i dont think fictional characters would want to participate in anti/proship discourse. wouldnt that be funny though? like imagine steven universe telling the crystal gems that he had to death threat jasper because she was darkshipping
I'm not into articles like these, but this had me cackling
Bro she was supposed to become her LoL character in season 2. That was the whole point of her development and trauma, she was MEANT to no longer give a fuck of it and do shit her way despite everyone else. She wasn't meant to be humanized the way she is and the fandom makes her be. She was my favourite female character because she doesn't give a fuck. If she wants to blow up a city, she will. Why? Because she just can.
Arcane producers really were like “How can we make this as incestuous as possible without actual incest”
I'm personally still not over Jinx sensually blowing into Vi's ear, and immediately being followed up with "Looking good sis".

istg i'll see ppl say shit like "im fine with media depicting abuse/rape/whatever as long as it isnt glorifying/romanticizing it" then turn around and say cannibalism is a metaphor for love and that murder conveys devotion. i hate to inform you but youre romanticizing violence
What does it all mean…
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
I'm so tired of the hate Ashley Graves receives on the internet in general.
Not because I think everyone should like the character because there's no accounting for personal taste, but it's so obvious when they are just misogynists who hate Ashley but for some reason love Andrew and actively defend him for actions that both siblings committed.
Like no, Ashley did NOT force Andrew to do shit, Andrew had plenty of opportunities throughout his life to at least try to separate himself from his sister as much as possible and put a stop to Ashley's actions (example: take Ashley's harassment to Julia seriously and not just dismiss it)
The point is that he doesn't do it because he's just as bad as she is, and him blaming her for all his misfortunes is just his way of coping so he doesn't feel so bad about himself afterwards.
I know this is something a lot of people have already pointed out, but it's because I'm on Tumblr (where I only read posts from people who adore her) that I sometimes completely forget how much people actually hate her out there 💀
Played the latest episode of coffingame for the first time, mostly blind , and i got the "deadest of dead-ends" ending, with this achivement. The game outright told me i wouldn't get any Nancy Drew game-style instant do-overs, because this was the result of such a long series of fuck-ups that it couldn't easily be fixed.
And this definitely felt like a bad ending, a game-over, or a dead end. But honestly, it felt satisfying. A tragic ending that arises naturally out of the faults of our main characters. More under the cut
The sibling's tensions get a natural climax, where Andrew physically abuses Ashley and then they have dubcon-at-best sex where Andrew is very drunk and gets cajoled into it by Ashley. Their abuse of each other that has been going on for the whole game up to this point reaches a kind of peak here. And their relationship reaches its obvious, natural conclusion. Their feelings for each other couldn't end any other way. It was already incestous in every way but the most basic literal sense, and now it is that too.
This of course this doesn't fix shit in the ongoing decay of their personalities and relationship. The sibs know this, and are at an impasse, a low point, so they decide to end it all. And end it in the same way that Andrew the incestous romantic weirdo suggested at the start of the game, jumping to their deaths together, their bodies being splattered and mixed together, so their bodies will be forever intertwined.
And the bastards that they are, they decide to do it in front of a bunch of school kids on a field trip, so they will be traumatized. They even shout "hey kids watch this", and Ashley does the akanbe at them, and go down in an embrace, laughing.
It's really a great ending, it got everything. It's even set up at the start of the game with Andrew's fantasy. And these two co-dependent idiots being both unable to resolve their issues, even with incest, but also unable to leave each other, so they die together always felt the most likely outcome for them. And their suicide has this playfully edgy tragi-comedic tone that feels like peak The Coffin of Andy and Leyley.
This might only be a game over or a point-and-click adventure game dead end, but it's definitely a satisfying if tragic ending in its own right. I laughed, felt an odd sense of catharsis, it's great.
