some of them are questionable — take chloe, warren, victoria’s friends. even max to an extent. some of them plain suck — take nathan and victoria herself. some of them are plain good, like kate.

but they’re all teenagers, fresh into adulthood and figuring it out as they go, and some of them are doing good and some of them fuck it up bad.

especially victoria and nathan. victoria is bitchy and downright cruel at times, but she’s not heartless, and she does show remorse (even if it’s too little too late.) nathan is.. a lot, i could talk about him for hours (and have), but his character boils down to a freshly 18 year old who was repeatedly abused and did some very, very bad things as a result.

none of them are evil. we see as much in the alternate universe. they’re full humans, of course, and they’re flawed and some of them have done bad things, but they’re all just a bunch of high schoolers.

everything, and i mean everything bad that happened was due to the adults — jefferson, frank, wells, david, mr. amber, frank, damon, so on and so forth. people approach this story with frustratingly little nuance, and i suppose i understand because most of us are the same age as the protagonists (or younger).

Don’t fucking do this?

Context: I posted fanart that includes safi in it

First, I get that she’s not “uwu and wholesum” but whatever you think of Safi don’t go to artists works and type that unnecessary shit??

Imo Safi was probably the best part of double exposure. But I don’t go to people who hate that game or her character to let them know cause well, THEY DIDNT ASK

Some of you need to learn how to behave and give your negative opinion or take whenever in the right place at the right time WHEN ASKED

Second “I just think you’re better than this”

Here’s the thing

I DONT KNOW YOU PEOPLE

I’m just an artist from the internet, unless we’ve been in the same server for some time and we talk in private

Other wise IM JUST A STRANGER TO YOU WHO POSTS ART OF CHARACTERS YOU LIKE

There were times in the fandom where people crossed my boundaries and I had to hold back cause I don’t wanna come off as “difficult” or have my words be misconstrued (esp as someone who ships a controversial couple)

And third thing, I’m allowed to like flawed characters as much as I like!

I love most of the grand theft auto protagonists who did some heinous unforgivable shit, at least safis motives make sense she’s not completely evil she’s mad as hell cause every person in her life failed her and maya (INCLUDING HER OWN MOTHER)

Also as a long time middle eastern lis fan, I appreciate safi for being a complex and complicated Arab character- I never thought I’d ever see something like this in this white as hell franchise
