Zverev managing to be an embarrassment even off the tennis court.

i think i might have unlocked something in a lot of you

I was kind of struck today that all of the love and interest I have in everything that happened with c!rainduo was like. 99.99% cc!niki's work. Like everything that was fun about that dynamic was extrapolated by niki. Wilbur would go about his shit and then niki would react to it in interesting ways. Niki trusting Wilbur above all. Niki having a weird relationship to her loyalty to him and L'Manberg with Eret. Niki scared and angry and alone in Manberg trying to hold out on Wil's unfulfilled promise that he'd come back for her. Niki not telling a soul about the TNT. Niki taking his coat and wearing it. Niki seeing Ghostbur and thinking that she's hallucinating. Like I try not to downplay what work creators did because they suck and I hate them and Wilbur obviously did a lot on the dsmp but with rainduo like. he gave her a tour on the server and they had a few conversations during the elections to Manberg period then he did the apology stream which is my least favorite c!rainduo thing generally. he was in character during her birthday event but he literally spent the whole time focused on Quackity.

People in the post NWH fandom headcanoning Norman Osborn as having DID will never not be wild and a little frustrating to me not just because he was rather prominently written in a way to differentiate things from systems in the trilogy itself and all the heavily stereotypical things NWH featured was some mcu typical ableism against the mentally disabled, not just because good personality evil personality is already a prevailing ableist stereotype plaguing systems, not just because it burns the entire point of Norman’s parallels to Peter to the goddamn ground, not just because it’s yet another instance of marvel writing Norman into situations where they can strip him of responsibility for his actions rather than writing an actual redemption arc and being forced to make him acknowledge awful shit he’s done (wow both instances of this occurring involve something intended to either demonize or punch down at Harry so you don’t have to think seriously about the child abuse thing), but also like. The raimi trilogy already includes a character implied to the point of being borderline canon with a heavily stigmatized mental disorder, even if not DID in Harry Osborn. And it’s unbelievably frustrating to see people ignore a character who, even if not perfect, is actually pretty damn well written for his time in favor of a character who was never intended to be seen that way and is riddled with MCU induced ableist stereotypes.
