I'm literally so mega pissed. What do you mean people's takeaway from this episode is, "oh wow Ult used to be such a jerk"??? Are you fucking kidding me? How are people STILL missing the total point of his character? I've gotten to the point where it would be impossible to defend him without literally just saying all I've already said but tldr: a kid character written like a kid character is not annoying. For fucks sake, they are a CHILD. Of course a homeless kid taken in by a total stranger he had no choice to grow up with is going to be moody and socially inept. Expecting Ult to be very well behaved despite his past is ridiculous.
Why is no one ever satisfied with Ult. Why the fuck do I have to break my own back defending a character who shouldn't need to be defended each damn time an episode comes out?? Why can NO ONE appreciate a good character??? Sorry if this is mega dramatic I'm just like deadass personally offended by the people who just refuse to understand him.

Ooc. More rant because I'm so mad I gave myself a migraine somehow
The people who hate Ult are so fucking funny to me. Like how the fuck do you miss the point of his character SO bad. It's tragic.
We've gotten like five or so episodes focused on Ult in comparison to the nineteenish episodes he's appeared in; even then, his plotline has been overshadowed by more pressing matters.
Before hating really any character, one should take the effort to psychoanalyze them first. Understand their motivations, their nature, and what has shaped them to turn out the way they have thus far. It doesn't have to be extreme trauma that made Ult the way he is. I've said this before but I'm going to say it as many times as I need to: there is more than one way to fuck up a kid.
A commonly used example to explain this is: A person drowning in a five foot pool is still suffering the same amount as a person drowning in a twenty foot deep pool, for example. It doesn't fucking matter how deep it is; they're still going to both die. This serves as a sort of metaphor for the fact that it doesn't matter how extreme a trauma has to be; minor things can affect people very badly, too.
By refusing to look at a character you dislike and taking them at face value, you not only refuse to acknowledge the effort put into their traits, you completely overlook them and therefore have no valid reason to actually dislike them. Think about it: this is a child, a child who has literally only ever been a mild nuisance; he hasn't done anything horribly wrong or said anything controversial.
Again, if you hate a character, you should at least have a valid reason to. I've asked many people for their reasoning on their dislikes of characters; I have never received a valid, actual argument for why said character deserves it. They're just "annoying", and that apparently makes them hateable. This is especially when it comes to children characters: god for-fucking-bid a kid acts like a kid. Oh no it's the end of the world.
And don't get me started on how unfair it is to not just the character but the WRITERS to scream on your socials about how underdeveloped a NEW CHARACTER is. Imagine saying you hate a character with about an hour total of screentime and a few minutes of actual lore. Like oh my goddddd. Wait like a few damn months for development before deciding you hate a fictional fucking twelve year old.
Just a reminder that even if it's an rp blog, if you have minors dni in your bio, that should mean you will not willingly interact with a minor! It's a two way street: you dont bug them, they dont bug you. simple, right? So then why am I seeing people who specifically say "ew minors dni!!" in their bio go out of their way to follow/rp with/interact with MINORS? It's fucking ridiculous.
This isn't targeted at anyone in horizons rp! We're just pissed at our friend's rp friends being bastards.
Ooc. Posting here because I have no mutuals anywhere else. Please don't tap "keep reading" unless you understand systems and plurality.
Systems of Tumblr I need help π my headmate fronted while we were in the shower and looked at herself in the mirror and is now currently having an existential crisis (for context, she's a fictive but didnt know she wasn't her character) over herself and whether or not her source memories/whole life until a while ago is a lie. I'm co conning with her right now with our emotions guardian to calm her down but I have no idea what to do
