tony came up on a slide in literature as an example of a byronic hero and Everyone looked at me this is so embarrassing

a byronic hero is a character that means to be heroic and is but they don't come across as one/people don't believe that they're working for the good of the people and tend to be very smart, hard to read, can be morally ambiguous and are self-critical and self-destructive, hello, it's him

that means he's in the same category as mr darcy, matt murdock, han solo, uh. megamind,

There’s a post going around that starts out like “sorry for Who-posting in 2019” and I just hate how fandom culture got to the point that liking things is Wrong and Bad, Doctor Who is a consistently good show that has had missteps in every era (including under Davies) and we shouldn’t act like people are dumb for enjoying it or that they need to apologize for even bringing it up, and that goes for every fandom everywhere. Just because some fans are crazy doesn’t mean that we can’t enjoy the things they’re crazy about while still thinking they’re weird.

So it’s cringey now to enjoy what has made you happy for years? Fuck that! I’ll post Harry Potter on main until the last book on earth gets eaten by the gigantic caterpillar overloards that are one day going to overtake us all and that’s that.
