messed up that you can literally be better and nicer in every way and the adventuring party will still be like "waaa its a shapeshifter waaaa the real whatstheirface would never say that" like ok maybe i am a picture perfect copy of your friend that i imprisoned beneath the earth and replaced when you werent looking. so what. maybe they were a cunt. maybe i thought youd appreciate an improved version of your friend. with awesome eldritch tendrils.

you're just mad because you're hungry and tired and your legs hurt and you head hurts and you're too hot and you have depression

“and in this universe would you be helping him psychologically and trying to redirect his behavior” oh nah but i would be holding him tenderly. and on that dick. regularly

“ah he’s stabbed someone again” yeah. i was there. and you won’t like what happened afterwards

sharing a wikipedia page is romantic

we might be blogging hours apart but time is nothing. i love you

Aromantic tumblr users will go “we need more aromantic characters” and fandom users will cheer like “yes, yes, of course! oh, splendid!” and then the aromantic users will be like “btw this semi-attractive main character is aromantic” and the fandom users all inhale sharply through their teeth with their fingers on their chins and go “um, romance favorable…right?”

i love it when writers play sympathy chicken with me by making characters who suck for understandable reasons but are, like, so uncharismatic and regressive and genuinely difficult to root for about it. i love it when being a victim doesn't make someone a better person or motivate any kind of self reflection or improvement. i love it when people who were hurt respond in mundane, unromantically terrible ways that only make them more pathetic and repellent to others. i'm not even being ironic these are some of my favourite kinds of characters. can't say i'm as fond of what happens when they're introduced to a fandom though.
