Tumblr wont undo my ban

FUCK I love FFXIV's writing. The writers seriously made me go from full on ugly crying about Exarch G'raha's death, then turned on a fucking dime to having me absolutely cackling at dumbass Mi'quote boyfriend's stupidity.

Like, first of all. G'raha's introduction as a Scion, where the writers just fully drag G'raha for filth.

"Oh hey, Scions. I know I was directly responsible for averting a timeline in which all of you, including the WoL died, by helping to save two fucking worlds, but I dunno. Are you sure I'm cool enough to be in your club?"

Honestly, "G'raha, really" is far too mild a response. Like.

G'raha. My dude. My guy. My sibling in Hydaelyn. I say this with all the love in the world, but stop being fucking delusional.

The dumbassery continues IMMEDIATELY upon starting 5.4, when G'raha stresses privately to you that 'what if he was too casual in his greeting'. You know, like, 'what if they don't know I respect them sooooo much' or whatever.

Yeah. Okay. Can you stop being fucking adorable for a minute and come to this meeting?

When Lyse shows up, G'raha fanboys to himself about meeting Lyse fucking Hext. And when Alphinaud has the audacity to remind G'raha that he was FUCKING INSTRUMENTAL to that whole "saving The First" thing y'all just finished doing, you can practically watch his soul leave his body.

And look. As someone who feels almost physical pain when I am praised in front of other people, it's probably hypocritical to enjoy his suffering so much. But I do. I really do.

And yet, despite his constant hero-worship of the other Scions - which he is now a member of - and his complete and total inability to hide his feelings about anything, he's somehow shocked. SHOCKED. When Y'shtola is like, bro go spend time with your hero, it's fine.

Hero? Oh. Uh. No, it's just. I mean, I literally died for them. And I give them big calf-eyes whenever they're around. And I follow them around like an adorable house cat with their favorite human, but. I mean. I'm just trying to be useful.

They just found out what tariffs are

They just found out what denaturalization is

They (particularly black and Hispanic trump voters) just found out that other trump voters are racist

Leftists and liberals don't want to be their friends (they are furious about this)

outdoor cats are essentially feral cats that tolerate human interaction and happen to sleep in someone’s house. they have no gripes about dropping dead birds and rodents all over your life.

🔹If someone else's fiction is causing you emotional or psychological harm, or distress, you can put it down and not read/watch it.

🔹Your emotional well-being is not the responsibility of fiction writers.

🔹Someone else's fiction is not about your personal trauma.

🔹When reading or watching fiction, you always have the power. You can always stop. You are never reading fiction without your own consent.

🔹Fiction writers are not responsible for other people's mental health.

🔹The content of a piece of fiction does not reflect on the morality of its author.

🔹Just because someone writes about bad things happening, doesn't mean they want those things to happen.

-discomfort is not the same as harm and acclimating yourself via fiction to strongly unpleasant emotions such as sorrow, indignation, and disgust will make you stronger and healthier
