Kaizoku Oujo // Episode 10

kind of obsessed with the new trend of sites like buzzfeed using terms like “lying” and “fooling you” regarding storylines/couples/film techniques in movies and tv. wandavision is gaslighting you into thinking superheroes are real! this actor had a stunt double do this particular stunt, he TRICKED you! these actors LIED and made you think that they’re together when ACTUALLY they’re married to other people!

”Wherever you want to go, I’ll go with you. Wherever you stop, I’ll stop too. Like the raicho birds on the island.”

“When I was little, my father told me something that a great man once said. ’In this fleeting life, there are two moments of joy above all others. When we are born into this world and take our first breath, and when we learn what we were put on this earth to do.’ I don’t know what they will be, but I do think that the answers you seek can be found only there. The answer to who you are, and the answer to why you and I met.”

“I’ll keep protecting you. I’ll protect you with all that I have. To make sure the others won’t be put in danger again, I’ll strive to become even stronger. Fena. Let’s go together.”

“Fena. No matter what happens, I swear I will always keep you safe. My hand… will never again…let go of yours.”

“For ten long years…I could never get it out of my head. Her voice, shouting out my name amid all the fire and terror. Her trembling hand. Her eyes, filled with despair and sadness as she drifted away. The emptiness that descended on me afterwards. I’ll never let go of her hand again. It doesn’t matter to me who she is. I’m going to go save Fena. If anyone tries to get in my way, no matter who they are, I’ll kill them without mercy!”

“You were married; don’t you know how this is supposed to go? The woman doesn’t want you to argue or try to solve the problem with logic. The woman wants you to commiserate with her. You don’t have to fix anything. Just stand there and nod and say ‘uh huh’ and ‘I understand.’ That’s all you’re supposed to do.”

—    Lindsay Buroker,  The Emperor’s Edge    

“There are times when I am convinced I am unfit for any human relationship.”

not to post even more Villains Discourse on main but it really bugs me how people read giving villains tragic backstories as inherently excusing their actions and/or demonizing trauma survivors.

the actual message of Tragic Villains is (almost) always “people who are never taught or given any healthy, constructive outlets for their emotions will often find unhealthy, destructive outlets.” it’s that people who are traumatized and never learn how to cope with that trauma can become a danger to themselves and others. the message isn’t “trauma makes you evil!!!!” or “genocide is okay if you’ve been sad before!!!!” it’s “people need compassion and help to recover from trauma instead of becoming increasingly angry and harming themselves and others in the process.”

this site takes an alarmingly behaviorist and punitive approach to everything and it’s literally the most annoying thing. y’all have this concept that “if we just punish people hard enough, if we just scare them enough, if we just make them feel guilty enough.” that people just Do Bad Things Because They Do Bad Things, I Guess, and Because We Didn’t Threaten Them And Shame Them Enough. but humans are an innately social species. at our very core, we need compassion and kindness. we need healthy relationships with other humans.

you can keep looking at traumatized villains and being like “haha this dumb pathetic sadboi thinks murder is okay because his parents died” but as a survivor myself, unaddressed/untreated trauma absolutely can make you ragey and destructive. i was lucky enough to have support and eventually get the treatment i needed. but it’s not hard at all for me to imagine how, if that hadn’t been the case, that could’ve been me. obviously not on a movie-villain scale like murder or war crimes, but it’s so irritating as someone whose trauma has always manifested as anger to watch people on this site be like “this is just bad writing!!! real survivors/good survivors don’t end up like that the writers just hate survivors and want the audience to condone murder!”

saw a post about redemption arcs and i realized that a lot of our discussions would be improved if we discussed villains for what they are (pieces of a narrative whole) instead of what they definitely are not (real people on trial)

Something I don't get about this hellsite:

When an actually well written piece of media has a main romance that has... conflict, the fandoms just decides to ignore them for those two that had like... two scenes (but zero conflict) and claim that that relationship should have been the focus or go all quirky 'uwu the writers want me so much to focus on Y but look how I'm liking X despite Y being the entire point of the story.'

But when it's actually a bad piece of media with a badly written boring relationship... The fandom goes on of how we have to Respect the Author and how the main relationship that is so Pure and Good™ is of course the focus of the story.

It's almost as if they just like boring, baseless relationships in which they can... Project.

Kaizoku Oujo | Ep 1 | Everything fell silent. All I remember was a sound of metal like a ringing in my ears. A blade that gave off an eerie glow. A helmet with antlers. Deep black eyes.
