“Crowfeather clawed Breezepaw’s ear which has no nerve endings-“ false, they not only feel it, but it fucking bleeds?? literally the same as people excusing spanking bc you’re hitting kids butts which has more padding and you can’t see the marks under clothing so it’s okay
It feels like a microcosm of "is it ever okay to hit your kid?" discourse (the answer is no btw. there is literally never a moment where the answer is yes) but now made even worse by people who think fridged women are a compelling character motivation
bonefall made a good post about the difference between 'cuffing' in the series and whatnot. lemme see if i can dig it up.

The Art of Dreams: Reflections and Representations
The Tomb of Caterina della Ratta and the Iconography of the Reclining Reader in Renaissance Sepulcharl Art, Yonni Ascher
Ancestor Masks and Aristocratic Power in Roman Culture, Harriet I Flower
okay so just. play connect the dots with me for a second. Girolamo Basso della Rovere is Giuliano della Rovere's (Pope Julius II) cousin. Ascanio Sforza was a long time rival, and later ex-enemy of Giiuliano's. this kind of familial mirroring in the tombs, the way that Ascanio is being subsumed into a matching visual with someone of della Rovere's family is. interesting. because it goes well beyond the expected patron-client relationship between the pope and his cardinals. like, these were companion monuments.
there's also a kind of tragic romantic violence to it, given Ascanio's persistent loyalty to his family and Milan, and Ludovico's plans to have Ascanio's body brought back to Milan in the event of his death and interred in the same chapel as Beatrice d'Este.

i dont think enough credit is given to edward elric for being the funniest character to ever exist solely on account of the fact that he MET GOD. MULTIPLE TIMES. AND YET HE'S AN ATHEIST
based honestly no other character can ever compare to how based but also hilarious that is. he literally met god then goes to a church and is like 'yall foolish for believing in god bro he aint real'
EDWARD YOU LITERALLY MET GOD

Ughhh yes to Price’s corruption kink!! If he found out that you’ve only had shitty hookups and nobody’s been able to make you finish? This man would have you shaking and crying in record time. It’s so hot to him that he’s the only person who has made you feel like that
yesss 😍👌he totally gets off on it. "you've been fucked, love; but you've never fucked." and he sets the standard so astronomically high that you just drop to your knees and immediately propose.

I make jokes about hating Wheatley but genuinely I think if he were real I would be the one annoying HIM. My favorite past time with people like him is egging them on to say stupid shit or being annoying for my own amusement (like me arguing with my sister for 30 minutes trying to find a scenario where she would eat a small bite of human meat). I'd also probably feed into his ego like crazy for more entertainment. So he'd absolutely have a love-hate relationship with me

what does "jiang cheng is a tsundere!" even mean?
Tsundere (ツンデレ, pronounced [t͡sɯndeɾe]) is a Japanese term for a character development process that depicts a character with an initially harsh personality who gradually reveals a warmer, friendlier side over time.
[quoted directly from Wikipedia]
when does this "warm, friendlier" side of jiang cheng emerge? he literally participated in a massacre (you know, the victims of whom were innocent farmers, even a granny and could have even been a child). he was instrumental in his martial brother's death, knowing full well his sister sacrificed herself to save him. he literally physically and verbally abuses his nephew. he captures and kills anyone who resembles WWX slightly for years after his death--- you know, even if he just hates WWX for some miraculous justification, he is killing innocent people. he even blames and mocks WWX for giving him his golden core.
what "warmer, friendlier" side, dude?

I think the main problem of the rainwild chronicals stems from the fact tha5 the there isnt enough plot time for the story to properly delve into the psyche of the characters and let them develop, losing much of the appeal most rote books have. Those are annoying teenagers that don't go through all the trauma other rote characters do to change to not-annoying teenagers (like in liveships) the characters do , but neither doe sthe story take place over a long enough period of time for them to develop into adults (like fitz in the farseer trilogy)
When you get to the f&f trilogy you see how much they truely developed and found their place and became adults (encluding some changes that seem drastic, because it has been so long in world since they were who they were in their own series). Its just kind of dissapointing how so many characters we just didnt get to see the development of, because of the lack of time for it in the rain wild chronicles themselves.
