I’m Sorry To Burst Anyone’s Bubble But No One In An Active War Zone Is Wasting Their Time Fighting

I don't want him to die because I hate him but because he is one of my favorite characters on the show.

I understand what op means and have nothing against people who agree but I want to present a different point of view.

I want him to be the character with most screen time this season (maybe with the exception of El) and I want as many story arcs for him. Revealing what happened in the upside down all these years ago and how he survived, more of him spying on Vecna, him in trances fighting or running from One in his mind, being the best with guns after Nancy and Hopper and owning it, some more trauma we didn't know about, Birthday gate, him with powers? I want everything they can give us.

I want the writers to flush him out, show us how much he has been through and how he is still fighting even after everything. I want him full of hope, seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for a first time in a long time, finding strength to dream and have hopes for tomorrow again, finding himself, feeling like himself amongst the people he loves, happy, content and holpfull.

Then I want him to die. I don't want him to die in just any way. I want him to sacrifice himself to save everyone (bonus points if it was the only way to end it all) but not because he doesn't have anything to live for or because he is depressed and alone. I want him to sacrifice himself because he has hope. Hope that everyone else will survive, finish it and live good, fulfilling lives even if he isn't there anymore.

I want to see his end as the very opposite of how he was in the beginning of the series. Whereas when he was taken he was afraid, helpless and desperate to survive by the end of S5 he should be confident, hopeful and in peace with his demise.

In the beginning, he was taken against his will, and he had to run and hide to survive. In the end, he stops running and hiding, not from monsters but from himself and who he really is. (Maybe he had known for a long time that he had to die to stop the Upside down and Henry but was too afraid but now he is ready.)

I don't really want him to die but there is something poetic about the series starting and ending with him. If they really do a good job with his character and arc and then kill him I will be at peace (emotionally broken but still) but if he lives but they don't do much with his character I will be disappointed.

There are many things a character can be worse than death and one of them is irrelevant.

He thought he was a mistake… his own dad called him slurs… he survived in the upside down by himself… kids bullied him at school… he was in love with his best friend… castle byers was his only safe place… he still didn’t know his life could turn even worse… and yet there’s people that want him to die in s5

Could someone please recommend some good tragic Rhaenicent fics? I’m open to any length, and they don’t even need to be endgame—I just want something tragic, painful, and gut-wrenching. I’d even accept fics that aren’t explicitly romantic, as long as they love each other more than they should and their relationship is colored by their envy, hate, and everything in between.

For example, an AU where Rhaenyra survives, but all her children are dead, so she visits Alicent in her tower—not just to torment her, savoring her slow descent into madness, but also because she craves her company. She still loves this woman in front of her, even as she hates her for everything she is and has done.

Do you get what I mean? I want it to hurt, I want it to bleed, and I want madness—whether it’s mine or theirs, it doesn’t matter.

We need more simps

Why did writers decide that simp characters are out and cold Duke of the North ones are in? Don’t get me wrong some aloof male leads are really good but most of the time their whole personality is their successful carriers and deep trauma that made them cold as stones. Simps are much more entertaining to watch/read about in my opinion.

The world needs more characters like Basil Hallward and Armand, but right now, only kdramas (to my knowledge; if you have recommendations, please share) are giving us the much-needed simps, which is tragic.

Spoilers for Arcane S2 Act III

If I had a nickel every time 2 characters start on bad terms only for one of them to save the other in the very same episode which kicks of their friendship which is essential to their arcs and makes the one saved a better person and helps him achieve everything he has ever dreamed of and more while the other slowly loses himself, disregarding his own morals for the greater good while working in the shadows towards their shared goal but gets tunnel vision and forgets himself (which leads to the destruction of everything he worked for) and they are referred to as/called the two sides of the same coin and at the end they hold one another as they/one of them die (and btw one of the characters is in relationship with this badass woman he doesn't deserve but still choses to spend his last moments in the presence and only thinking about the sassy twink that has been there for him for years) and they don't kiss, it isn't outright stated that they love each other romantically but there is love, it is beyond friendshp, brotherhood or partnersip, they are soulmates...

I will have 2 nickels which isn't a lot but...

I CAN"T TAKE IT ANYMORE

Switched at birth is filled with sapphics for the ones with eyes to see.

If I had a nickel for every show I’ve seen where the best character is named Regina who’s straight according to the canon but has a surprisingly sapphic feeling relationship with her coparent, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that its happened twice.

I’ve been found dead on the floor with tears streaming down my face

The song playing during Ekko and Powder's scene “Ma Meilleure Ennemie” by Stromae, Pomme perfectly portraying Timebomb feels like the final nail in the cofin.

You’re the best thing that ever happened to me, but also the worst thing that ever happened to me. The day I met you, I would’ve preferred that it never happened. The worst of blessings. The most beautiful jinx. ... You know what they say keep your closest friends near, but keep your enemies even closer. But my dearest enemy is you.

One thing I appreciate star wars for always showing consistently is that 95% of all Jedi can't help but be good.

Like this isn't a matter of just being a good person or being trained to be a good person. They literally cannot help but be compassionate and caring. Even when they are doing wrong things, like in acolyte, it is still out of good intentions. It was a huge misunderstanding of course, but they just want everything to be good, which is an unrealistic goal and sometimes that results in bad things because of point of views.

But I can appreciate the fact that not a single fucking Jedi in the entirety of star wars wasn't good when presented with the opportunity. (Pong krell does not count and he can suck my dick) They simply couldn't help it, as the grand inquisitor says in Kenobi. The smart thing would be to not be involved, but even when they are being ACTIVELY HUNTED, They cannot stop themselves from butting in and helping others. Obi wan tried , but ended up helping, Cal tried to hide, ended up exposing himself to save someone, Ezra and Kanan, Ahsoka, Quinlan voss, and these are just the main people , who knows how many other survivors tried to help and ended up sacrificing themselves just so like 3-4 innocents could live. They didn't do anything on a grand scale, but those little acts of kindness probably helped hope from dying out completely.

The Jedi are the literal embodiment of hope and goodness and I fucking love that. Despite everything, and all the defamation palpatine did, the people still considered Jedi good.

Like you know shit is bad when even the criminals are like "the empire is had for business, the Jedi were better"

And i appreciate it. The galaxy is a harsh place, and so is the real world. So it's wonderful seeing a faction that is just good. Sure they made mistakes with Anakin and some other times but like that's upto the people imo, not them as a whole. Where there is pong krell, there is also mace windu, there is also obi wan and Yoda .

And I appreciate them for showing this consistently. Do they make mistakes, yes everyone does. But they were completely finessed by palpatine into losing their way and they STILL managed to do their best.

I am a proud Jedi sympathiser and will probably be executed for that in the empire.
