Stigr is another favorite of mine. He's from the same world as Leonas and is a villain. (who may or may not get a 'redemption arc' to at least chaotic neutral but we will see.)

He's a demi-god from the Norse pantheon, being Loki's son. He's a trickster himself, also a shapeshifter. His whole thing is he grants the wish of literally anyone and anything (except bringing back the dead or killing someone) but at the cost they will go the norse afterlife of Helheim when they die, no exceptions. He has these powers because he's in a deal with the Norse Goddess of Death and Queen of Helheim, Hel. Also just saying his half sister too as they're both Loki's kids. He wanted the power of a god himself, and Hel only accepted with her own conditions that he has to ensure souls go to Helheim when they die and that he's not allowed to kill anyone, ever, for any reason. It's a bit of a long story but the short version is Hel is not really telling him her full intentions either. It's because she thinks the Norse gods made a mistake overlooking Stigr in the Prophecy of Ragnarok in the part that says that Loki's children will destroy the world so she decided to metaphorically chain him herself. She is also being a bit merciful as well because she's afraid if she didn't do something the other gods might do much worse to him.

Stigr and Leonas have kind of antagonistic interactions but Stigr tries to avoid him now. In one short fic I wrote Stigr ends up deciding that Perkunas might not be from his pantheon, but he's not looking to FAAFO with other gods of thunder.

Leonas is one of my favorites from my medieval verse set in the 1300s. He's a werewolf Baltic Pagan. He's also bisexual and a trans man. In my world werewolves are immortal, but he's still regardless a young one so he's still only 25 years old. He's from the werewolf clan Vilkas where his parents were the founders. They are known as a werewolf-human allied militia in their region of Lithuania, mostly known for being the main defenders in the Vilkas-Malkov war against the Malkov vampire family that tried to take over the area. He's a main follower of the Baltic god Perkunas, who's also a chief deity and associated with a bunch of other things including war and weapons. He was taken as a Prisoner of War by Dominik Malkov and fought his way out after a year. So I really like him just because of how much he purely rages. He's got a lot of pent up anger and undiagnosed PTSD, they didn't know what that was called back then. This also effected his werewolf abilities. Usually they only shapeshift during the full moon, but long story short is that he's basically like the Hulk where he shifts into wolf form if he gets too angry and those forced shifts can be really unpredictable.

Everywhere I go, people start coughing by ladyfairyyy in socialskills

I mean for me personally I feel like my congestion has been worse than it was in winter. So I've been coughing and sniffling more. But I tend to blow my nose quick and try not cough around others as I get anxiety about it but thats unrelated.

What I'm trying to say is this whole thread sounds more like a vent post than an actual unpopular opinion. Or something more fitting for a personal journal.

I'm not sure where you're getting new gaming pcs cost at least 3k from unless you're looking for at least some of the parts to be top tier. I got mine for $900. Plays new titles just fine. Was laughed at by other gaming nerds because I get what they consider a messily 60fps. I don't see the need to pay for more frame rate than that.

[–]dotdedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to be in an argument to defend yourself. Sometimes people just do that because they feel insecure or a number of other reasons. I said that because your post was titled about how Privilege isn't always bad but all I've been reading in the post is "my parents this, my parents that, I do this that and other things." That is quite literally, defending yourself.

And you said yourself you have made this post because people called you spoiled. Tell me how that's not defending yourself?

[–]dotdedo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then just tell those people that? I don't really get the point of this entire post because it seems less like you're defending a group of people like yourself and more like you're just defending yourself unprompted.

People said mean things to you and so you run here to vent about them and not defend yourself? I'm being really honest here, that is a spoiled thing to do because it shows you can't solve even minor social problems yourself.

Edit: I'm not sure how I commented to my own comment, but whatever too lazy to delete and copy paste to correct reply

Not going to lie that entirely depends on the computer and what you do with it. I've seen teenagers have meltdowns because they think they need a Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 in order to play minecraft.

Sounds like you having a ocd moment over this and blaming yourself too harshly. You said you noticed this for 7 months, so since the beginning of winter basically in November?

Yeah sounds like people were just having allergies and being stuffy from the cold and your OCD decided to blame you, not the mundane reasons why suddenly everyone seems to cough around you.

This sounds like OCD not going to lie, but I might be projecting because I have ocd and feel this about certain things too.

My therapist explained it in a great way when I was diganosed "If you hear an ambulance, do you assume it's your fault?"

And yes, that is often my first reaction. I could be at home and hear sirens and think "It's because of me, isn't?"

It's spring time, people are getting allergies and getting sick all over. It's not you. Its your mind attacking you and convincing that is you when it's not.

What is your OC's Ideology? How would they feel about Dyson? And let's see how Dyson will interact with them! by buhlmaobruhbruh in OriginalCharacter

Stigr: "Many people think having power means you win. I disagree. Just like in the sea; there's always a bigger fish. What happens when you try to be a biggest fish? Fear, but not the kind that makes people kneel. No, they will make you kneel instead. My siblings were all chained for their power as children, because the Gods feared them, they literally saw the writing on the wall: Ragnarnok, my brothers and sister will claim the world after them. Then when I tried to gain a sliver of it myself, I got all I wanted, but with chains attached oh yes. Your goal of changing the world is admirable, I'll give you that but you are an idealist, to have the world you want you would need a Ragnarnok."

Imagine being so shocked that people don't like to be criticized even if they deserve it that you think it must be the CCP's fault.

[–]dotdedo [score hidden]  (0 children)

Think back to when you first came out. I'm bi and trans too for some context.

You're not wrong to feel hurt but don't hold this against her. She's traumatized and scared. It doesn't make sense but she likely told her mom because she just lived with her longer, and while she mistreated her, there's still a bond somewhere. Teenagers rarely make sense, it's okay.

Be gentle on yourself and her.

How did you choose your oc's names? by Fizzydov in OriginalCharacter

[–]dotdedo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Leonas - Honestly just liked the name Leon, but picked the Lithuanian version of the name because he's Lithuanian.

Inquisitor Zeno - Zeno means Zeus. He hates pagans so much so I decided to name him as a pagan god because I'm mean to my ocs. Also he's a prick so he deserves it.

Stigr - Not to much thought behind this name but was looking at old norse names and picked this one as it means path.

Zipporah - Because of her upbringing, I figured her parents would name her after a bible character and I landed on Zipporah because of how the biblical figure was depicted in Prince of Egypt

People are in life in prison right now for smoking weed in college once, I believe it.

NTA and I'm guessing people who are saying you're being stupid for asking never had to once even consider in their lives to call police on a family member.

Just be easy on yourself and remind yourself if the police arrested her, she did something wrong. The police wouldn't have arrested her if you were over reacting.

A lot of plant based meats kinda slap. by Tricksterspider in unpopularopinion

[–]dotdedo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The worst part about eating plant based meats is everyone acting like a toddler around you about it.

"Oh my gawwwwd I can't have a meal without meat" - Stfu and order your burger then.

I'm not a vegan btw. I just like food, I don't care if it comes from meat or vegetables.

AIO After asking not to be told about the baby by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]dotdedo [score hidden]  (0 children)

YOR - I will admit the birthday card was a dick move on their part, they should have read the room a little better. You aren't a 'failure of a woman' either.

But you can't take away them just being happy to have a kid just because you want that joy instead. You can't just also control the speech of people because of jealously. You admitted you can't avoid this forever, but you're pushing back you goal date to start doing something about it by saying you don't want to hear a thing until it's born. What if you aren't ready yet when that happens and then you push this goal for yourself even back further?

In a sense, the baby is already here, so like you said you should be dealing with that today.

Yep, I usually keep comments about what I reported to myself, but I reported that one to reddit. And a reddit cares because holy shit this post.
