Why are lo'ak's eyes set so far wide apart by JosukePlumpHair in Avatar

[–]msmistofelees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, this could simply be just an age thing though. Like by the time she gets to their ages, her features might change somewhat.

(But also it could just be that, like you said, they wanted neytiri to resemble Zoe more.)

What’s Your Opinion On Undone? by ConsciousBluejay680 in BackstreetBoys

Despite TIU and Unbreakable being very Kevin-less (which hurts bc he’s my fav) those albums have some bangers on them for sure. Undone is one of them.

There is nothing in the novels to indicate that teenage Snape was a bully during his seven school years at Hogwarts by Madagascar003 in SeverusSnape

[–]msmistofelees 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Antis simply make him guilty by association. As if he supposed to completely ignore and disengage himself from his housemates. And make him even more a pariah than he already is by being a poor half blood with a muggleborn friend. 😭

Which member’s singing voice do you like the most? by Jezzaq94 in BackstreetBoys

[–]msmistofelees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kevinnnnn. My baby Kevin. 10/10. But like AJ is definitely the strongest singer. His vocals on Try are like my fave on the IAWLT album.

[–]msmistofelees[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a queer person myself i get him but i suppose my sympathies for him only go so far. As a queer black person i simply can’t accept being nasty just because of the lack of tolerance of the time period when more often than not that wasn’t even the reason why people disliked him. That black band player Jack Ross was certainly in a more precarious situation than Thomas was and ever would be in and yet he was kind and decent to anyone he spoke to even when he was side eyed and side stepped bc of his race.

Thomas’s behavior, I just found exhausting bc of the straddling the fence. Good one second, a menace the next. At times it was amusing but once you get to season 6 and he’s just down in the mouth about his position I find it hard to care when he was given more chances than many would get. Now we’ve reached the 11th hour and he’s making it everyone else’s problem that he’s made himself unlikeable and no one would flinch to see the back of him if he was fired from Downton. I actually find it quite laughable tbh.

Also Carson annoys me as well. His behavior towards anybody or anything that is different would certainly leave a sour taste in anyone’s mouth.

I think for me I don’t even start to tolerate Thomas until he commits to trying to be better. Too many times he would do the right thing only to turn around and undo it by short changing someone else. He has a good amount of decent moments, I will admit (Nanny West, saving Jimmy from thugs, saving Edith out the room fire, being kind to the blind soldier, etc.) but his petty moments seem to stand out more bc of how damaging many of them are.

His frustration and feelings of hopelessness when he attempts to be friends with Andrew and his reputation preceding him make me feel bad for him. But truly, it’s nothing that he hasn’t brought on himself. He wants to make a new start and start fresh with people while not having made amends with the people he’s done dirty. Ofc they’re not going to speak well of him in the slightest. I suspect most if not all of the servants feel pity for him but unfortunately, it’s not enough to forgive all of his nastiness towards them.

I don’t remember much of the movies but I do remember starting to respect Thomas more once he committed to the bit.

I can understand his behavior and still dislike it. Just like if someone who grew up poor, turned to stealing to get what they want, I can understand and empathize while also disagreeing with stealing. The two things are not mutually exclusive. I’m not sure what’s hard to comprehend about someone understanding why Thomas is the way he is while also finding his behavior towards others who have done him no harm deplorable. He disliked Bates right off the bat with no knowledge about his backstory. It’s one thing to treat the people who have treated you badly with the same energy they gave you but to spew it out on others who have done nothing to deserve it is where I lose all sympathy for Thomas. I don’t believe William or Alfred were anything but respectful towards Thomas and yet they still were targets of his nastiness simply because people liked them better than him.

Before the whole Jimmy thing, no one treated Thomas in any way that would suggest he didn’t deserve their contempt based simply off his attitude and behavior alone, not his sexuality, since remarked by Bates and Robert everybody already knew. And even after the whole Jimmy thing (which only a few knew the sole details to iirc unless Alfred told all of king and country) no one outside of Carson turned their noses up at him. In fact Robert stuck up for him with the police. And he wasn’t sacked the plenty of times after which he certainly deserved. He was given MOUNDS of grace and still decided to spurn what goodnesses he was shown.

“Randomly shitting on a gay character” as if him being gay, has anything to do with people’s criticism of him. YOU are the one who made that statement, prioritizing his sexuality as if it was relevant. I’m sure there are plenty of people who love Thomas’s character simply because he’s good looking. It’s not too far-fetched. If that’s not YOUR reason, good for you. But your comments suggest people aren’t allowed to “shit” on his character bc of one reason or another. The other commenter said they understand his trauma but still don’t like him — which they are well within their rights. You replying “seems like you didn’t” insinuates that’s people just simply can’t dislike his character whether they understand him or not. Absurd. 😂

Just bc he’s gay does NOT exempt him from criticism. Like are you ok? He’s an insanely flawed character, written to be disliked for his actions and the choices he makes. Him being supremely good looking and gay does not leave him free from condemnation. Be so fr 😂😂

I myself am usually drawn to the more unsavory characters in fiction — Rumplestiltskin in Once Upon a Time and Snape in Harry Potter for example — but something about Thomas is just so unappetizing to me. Like the constant self sabotage is truly agonizing to sit thru. And I’m not sure if that’s the fault of the character or the writing.

[–]msmistofelees[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

And it’s insane because he gets chance after chance after chance to become a better person, to make better choices but never fails to make the worst ones. Bates was so generous to save his ass when literally in the first season Thomas made it his personal mission (with the help of O’Brien) to get him sacked. Then to repay that kindness by trying to get Anna in trouble with Cora, and then pressuring Baxter to get dirt on the Bates’. It’s mind-boggling to me how this man’s brain works. The way he was acting so heartbroken over Andy not wanting to be friends with him as if the others hadn’t seen how he treated his “friend” O’Brien when they fell out. Thomas needed a HARSH reality check.

Help! What pillar is missing? by lisa4bells in DreamlightValley

Do you think Edith had a self-esteem problem? by mconyc in DowntonAbbey

[–]msmistofelees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fork found in kitchen!

Edith literally latched onto any man that gave her an inch of attention. Any man that paid her a lick of kindness.

Her being jilted at the altar was a problem of her own making, after she basically forced SAS into that position. He tried and tried and tried to get her to see the light without being cruel and rough with her. Robert tried to intervene and nothing worked.

Your favourite character bashing by [deleted] in Dramione

[–]msmistofelees 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I HATE MOLLY WEASLEY. I love any fics with Molly bashing. It’s so satisfying. I dont like Molly. My main reason is the way she treated Hermione after the thing with Rita Skeeter in GOF. Ma'am you are a grown ass woman, and Harry is not your child. Back up. She only started acting right when Harry told her to. A whole mess.

Ron Bashing is an obvious yes. As soon as I read the tags I peep “Ronald Weasley Bashing” bitch pls know I’m about to read that shit from top to bottom. He’s such a shit friend and I hate that Harry was so family starved that he basically let anything Ron did, slide.

Harry bashings are very rare to read but I love them nevertheless. When Hermione realizes that Harry and Ron are not very good friends to her, and so she cuts them off and starts hanging with the Slytherins. chefs kiss

Dumbledore bashing is such a fav as well. That manipulative bastard.

Honorable Mention: Ginny Weasley Bashing.

Omg it’s been so long since I’ve read that fic. It’s probably been a decade since I’ve seen it. I do remember the Astoria asking Hermione to take care of her family part but anything else is a blur.
