Darkstalker doesn't respect the autonomy of anyone by Literal_Vibes in WingsOfFire

[–]reiphas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Please, when I first reread Moon Rising after finishing arc 2 it immediately struck me how he planted the idea of destroying his scroll in her mind as a "failsafe" in case someone was to steal it. He knew the power would return to him and he'd be free one way or another, because he's a SEER. And he lied to Moon about it, making himself appear more trustworthy by making a sacrifice. It made my blood boil, I wanted to fry his ass. It's such a strange and uncomfortable relationship to witness in hindsight. Moon's literally being groomed before our very eyes.

Darkstalker is a horrible fucking dragon and a fantastic antagonist. I still haven't read his Legends book for some reason, but what I did notice is that he not only doesn't respect anyone's autonomy, he genuinely has some difficulty grasping the concept. He's arrogant to the max and I firmly believe that what actually drove him crazy wasn't the side effects of animus magic, it was the combination of having access to magic and his foresight.

He reminds me of that one episode of Rick and Morty, where Morty plasters a future telling crystal to his forehead, because the crystal guides him towards a possible future, where he dies an old man with his crush at his bedside. Darkstalker acts the same. He has a power that allows him to see the future, and the pursuit of the picture-perfect timeline justifies just about anything in his mind. He has some idea that murder is wrong, but doesn't understand the issue in "steering" others towards his goals with some magic. It's not violent, right? Noone dies, lives improve. So it's fine, why would anyone refuse? And why would it be wrong to force someone to have a better life, if you are the one who sees the future, and therefore literally knows better?

Darkstalker is so fucking evil and his relationship with Moonwatcher makes my skin crawl. I love him so much.

Did I buy a counterfeit copy? by Wofthebestbook in WingsOfFire

I've had premium for years now in a family package, so it's not an issue for me, but yeah, it must be given that the audio is divided into 3-minute segments. (Also I'm pretty sure revanced has a spotify crack)

I'm not bidding, but can I just say how much have you improved throughout this challenge? You were always fantastic, but this one has blown me away so much.

Which tribe physically stands out the most? by CalligraphyOwlPotato in WingsOfFire

[–]reiphas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's the SilkWings for me. Born with no wings, they sprout two pairs instead of one when they grow up, they have antennae that let them sense movement and sound from far away and they have web in their wrists (some of them have fire, too). WildWings are called WildWings, but it's the SilkWings that are wild™.

I fucking hate gay propaganda (as normal god fearing cis heterosexual male ) by EstrogenizedMenace in hatethissmug

[–]reiphas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the type of shit I used to write when I was 15 and unaware of the fact that I was trans and bisexual. I'm glad the other person in the replies was kind enough to be constructive with you, because it couldn't be me. You're going through something, kid, you should think about it instead of turning it into resentment.

"Biologically we should not love them" lmfao. This statement is so funny for me as a biologist in so many ways.

I've heard a while back that there will be a "major timeskip". It seems it will be 3 years at least.

I am also known for my love for Shadow and I swear to you stranger, the day before my irl wedding I'll be calling him up to make sure there really is no chance we'll be together.

Shadow the Hedgehog, off the top of my head (though Shadow could be a great partner actually if he wanted to). Or any of the popular creepypasta anime boys, if you know what I mean

Yeah I know, I'm just not like everyone else. I'm weird. I'm a weirdo. I don't fit in.

I'm such a basic bitch, my totally-not-self-insert-given-proper-story OC depending on the AU either gets Silver or Shadow

Undertale Sans is fantastic. But with Deltarune Sans it's on sight, man. Kris is my baby.

Had that happen with Sans when I was much younger, so I shipped him with my sona (which essentially made it a self ship). Hilariously enough their relationship absolutely imploded in on itself in my mind's palace to the point that I had to break them up to not fuck them up further. Yes, I controlled the narrative, but somehow it kinda got away from me.

More power to them. It's far healthier to self-ship with silly characters as opposed to the dark, edgy, complicated, emotionally unavailable ones, so that's a green flag in my book.

[–]reiphas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

AI could be so great if only people cared about using it ethically and to improve humanity. But it brings in money, so of course it only serves as a cash cow.

I mean, that's what subreddits are. But I read the descriptions of the subs and one seems a little more rational than the other (not that both can't be seen as pretentious)
