Hello there, I have many interests and try to tag everything. More info on tags and such can be found using one of the above links. I love Transformers, cars, animals and really just a lot of things- best to use that link.
Mainly checked to make sure I could still get into this account but depending on how things go I may come back here but idk but seeing some of you guys made me :)
the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible
because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person
from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating
it’s fucked up.
What is the most important step a man can take?
The next.
I think part of the pushback about this is the idea that, to “redeem” bad people, their victims must first forgive them for unforgivable acts.
This is false. No one is obligated to forgive you. You can learn from your mistakes and become the best, kindest person on earth, and the
people you’ve hurt still won’t forgive you, and you’ll have to accept that. And that doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to grow. Because we aren’t just “pure” or “sinful”, we’re complex.
overwatch fans: *write hanzo as a shy virgin who only drinks tea and has a strict sense of right and wrong in fics*
me, thinking about how hanzo is a 38 year old man who used to be the leader of one of the largest crime syndicates in japan and also attempted (nearly succeeded) to murder his brother:
The Shape of Water is a breathless film, anchored by Hawkins’ visible, ardent longing for connection, and her fierce defiance when the things she loves are threatened.
