saw people hating on Senor Pink and i just-

i don't really care if people don't like him, whether it just be because of the wrong vibes or they just didn't care much about him

but these people were going on about how his backstory was just 'boo hoo, the consequences of my own actions (ﾉД`)' and they didn't find it 'manly' at all

as if that wasn't the whole POINT!

the whole point of his backstory was that he brought it upon himself, that he didn't truly realise what he had until he lost it, that it's because of him that Gimlet is dead and Russian lost everything before her own death. it is his fault, nobody is denying that

if he had been honest with her, maybe Russian would not have left. maybe they would have been happy together, and maybe he'd have been able to leave Doflamingo. if he was able to put her above his life of piracy, if, if, if

his entire backstory is the consequences of his own actions, which is why i was so pressed about people complaining about it. it's perfectly fine to just not like a character, even if you don't have a reason. but to say the reason is because you believe nobody else understood that his backstory was him facing the fact that he brought his tragedy upon himself is-

it's just not it.

we find him manly and admirable because of what he did after. how he made a fool of himself just to see Russian smile, and continued to dress as a baby even after she was gone, because he truly did love her. he's manly because he's working on himself, not because he speaks tough

again, if you don't like him just 'cause, or you didn't care much about him, or you think his design is weird, (although, why the hell are you still watching One Piece if you think his design is weird?), or you just didn't like him, that's fine. that is your opinion.

but hating him because of what his backstory means? because you think Oda meant to portray him as a victim? he was never a victim, and nobody claimed he was. his tragic backstory was his own doing, and that is the point

This is the only day you can RT this

got a cig in my mouth and i'm drinking like there's no tomorrow

(it's a candy stick and i'm drinking coke)

NO YOU'RE LYING PLEASE

Yeah, I get that, I really do. I'm well aware that it's not truly Lance that I dislike, it's the writers for making his character go down hill. It would be far easier to like him if I knew why he did everything.

If I knew why he was constantly antagonising Keith, if I knew why he was always trying to hit on Allura, if I knew why he was so posessive over Allura.

I can make as many assumptions as I want, but it doesn't matter if there isn't any canonical evidence pointing that way. For example, I can fully accept that he was antagonistic towards Keith at first, due to how he was constantly compared to him during the Garrison. However, that antagonism doesn't make sense after Season 2, especially when he accussed Keith of using Shiro's death to become Black Paladin.

Maybe if he was called out for this, (by the show, not the fans), I wouldn't be so pressed. But, as it stands, it isn't highlighted at all. There is no indication that Lance recognised his mistakes and grew for them.

Again, I am treating him fairly in my rewrite, making sure he has a proper character arc and making him likable for even the antis or people who don't like Lance. It isn't fair to condemn a character for decisions of the writers.

Ugh, I didn't mean to ramble, but yeah. Those are my feelings about him, basically. I can understand some of the stuff he does, but I can't understand others, and that is why I do not like him, (or rather, I don't like how he was written).

Hi!

I know it's an old post but I casually encountered your Lance critical posts and I wanted to say that I couldn't agree more.

It's been like, six years since the last time I watched Voltron and I decided to rewatch it just for funsies and nostalgia sake. Man, Lance was not as funny and charming as I remember him to be! It took me be surprise to be honest.

I guess it was because when I watched Voltron for the first time I was also a teenager but now, that I'm closer in age to Shiro... yeah. He's so unnecessarily mean to Keith when he did nothing to him, that made me feel awful for Keith. :(

Anyway, I really like and agree with your points of view!

Hello!

Yeah, even now, I'm not the biggest fan of Lance. I've said as much in previous posts, but I am still treating him fairly in my rewrite, as his character really only took a turn for the worst season three onwards, and I can do things to prevent that downward spiral.

I was actually quite glad to so many people share my dislike of Lance! It was hard to find posts against Lance, so to see little to no backlash was actually really surprising!

Thanks for the ask/response!

"I'm sorry for everything I've done until now."

For a moment, there was nothing. Nothing but the pitter patter of rain striking the ground, coating his weary body, exhausted beyond belief.

Then.

"No."

Izuku watched as Kacchan's head shot up, his eyes wide with disbelief, as if this was shocking. There were no tears left for him to cry, so he settled for taking steps back.

"Y-You don't get to say that...!" he screamed, hands clutching the sides of his head. "For years, a decade, I-I put up with everything! I just watched as e-everyone kissed your feet, as if you've changed at all!"

"De- Izuku-"

"Shut up!" This wasn't fair, it wasn't! Nothing about it! Why!? "You don't get to call me that!"

Why can't anything ever go right!? For so long, he lied to everyone and to himself, pretending he was fine with Kacchan just getting everything he ever wanted. People loved him, despite his violence, despite that damn name, despite being his bully.

Iida reached out, "M-Midoriya-kun..."

He cast a forlone look towards his friend. At least he tried to talk to him more than fight or capture him. At least someone was trying to reach out to him. But then, why did he agree to let everyone come? Why did nobody think that maybe this would be a bad idea?

Why was nobody mad at Kacchan for hurting him...?

...

Oh.

"You didn't tell them, did you?" The realisation struck, and it struck hard. Kacchan- no, Bakugou's eyes widened. Confusion swept across the rest of 1-A, and Izuku knew he was right. "Go on. Tell them. Tell them what you did to me. Why you're apologising. Tell them." Silence. "Tell them!"

He marched forth, anger keeping him from collapsing.

"Tell them how you beat me black and blue! Tell them how you burnt me for the crime of existing! Tell them your advice! What was it: 'go take a swan dive off a roof and pray for a quirk in your next life'? Tell them!"

"You said what." The temperature clashed. Izuku glanced back, and there Todoroki was, cold steam billowing off one side, smoke from the other.

"No way..." Uraraka gasped, fists clenching. "You... You bastard...!" She threw herself at Bakugou, her fist colliding with his cheek. He fell to the floor, holding his reddening cheek, staring at her with wide eyes, as if it was out-of-nowhere.

Izuku looked down, teeth worrying into his bottom lip.

"Midoriya-kun." A hand clasped around his wrist, and he nearly threw the person over his shoulder. But that was Iida's voice. "... I understand that you wish to not return to U.A. Would you like to eat?"

Abruptly, he was reminded of how he rejected Toshinori. How, when his mentor reached out, he kicked off, running without a single explanation.

"..." This wasn't helping. He's just going to be too exhausted to fight back. "Y-Yeah..."

"Everyone," Iida faced the others, tired though he didn't fight much, if at all. "Please return to U.A. We shall look after Midoriya-kun."

Kaminari bristled, "B-But-!"

"Kaminari-kun." Yaoyorozu held her hand up, arm stretched in front of Kaminari. He paused, then stepped back, head low. She turned to them with a smile, "Of course, Iida-kun. Take care of him for us."

"We will," affirmed Uraraka, as she and Shouto walked to his side.

Safe. Surrounded by three of his friends, he felt safe.

It was enough for him to fall, and it was fine.

His friends were there to catch him.

love how gosho went 'shinichi and kaitou are cousins!'

and the kaishin shippers went 'hmm nah'

...

AS THEY SHOULD

Yeah that makes sense, sorry about the offhand ask. I saw "i miss ao3 being down" and "get wrecked losers" and blacked out without checking other context because I thought it was making fun of people who use AO3 generally.

So sorry for the weirdness, have a great day (or night!).

Nah, no problem. I was just confused mainly.

Have a great day/night too!

Do you uh, not like AO3?

Um. I'm not sure what this is aimed at? Which post did you see? This doesn't exactly give me room to answer. Is it the Voltron stuff or the MHA stuff?

Either way, I love ao3. It's one of the best sites I've ever used, which might be sad, but I don't visit many sites anyway. The tag system is one of the best, the formatting - I don't have many, if any, complaints about the site.

If I were to point out any issue, it wouldn't be with ao3. My issues aren't the fault of anyone. People will write what they want to write. On the same level, people will complain what they want to complain about.

Just because I post about things I don't like, doesn't mean that I hate everything. There are plenty of fics on ao3 that I adore and reread, and I love discovering new fics, whether they're complete, work-in-progresses, or haven't been updated since 2012. Ao3 is my main publishing site. I don't hate it by any margin.

When I complain about stuff, it isn't that I don't want people to write that, it's more of 'I want to see more fics like this'. It has nothing to do with hate.

Seriously, I'm not sure how to respond to this - I'm not sure what this ask is responding to. It's like, I don't like a lot of Netflix shows, but I still like Netflix. I don't like a lot of YouTubers, but I still love YouTube.

Just because I don't like some aspects, that are not the fault of the site, it doesn't mean I hate the overall product.

I mean, I literally have a post bragging about being asleep while ao3 is down, and waking up to see all these panicked posts. Because I miss ao3 going down, therefore I don't get that panic.
