Something something the parallels between Vi being trapped under rubble as Vander dies brutally mutated before her, Ellie being physically restrained as Joel is beaten to death.
The ultimate doomed father-daughter relationships, the mirror images, and grief channeled as rage and physical violence that will be their ultimate undoing.
You know, y'all can make your own interpretations of greek gods without tagging them as Lore Olympus Redesigns. Better yet, you can write your own goddamn adaptation and not see it as a failure of Smythe to not have captured your meow meows the way you see them.
Also don't think I haven't noticed how a lot of you like to slim down the characters or give them thin anime faces in your "redesigns." Pathetic.
ANTISEMITISM PSA!
Voltaire never said this! It was first said by an American neo-Nazi in 1993, and is explicitly about Jews and how you're "not allowed" to question the Holocaust.
I understand a lot of people don't know this. I don't think you're a Nazi just because you quote it, because Nazis LOVE to misattribute it to Voltaire and spread it around.
If you post this quote in discussions about Israel, you're 100% being antisemitic, because you're buying into "Jews are wealthy through illicit means and run the world behind the scenes" conspiracy theories from the FUCKING MIDDLE AGES. And also has that spicy hint of Holocaust denial still clinging to it.
You're allowed to criticize Israel. Please do. Please do it without literally quoting Nazis.

white queers are always so damned certain that "true" queerness is for them & them alone. expressions of queerness from Black people (most notably, Black women & those percieved as women) that don't center whiteness & aren't tailored for white audiences are always, always pegged as being unbelievable. all this plus a heaping dose of thay classic "all bi women are dirty attention seeking liars" brand of biphobia. fuck off man

“why does this character who has done terrible things deserve a happy ending, how can you be okay with that, why do they deserve anything nice”
well see it’s because the entire concept of what people “deserve” is a messy ethical quagmire that has really troubling implications no matter how you use it
but also it’s because i like fictional miserable little assholes and i do what i want
