The Problem Is People Are Being Hated When They Are Real, And Being Loved When They Are Fake.

a twitter thread that actually killed me

Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin

i know ive talked about this before but i really just do not understand where people get the idea that griffith never cared about the hawks or sacrificed them for personal power. like. its pretty clearly spelled out that he feels extreme guilt over every hawk that dies under his command and that guilt is what the godhand play on to convince him to sacrifice. they show him the bodies of the people who have died following him and his dream and tell him that the only way to not have their sacrifices be in vain is to sacrifice the remaining hawks and achieve his dream. he doesnt sacrifice the remaining hawks because he doesnt care about them or because he wants the power that comes with being a member of the godhand. he does it because if he doesnt, every other death meant nothing. and thats not even getting into guts specifically and how griffith's emotions towards him play into his decision because thats a different can of worms and i already wrote enough here lmao

I don’t like hearing some of Toji’s fans out because some of them just talk about his fanon version. but i love seeing people like this it’s so cute to see someone love their fav like this especially since its Toji i get it i get it

I wanna hear your rant lol Toji enthusiasts let’s be friends 🎀

Yall dont understand i am a Toji defender for LIFE. I could go on for hours about his character, hes SO misunderstood, i love him so much. Literally my comfort character, my favorite character ever, i completely respect anyone who dislikes him for the things hes done but i will not back down from talking about his character and him as a whole every chance i get. My tiktok is Toji centered. My insta is too. I am building a merch collection of him that will undoubtedly take years because of how shitty my job pays. 99% of the edits i make are of Toji and/or Mamaguro, it physically makes my heart hurt when people mischaracterize him so hard or just dont know anything about him (even the obvious things). I love Toji, always will, literally the #1 Toji lover, i will cry of happiness if anyone let me rant about him, i could go on forever. They could never make me hate you Toji 😞

I love dark CSM art with religious symbolism. Especially Makima art, it’s so good. There needs to be more art that depicts her accurately, I hate how over-sexualized she is. Why are ppl so afraid to draw her as the demonic, oversized coat wearing gremlin that she is? She’s a devil.

Fujimoto gives so many parallels between her and the Virgin Mary, come on. I want to see art of her next to those creepy angel statues that are in cemeteries. Need inspiration? Just listen to Machine Girl. I DEMAND she be acknowledged for the eerie, unsettling, sleep paralysis demon that she is‼️

Sorry, I’m sleep deprived and felt like ranting. But seriously, to all CSM artists, ilysm <3

< She really is one of my favorite characters though, I could write a dissertation on her. >
