[mhyk anni4 spoilers] I'm here to be neg about a particular kind of fan of a specific pairing THAT I ALSO LIKE. IN CANON. BUT SO OFTEN THE FANS HAVE THIS ENERGY.
nrfa fandom is really just the pure distilled essence of "all I want is soft coffee shop au where nothing happens" fandom and so they strip nrfa of all their disagreements and differences (THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE. IT'S NOT LIKE FIGARO WOULD BE THE FIRST TIME NRFA HAVE EVER HAD A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION) and then shit on Brad/Leno/Figa for Mistreating Them
I'm so sad every day that there's a person who did like full length writeups of interpretations of the characters' arcana assignments but their Bradley Death arcana interpretation is SO uncharitable that it makes me viscerally angry
I went back to look to see if it had been updated in the past three years. it hasn't. but they added a Leno blurb now which ALSO is like "my interpretation of Leno's Wheel of Fortune arcana is SCOLDING HIM for not embodying Wheel of Fortune enough"
I THINK EASTS SHOULD GET TO DO CRIMES MORE OFTEN ACTUALLY. I THINK THEY ARE AT THEIR CUTEST WHEN THEY'RE DOING BAD THINGS (except Shino, who is also cute when doing bad things, but at his cutest when he's distressed and crying)
from what i am gathering through osmosis is that everyone in this series is both kind at times and absolutely unhinged at other times and both things can be true at once
so "nero who is kind" vibes to me as them placing nero on some kindness pedestal over everyone else and he cannot possibly be unkind of his own volition it's those nasty dogs that are ruining him
amazingly Heathcliff fandom DOESN'T sanitize him. I am stunned every time I remember that everyone was excited for yandere Heathcliff arc and no one really determinedly stuck to their guns on Heath being purely an uwu anxious baby who didn't want to do unreasonable things
I know Bradley says with his mouthwords that strength is all that matters but I still think people actually believing that Bradley only values raw strength is one of the stupidest misreadings I've ever laid eyes on
He feels that he has given too much without enough reciprocation, though Bradley views the situation differently. THE ONLY THING NERO HAS EVER TRULY WANTED FROM BRADLEY THAT BRADLEY COULDN'T GIVE HIM WAS "STOP GETTING YOURSELF HALF-KILLED EVERY TEN SECONDS"
and heathshino really doesn't vibe like incest imo ESP COMPARED TO SOME OTHER PEOPLE IN THIS GAME LMAO. I have not read Wuthering Heights but my secondhand impression is that it did vibe like [genuinely fairly apt to rl toxic family situations wherein incest occurs] so
I think "Heathcliff/Catherine trips the incest bad line and Heathcliff/Shino does not" is a perfectly fair stance to take, I just brought up the brother thing because that is probably also an intentionally added reference to WH Heathcliff
He feels that he has given too much without enough reciprocation, though Bradley views the situation differently.THE ONLY THING NERO HAS EVER TRULY WANTED FROM BRADLEY THAT BRADLEY COULDN'T GIVE HIM WAS "STOP GETTING YOURSELF HALF-KILLED EVERY TEN SECONDS"
