I started a computer game making class today, and we worked on picking out sprites. I told my mom this after the class and she was like, “Do you have a male sprite?” and I was like, “Of course I do.” And her response was, “Oh, ok. I didn’t know,” and I was dumbstruck, because she sounded so surprised that there were male sprites. So later, I asked her if she knew what sprites were, and it turns out she was thinking about FAIRY sprites while I was talking about VIDEO GAME sprites. We had a good laugh after we figured it out. Pfft. I’m still giggling about it.
you can love villains and anti-heroes and antagonists without justifying their behaviour, You don’t have to make up excuses for the horrible shit they do. It’s totally fine to love these characters as they are, to accept the ugly parts of them- that doesn’t mean that you agree with the choices they make, it just means that you happen to love complex and three dimensional individuals.
