(Serious answers pls, I am deeply curious.)

Honestly, I feel like he's not that irredeemable if we got a backstory. Dare I say...I feel like he was slightly underused? I haven't watched MLP in AWHILE, so correct me if I'm wrong! What if it's kinda like that situation in a tale of one shadow and he got corrupted lol I feel like if his backstory was similar to that (If we're ignoring the comics) he wouldn't be irredeemable. Honestly, since we don't have a canonical backstory for Sombra that I remember of, it's up to interpretation.

And no I am totally not biased because he was a childhood crush.

And, guys, this isn't a post of whether or not he can be redeemed, it's purely a hypothetical IF he got redeemed, how would YOU write it? I KNOW he's practically irredeemable. I never said he needed to be redeemed. I never said he 'deserves' to be redeemed. But please don't waste your time commenting "We wouldn't" or "We don't need him redeemed" or "He's not redeemable" when that's...not the point of this post lol and you can't speak for everyone. That and I feel like if Hasbro WANTED to, they would redeem him to make him a good guy. They've redeemed villains before.

I know he'd never get redeemed in terms of the show. But run me through a HYPOTHETICAL. If you were a writer in charge of Sombra's redemption arc, how would you write it? What would you change? Add? Take away? You can change whatever or have whatever kind of story. And you can reference the comics too, I don't mind. I just wanna see how others would write it.

As for the reason of this post? I'm a writer currently working on an AU and want to make Sombra a bit less...inhumane. A bit more redeemable. Not make him a good guy or take away how he's a villain. But a bit more morally grey after coming back (Yes, Sombra LIIIVES in my AU)

Seriously, it's PMO. I have my headset PLUGGED IN, Controller is ON, VC is CONNECTED, it SAYS it's connected. But it is NOT working. It is refusing to let me talk. My friends can't hear me. Nothing has changed and it's suddenly just not working. It worked fine before. I tried restarting and literally everything. Anyone else having this? How did you solve it?

TLDR I guess, but read the full thing - I am refusing to babysit the family dog after he bit me

I, 18NB (Male prn pref.) have not really gotten too along with our husky, Snowball. Don't get me wrong, he's sweet, funny, and by all means, a good dog. I am just wayyy more of a snake, rodent, and cat person. My parents, however, LOVE him ever since we got him when he was around 3 or 4 I think. He's now 9. I don't mind, I'm very happy for them since my mom's always wanted a husky, and my stepdad had a husky when he was younger. My sister, when she lived with us, adored Snowball. They asked us what pet we wanted. I said cat. She voted dog. I got outvoted. But Snowball is FINE. I don't hate having him around (You can actually seem some funny videos of him on my profile if you wish!)

The only problem is...they love him so much they refuse to really discipline him. He bites? They don't care. Unless it's them of course. When he pooped in the house when we first got him? Cleaned up. He USED to have a kennel, but it's never ever used. To be honest mostly I avoid Snowball. My parents are the type of people that treat Snowball as their miracle baby, with the "He can do no wrong" behavior.

This is where I may be wrong, but I do the BARE minimum for the dog. Don't get me wrong, I won't ever let him go hungry or thirsty, if he needs to go out, I'll take him out, but that's pretty much it. I know dogs are social animals, but it's SO hard to be around him when my parents aren't at work. He becomes especially clingy, literally sits on top of me, barks in my face, tries to pull me with his paws. I know some people might find this cute, but I can't stand it. I try not to yell so that's why after I take him out, I just got upstairs in my room.

Today, I was pretty much at my limit. I was bringing Snowball in, and if you know huskies, you know they don't agree with being inside when they love being outside. I was bringing him in, and he started biting my hand and refusing to go inside. Like teeth in the knuckles. Not enough to make me bleed, but enough that I cried out and told him to stop. Then I let him go (We have a leash that is in the ground) back outside and noticed the red marks and knew it was gonna bruise tomorrow. By then, I was mostly just frustrated. This kind of thing has happened before. If he barks at me for standing too close to my mom? I get "Oh he's just like this at night" or if he bites me "You're standing to close to him" or any other excuse along those lines. I was tired of it.

Now again, I may be wrong here, but I was extremely angry. I texted my mom a picture of the bite mark and said "I'm done babysitting this fucking dog when everytime I try to bring him inside he fucking bites like he's feral and leaves marks. I'm not taking him out anymore, he can wait another hour until *insert stepdad's name* gets home" my mom texted back "I dealt with it this morning, he's like this with everyone" and I got a bit pissed off and texted back "I'm tired of you two brushing off his behavior saying he's just protective and no one gives a fuck when he bites me. I don't care, I'm done babysitting. He was fine when you two were at work and I was at school, he can wait til *Insert stepdad's name* gets home. You two always brush it off because he's your baby." and she said she'd deal with it when she gets home.

I'm serious. I have no intention of taking Snowball out anymore. Fill his bowls up? Sure. But I'm not gonna take him outside when he acts all feral when I take him back inside. I get no thanks, no payment (Not that I even need it or want it) or any bit of gratitude for taking care of a dog I never wanted. I'm sick of people acting like he's a damn saint. So until Snowball is trained or I get an apology or something, I'm done babysitting an 8 year old dog who acts like a puppy. As I said, when everyone was gone during the day when I was still in school, he was fine. But now I'm out of school I suddenly need to babysit.

So AITJ?

And before anyone says "You're 18, move out" it hasn't been that long since I turned 18, it's not that easy to just move out so quick and get a job.

ETA - Guys, stop acting like Snowball is feral or I need to fear for my life. He's NICE most of the time. It's just incidents like these that piss me off and as one person mentioned, Dogs use their mouths as hands and he was pulling me to get his way. Even after he bit me he seemed really sorry. I was mad and still am, but stop acting as if he's a feral rabid wolf.
