can people like- step off Ranma in 1/2 for maybe two seconds, oh my stars😭 -> and this is post is exclusively 1/2 bc haven't seen the manga or og

i just binged all the available episodes and the amount of times he gets blamed for literally defending himself is insane. not even mentioning all the times he gets groped on AND THEN BLAMED FOR IT

he definitely deserves some of what he gets, but a lot [if not most] of his heckling and retorts and physical lash out are reactionary. Ranma was perfectly well behaved and nice and pretty sweet before Akane walked in on HIM ↑ and i get Akane's reaction to finding a man in her bathroom, i definitely get it, but even after everything was explained and even after they became ~tentative~ friends Akane still treats him like some grandiose pervert

he tried to make Ryouga feel better about their duel by buying him all the snacks he 'stole' AND protected his secret from Akane without asking for anything in return. they're rivals, but at least they have mutual respect for each other ↑ i really like their relationship actually, because it feels real compared to Ranma's relationship with the other characters. neither of them have to really pretend with the other

now to the part that REALLY icks me out. people blaming Ranma when HE gets groped or attacked -> Ryouga's bandana cut Akane's hair but Ranma got blamed for it bc he snapped at her [for putting herself in danger] -> Kodachi paralyzed him and kissed him and he got snapped at -> Mikado took advantage of the fact that Ranma couldn't skate to kiss her, which she ran away crying from, and no one asked if she was okay -> Shampoo attacked him, he defended himself, got kissed without permission again, gets his disinterest brushed to the side, and then blamed when she keeps coming onto him and this isn't even all of it!

it feels like every time someone comes on to Ranma, he gets blamed for it instead of them getting told to back off. like- it's so obvious he's very shy with his affection, and he does not like people taking that choice from him [which he voices, very vocally, when Mikado is trying to kiss Akane for the firs time]

like... what? is it because he's a guy sometimes? it pisses me off

i haven’t met Malia yet in Teen Wolf, but i have gotten a few spoilers from different posts [entirely my fault, and i don’t regret it] so i feel like i’m not entirely inaccurate for saying that if they had just said:

“Malia, we don’t leave people behind! Especially our friends”

“Why not!?”

“Because it would make Stiles sad!”

it would’ve completely worked on her

[falling-star-cygnus]

the day i stop yapping about this is the day i’ve moved on from Teen Wolf

Scott literally refused to apologize to HIS ANCHOR bc he wouldn’t just be apologizing for a maybe rude rebuttal to the girl he likes but he would be apologizing for defending his best friend

and he couldn’t do that to Stiles

[falling-star-cygnus]

do y'all ever think about the fact that Stiles probably had to teach Derek how to flirt in s2 so that they could save Isaac

like- "Dead silence, that should work beautifully. Anything else?" "....thinking about punching you in the face :)" *insert the 'offended by the Hales' Stiles face'*

at the very least he had to run Derek through the basics of flattery right?? especially considering that he knows all the officers on a personal level

[falling-star-cygnus]

so, i've finally made it to s3 ep8 of Teen Wolf and holy shit?? -> the parallels with s2 ep3 and s2 ep12 are insane

not only does this cement, for my first time watcher eyes, that Peter has ALWAYS been a conniving asshole but it also somehow further indirectly ties Stiles 'n Lydia to the Hales and by proxy to the supernatural

to explain- in the scene were Peter first plants the idea of turning Paige in Derek's head- he plucks a Reese's off Derek's tray and says "perfect combinations are rare in an imperfect world" before taking a bite and when Paige is dying, and reveals she knew that Derek was something supernatural, Derek asks 'and you still liked me?' to which Paige responds with: 'i loved you'

in s2 ep3: Stiles also says something about 'perfect combinations' but instead of taking the Reese's for himself, he offers it to Lydia. Because unlike with Peter, Stiles isn't trying to trick or manipulate her

in s2 ep12: When Jackson is dying and still somewhat scaly, he asks Lydia if she still loves him; to which Lydia responds with something along the lines of 'i do, of course, i never stopped'

anyway, i just thought all of that was a really cool callback to s2

do you guys think the Cloud Knights ever tell Yanqing to go ask Jing Yuan when they want something

like-

Random Cloud Knight: psssst, hey- pssst! hey, Lieutenant Yanqing! Yanqing: Hm? Random Cloud Knight: Can you go ask the General for x and x? Yanqing, reluctantly nodding: Uhm... I guess, I can.. but- why? Random Cloud Knight: What do you mean? Yanqing: Why can't you ask him yourselves...? Random Cloud Knight: Oh- because he'll definitely listen if you ask him! er- sir.

why is this event reading Dan Heng to filth 😭 -> give him a break for ONE patch, pretty please

[falling-star-cygnus]

absolutely nothing fills me with more righteous anger than being ignored in art critiques

like- i don't care if you call whatever i made literal garbage and that you hope i never pick up a pencil again, literally just say something because that is the whole reason i'm up here. if you cannot grasp the basic principles of constructive criticism and it's importance WHY ARE YOU HERE

but no, crickets and dead silence until my friend takes pity on me and says she likes the colors. -> and then the next person goes up and suddenly everyone is clamoring to put their two cents in

and this is how our grading works btw, we literally have to say something about the each person's work to get decent participation points.

Cunning Hares Pokémon AU -> bc it was a long time coming with me i fear

Nicole Demara: -> Shiny!Lopunny -> Shiny!Gimmighoul -> Shiny!Gardevoir Nicole is defiinitely a shiny magnet, but it's mostly because she snagged a Shiny Charm off some bigwig as a gift for Amillion to keep him more secured to her belt loop [or wherever it is he hangs from] ↑ Ralts was her starter, but she found Buneary shortly before the formation of the Cunning Hares

Anby Demara: -> Buneary -> Bisharp -> Morpeko Anby only has three pokemon because Nicole only has three pokemon- and yes, Buneary was a gift from Nicole. ↑ Pawniard was her starter, and it's seldom ever in it's pokeball. Anby hates having her 'mon in their pokeballs.

Nekomiya Mana: -> Nickit Nekomata didn't actually catch Nickit, it just imprinted on her after hatching and she can't get it to go away ↑ And she tried. She tried very hard to get Nickit into a loving home. But it just kept. finding. her. Anby gives Nekomata a pokeball after she joins the Cunning Hares

now.... the one you've undoubtedly been waiting for....

Billy Kid: -> He's an altered version of Magearna [for war instead of caretaking] however, the same virus that Deoxys came from also gave him freewill and sentience -> Billy knows, essentially, that he's a pokemon at his core buuut that doesn't stop him from taking a liking to a shiny!Aggron ↑ He originally comes across it during his time with the Sons but he didn't catch it bc of the whole... biologic situation. He didn't feel right catching the little Aron so he leaves it where he found it. Of course... it finds him as a Hare and keeps showing up, until Nicole convinces him to catch it

s1!Stiles: "-dragging me down to your nerd depths. i'm a nerd by association. i've been scarlet-nerded by you."

he says, after having rattled off wolf statistics from the top of his head

[falling-star-cygnus]

whenever i'm feeling particularly bored i always seem to suddenly remember that Toothless was so fucking tiny that he could perch on Hiccup's shoulder in the first HTTYD book and he had three times the dramatic sass and it always makes me giggle

movie!Toothless, already large enough to ride: *angry snuffling n grunting n general growling* book!Toothless, filing his nails: oh no.... my food provider got eaten.... oh no... guess i have to save him.. maybe... not bc i care or anything tho.... oh no..

constantly oscillating between wanting to jingle like a light wind chime or porcelain when i move and wanting to be completely imperceptible if you’re not looking

NOT ME WINNING MY 50/50 at 30 PITY HELLO!?

I WAS BURNING TICKETS AT 2AM

[falling-star-cygnus]

it's kinda funny to think about the fact that Derek saw three cardigan wearing nerdy teenagers and said, "ah yes, i know what these three need."

and put them in leather outfits.

the ol' "buy one werewolf bite, get a style change for free!" conversion sales pitch, eh Derek?

genuinely don't think there's anything more humbling then trying to learn how to do digital art

i respect digital artists SO MUCH, i have for years, it's so impressive -> i'm saying this as a traditional artist trying to learn

tips would be appreciated 😓

lowkey love that one scene in S2, Party Guessed, where it's revealed that Scott's relationship with Lydia [at least in that season] is just- "give me a reason."

he was READY to defend Stiles, against Allison -> and yeah, maybe it was the full moon, but Allison was his anchor at the time and he downright refused to apologize to her bc it would mean somewhat taking back his defense of his best friend

"-bc we've completed ignored her the past two weeks." "She's- completely ignored Stiles the past ten years 🤨" "....I prefer to think of it as me not having been on her ~radar~.. yet?" "We don't owe her a party."

i may not have liked him much in s1, but he showed UP for Stiles in s2- at least in the ending quarter.
