even if i didnt love botw as much as i do, totk drives me nuts bc, similarly to pokemon, this series is so SO SO full of potential, they have so many games they can pull from, theres so many themes, characters and worldbuilding thats just left to rot, you dont need to connect anything with a chain to old titles, you dont need to bring back any things that already had their ending, but PLEASE harness at least a fraction of all this!!!! and they just refuse to do it beyond shallow references
totk jsut drives it all home to me, bc this isnt just the next game in the franchise, but a DIRECT SEQUEL no 10 years apart from botw, yet they cant even, they REFUSE to even keep the continuity with its OWN lore it established in botw together, and that, i think, is what truly makes me so insane (derogatory) about totk
it PROVES they do not care, they dont care to build on anything of the lore of old titles beyond references in form of amiibos or whatever, they dont even care to make a sequel to their most successful game in the franchise coherent with its own lore
botw established a captivating detailed world full of potential, while lacking in active storytelling, it had environmental storytelling, characters and ideas that were the perfect ground to build on-
and then they do away with it bc idk .. they want you to build mechs and make videos of it that go viral and thats all they care about or something
shiekah tech? forget that existed character being the character you know? act as if you are seeing them for the first time just like they are lame story? dont think about that just be distracted by the epic presentation of it lore the previous title established? forget that, all that matters is what is here and now beloved character from old games beign brought back? hes a new guy and has no background and no lore and just sits waiting for you at the end to have a flashy fight with references from old titles and their lore? just here for nostalgie bait, dont you remember? you LOVE this series, now give me 70 bucks for a glorified DLC that ruins what you loved about the series and makes you realize that nothign matters and nothing is interesting anymore
you are supposed to take it all at face value, to not think about anything, to see a character say something and just go with it, and forget it the second its over, be distracted by good music and pretty visuals, but dont think about, dont think about anything but what is directly said to you like you have no critical thinking skills, forget there was a game before this one, only the one you play matters, empty your skull and dont let yourself feel anything but what the game tells you to feel
if they dont even care to make the sequel to their most successful game actually build on the previous title, dont even care to keep their continuity of two games supposedly directly happening one after the other in tact- maybe they never cared, and all the meaning we thought we saw them build into their games was all accidental and meaningless
and that is absolutely soul crushing for fans like me to discover
its a game. its not a story, its not a world, its not themes, its not characters, its not lore. its a product made to make you pay money, not to make you think about anything.
#ganondoodles talks#zelda#ganondoodles rants#i know it sounds silly to say this game makes me mad bc its so clearly a game#but do you get what i mean??#and the worst part is#they dont even keep the lore said in the SAME GAME in line#the people in hateno where links HOUSE used to be that is now ZELDAS not remembering him#the children acting like they dont know him#where has link been?#did zelda put him into the forest and just let him live with the boars?#even so the house is here so link must have been here to buy it-#but no forget that#its somethign that happened in botw and that never actually happened or mattered remember?#to have balloons and rocktes and people with WINGS in this world but none of them going up to the sky islands everyone is obsessed about`?#well its for YOU to play around with with meaningless rewards not for the NPCs living in this world#the godly goat guy and the hylian priestress directly saying zelda is their distant descendant to her and then#not show nor say not even hint at them having any offspring and then both die a stupid meaningless death to try and make you feel something#“doing the dragon transformation robs you of your soul forever and you will never return”#*returns via deus ex machina without even letting the player take any part in it but by -getting to the end tm-*#also i HATE how totk constantly dangles set ups in front of you#only to NOT follow up on them#the intro giving you a taste of what you might expect for- NOPE zelda is gone immediately its jsut botw but worse again lol#zelda getting the hang of her time powers so she might return to her time on her ow- NOPE dragon lol her powers are irrelevant actually#impa being the only one you can tell about zelda being a dragon and her going oh no im gonna search for a way to bring her back- LOL NOPE#its solves itself and you dont even do anything for it and just watch a cutscene#oh no link lost his arm and its beyond repair- LOL NOPE have your arm back like it was freshly made no matter how few of the light things-#you actually got- the things that where supposedly to battle back the thing destroying your arm#also howt he game gives you endless busy work without any good reward#krogs - mayoi signa - poes - scematics - lightroots - sign guy

LOL
not to rant about it further. cuz this is pointless bc lol itds not even what he did. but im still seeing ppl so angry at it cuz "SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RIVERRRRR" and again its not just the fact its so cheap and overdone, but... like agan. in the firstplace, i do not like it when a companion is meant to be some special little enigma. so many reasons why thats fucking annoying. but like the fact that theyre a special little enigma becAUSE they MIGHT BE the CHILD of ... another character we already know! like its everything i find most irritating fucking coalescing. like i fucking hate the implications it has just in general that theres some sort of birthright and that blood and relation is what makes someone special. i dont ufcking get it. and its like i feel like the new character, whoever they are, just end up livingin their other familial relation's shadow. like theyre always the daughter of x or the sister of y or fuckin whatever. and yes you can break out of that mould you can. but when, like, the entire MYSTERY OF YOU and who you are is like OOOOOHHH LOOKY LOOK, AN OLD FAN FAVOURITE POPPED ONE OUT ... like Ok. and its like. everyones likie "BUT THERE WAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL" - LIKE, TO DO WHAT? CUZ EVEN IF YOU DONT MIND ALL THAT STUFF... THIS IS LITERALLY SO OVERDONE. ITS SO FUCKING BORING. ARE YOU NOT SICK OF IT. DO YOU NOT WANT A SHOW TO LOOK TOWARDS THE FUTURE. DO YOU NOT WANT A MYSTERY THAT'S MORE THAN A BIG "LETS SEE WHICH OF OUR FAVOURITE TOY THIS IS!! xD"
AND ITS LIKE. IM ABSOLUTELY NOT GOING TO PRETEND RTD DID A GOOD FUCKING JOB OF EXECUTION. I ABSOLUTELY SHANT. i dont think he should have even faked out with it. but i am absolutely relieved thatshes just a normal woman even if it just falls flat. and that the whole POINT is shes normalbut we fucking hype shit up to deaht when its literally not that or anyhting like that. god. anwyays.
oh and. AND NOT TO MENTION. FULLY RESPECT IT COULD GO DIFFERENTLY THIS TIME. BUT LIKE... WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE REVEAL. IF IT WAS RIVER, OR 13, OR WHO KNOWS WHO WHAT HAPPENS THEN. THIS IS WHAT I FUCKING LOATHE ABOUT S6. I FUCKING HATE AMY SO BADLY BUT ALSO JSUT... moffats whole take on her being pregnant and horribly violated (i wouldgenuinely. think this akin to something like rape because god knows WHAT they did to her body) whilst she was unconscious for months for a shock horror woohoo! she's pregnant and wow! shock again! it's river! when like once the payoff was said and done its like... never really mentioned or reflected on at all aside from silly jokes. like haha hi mummmmm. like we see rory and amys relationship break down for an episode cuz she cant have kids any more. fantastic. but like theyjust had a whole fucking child that ... JESUS CHRIST. and i jsut have to fucking sit there and wonder what was all that mysteryt even for what did you fucking do with it in the end. you dragged it on and on for a reveal and bang now what. cuz look im not saying season long mysteries have to have any sort of impact. and this is what happens with MOST doctor who mysteries- hell its what happened here. but once youre bringing in crzy dynamics with that amongst characters......are you not gonna sAYYYY ANYTHING. HELLO? HELP ME? LIKE . I JSUT DONT THINK DOCTOR WHO CAN DO IT JUSTICE, SORRY. I DONT THINK IT CAN. ESPECIALLY NOT WITH THE CURRENT WAY ITS HANDLING THINGS. AND I LOVE THE SHOW, I DO. but like 8 episodes long with scant development and lots of ... really superficial relationships and dynamics right now.... which is such a shame because the cast has chemistry but its barely COOKED ENOUGH to handle even THAT nevermind whatever heavt shit people supposedly wanna bring in
like i feel like when ppl beg for twists in tv shows they dont sdit there and think they just want the biggest craziest twist ever. why dont we all wake up and its just a dream. stfu

teleports to your immediate location, putting my hand against the wall next to you. I saw your post about oc relationship dynamics :3
uhm. ok. this is probably going to be a bit of a long-ass list. and probably largely modp related bcs im. normal. about them.
2 and 18 for lyric and ink
9 for lyric and matthew
20 for the umbrella quad
amd uhm. for some non mopd ones
8 for angel and issac
15 for mangrove and calie
yeehaw 🤠
HHIHIHII NOVA THANK YOY YO ARE . AMAZING
2. How long have these two characters known each other?
im not to sure of the exact time, but its been a good strong while. Definately longer than lim & jess have been in the rooms, but after she joined the m.e.g. around the early days of being in the m.e.g, witch was a While ago lmao
so, like. its a strong foundation.
18. Do they view their relationship as temporary or permanent?
ooh. ooh this ones hard. ink, i think, would like to view it as permernant, but they dont. theyre waiting for a tragic end, waiting for it to fall apart, waiting for lyric to leave them.
lyric views it as permerant, but hasnt really relaised that. she thinks shed be fine with leaving ink [shes always been good at leaving things behind]. she dosent understand why she cant think about it for to long without feeling sick.
lyric isnt going to be the one to leave.
9. What is one quality they have in common?
OHOHOHO BOY :) THIS IS A GOOD ONE. lyric would hate this question. btw.
one thing thats shared between them is their ability to be chill exept about around three things.
for lyric, she gets furiously mad about matheww, and really protextive of ink .one started bacause of the other, but if you remkved one from the equasion the other woukd still exist .shes also really, really, really obsessibely passionate about music
matthew is actually largely calm and easygoing when not being obsessively loyal to the m.e.g, or ansolutely furious about the continued existance if anuthing nonhuman. most people dont even know about how he gets about thise things and think lyrics exagerating.
20. What is their best memory together?
.ooh thjs is a tricky one! .hmm .they probably have quite a few good ones but the best one i think woild probably finding the umbrellas .cause that was the moment where they kinda cemeted as a group, yk?
.it was also the first like .truly positve moment they all shared .so yeah .not the happiest overall maybe but a very important memory that was positive. pronably the first thing that comes up when they think happy memory for them too :]
8. How do they communicate with each other? Are there any recurring phrases or gestures unique to their relationship?
.angel and issac have progressed to the stage of friendship where basically everything they say sounds uttery incomprihensible to everyone else. so many inside jokes and weird little movements that completely recontextualise things.
angel also jsut voes completely mask off around issac when talking so you get conversations where angel outwardly says basically Nothing but issac is just so used to reading her that half of their converaation is based around nonberbal stuff noone else can really pick up on.
so yeah theyre Normal <3
15. Do they trust each other? Why or why not?
ooh this is a really interesting one! i think not Yet. for very different reasons.
mangrove has been so, so hurt because of trust in the past. theyres still feeling tje effects of that. calie is interesting to them, and theyre willing to help out from time to time, but like. theres no trust theh wont end up with another knife digging into them
theyre also just. in a Massively fragile state. ots hard to place your trust into someone when youre still trying to figure out who you Are.
calie is scared of mangrove. not cause of their apperance [witch. they still think Isnt Real], but cause of the way mangrove acts. theyre not a familiar prescence and calie dosent trust someone who they cant read at All.
callie also dosent trust themself. and its really, really hard to trust other people when you cant even tell whats real and what isnt.
THANM YOUU THJS WAS REALLY FUN :DDD <33

um. wow i did not know how much ableism ii had in it! i mean i did but it didnt really.. register i really wish theyd do more with bomb. he was played off as a joke for the entirety of season one but now they act like theres nothing to him but that joke, like they cant even have him focused on in season 2 because of his speech impediment (and even if they did, im not really sure i wanna see through the stupid "betrayal" thing with oj. bomb was right but i just know theyll make HIM apologize instead of oj. i just got this baaddd feelin') soap, i love soap, but they really.. didnt do good with handling the germophobe thing, did they? i mean it wasnt outrageously horrible bad track record with portraying plurality, too. yinyang sucked for most of season 2, again played off for a joke. im glad s3 gave them some actual character besides just being the good-and-evil-alters trope. not much, mind you, but still. i kind of wish they hadnt have killed off evil paper, but knowing them its probably not go anywhere good. like idk you could have paper learn to live with plurality and have "evil paper" be more than just.. evil paper? since yknow, itd make sense sense wasnt there a response to a question that said evil paper liked checkers. so like. different interests and skills. theres so many missed opportunitys omggggaa oh! that reminds me, lightbulb. i dont really like her? like, i feel like i should, right? but i dont. shes annoying and stuff and not even the genuine annoying that feels like a friends like jsut empty annoying. trans rep atleast..?? they really go either all in or skip over it completely dont they. like bot and paintbrush had a full thing about it. im so conflicted on fan. hes lovable and relatable in the later sections but ourrrgh is he not good early. infuriating. it feels bad when the only genuinely (as in most relatable 2 me not most genuine/good faith.) autistic rep kind of.. sucks? i dunno. i like apple but again played off for a joke. dyslexia (? i think? i.. cant remember the definition. lmao) rep is neat but its always used as a joke instead of anything else? its sad to me. similar thing to bomb, tissues feels like hes constantly played as a joke where they cant really include him in anything. its sad ?? like i mildly dislike tissues but come on. its sad to be nothing but a joke, dont you think? it feels like they try to do repersentation then fail miserably and play it all off as a joke. or try to do a joke then fail miserably and play it off as repersentation. either way the result is the same, shallow repersentation. i think the only okay repersentation theyve done is with suitcase? i dunno. its not played as a joke to my knowledge so its a step up from everybody else
i could ramble on more about yinyang and paper (and candle too maybe?) and the tons of missed opportunities surrounding the whole thingss, since im autistic about plurality i think its really neat. and on abt everybody elses missed opportunities and joke treatment too, but i think thats good enough for now.
also i agree with whoever the flip anon, ur kinda immature but thats fine ur blog ur wordchoice. have fun with it

In each story? What character that isn't a LI would you choose to have a story? A proper 10 Season like Havenfall.
OOOOOO OKAY omg this is such a good question okay:
Astoria: Chimera Prime (im so in lvoe with her okay she’s perfect) OR Persephone, they both would have made great LIs. IM EDITTING THIS TO ADD IN NEMEAN AND MEGARA AND ERYN AND SCYLLA AND CHARYBDIS 
Sweet Enchantments: ELYSCIA!?!?!? MY WOLF BIRD WIFE!!!!!!! Or Marik because i did fall in love with himwhen I played zain’s route
Villainous Nights: ohm Zeke, no question. I know he got a short special but he deserves a whole goddamned route!!!!!
Gangsters in Love: Callie White!!! she was a major douche bag but damn if i didnt love her anyways
Love & Legends: IHMON!!! Ihmon is perfect and i love them so much
Wicked Lawless Love: fiona OR the bartender lady whose name i cant remember right now
Reigning Passions: RUELLE OR PIAMA OR NISSE OR ROSIE OR GALEN OR QUINCE?!??!? HONESTLY RP HAS SO MANY AMAZING SIDE CHARACTERS I WANT ROUTES FOR ALL OF THEM
Sin With Me: i know she’s an actual literal bear but rippley :’’’’’’’) sometimes her being a bear is described as a curse that can be broken (other times its that she died and reincarnated into the bear) and i want mc to Break! That! Curse!
Havenfall: no doubt about it i want a mothman route so freaking back, they’re perfect. Or a Lilliane route, that’d be really really good too!!! OR A ROSHNI ROUTE………
those r all the routes ive played enough into that i can answer this ask, but in Starship Promise i would absolutely love a Jessa route bc her short story was wonderful efrgttrfgr (so was nav’s actually, he was really interesting and i wouldnt mind a full route with him either)

Hello!! i just saw your answers :') sorry it took some time!
aaaa i keep hearing lots of good stuff about Lamento but I'd have to find somewhere to download it tho I'm bad at installing games like that ,_, i did it for re:connect and it was a pain and took forever to figure out lol
i haven't played slow damage either! but i heard about the english release which is nice 👀
i only played TnC, sweet pool and dmmd .. it's funny because i never heard of any of those games before the beginning of this year :') i also prefer Sweet pool to TnC , just the whole general vibe i don't really know how to explain why tho x)
while i do love Tetsuo, Youji is alright too but for unknow reasons Zenya has stolen my heart :"))) and it's funny because i was expecting Makoto to be maybe the only "sweet" ending or something LOL it ended up being the most unhinged lmao i would have liked more than 1 ending option with Zenya and Makoto too ~
as for TnC Nano is my absolute favorite! i was also suprised with Motomi when i did his route i really fell in love with it too
currently listening to the sweet pool OST on repeat :')
rambled a lil so putting my answer under the cut!
OH HI HI HIIIII dony even worry abt it! man lamento is a pain to download i could only figure it out after looking at a youtube tutorial u have to dl all this extra stuff for it too its 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 but it was worth it for me!!! such a beautiful game, tho its so long.
WERE STILL WAITING FOR THAT ENGLISH TRANSLATION LMAOOOOO IM DYING OVERNEHRE I CANT DO THIS ANYMROE I WANNA PLAY OT SO BAD!!!;÷^#^@^$^#&
hehe i only got to know abt the other chiral games late in last year...b4 that i only knew dmmd 😭 tho im glad i found out its been keepint me going since then nsbfdbsb
oh same same same i cant rly explain what i love so much abt sweet pools overall setting and atmosphere its so quiet and kinda peaceful but also a lil ominous? it always feels like smth bad is goinf to happen, which it does. i guess...but yeah theres always that feeling of "something is happening" in the air even in ordinary scenes, and it feels kinda nostalgic..the setting..idk. i love the lgihting and stuff in it too and the muted colours hmm yes.
ill be honest i didnt like tetsuo for a rlyyy long time. i still feel he has a bit of a cardboard box personality but he has his moments, and i dont hate him or anything..youji is very close 2 me tho im very fond of him.hes liek a friend to me, idk why tho..and same!!!! zenya is ky fav char i liked him from his first appearance!!&$^@ he seemed like such an entertaining n interesting personality?#,%,# and thd mroe i got to know abt him the more itneresting hsi char got..
ik zenya has done many bad things and it disgusted me also, but overall i still thought he was pretty well written n hes definitelyyy my favourite chsr hes jsut so interestimg i could write a whole analysis on him i think..i should..tho i never want zenya n youji to interact they should be kept entire cities apart imo in fact zenya himself should jsut move away farrr away drom his dad and all thid bs i think.
plsss there r no sweet endings in sweet pool 😭😭😭😭 tho just for my own happiness i like to imagien a universe where youji n makoto actually get to rebuild their relationship post hospital scene, anf they all hang out like they had planned...CRIES....
hmm abt tnc id say rin is my fav i loveeee his personality his design (NOT HIS POST TIME SKIP DESIGN THAT OUTFIT IS UGLYYYY) !! i liked nano in routes that werent his, but his route left such a bad taste in my mouth i cant bring myself to enjoy him anymore 😢 he still looks very comfy cozy tho, which i appreciate! i knew id love motomi from the start bc hes a dilf character (which is My Type) and i heard hes really kind n sweet so i lovedddd him! i love akira also <3 and i unfortunstely kinda like gunji too im sorry im SORRYYYY HES TERRIBLE HE WAS JEUT RLY ENTERTAINING tho his ending was obv painful to sit through. im sorry !!!&#^$ and i lvoe akiractoo so much more than i expected? hes a good kid <33
IM RAMBLING TOO MUCH ILL SHUTCUP NOW SBFBSB TY FORNTHE ASKKK

7 Anti LO Asks
1. i see LO fans say "she can rewrite the myths as much as she wants! it doesnt matter if it doesnt have to be 100% the same!" which to an extent i agree, but RS does it to such extremes and obviously changing everything and everyone to fit her narrative that it doesn't match any of the original myths. why even use the myths to begin with if you throw 99% of it out anyway? in the beginning she at least tried to tie it back, but now it's just fanfic, and it's not even good fanfic at that.
2. yall theres not even height diversity in LO, how the hell would there be body diversity? even the colors arent diverse, persephone isnt even unique anymore outside of her ugly red eyes (which other characters have anyway).
3. i saw someone say the reason LO is dragging so long is because rachel "needs all that time to set up hxp's relationship on a healthy base" which like first off what comic are you ready if you think any part of her depiction is anything but a toxic nightmare but also?? do they know only maybe three weeks have passed in all this time?? by all accounts they're actually rushing everything and not putting a healthy base on anything. its a slow burn for the readers, not the actual couple.
4. SO LIKE …. I WASNT AWARE OF ALL THIS AND I WAS INTERESTED IN LO FOR A GOOD WHILE BUT LIKE … “the damaging nature of purity culture” HELLO? HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE UNAWARE OF THIS SHIT …… YIKES ………
same anon as the one who came in all caps freaked out about this shit unaware of it for the longest time but like . distressed since i spent MONEY to read this. ugegjhrh. the ableism, the blatant “pedophilia-but-not-quite”, the homophobia, the classism. i am quite literally jsut… Blind. to these things. not by intent, but bcos im just stupid by solid default. but jesus christ i dont like this author anymore.
5. part of the reason too LO rings hollow is because it keeps being "look how attractive and desirable hades is!" when thats not how it works. his desirability shouldnt be based off having a six pack or having the most money or having women fight over him, it should be that he has a good personality and is just all around a well written character, which he isn't. in fact he has more to him that makes him unattractive, and not even in a "attractive bad boy" way, he's just an awful person.
6. Hades “Minthe you need to take responsibility for your self” (offers her no support other than finically and a job aka controlling her life)
Also hades “don’t worry about murdering those people Kore you’re powerful, and you know what I’ll drive you to therapy after I have your family over for a party . While we’re at it let me spoil you with presents  and hide you from my brother. How about on top of that I’ll defend you against my brother instead of brushing this trial off.”
7. tbh i dont buy rachel's "im trying to have a laugh at' excuse for the age gap. you do not purposely make her so borderline underage and even have the characters point out its gross just to be like "its no big deal!" esp when hades and co are made to such extreme ages. she could still have the same personality and desires/goal at 1k+ years old, and its clear rachel is just trying to save face for making such an icky idea instead of just admitting LO is just a mix of her fanfic kinks.

HI YES I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR MORE ABOUT KNICKLE
christmas present to myself; infodumping about knickle
OK SO first of all their surface level dynamic of 'two gamer bros, one is grumpy and one is goofy' is already excellent. i can make so many gamer jokes. i can make so many bro jokes. its amazing.
but their FULL dynamic makes me go bonkers and become gay. 'two bros. one is an emotionally repressed jerk with a secret soft side thats trying to better himself. the other is a goofy and ditzy gamer whos mellowed out due to a traumatic experience and is trying to recover. the jerk cares about the gamer to a degree he hasn't shown to any other character on the show, and the gamer, due to the advice given to him by the jerk, has been able to make an effort towards moving on from his old friend that sent him into a depressive spiral. they also play video games together' like THATS SO GOOD *passes out*
i started liking knickle before episode 13 + 14 came out when the only meaningful connection they'd really had was the scene from episode 7. it was mostly me being like "knife was nice to him and seemed to genuinely care about helping him even though he usually doesn't do that. kinda gay ngl." which was pretty awesome of me. but now that knife berated taco about abandoning pickle and asked mic to say hi to pickle on his behalf... that scene was definitely not a one off thing of him doing a random act of kindness. he cares about the pickle and still thinks about him.
AND IT MAKES SENSE THAT HE DOES!! knife is the most critical of the show and takes the most note of the way that it affects people. and pickle is arguably the character that has undeservedly been hurt the most by the show. knife is like you deserve better than the world has given you bro. i love you bro. but even besides knowing and caring about what pickles going thru, given that they hung out together inbetween seasons and that he wanted to say hi to him, knife seems to just. genuinely like pickle and enjoy his company. which is probably more reason why he would care about helping him out. cries.
so besides the fact that knife genuinely cares about and wants to help pickle, he's also benefited from being so willing to do so. the episode 7 scene was the first time in the show he had extended kindness to anyone, and in the two other notable times he's extended kindness and given advice to people... id argue its because they reminded him of pickle?
my friend rib did a sick knife analysis which kinda goes over this but like. knife notices suitcase distressed over the way shes been treated by her alliance. kinda like pickle. and its even more more obvious with mic, he's more adamant about mic getting out of the alliance because he knows what SPECIFICALLY taco did to her last alliance member, and doesn't want her to do that again. but he can never seem to be as genuine as when he gave more direct advice (albeit as a metaphor) to pickle. his advice to suitcase is very vague (wtf does make your presence known even MEAN bro) and their conversation is more him pointing out the behavior of the alliance that he thought was apparent. and with mic, he sees his efforts as favors, and a combination of spiting taco and keeping mic from going thru what pickle did. pickle is where knife's advice character arc started, and pickle is where it's presumably ended (is that what you said to pickle, say hi to pickle for me). pickle makes knife want to be a better person. cries again.
and though theres less to say and analyze since he hasnt. had any frickign lines for 6 years (im so excited for letters to get a comic dub you have no idea), pickle has benefited from knife being there for him and giving him helpful advice. he replaced the photo of him and taco and has been more willing to forgive and trust, like with balloon, and if not for knife, there's... no telling if anyone would've noticed what he was going through and tried to help him, or if he'd be willing to open up to OJ after the events of episode 7 kept him from doing so. which makes me so frickin sad man.
and this is jsut me projecting and being soft. but. the thought of, after all the shit he went through on and after the show, after being pushed aside by everyone, pickle getting to be with someone that changed for the better and cares about him from a place of genuine compassion? as opposed to taco, who changed for the worse and only pretended to care about him for her own gain? holy moly im gay. pickle deserves a happy ending after being treated so badly, and knife deserves one too. and i think it would be so sweet if a happy ending for them meant they'd have it together.
THIS IS MOSTLY JSUT MY DUMB THOUGHTS ON THE CONTENT IN THE SHOW rather than like. headcanons like a normal person. oh god. basically despite them being apart they care about each other, make each other better people, and their relationship makes for plenty of fun and comedy as well as a lot of tenderness and mutual love + support.
also ive honestly? kinda come to terms with it maybe being harder to get into knickle due to the lack of content in the show. and its definitely my favorite partially because i love overanalyzing stuff and take a lot away from things that are implied or subtext. which is also partially why i love pickle, hes has a lot of cool emotional stuff goin on that hasn't really been explored and i find a lot of joy in thinkin about him!! anyways if you read all of this i am so sorry

ok trek dump of recent thoughts
- i really cant remember much about the reckoning, as an episode - except for... well. its just, its so strange. it FELT like what happened in there should have been important but it really didnt feel like much to me. and again ive said it before- but it IS such a shame, bc i really, really do want them to explore bajor and the prophets more, and do them a good service, but... ehhh id otn know.
- i really, liked valiant though. nog and jake centred eps, i feel, are actually generally some favourites- theyre both VERY lovable, you know, but also... realistic, in a very specific way? familiar. like ive said before: theyve really NAILED writing characters that are of that age, as most stuff either makes them too stupid or too mature and i think theyre the right level of very component dumbass pieces of shit. and i think their faults really just... help realise
- that being said i wouldnt even consider valiant a nog and jake story necessarily. obviously it is about them, and they are important but yo uknow like... i just really like that they revisited red squadron. on so many different levels. like, not only does this kind of pull back the curtain on starfleet itself- the fact that yes, babe, it IS a military ... and obviously that has been approached during the run of ds9 a lot already, but this explores... that whole other gross aspect of how predatory and brainwashing it is. these, like, kids (i mean? young adults- i would assume theyre MY ageish, at oldest which not right at all there babe) being so willing to die. and moreover its also like...
- ok im not going to engage in wesleydiscourse bc honestly this isnt abt him but OK LET ME. let me touch on it a LITTLE. gifted kid narratives in stories... i very rarely like them , and sorryyyyy for the amount of talk im abt to do abt gifted kid syndrome etc. etc. bc i KNOW!! BITCH, i know, but like... see the thing is: in principle i dont hate the idea of exploring, like, extremely gifted and young individuals. but the writing never... does it right. there was a lot of that with wesley in early tng- WHICH, by the way? its one of the reasons why i do like to defend this little guy (other than the fact i think ppl are fucking WEIRD) bc like. i really do not think wesley himself was annoying but instead it was literally. all of the early tng writing which sucked so fucking badly.
and i think with lots of "gifted children" characters they weirdly infantalise them but also jsut. make them totally infallible in the weirdest fucking ways. like i said: early tng is written soooo rough, babe... but i remember there were so many episodes where characters would just be bent out of shape and written to act stupid as hell, so that wesley can do the smart thing. which is like. again i see why people are then annoyed at wesley in that case but frankly. it jsut doesnt... READ right at all like. you just made everyone kinda frustrating to watch in this episode. if you WANT wesley to save the day theres more elegant ways to do this than just... screwing over everyone but ok. its like you have to be more balanced with your approach here my love.
(and it was most egregious with wes, but frankly- hell... theres lots of picard instances, too, in tng that kinda just make me roll my eyes. where its like- the ENTIRE episode plot will not include picard at all. it will be narratively unsatisfying for him to conclude the episode's issue, rather than the people actually involved who have DONE all of the legwork todeal with the situation, and wherein it would actually MEAN something if they get to do the resolution. but then they just.... randomly bring in picard to do a speech to end the episode anyways. and its like i get it hes the captain, you want him to look sooooooooooooo competent- but i literally... do not want to see that bald cunt right now. its like its just SLOPPY you know bc if you want to have that moment of picard making a speech, then write the context for it? actually build it up? dont jsut... randomly slap it in like my goodness gracious. bc again ur just... robbing other characters and doing him himself a disservice bc ur just kinda. making it more irritating than anything anyways OMG)
omg im getting sooo off topic and anyways its WHY i liked wesley a hell of a lot more in later stories, his last one with the traveller notwithstanding (as they... literally went back to insisting he was oh so special just? for no reason!? i guess??? and putting him on a weird pedestal- which is so... contrary to what they'd done more recently). bc its never HIM who was irritating but literally. tng incompetence early on. LIKE, for example!? his run-in at starfleet academy, where he almost got expelled... that was literally my favourite wesley ep i think. like i WANTthat you know. i wanna see a little guy whos very clever and talented and does have a good heart- like give it to me, baby.... but i want you to actually write me a character whos living that life rather than writing an episode around a character whos just that if that literally makes any sense.
- anyways where was i im so rambly im very ill have i mentioend that i mean im not very ill but ive been wrong in the head for days
but yeah . thats what a lot of these cadets also really felt like. where they are all clearly extremely gifted and intelligent and wonderful kids but also... very fallible in their own rights. and i think its also like- theres a self awareness here that i also really appreciate and its actually ok.
ok BACK to wesley discourse for a SHORT, short second. i feel bad im about to vague someone here i dont mean it in ill intent but someone in a tag (NO idea who it even was but hmm i cant remember if the post circulated a lot or if it was a rando personal one- it just stuck with me, and either way idc abt op i dont mean it this way but like) ppl hate wes bc they hate ND kids - or at least, it was that effect and i think yes i agree thats ehrm. definitely a motivating factor but i do also feel... very uncomfortable as an ND person who was also a "gifted kid"- and i know eye roll babe, eye roll but like... my actual point here is like... ehrm. the white audacity of that<3.?! HELP SORRY ITS JUST- yes i do think its facilitated by that, but also... please dont just... flat iron the whole thing bc there ARE some parts of wes' situation specifically regarding his NDness that do kinda. make me uncomfortable with the way hes treated. BECAUSE its the (white) culture of gifted kid burnout on tumblr dot com just being. infuriating and insufferable so so fucking much of the time. like YES. yes i agree it all sucks a lot. its- its bad, and again i KNOW babe its not right bc ive also been there too but like... we all also got fucked over for one, and furthermore... you are very much sorta going over your own privilege here like. sorry to say that babe sorry but its just- bc thats.... what i see a lot of when i look at wes also. and the script is never aware of that like
yes i think hes a lovely boy and whatnot. but you cannot deny... the absurd special treatment you have to get, where you're allowed to work on the bridge of the flagship of starfleet bc you've been clever once or twice and the captain was besties with your dead dad . like its . exactly how gifted and talented classes work irl: select kids are cherrypicked, and not by any proper metric, to be handed more opportunities and to be given a leg up in literally EVERYTHING... and not only that theres. and theres- again theres some eps in particular with wes- god.im sorry i cant remember which ones its been so long since early tng for me rn but its like (squeezes myself) HMM WHAT WAS IT. where like wesley will say something thats "right" and ppl wont exactly take him seriously and its like thats shown as a bad thing and i agree its not good that they dont listen to him all the time, but also.. i do not at all feel comfortable with the way the show used to sometimes reward him, bc he was "cleverer" than everyone else and went over everyones heads to do what he thought was correct? like- again uh... gifted kid environments. ive known so many ND white boys especially who just... get off so easy with shit and praised for stuff like that and its not right and its not fair and i KNOW its not that deep within the context of the show. (LIKE IM BEING WAYYYY TOO SDIOGJSDGPJS- like fyi i dont rllyhate wes. frankly i should be taking potshots at aos kirk because i KNOW hes way , way, way fucking worse, but im aware of the plot of aos and thats it i havent seen it because i know it would boil my blood) but the way its written babe you know what i mean... like yes things did all work out- bc its fiction, and thats how its written- but also you just cant guarantee that! and yes i know its sorta elitist to insist that ppl have to have went through starfleet to be respected in SOME ways but also... like. i do think that without adequate, rigorous training and being tested that your expertise, YES, should sometimes not always be listened to!? bc like- youre on a fucking spaceship, babe!!! like- i know hes clever.. but also im like. cringing a lot bc i dont think smartness should just GET you such amazing opportunities, like... im thinking of all the ppl in starfleet who probably worked tooth and nail and proved themselves repeatedly through hard work and its like... bestie arent ANY of them allowed to have work experience on the flagship. why is it that the kid that hangs about but they see him and theyre like wow hes pretty smart. let him do it i guess like its just- SORRY omg im taking this too personally here... my point is its that sort of. privilege that comes with a lot of white, nd boys who like. yaaayyyy.... their nd qualities definitely do not get them treated right, but theyre let off the hook way too often whereas like. poc and many girls are treated like. absolute fucking dogshit. and often traumatised in very serious ways by the education system because of the racism and vilified and never afforded the same opportunities. black kids,other kids of colour esp... they'll be called rude and violent and all sortsa bs if they ever. TRIED any of this- and you know, anyways i might delete this all bc this is too ranty andits getting less abt wes now and more about the general culture of fucking gifted burnout kid syndrome thats been pissing m off so much again recently its sick in the head my g
ANYWAYS my point is. i loved this episode bc what they DID with red squad was like- like i said. tng was never self-aware with the ways wes got major favouritism and therefore could never criticise it. whereas HERE... its really showing 1) how that facilitates such a fucked up fucking culture, because you CAN be so talented all you please but sometimes you really do NEED the experience, you need to have lived through things before you make big decisions to fully fathom what you're doing. wow my god: of course it feels so good to say we WILL risk it all, we KNOW we must be right! but sometimes theres things you just wont anticipate and you also jsut.... its so good to saayyy that but you have to really fucking know what youre risking sometimes and 2) how that in of itself can give these kids such a fucking . complex and how this pressure isnt right to put on them its fucking them up too and like... this closed system of kids who are absolutely convinced theyre special and good enough to be doing all of these things and that they know just as much as the adults who do these things and can therefore make these executibe decisiosn my goddd and THE BRAINWASHING BITCH. i think i rambababled abt that above and up there didnt i just. whereinits like- theyre DEDICATED to this way, to dying for this cause like.... girl this is fucking horrifying? like this is a franly horrifying insight into what starfleet is cultivatinfg, whether this specific thing was intentional or not the actual... structure of thought they instilled in these fuckin kids man . hi. like-
-i thibk ineed to shut up it wasnt that good i cant keep talking like this for a bajorian years bc i just got sidetracked there soo badly eek l olz
- i cant go into detail with profit and lace. theres not. i cannot fucking unpack that. what i WILL say, if you literally cut out the plot itself and what this episode is doing, structurally... they really are improving with the ferengi eps otherwise. early ds9 ferengi eps just really did not do it for me but a lot of these later ones usually hit the right tone and humour and pacing that it works. like this episode obviously fucking sucks but like.. again. structurally. functionally? i donr know. im not very good at analysis isnt it quite clear... #womeninstem #ihaventdoneenglishsincegcse<3 so im never quite sur ehow to PUT it omg its not my talent is it girlie. hrm. theres just this certain RHYTHM to the script now that just feels so right- even if the actual episode itself sucks... like theyre honing the art of writing ferengi eps i guess. wherein the earlier ones they weren't quite right: both in subject matter, but also more primarily that execution and now ... these ones yeah they do kinda rock with involving so many of them and leaning more and more into the comedy that really works well. but this episode is still rotting from the inside. in ways i cant even think of because they begin to melt me.
- ....
- ITS JUST!
- HHHOW BABE HEDLP HOW CAN YOJ... ITS LITERALLY EVEN WORSE THAN TURNABOUT INTRUDER. ITS LITERALLY EVEN WORSE. IT- I.... holy shit. holy shit. SCREAM.
- AND ITS IN THAT WAY AGAIN WHERE THEYRE JUST BEING SO OFFENSIVE HALF THE TIME I WANT TO SAY well now its just getting camp (takes it and twists it because youve literally gone so wrong somewhere parts of this are just hysterical in ways you could never have fathomed)<3 like the WEIRD. VAGUE FUCKIG...
- BUT QUARK DID FUCK THAT GUY, YEAH? QUARK... QUARK DID... YOU GUYS MADE THAT HAPPEN I AM BAFFLED. AS TO LIKE. I MEAN YOU THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY FUNNY BUT ALSO- QUARK LITERALLY..... SORRY..... NO IM NOT . I CANT TOUCH THIS AND WHAT HAPPENED HERE.
- anyways onto the ep i watched and actually i was going to just comment on this one: times orphan i feel soo bad bc .ehrm oops (blushes) i... really want to like this but its just... its not quite right here is it my love
- like i feel like a combination of: 1. the key themes of this episode have been done way better by other episodes of trek; 2. the extremely weak writing between the o'briens as a unit makes this really hard for me to care, because like you quite literally just ship keiko and molly and yoshi off constantly like... frankly i really was just expecting them to leave molly in the past like that and for there to be no fucking bearing on miles or the rest of the show... bc i literally do not think there would be even if you did that; 3. and theres just some decisions in here that jsut... dont WORK you know? worf trying to bond with yoshi- oh thats ehrm. sweet. and it does git with this ep i guess but like?a very horrifying thing has happened and it just- it feels like... cant we focus on that. this is another one of those eps where it WOULD be hardhitting if you cut out the B-plot. even if its thematically relevant it jsut... i really would rather focus on the pretty horrific thing thats just gone on and its also like. ahhghmmeerr ok hang on not and lasty bc; 4. and LASTLY it just feels like. hm. ok im going to be honest im very autistic and i have issues so osmeitmes i just get confused but it jsut... feels like the way people were reacting to this situation!? were NOT .... NORMAL.... !? like i like that keiko got frustrated- that makes sense that they wouldnt totally understand molly but its also like... nmy ggod it felt like they so easily and readily accepted that this happened to her. i know you guys are adjusted to trauma but- you guys seemed kinda calm1? and then so easily decided to let her go back and i think thats like. again a consequence of the above point wherein i feel like you werent really immersing us in this and its just a matter of execution AND also the second point but it sjsut i dont know... i just feel like i did not care my love. and i should of my goodness me. like i would have liked better focus on the strain and- the actual consequences of this rather than just... a very superficial look at how molly is acting like. i dont know but its also very hard to do that with molly and keiko because uhm. like i said you really havent built proper characters to work with, have you hmmm? have you ds9!? noo yiu havent! <3
anyways end of ramble i need to sjut up

sometimes im like “am i also a hypocrite because tommy is my fav cc but c!tommy is also my fav on the smp?” but then i remember dream, techno and phil are also some of my absolute fav ccs but i have so much anger and annoyance at their characters so im like hmm mayhaps not
also im not an “apologist” god i hate that word SO MUCH JINERFBJKGFDJK i just see a lot of justification/reasoning behind tommys actions and i do think hes also done a lot of wrong, but the thing is, hes gotten punished SO MUCH unlike 90% of the other characters on the smp which is big ouchies
also cc!wilbur is also my absolute fav, and c!wilbur is one of my fav characetrs who i also love but critise a lot but also understand hes got many issues, doesnt mean hes excused or completely evil, hes just complicated and a sympathetic character whos very confusing and deep
idk i just hate the whole “apologism” thing going on in the fandom it pisses me off because its either people doing no critical thinking and jsut latching onto characters becuase, either its their fav cc, they think that a character is either Completely Evil or Never Done Anythign Bad Ever, or not beign an apologist but usign that title, because apparently now it means “fav character” which PISSES ME OFF AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
like, if i see “c!tommy apologist” im like.. uhhh idk i dont agree hes never done anything wrong (unless im saying it as a joke) he actually has many flaws and fucked up plenty of times, but hes one of the most justified and understandable characters out there in my opinion, i agree with most of what hes done, and if i dont i usually feel “this was a really bad decision but i understand why u felt the need to do that”
but if i see someone calling themself a c!dream apologist?? holy shit my fight or flight instinct is activated. because its SUPPOSED to mean “i agree with all the characetrs actions and think hes completely justified in everything hes done, he has done no wrong” which. when i look at c!dream im just liek HUH???????????? because theres a difference between being like “this guy is evil and i think thats fun, i like villains” and “actually i think this character who has done evil and awful things and actually abused people is in the right haha” and its like what. but then sometimes its people who just?? enjoy dreams characters and are more sympathetic to hima nd actually make some good points and im just like WHY DO YOU CALL YOURSELF AN APOLOGIST WHEN YOURE NOT OIJFEDKBJNGFNJ
like i was saying. i just despise the word “apologist” and the discourse of “a character is either completely morally correct and justified in EVERYTHING or theyre a complete bad guy” and its like. guys thats just not how it works
sorry for this long nonsense ramble but these are just thoughts ive had in my head for a long time and it just makes me mmmmmmmm
i know i did like 900 typos in here but idc im not going back to check

TNG BABEYYYYYYYYY
im gonna kiss you on the lips
favorite character: i know i talk about data the most but like. actually its probably q tbh. but ONLY in tng he has like 1 episode in ds9 and 3 episodes in voyager and theyre all horrible. but the tng episodes?? absolutely effervescent. but like. ok how do i explain this . hes fucking funny!! but also like. hes my favorite because its a combo of “lol hes stupid and gay and funny” but ALSO “the implications of being godlike and immortal are really fascinating” AND “the writers used his character very effectively as a foil for picard and as not only a test of but also a reaffirmation of the most core themes of tng i.e. human value and progress” i could go on about this for hours
second favorite character: OKAY this one definitely goes to data ohughgh my god... oh data we’re really in it now. hes so. hjrhghh!!!!!!!!!!!!! *spends several hours thinking about how datas humanity is explored throughout the series *thinks about how datas desire to be human i.e. desire to grow past what he is is inherently a human trait and once again one of the most core themes of tng *thinks about how much data loves his friends *thinks about how data consistently shows that he does indeed have emotions even though he thinks he doesnt because hes always been told he doesnt but its so so clear that he DOES he just experiences them in a different way
least favorite character: hrmmm well theres a lot of like. characters with only a couple appearances i could probably choose from but when it comes to the more main-series id probably say tasha? not because i dislike her but like. she was only in season 1 save for a small handful of appearances past then and like. theres. very few season 1 episodes i like. so yeah its not that i DISlike her i just . like her less than all the rest of the main cast. she deserved better though :/
the character i’m most like: oh god? oh god??? ummm . ummm oh im so bad at this. im gonna say data bc *often has difficulty navigating social situations *overshares *overexplains *tried to have a romantic relationship once via piecing together outside impressions of romance due to having no idea how it was supposed to actually work
favorite pairing: q and picard, once again this is a combination of it just being funny as shit (the inherent hilarity of q literally having all of not only human history but pretty much any race’s history at his fingertips. and yet he goes for balding middleaged teadrinking picard. HILARIOUS) but also ouughghhh the use of characters is so good from a narrative standpoint................
least favorite pairing: hmmm. probalby worf and troi? its not like HORRIBLE i just dont. Get It. its like. i dont See it at all? for one i actually dislike though. its kinda cheating because its ds9 and not tng but i fucking HATE kira and bareil. WHY did it happen its. BAREIL?? kira come on sis... bareil?? really??? eugh 
favorite moment: oh my god theres so many dude umm. like SO many but ONE of my favorites is this scene where data is temporarily in charge of the enterprise and worf speaks out against him and data pulls worf into his private office and is like. hey. it’s your duty to tell me if you have concerns with the way i’m commanding but you need to do that in private instead of undermining me in  public. and worf is like. you’re right. i apologize. and data goes i hope i have not jeopardized our friendship and worf goes no i’m the one who has jeopardized it. i would like to remain friends if possible. and data goes i would like that. i jsut really like that scene bc like?? they handle it like mature adults?? theres no unnecessary drama they just handle it and remain friends. LOVE that
rating out of 10: this is impossible bc like. the rating i would give it in my heart and the rating i would actually give it objectively are 2 different things

Pls infodump about lancelot from what i observe almost everyone hates him? (Ok its understandable bec of his affair with queen) im curious why do you like lancelot? And i remember a few days ago you post that there so many things you want to talk about him? And i want to see you rant/gush about his character, relationships, mental illness, his flaws etc ans also what is the difference between fate lancelot and lancelot in the legends? I want to know more about him he is complicated
OK its not that everyone hates him its that people hate what he stands for. the french side of arthurian lit is VERY focused on making lancelot seem like the greatest knight in the entire world because…. wow… hes french. and french people suck. stop normalizing the french. i like lancelot because of what he COULD stand for. theres a lot of things that could be delved into more (his mental illnesses, his communication issues, his inability to comprehend love, the struggle with being unholy or wrong, ect) but no one ever does. so i stole him hes mine now fuck the french they did him dirty.
uhm ok this is under a cut for talks of kinda heavy topics (lots of mental health talk, lots of abuse talk) and also cus its long. sorry i have a lot to say about him) 
i like lancelot a lot cus i see myself a lot in him. mostly in his mental health and how he ends up dealing with situations. his struggle with violent mood swings and his huge burden of being labeled as a sinner or whatever for a relationship he admits to feeling trapped in is…. relateable… comforting to see in a fictional character i guess. as flawed as he is hes still heralded as a good person. hes still loved by his friends and his family. and thats nice.. i like it. 
uhm for his mental health the main thing that comes out is his struggles with trauma, awful depression, and also just the fact he dissociates a lot. in knight of the cart he is so out of it he doesnt realize a knight is attacking him until hes thrown into the water in which he reacts violently and freaks the fuck out, trying to rip the guy off his horse. he like. physically can not handle extreme emotions and will either fall asleep so he doesnt have to face it (le morte says this is a known quality of him, he does this enough dinadan expects it as soon as he gets mad) or he swings so hard he has an extreme bout of depression (in the vulgate when trying to comprehend his relationship with guenevere and galehaut he just shuts down and spends all his time sleeping or staring at the river) or awful mania (see: the many times guenevere freaks out at him and he gets so upset he jumps out a window and lives in the woods). Lancelot has a lot of unworked out trauma from being r*** twice by the same woman who continues to use him and freak him out so much he cant find camelot safe (triggering another huge spike where he runs off into the woods) or the literal entire end of the legends where he has to deal with the trauma of while having one of his dissociative episodes in combat he accidentally kills gareth, someone he loves and adores like a brother or son and gets so upset he just accepts everything happening and hides in joyous gard, where his cousins have to BEG him to go and defend his honor from gawain whos basically knocking on his door pleading with lancelot to kill him. 
lancelots inability to understand a lot of social nuances is also really interesting but like, ultimately leads to a lot of strife for him most namely galehauts death and gueneveres constant abuse. The thing is Lancelot basically idolizes guenevere and this is where a lot of the abuse and weird shit comes from in their relationship. lancelot was a very young knight who honestly didnt understand anything about BEING a knight when he came to court. the queen knighted him and him, being young and not understanding, took this as “i am her knight! i will do anything for her!” and guenevere just kinda ran with this? i dont rlly wanna go too into it ill do that later when i get farther in the vulgate and can talk more on it but it leads to lancelot being trapped in a relationship he admit hurts him, but the small sliver of love guenevere gives him when she needs him is enough to keep him in because his mindset is still “im her knight! this is what a knight should do for his lady!” Galehaut is a different situation where his blindness to social cues and other shit leads to a lot of drama and hellish shit and when he finally snaps and realizes “oh. oh no this is what love should be” its too late and galehaut is dead and lancelot isnt much better. his own mother has to come and convince him not to literally kill himself over this and sends him into a spiral of depression where he doesnt leave the joyous gard for months. when he does and when he comes back to court, no one really … cares? that galehaut is dead. and this is lancelots first experience with actual love and his first experience with the death of someone close to him. which is an awful double whammy to have to experience. he does have good friends like gawain and dinadan and tristan and his relationship with galahad is good but they all end up dead or turned against him by something thats he did and its just. god its so sad to watch. the only people lancelot is left with in the end are his cousins, and even at the end of all of that hes left alone with the corpses of people he thought he loved. 
like hes a very flawed man. lancelot is a problem causer and not a problem solver. he doesnt try to he really doesnt, he strives to be the perfect knight mostly for some sliver of appreciation from someone he idolizes he never really ends up getting. he doesnt know how to cope, and ends up making things worse when he inevitably ends up screwing shit up because of this. hes called a sinner and unholy by god, and while he is very proud of his son for what he ends up achieving, has to deal with the trauma of the grail quest alone. he ends up killing someone he loves, and who genuinely respected and cared for him like a brother in a fit of him not being able to deal with heavy emotions. like he truly is in the wrong in most situations but like. in such a pitiable way. hes a good person, but lets his flaws overtake him a lot and pushes away the people who want the best for him. its like…. sad. 
(about to talk about fate u can drop off now if u just wanted to read my arthurian lit opinions :-) )
i could go off about fate lancelot and all the problems i have with him for hours but i think the main thing i wanna talk about rn is how they handle his internalization of his life and then just did nothing with it. his wish for the grail is just to be told he was wrong. thats so fucking GOOD!! in life he was heralded as the best knight like of course his one regret was that no one ever stopped him and went “you are wrong. this is wrong. you are doing the wrong thing.” and that being all he wants out of the thing that can grant any wishes is soooooo soo cool and neat. and then they just reduced his personality to “oh boo hoo im so sad im going to fuck a married woman now” like. the fucking dissonance. like lancelot isnt the type for random flings. tristan sure i understand that a bit hes unhinged and hard to characterize and .. honestly does just go around fucking married woman. weirdo. but lancelots entire struggle is over his relationship with guenevere being both wrong morally and literally abusive! i jsut dont get it i dont understand how they built up something so interesting with zero and threw it all out the window it makes me so mad. i dont even wanna talk about fate lancelot anymore rn its giving me a headache cus im so mad.

THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; mun & muse - meme.
Tumblr media
tagged by: i took it from @wildshero tagging: anybody who wants to i guess.... um... @lupihero / @hyaciiintho / @origcmibird / @dansiere / @drakslay / @fellcarnate / @gerudofury / @aerialarcher​ / there i added people. 
fill out & repost ♥ this meme definitely favors canons more, but i hope oc’s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. multi-muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.
My muse is:   canon / oc / au ( dependent on verse ) / canon-divergent / fandomless
Is your character popular in the fandom?  YES / NO.
Is your character considered hot™ in the fandom?  YES / NO / IDK.
Is your character considered strong in the fandom? YES / NO / IDK.
Are they underrated?  YES / NO.
Were they relevant for the main story?  YES / NO / MAYBE
Were they relevant for the main character?  YES / NO / THEY’RE THE PROTAG.
Are they widely known in their world?  YES / NO / MAYBE
How’s their reputation?  GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL. ( it honestly depends who you ask, and when in the story it is. )
How strictly do you follow canon?  — I follow enough canon to not change the plot, but its very VERY lore heavy. and it diverges post game as well. Not to mention there are some discrepancies with my Link as well. namely his eye colour. his personality is BIT more jaded than canon. but then again, he is a character that is ( in theory ) YOU. so its how YOU play the game. 
SELL YOUR MUSE! Aka try to list everything, which makes your muse interesting in your opinion to make them spicy for your mutuals.  — i mean. idk im not really a sellout in general....?? he’s... extremely interesting in the fact that you have a tired man(tm) who’s just about done with the world at such a young age. he’s the hero of hyrule, and has done many feats. he has interesting stories to tell. and he’s not at all a boring person. he’s a bit quirky, has a fan-base, and overall, who WOULDN’T want to interact with link? i mean its LINK. after all... not to mention that he’s not really PREDICTABLE for the most part. I mean he is kind of but also not at all. I just??? i think a lot of people find him interesting? he’s also very attentive at times. you literally have to throw a rock and he will look your direction. 
Now the OPPOSITE, list everything why your muse could not be so interesting (even if you may not agree, what does the fandom perhaps think?).  — he is a selective mute. he WILL not talk. he will not approach you. you HAVE to approach him.... while he tends to be ‘OP’ he really isn’t. he’s still very much a human, and will react as such. its very hard to approach cause he has that ‘intimidating feel’ and lets not forget that he really does straight up ignore people if hey dont say anything to him. in that aspect it’s hard to interact with him. because its not like he ‘tunnel visions’ but he just wont pay attention to you if there is nothing to pay attention to. 
What inspired you to rp your muse?  — he’s been a muse for me since 2012. just always put on the backburner for a reason. but really? link was the ONE character that I could relate to. he was my go to guy. really. in high school, i struggled with friends and a lot of other things. but i pushed through. and honestly. link was ALWAYS a character that i turned to for that. it happened with Skyward Sword as well. when BOTW came out it was the same way. BOTW was my go to game in college because of link. so when i finally gt the wiiu version and started playing TP again, i was like. YEP im making him again. cause yes. the themes in TP are all themes that are right up my alley too. so of course i am going to find inspiration there. I ALSO found inspiration when i found some celtic music as well. I listen to msic when i write my replies. and when i was writing a reply on another blog. i found some celtic music and i just had THAT MOOD. 
What keeps your inspiration going? — the game. celtic music. honestly art. vines. anythign that reminds me of TP Link keeps me going. some of the interactions i have keep me going. the PLOTS i have keep me going.
Some more personal questions for the mun.
give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.
Do you think you give your character justice?  YES / NO. 
Do you frequently write headcanons? YES / NO. ( lol yea. )
Do you sometimes write drabbles?  YES / NO. ( i mean i love to write drabbles tbh. I don’t think i have on link, but I would always LOVE to. though if you look at some of my asks, they can be considered drabbles. lololol i love to write. )
Do you think a lot about your Muse during the day?  YES / NO.
Are you confident in your portrayal?   YES / NO ( link is the ONE muse i never EVER lose confidence in. which is why he is such a strong character for me. link is me. straight up. and i think somebody asked me that too. he’s NOT a self insert but. i can relate SO much to him in so many ways. but i love the way i portray him cause he is very unique. i just hope that my confidence doesn’t SCARE duplicates and other people cause i would never want people to be intimidated by THIS fact that i am confident. )
Are you confident in your writing?  YES / NO. ( lol yea. honestly i love to write. though my style always changed and sometimes i worry about that. cause sometimes i have prose and sometimes i dont. but im an adaptable writer which i always loved about myself. )

Do you accept criticism well about your portrayal?  — depends n the criticism. I say this all the time. theres constructive criticism. and then theres. just plain hate. I accept anything thats constructive. I want to know what i need to work on or what people would want to see. link is an ever-changing muse. i learn and grow and i will take anything thats told to me nicely without the hate.
Do you like questions, which help you explore your character?  — PLEASE. jsut send them my way i LOVE all the questions and character development. you dont even have to be a mutual for that.
If someone disagrees to a headcanon of yours, do you want to know why?  — yes and no. i mean its my HC. you are allowed to disagree with my HC. hoenstly. thats the beauty of INTERPRETATIONS. i dont expect every TP link out there to agree with all of my HCs. so long as we can all be mature adults about it and talk normally with one another. we gucci. like we are allowed to have different HCs. and honestly. I would want to know because i would want to know what YOU think about the ‘canon.’ cause it’s different. i like those differences.
If someone disagrees with your portrayal, how would you take it?  — idk why they would? its link? its the protag. and in a way its supposed to be different for each person anyway??? its like taking Robin or Corrin from FE. like people are allwoed to disagree with the portrayal i GUESS? but i don’t understand why anybody would like stragiht up HATE the portrayal. its just different? idk. 
If someone really hates your character, how do you take it?  — see above tbh. but honestly. depends. do you hate him for the portrayal. or do you hate him cause of his character personality. like you’re allowed to interact with ‘bad’ characters. not that i think anybody would HATE link? but you know i could be wrong??? idk how to answer this cause what do you mean by hate? you can hate a character. but still interact with them??? idk how to compute this question???
Are you okay with people pointing out your grammatical errors?  — yes and no. honestly. i know i make mistakes. but i don’t want grammar nazi’s. i write to relax. the only time i would want people to tell me is if they were trying to figure out what i meant. does that make sense. like if they are confused on something. then its okay to tell me. otherwise if its something that is just a small mistake that you can ignore. then its no big deal. its also how you approach me too. like approach with caution. i am a delicate flower. so don’t attack me for making a mistake.
Do you think you are easy going as a mun?   —  i am VERY VERY easygoing!!! I want to say im VERY kind. i am very accepting and EXTREMELY FORGIVING. no joke. I want to be the kindest person out there. I dont want people to be intimidated by me. I don’t want people to be scared of hurt by me. hoenstly. I am a very nice person. I may have different opinions but i am VERY respectful to everybody even those i do not agree with. Nobody should ever feel weird about me like ever okay? please don’t. I never want bad blood. so if something ever happens between us. you are always ALWAYS more than welcome to come talk to me when emotions have fizzled out. I am very apologetic too. so like?? idk??? who would???? consider me??? and asshole??? im tired. and i shut my door fast but its mainly cause... i am tired. nothing else has to do with it. i am very excitable and happy for people who talk to me. i consider ANYBODY who talks to me a friend. im jsut??? no really. i know people are shy. but im over her a big tired ball of fluff. i only want love and happiness for people. anybody who’s talked to me can testify to this. ♥♥
that’s about it, congrats for filling out!

ive had my own idea for a sonic movie that would still be live action and a generic child-friendly action-comedy just like the “real” sonic movie is (presumably) gonna be
IN SHORT!
The main character that makes a duo with sonic for the majority of the movie is a young girl named June.
The overall plot is very similar to sonic x, but altered to fit the time span of the usual one and a half hours movie length in movies like that.
detailed description, explanation of the pictures and character info under the cut!
Through a mal-induced chaos control eggman and sonics friends get transported into the real world. this time space rift causes some really weird stuff to happen and June gets seperated from her dad, who was just on his way to bring her to school.
at first she thinks its cool to meet a talking blue hedgehog in a really pretty nature-y place and skip school to play with him, but soon they notice that they are not alone. Eggmans robots got transported to our world too! June gets captured because she is seen with sonic and therefore identified as a threat by eggmans robots! Sonic runs after her towards what seems to be eggmans base.
meanwhile the dad was transported to a really high place, whihc is bad cos he’s  got fear of heights. Luckily tails and knuckles appear and offer to help him down
both teams start looking for eachother, but get interrupted by various obstacles. June and Sonic get hold off by eggmans schemes, while Dad and Sonics friends stumble upon amy, who just escaped a military research facility. she hoped that cream would be with the others, but it seemed that they had to go back and save her. the Dad used to be a hobby boxer, but since he’s a lawyer he doesn’t really do that much anymore. it surely helped him when taking out those government officials. its funny how a lawyer breaks the law, right? there’s many jokes on that and his character development goes from strict father figure that doesnt allow fun and insists on obeying the law to a wild and free man who does what’s right, even if  he has to break rules. (also he screams “sorry” every time he KOs someone because hes that kinda guy)
June and sonic manage to infiltrate the egg carrier that was transported into our world and set it to crash and render all his stuff useless!
However, the ship is on course for the city which they didnt realize until it started losing height. eggman pretends that he can still stop this if the people are willing to make him their unquestionable ruler, but sonic and june are determined to stop the ship themselves. sonic keeps eggman busy while June is in the command center trying to find a way to make the ship change course and go crash in the ocean.
in the end everything is exploding and falling apart and eggman is fleeing, June managed to change the ships course and runs up to sonic telling him he needs to run, sonic says that she doesnt have to tell him twice and they go.
sonic gets blown to the side by an explosion and trips over debris, making his knee bleed a little (u cant see blood bc this is kid friendly hes just hurt like theres dirt or smth lol) and he tells june to run and not worry, but she comes back and lifts him on her back and is determined to run as fast as she can to get outside
when she reaches a door she screams because she’s scared. they are close to the ground, but not close enoguh to make it alive if she jumped... then sonic hugs her from behind and says “jump on my command” and shes like. no way. but he says “trust me we’re not gonna get hurt if we hit water” and shes like “but i cant swim that well” sonic chuckles “me neither” and then she gets the memo and is all determined and ready and they make it and its magical
they might also have a scene thats a nudge to 06 where sonic is very Positive and gives good life advice.
while everything seems like its perfect eggman is starting plan B of his conquer the others were all alarmed by the crashing egg carrier and therefore came speeding in the modified car tails rebuild for Dad (it can turn into a fucken plane. Dad and June are finally reunited and he thanks sonic for watching after her, and sonics like nah ur daughter totally watched after me shes a hero.
and then they work together to stop eggmans final boss robot and save the city.
at some point they all found chaos emeralds somewhere. and sonic can turn super to finish eggman off. yeah that sounds cool.
that also makes him and the others fade back into their own dimension, bc hes Got That Power
in the end its just him, June and Dad iin midst of a park in the city with debris and shit and June is like. sonic dont go we jsut became friends
and sonics like. treasure the memories you make and live life to the fullest bc u only got this one shot and u gotta make the best of it. n her dad is all agreeing and shakes his hand and is like. thanks sonic
and June hugs him and cries but smiles and sonic says nice smile bc im kinda getting emotional writing this all out and then he disappears in a flash of light and in that moment it cuts to the mom on the side of the park in her car with the window down going “what the-” and credits roll
thanks for reading
okay i know most of this was really silly and unfinished but granted i was making this all up as i went on and on about this and like. yea. i brainstormed this in like. 2 horus time completely from scratch, only using sonic X as basis for the plot and the humor of popular and successful action comedies as inspiration for the tone of the movie
as for the characters i just thoguht a carefree girl thats tired of being stuffed into a mold meeting sonic and learning that its okay to be herself and do what u think is right, learning that kindness really is the most powerful thing on earth and that friendships are precious??? hell fucking yeah!
also child character is more relateable than a fucking cop. kids will be able to relate to June, while adults (long time fans most of all) will be able to see their past self in her.
as for the dad, a lot of adults might see themselves in this dad role who just wants the best for his  kid, while being stuck in a boring job that doesnt really fulfil them, but pays the bills and the lifestyle the family has.
I also really wanted characters that you have not seen before. Whenever i see a black dad he has a shaved head and thats kinda boring its just. basic. nothing agianst dads with shaved heads but why is Every Single(black) Dad Bald/Buzzcut? so i gave him dreads because why not? looks cool when he does action shit. whoosh whoosh
i knew i wanted a kid and i knew i wanted a girl. im really fond of puffy pigtails and i decided to go with a black girl just because! it was the very first thing that came to my mind when i was looking for an adventurous girl that wants to go on adventures with a blue talking hedgehog.
plus loving black dads that lov their girls rly rly need rep u_u
as for sonics design, i tried to compromise with the movie’s need for a more realistic sonic by making him overall fluffier to hint at texture, but keeping his core design and proportions.
the same goes for all the other characters.
I’m still very thinking emoji about eggman, I think it would be best to have him be either played by a fat person. Like Really Fat Person to resemble his original design (hes fat okay who cares abt slanky legs) or have him be CGI/partially CGI due to the fact that he’s from another dimension.
and uh. that’s all i have to say for now! it’s 1am and i should get to bed!

watching every naruto opening and discussing my opinions because im bored liveblog
original
took me a little while to warm up to it idk why maybe because its not as up tempo and its a shonen and i want to get hype but i love it now. love the part where the camera pans around team 7 fighting randos they are babies… also its so funny when sasuke holds out his hand to naruto to help him out of the lake and he jsut fist bumps him. gay boy
Haruka fucking kanata baby!!!!!!!! a fav. like we all know this. i listen to the song just regularly a lot and every time it comes on shuffle im like Oh my god its haruka kanata. read the english translation of the lyrics… sns
this one got stuck in my head for a while lol. i like seeing everyone babie and i like naruto shaking his head at the end to dry off like a dog
DDMnanannaddnnaaaaa naaaaaaaaa nda aaWE ARE FIGHTING DEAMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OOLI OLI OLIOOOOoohh!!!!! very fun very good also a very good time in the show, hello tsunade
**edgy shonen opening where theres something important in front of a chain link fence**
lol skipping 6-9 bc thats the huge chunk of filler which i didnt actually watch most of
shippuden
heros come back is SO GOOD absolutely one of my favs. banger first of all. i love how its actually choreographed and naruto sakura kakashi are like moving to the beat and i love the part where the animation is like pencil sketchy and theyre running and their bodies warp bro its just cool. the part where everyone dramatically reaches for gaara is fun, also love deidaras moment. anyway i shake my ass to this song eveyrday
distance oh god oh fuck. YOU ARE MY FRIEND!!! the sasuke and naruto stuff where they are little baby at the beginning at the end we return to the same place theyre there and like about to stab each other i’m going to scream. i lvoe the song of course. hello sai! i love team 7s little spotlight moments where they get to pose to the music its so cute. why is sasuke snake jesus? DO you remember that long lost DREAM!!!!!!!!!!
BLUE BIRD YA BANGER ok the whole symbolism. when naruto falling next to sasuke rising is positioned like yin and yang lol. when naruto is falling from the sky but then sasuke comes to mind and he springs into action lol. ok random people from the fillers i dont care about. naruto fell in the lake he picks up the bird feather interspersed with a couple shots of sasuke horgh. additional reading: paper bag by fiona apple
closer is one of the ones where im like eh its ok its not my favorite and then it gets to the chorus and my dumb ass is jsut screaming YOU KNOW THE CLOSER YOU GET TO SMETHING THE TOUGHTER IT IS TO REACHIT. the funniest part where narutos moping and thinking of sasuke and then he just perks up and smiles at the camera like. gay boy. like getting to see the asuma fight scenes in this op, also it was so funny seeing him get all the screentime in this op knowing hes about to die like yeah very subtle
SHA LA LA!!!! LOVE IT i love it i love it soooo much first of all banger second of all naruto looking into the water and his reflection is sasuke. lollllll. metaphor m-e-t-a-p-h-o-r the little prechorus bit in the middle gives me chills. love sasuke walking into the purple pool like a smug motherfucker thats my boy. at the end zooming into sasukes pupil zoom out it’s narutos eye oh the poetry..
signs another one of the ones where im like eh whatever its fine but not my fav but by the chorus i am standing on the table freaking out. like fuck jiraiya but this one got me a lil. the lighting and choreography of the sasuke itachi fight bit is sooooo nice and pretty, love getting to see all the new players in the story. baby ame orphans fading to the shot of yahiko as pain.. :(
this one literally makes me cry. i get chills what the fuck. definitely one of my favs. am i a bitch? maybe. i like the song by itself but like the way the rise/general shape of the melody flows with the visuals its like oh god oh fuck. again fuck jiraiya but like the role his character serves as a link between these disparate groups of people and the way thats used in this opening… how it starts and ends with him writing and this is the arc where naruto reads tales of a gutsy ninja and he learns about how he got his name and jiraiya wrote the book and hes WRITING and im going CRAZY!! i’m starting to tear up watching it rn. the shot of konan and the pains in that moment just before they leap forward. Sayonaaaaaaara aa lksasldfkwpoeifjhnuerIELFeuiertekdjsnlfweiourbg kakashis moment is cool in this op. also love to see the girls getting fight scenes in this op cus they sure dont in the actual show LOL anyway yeah im at the part where the melodys just hitting sooo different oh my god naruto frog eyes
DIVERRRRRRR. FAV literally like naruto is drowning. hes drowning and everyone is pushing him up so he can breathe again everyone is fighting to save him and thnen he s ouf ot the water and then he sees sasuke drowning and he JUMPS BACK IN. FOR ONE PERSON EVEN THOUGH ALL THESE OTHER PEOLE were working to help him out he dives back in for SASUKE whos drowning in the eyehole of obitos mask which is cool. ok yeah this is another one where im like tearing up because THe cymbal is em….. the way The movement of the visuals is choreographed with the song is so much. nico TOUCHED the fucking walls.
this one kinda annoys me i dont know why it just wasnt my favorite. love the sasuke and naruto staring at each other intensely moment though, would this be a shippuden opening without that. also the part at the end where sakura holds up her kunai and it like slashes and covers sasuke and naruto… inch resting…
newsongs so weird i love it. like what the hell is going on. why is naruto running like hes from some weird gmod video from 2013. love the LITERAL choreography, everyone dancing to the song like this is a musical. theres just a lot of weird moments which is fun. love sai naruto and sakura making the seal together to shoot lightning. raikage leaping gracefully across the beach
i do not enjoy this one. i just dont. it just feels like we’re bootlicking which of course we are because this is the war arc and everything is a nightmare
i remember seeing the first episode with this opening and i was excited bc its like… great another naruto pining for sasuke one this is what im here for. a light banger. minato manlet monday. ohh right this was the one where gaara sees his dad again and his OH I SEE SASUKEE
Banger! nico did indeed touch the walls again. i like that this one is like visually thematically consistent thru the whole thing, i like the nighttime dimly lit atmosphere with the bursts of brighter colorful lighting, also whenever i see tsunade i freak out. narutos cute at the end
SUCH A BANGER!!! also very cool visual style, appreciate it for that like the last one, its got that pretty consistent aesthetic with the red sky and the high contrast black blocking its fun and cool to watch. did i mention the song is a bit of a banger. obito passing thru the rock is cool too bad hes an idiot
ok from this one there were two lines i remember always seeing in the english sub that made me freak out. and one of them was like “this red hot love burning my heart” and it was over kakashi and obito fighting like damn OK. also the “i put the candle out with my finger” thing sticks in my head idk why. hate that we have the narutos big meaty claws i mean manly hands moment though. omg its hashirama and madara and then it CUTS TO SASUKE AND NARUTO IN THE SAME POSE LOL OK…
SILHOUETTE IS a banger… not as much so as some of the others but its a lot of fun. very colorful op, we got some naruto pining for sasuke, classic. also love the thing where ppl are running and they age as they do and they sort of grow into their present selves, a fun visual bit. the end where narutos like obito be nice now look at all these people behind me who think youre a meanie please be nice :(((((((((
another one with a really good visual principle ugh i love how the style of the show is integrated w the styles of more traditional printmaking its very swexy and nice to look at
LINE uugrgh i love this one, maybe a fav… naruto chasing after the light and sasuke trying so hard to snuff it out as they both reflect on their memories of each other oh god oh fuck… also i love the bits where it just has all the characters in a row like it reminds me of that one post about how in the endgame trailer they had a shot of all the female characters together to be like Girl power!! and someone was like yeah thats them showing u exactly how many women theyre going to disrespect LMAO but yeah i do love this op. also the song itself being slower w/ the triplet tempo is a nice change of pace
blood circulator hee hee… the version of this with naruto and sasuke moments is A Lot but even just the generic first version is fun. the part where narutos like knocked on his face hes sinking into the tar and hes not even trying to save himself hes just staring at sasuke, but then he sees sasuke distressed and he goes bijuu mode immediately like What did u say about my mans? there is some homoeroticism
i really hate everything about this i hate it all. sasuke is cute. thats it. ok first of all why did choji cut his hair his long hair look was so gooooooood. hinata bimboification? i mean if anything it was fun to watch these fillers just cus it was fun to watch kakashi be the hokage but really goofy and also the Crumbs tossed to the kakairus… but yeah i hate everything temari got bimbofied too like ugh please let her be a dyke :( this isnt even me talking necessarily about the opening this is me just being like i hate the naruto ending. LOL SASUKE AND NARUTOS NO HOMO BRO HIGH FIVE AT THE END LOLLLLL
ok im done
