“hey wow I loved how klaus really came into his own in s3 - still an agent of chaos but focused and interesting, taking a bit of control in his life, weaving his way through the plot and in some ways becoming the heart of the series …. I sure can’t wait to watch season 4!!!!!!!!!”

#fuck meeee #don’t get me wrong his plot had its moments #but it all meant Jack shit #just reviving an edgy comic subplot that doesn’t work for his tv character #with a buried alive subplot that should have been in s3 #fuck #I wanted floaty klaus but this is the price I paid #tua #the umbrella academy #spoilers #// negative #I even liked the take in ep 1 & 2 #a bit iffy but understandable #but then they just re wrote s1 klaus without any of the depth #not even the shit with Claire could save it because it was barely in there

who up seeing their disorder in a fictional character but feel like its not their place to put a name on it

#id have to be waterboarded before i can talk abt how i see a lot of my adhd and personality in mitsumi iwakura let alone post it #idk how to talk abt this without feeling like im talking over or invalidating ppls experiences relating with a character #someone was talking abt how ppl tie laios' autism to special interest and social difficulties but not much else which kinda flattens it #and then went into a respectful in depth analysis of other autistic behaviour that laios exhibits and it wasnt phrased meanly #its fascinating and important to me to hear someone explain a little bit abt traits that they recognized and often go overlooked #because it does help me learn more about it. but i think thats also where hesitancy kicks in when it comes to depicting it accurately #like i have adhd and some of my adhd symptoms overlap with autism (time blindness and pattern seeking behaviour) but that only means #it feels familiar to me even without having autism. on top of that traits arent always cleanly determined as being /caused/ by #a disorder. to understand my environment i compare it to something unrelated but similar to make it more familiar and for the longest time #i thought that was a personality thing and not an information processing thing since i loved playing pretend in my head as a kid #so if you make a character who experiences that hoping to reach people that also experience that and tell them its not weird or #smth youre making up like. thats the goal. ppl who dont get it arent expected to it just means it doesnt cater to them but it helps them #become familiar to it yk? since i dont have autism myself i dont feel confident i can depict it properly or explain it in my own words #but that doesnt mean im trying to dismiss it or try and cut it out completely.. ill just leave the floor open to someone who /can/#a lot of issues around fanon depictions are when smth is baselessly popularized or a characters personality and behavior is flattened #especially to fit them into a trending meme. its harmless and its supposed to be for fun but it gets tricky when you drag things that #need to be carefully explained beforehand or else it gets lost in translation. like that tweet abt 'hyperfixating' on cooking pasta #once it becomes popular language usually the original meaning is left out for the sake of simplifying it for everyone that when it #circles back theres a sort of hesitancy like. am i using it the way it was intended or am i unknowingly using the popularized version of it #actually thats probably why i felt wrongfooted during diagnosis bc it felt like i was misusing the words i heard to describe what i felt #i /know/ i see a lot of myself in mitsumi because our minds are always somewhere else and we tend to put good faith first and for me #that personal connection is enough. but idk it feels like its always gonna have to be 'palatable' first before i can talk abt it openly #mad respect to writers and creators who stick to their story even if theres the looming fear of ppl misinterpreting it and letting them #have it.. its been almost 2 weeks and i am so close to deleting that m3 dunmeshi drawing bc ppl keep saying chilchuck wouldnt have 200 HP #IT LITERALLY SAYS I MADE IT WHILE WATCHING EP 1. I USED EARTHBOUND LOGIC AND I WASNT EVEN TAKING IT SERIOUSLY CHILL #yapping

it honestly frustrates me when i see people reduce the ericsons cast down to "just some teens in the woods" acting like theyre no different than any other group of lone teenagers from other existing properties and treating them like an overused trope

it is sooo important to acknowledge the "troubled youth" aspect of the whole equation. theyre not just some random teens in the woods clem stumbles across. these kids were abandoned by their families for their various "difficulties" and fucked up by The System before the outbreak even began. and then once zombies started roaming the streets their familes never came back for them and the adults that were in charge of taking care of them just left them there to rot in that old boarding school (except for ms martin who was like their lee 🥺 the only person who ever saw them as the scared traumatized kids they were and died protecting them)

the whole aspect of them already being fucked up by the adults that controlled their lives is like.....kind of important when discussing the whole "delta is stealing kids to force them to fight in a war they have no real part in and want nothing to do with" aspect of the season. and its important when comparing them to clem and her journey of also suffering at the hands of the adults around her forcing her to become self reliant. AND its important when discussing the "just trying to build a safe home (and future) worth fighting for in this world that wants them dead" aspect of the season as well

these kids were forced to come together to survive. and a Lot of them didnt... theyre the only family they have left and you can tell that even when they argue with each other theyre still a close knit group who looks out for each other. theyre a Real family before clem even gets there (and its why what really happened with the twins and brody and marlon hits them all so especially hard)

all of this is what REALLY makes ericsons such a perfect home for clem. its a Real community of her True peers. theyre not Just teens. they mightve had a layer of safety clem never had by at least having walls to keep them safe. and having the benefit of the school being hard to find. its the only reason theyre still alive when clem shows up. but theyre also some of the only people who can Truly understand where clem and aj are coming from. and its why it hurts so much when they vote to kick them out. but its also partially why she merges back into the fold so easily when she returns. plus the fact that shes Really the only one who has any idea what shes doing. shes their rock and she makes them feel safe because underneath it all theyre still just those scared traumatized kids ("EVERYONE is scared, clem..." vi was Definitely including herself in that 'everyone'), and on some level, so is clem

they saved clementines life. and she saved theirs. "the school was supposed to help them with their trauma, now they help each other" its about the LOVE the COMMUNITY the SUPPORT!!!! and thats the shit that makes good zombie media honestly 👌

#it speaks #twdg #there i go again writing another essay but i will Always defend the ericson cast theyre one of the strongest out of all 4 seasons #complaints ive seen about s4 typically include mentions of the teens as a trope being overused and im like.......did you even pay attention #the fact they were branded “troubled youth” and basically thrown away by everyone who was supposed to take care of them is SO IMPORTANT #these kids are Fucked Up but theyre Trying to make a kinder world #nobody talk to me i fucking love the ericson cast 😭😭😭 theres not a single one of them i dont like im serious #them using poor pilgrim of sorrow in ep3....ericsons is heaven to clem 😭 all the comments she can make about feeling safe there 😭😭#clem being everyones rock but violet being clems rock back 🥺😭💕 waaaaahhh thats why it was over for me when vi stood up for them in ep 2 #vi having the courage to stand up to her group for aj........... yeah she had me in a vice grip after that. she fought for them so hard #and if it wasnt for her advocating so hard for them to stay they ALL would have been taken or killed #vi cared about clem so much she undoomed them all #and aj loved clem so much he undoomed her :')#s4 is just the perfect ending to clems story truly itll make me happy for the rest of my life im so happy for u clem 🥺#tfw the media you like gets a good ending and the main characters are respected and it feels like it was made from a place of love #instead of being like...actively hostile to its fanbase and destroying its own characters for the Laughs #and when i say “good” i dont necessarily mean “happy” i just mean “competently written"#i wouldnt call it perfect but it survived both a cancellation AND the financial collapse of a major game studio. its perfect to Me #for what it is (and what it originally almost was with the clems house plot) we truly lucked out so fucking hard #truly a return to form of season 1 but with less despair and more hope which i appreciate :')#all the things ive liked over the years that were destroyed for me by bad or weird writing decisions... clutches onto twdg like a lifeboat #god i love s4 so much nothing has ever been More Specifically Written For Me Personally

there are two types of game changer episodes to me

sam reich puts the cast thru his sick twisted mind games

sam reich takes ppl who are really good at a thing and let them go absolutely wild with it

#alli says shit #game changer #like i think the later seasons have some standouts for the latter #but even in the first season #'lie detector' is type 1 #the og 'make some noise' is type 2 (kinda)#i also feel like i thought of that second category thinking of like. special guests specifically #however stuff like 'i like my coffee' and 'a sponsored ep' count to me too #it's just are ppl having fun or are they gonna need to take a mental health day after this

I am once again watching soul eater and I forgot how fucking soft I am over soul/maka

#soul eater #soma #soul x maka #I’m on ep 9….#they both remind me of when I was a kid and catching feelings for the first time haha #I love this show so much #i think the reason I like soul/maka so much is 1. they remind me of rokushi #and 2. because they remind me of what it was like being a teenager #and caring about your friends so much but not knowing what to do #with all the hurt you hadn’t sorted out yet #to be that young and to care about someone that deeply when the world keeps trying to hurt them #maybe this show just feels like it takes adolescent feelings seriously and that’s why I latched onto it #and why I still find solace in it even as an adult now

I FUCKING LOVE IT WHEN MEDIA IS LIKE "yall like (trope), right? wanna see what that poor fucker would realistically be like?" AND MY ANSWER IS ALWAYS YES

#i fucking hate ranta from grimgar but thats bcus the writers like 'yall bakugo would continue sucking even if a teammate died'#the thesis of rantas character is 'assholes w a heart of gold dont exist theyre just assholes that you desperately want to not be assholes'#and i fuck w it #also high card szn 2 is doing this so good #chris in szn 1 was a p typical 'snarky asshole who acts reckless because hes so deeply fucked up' and dont get me wrong i love that trope #but then szn 2 comes along and goes 'yea but a character like that is gonna take sooooo soso long to do like any healing'#and you can tell he tries to put that act right back on but by ep 3 you can tell hes just so tired #hes fucking exhausted and cant keep up the act like he wants. he wishes everything including him could go back to normal but he just.#doesnt have it in him #rambling

柄本佑 || 「光る君へ」 (2024) · 第二十七回「宿縁の命」

#柄本佑 #tasuku emoto #光る君へ #hikaru kimi e #1x27 #made by me #fujiwara no michinaga #藤原道長 #okay first of all finally someone called out michinaga's bs #that the waka thing was all about vanity #way to go sanesuke #the way his face glowed up but tried his best to keep it cool & act reluctant when haruaki suggested 1 emperor 2 empresses #oh my god michinaga just say you want it #only with the mahiro part that he's still somehow saburo😢#but idk I'm not sure about the way Oishi sensei -- I dont even know how to put it into words #I think it really is the tackiest way of connecting these two together #sometimes I watch this show and certain parts make me feel like that she lives in a like Y2K east asian idol drama time-capsule #I feel a little bad for nobutaka - not that I feel I get to judge mahiro for that #certain humor in this ep is so crazy and genji like emon misunderstood Tomoko #and complained that it's too much to teach Akiko to moan during sex with tenno. omg ijbol so hard🤣#anyway artistically I love a bi-color episode #Tasuku's getting so friggin' THIN in the past few episodes #he did michinaga justice but I hope he takes care of himself

i had a long conversation w my sister about how the whole car thing in ep 6 is truly so pointed and insane like lestat got a car for louis and himself but not claudia even tho LESTAT was the one that taught her to drive so it's not like she doesn't how, it's just that he's not willing to extend that level of freedom/autonomy towards her. he would never give her a car of her own, she will always have to ask one of them to drive her or she'll just have to walk

#i also wonder about when lestat learned to drive #my personal headcanon is he learned to drive by watching louis bc in ep 1 he only walks and in the ep 2 louis's the primary driver #but by ep 4 lestat takes over that role so i think it's like how sam reid said that lestat's a mimic and can learn things via observation #he watched louis drive for a few months and was like i think i got the hang of this and then never let louis drive again #i would say he probably thought of it like a favor at the beginning like don't worry about it i'll drive you ☺️#but then it became an angle of control that louis didn't even realize he gave up #anyway: cars #vampterview

I'm just a girl standing in front of the Elena of Avalor S3 timeline begging for it to make even a little logical sense.

#elena of avalor #honestly the only way it does is if we assume that the various avaloran holidays take place in radically different months #than their real-world counterparts #like if we assume that carnaval matches its real world equivalent #"the magic within' takes place in feb-march #but the very next episode is the final dias de los muertos one #which by real world standards is beginning of november #so you're telling me that after the massive fallout of carnaval; absolutely nothing happened for like 7-10 months(!)#and then pretty much all of the next few important episodes happen b/w Nov and Dec (assuming hannukah is also at its real world time)#so like elena spends an intense period of like 1-2 months being just completely fixated on esteban #(i mean girl; same but come on)#after having spent like nearly a year forgetting he even exists?#and then has her nice little winter holiday break #and forgets about him for a month or two in between #only to just suddenly without much logical reason just become obsessed w/ him and ash again for an ep or two #and then forgets about him again #because the plot demands it #i mean like tbf all the flores cousins read to me as neurodivergent to some degree #so i guess it makes a little sense that she'd fall in and out of hyperfocus and get distracted by other fun things #but like i feel like the situation is a bit more intense/important/demanding than just a regular special interest waxing and waning a bit #i mean the real answer is that at least some of the filler episodes were aired waaaayyy out of order #maybe we're meant to see carnaval as not actual carnaval time? but like a big random party in like july or aug??#so like elena still ignores the plot for way too long but at least its like less than 6 months and not more #and it is making plotting s3 era fic very very hard #since it's very tricky to find the right spot to set things

not 2 be a "bad" "feminist" but like. okay I know the guy who plays Nate is problematic and etc, but like. like I tried to like Leverage Redemption, but it just. is too flanderized and doesn't quite manage to like both write real-feeling characters nor grasp the charm that made Leverage "work" for me, so like. watching Leverage Redemption mostly has me wincing, and like. does not hold the same place in my heart that Leverage does....

#the thing about leverage redemption for me is #is everyone is just. too 2d #and it has the same problem of sequels where it's like. it takes place in the future so it feels like it *should*#progress from where we left things off??#but instead it like. has to regress things back at least a few steps so there's a place to go again #and it's just. doesn't do it for me #and also the characterization feels so flanderized. it feels like when ur reading the popular fic in a fandom #where it's like. so fanon heavy. and everyone has like 1 or 2 flanderized character traits....#and even the baddies in leverage redemption feel too 2d #like. even the most 2d of the leverage baddies was at least 2.5d. like they threw an extra thing in there that made them feel more 'real'#idk man idk!!! I just. would rather rewatch leverage for the character writing and the plot #it's just. Leverage Redemption also somehow manages to create more problems in like the sj-issues axis #that somehow leverage didn't have despite very much also being a product of its time #like sorry leverage redemption but the problem with making the indian guy the bad guy in that episode #is that you positioned parker as the one diametrically against him #and she's like. a blond White Woman playing old money 8)#like at least in the sweatshop ep of Leverage the 'main client' was a Chinese rep of a Chinese advocacy group #advocating for a Chinese woman who was being taken advantage of #urhghghghghghghg #maybe if I take another look at Leverage Redemption I will find it charming instead of cringely try-hard lmao... :')#sorry to be so mean to Leverage Redemption but the attempts at namedropping character beats just came off too flanderization :')#and poorly placed :') to me :')#*

A Second seemed to be the nicest to saenai #like OBVI she was still mean to him too but 1.) she seemed the /least/ mean and was nice to him about the dinner during the bomb ep #2.) she actually stepped in to /try/ to defend him for the whole game fiasco like. :((((((#i really wish there was A Turning Point for the family and saenai or that theyd start to appreciate him more #like there were SO many small moments where it seemed like Oh Theyre Going To Start Appreciating Him Right and then just. 🧍‍♂️#ITS A COMEDY SHOW IK I SHOULD TAKE THIS LIGHTLY but i really cant... we know how i get about family dynamics....#like haneko wasnt perfect that idol ep was WILD but still.... i really like her for those moments ngl LMAO #she was still bratty but hey. ty for the like Three Times you were nice to your dad i really appreciate it #BIG RIP THAT MY LAST NOTE ON THE SHOW WAS LIKE. BITCHING FORGIVE ME #i bitch because i love it. well not THAT but i loved the show i wanted better for my guy..#esp when that seemed to be The Thesis right with the whole 'you cant even help your family' and whatnot in the first ep #the LOUDEST sigh of my life But I Still Loved The Show Otherwise #the office scenes were so goofy i love section 3's dynamic..... gotta keep em together amrite <- no one is ever getting promoted #my big phat salaryman review.........

Okay so Ami is finally airing some pretty serious feelings to Rei here, and I'll get to that, but...

Usagi, why are you running all the way to Makoto's flat? YOU HAVE PHONES

#tirorah rewatches pgsm #pgsm ep 16 #this doesn't take that long so I guess Makoto just happens to live 1-2 minutes of running distance from this building or something #but phoning her is probably faster than running to her flat first Usagi #I mean it's not like you told her to mute your calls or anything...did you?#...is that a thing the Teletia S can do?#can you even turn the thing off?#this is the lore I need to know

Wait what’s Ash/Eiji and Hojo/Tokai like and how does it fit into RGG ships?

Without getting into spoiler territory for either:

Ash and Eiji are the quintessential "Sun and Moon" pairing we see all the time in RGG, but it's all about tragedy and catharsis. The inseparable bond that is separable, but isn't, but is. Being able to work through trauma but also being so traumatized you cannot and will not help yourself, which dooms any possibility of a stable relationship.

But within that, moments of vulnerability, of living the lives you could've had from the beginning if you'd met in another life. And hanging on to the belief you will meet in another life. I don't think there's anything quite like it in RGG (mostly because, well, it is a BL), which is why I say it's more "the appeal" of many RGG pairings in terms of what the fandom likes to explore the most.

Tokai and Hojo on the other hand... it's one of those "bromances," you know, that many wouldn't really take as being that deep, but it's exactly what the previous ask describes: a weirdo/really cool nerd with their obsessor who’s dying to suck their face off. Literally.

It combines a multitude of things: Tokai is at once the mentor, the antagonist, the invaluable ally, the devoted subordinate, the thorn in one's side, the comic relief, the Depraved Bisexual. Any and every character in RGG whose key characteristics are chaos, devotion, hypercombativity, and/or hypersexuality is more than likely based on him, and said characters make up one half of a huge chunk of RGG pairings. I haven't finished Sanctuary yet, so I don't know how things end up, but it's pretty self-evident where the influences lie.

#asks #anonymous #banana fish #sanctuary #ash lynx #eiji okumura #akira hojo #tokai #take what i said about ash/eiji with a grain of salt i barely remember the anime and. honestly didn't really care about the relationship #except in 1 or 2 eps #like they were fine i just wasn't really pressed about whether they end up together or not. you know.#tokai and hojo on the other hand should not end up together under any circumstances they're both freaks and WILL make each other worse <3 #but yeah like. a fuckton of rgg pairings are sun/moon dynamics and/or form around trauma and/or devotion #and even when they're not /pairings/ the dynamics and conflicts are still present. you know.#literally almost everything in rgg can be boiled down to either tokai and hojo or hojo and asami i'm so serious #this isn't even remotely coherent i just. tokai is one of the guys of all time #it's hard to boil down how he and hojo and asami's Essence is woven into the fabric of rgg because it's more like...#in what ways does it NOT relate. you know. so it's kind of something you have to experience yourself #also obvi this is focused on m/m pairings m/f and f/f pairings aren't really at all alike
