#I only trust the animators

[rexxdjarin]

I am royally pissed about everything live action Star Wars rn. (Animation this isn’t about you bby you guys are ok rn)

I have basically no faith in what’s being made going forward. I think Disney executives have destroyed everything good about Star Wars. Pandering to the worst parts of the fandom in order to make money rather than tell new exciting and diverse stories. Rather than put their all into a universe of equally good and important shows that exist to serve a cohesive narrative.

I think the streaming wars and corporate greed have finally ruined the creativity behind Star Wars and I genuinely don’t know how we move on from here.

Using the word cancelled when no other Star Wars show has had second season rumors explicitly shut down like this is intentionally nasty.

Removing a fan favorite character from important timeline events because the same bitter miserable people hate bombed his standalone show despite the actor being enthusiastically and willingly committed to the character is downright insulting to the actor himself AND all the writers who clearly had an intended purpose for the character.

I genuinely don’t know how we move forward as a fanbase. I don’t know how this gets fixed other than to just stop watching or demand a break until justice is done for all the concerns we have.

I’m tired of people treating Star Wars like it has to be Oscar worthy cinema or it’s garbage not worth making. I’m tired of our intelligence being insulted to cater to troglodytes whose surface level understanding of this piece of media amounts to pew pew cool lightsaber battles.

I’m just so fucking tired of hoping they will do right by all the truly great potential this universe has and being let down every time.

"i don't ship laios and marcille-" oh yeah same, their relationship is so much more compelling to me viewed through a platonic lens than a romantic one

"-like, marcille clearly hates laios" are we reading/watching the same series??? did you just stop after the first couple chapters??? look at their relationship development, that's her friend! her bestie, even!!!

I'd like to take a moment to point out to detractors of ships involving Laios who feel that "Laios wouldn't take any interest in people!" that he'd hyperfixated on Shuro so badly it was ruining the man's life lmao

My wildest dream is for Dropout.tv to start venturing into scripted content with an animated series for Fantasy High

It's a big shame the anime skipped the 2nd half of Kuusuke's monologue from chapter 178. Some people tend to misinterpret this scene, and this part makes it even more clear that Kuusuke was very much in the wrong.

"Kuusuke won and destroyed Teruhashi" No, he fully lost. He basically acknowledges that himself as well.

all the tme intersex people i used to know suddenly jumping on the newest transmisogynistic bandwagon and immediately spewing all the same “ur just overreacting, you call everything transmisogyny, stop being hysterical!!!” bullshit really puts into perspective how the intersex community on here gained any traction to begin with, y’all are not immune to pulling the same bullshit perisex people do and you’re calling the intersex transfems arguing against you perisex??? just to let afabs pretend to be us so you have that idealized quiet trans woman again, like i’m sorry but this is a strawman on par with “white trans woman” nothing has changed and at some point you need to realize that your conception of what these terms mean just doesn’t reflect their actual rhetorical use in real conversations about queerness

I started reading beastars so now HE's reading beastars .wait

my personal semi-serious interpretation of the Ponyta line is that the Galarian versions are actually the originals and the Kantonian regionals are an evolutionary adaption to keep people they deem not pure of heart from trying to ride on their backs

this horse does NOT want you to put a saddle on it

Pochontas (1995)

wiggins meta under the cut

here's the thing: ratcliffe is constantly being explained as a representation of the forces of greed and racism and colonialism/imperialism (arguably this can translate to capitalism as well), but what about wiggins? what is his role? he most obviously plays the role of the Fool, and provides a character for ratcliffe to have consistent dialogue with. but what does he represent?

i have a theory that wiggins is meant to represent the ethnic english, the culture of the english, and the willing servitude of the english to the evils of imperialism/greed/racism in exchange for a sense of superiority and security. wiggins is, paradoxically, both above and below the settlers in terms of status. he's a servant, but he serves the highest ranking man there. he's a yes-man, but he's also brutally truthful (spelling out for the audience ratcliffe's motivations and the immorality of the settler's presence and actions).

wiggins is also a caricature of the english to a T: he resembles many a self-styled stereotype of the typical englishman in english comedies. he's prim, a bit fussy, obsessed with gardening, a bit oblivious and silly and somewhat incessantly cheery. he's drawn, also, like an english caricature. his teeth and upturned nose in particular stand out to me.

the line "and he came so highly recommended" from each of these characters is so fascinating because of this because it highlights the mutual consent of these two allegorical characters to be involved with each other and subscribe to a master-servant dynamic, wherein ratcliffe has invested in wiggins to be useful and efficient, and wiggins has invested in ratcliffe to provide security both financially and socially. ratcliffe find's wiggins's personality (the cultural quirks of the english) trite and unnecessary. wiggins found ratcliffe's extremity to ultimately be outside of his own best interests once it could no longer protect him (ratcliffe being no longer able to provide the status and security once he was put in chains).

we can't be sure if wiggins has truly learned a lesson, however. he remains in America with some of the other settlers instead of returning to his homeland. we don't know what he intends to do there, or why he's made this choice. perhaps he's going to try turning over a new leaf and assimilate to a new society. perhaps he's going to try and influence his way into a similar position as before. in any case, we know wiggins's core motive is always going to be self-preservation. what that looks like without ratcliffe and the protections of aggressive imperialism, we simply don't know.

I need to post this to artfight, and also polish it a little- the colors and designs are so utterly off- but for now here’s the wip :] @allyheart707
