#I usually don't rant like this

[magnusbae]

Never in my life did I watch something quite as ridiculous, pointless, without any coherent sense of direction or self as The Acolyte. Start to finish it created its own 'threats' and 'issues' to artificially stimulate a plot that never had a single point to be made. What on earth were they thinking? Nothing in this series follows its own internal logic. The character motivations are all over the place and often simply contradict themselves within the same episode. The intrigue and the foreshadowing all come to a null when the reveals literally are not in par with what was implied and just generally--- what on earth? You cannot say I did not come open minded. Watched all the episodes, given it grace and opportunity time and time again to prove itself but--- no, no it's actually just the worst tv show I've ever seen, and that's a serious claim as I watched quite a few bad ones I enjoyed more than I did this one. Don't even get me started on how fundamentally lacking they are in understanding what the Jedi are and who they are as an entity, there was no idea of the self or the values or even codes of the Jedi in this show. Something that could have been such a wonderful and intriguing show, with visuals we all were craving (Jedi Temple) it ended up being below mid-show, shot almost in its whole entirety on a planet that looks 100% like earth with zero intriguing visuals or anything to justify the monstrous budget they had to burn through. Wow, kudos on creating something so empty of meaning I am not even angry after watching it, only baffled that someone actually wrote it and someone actually thought it was good enough to film. Damn.

anadius has made it so so easy and safe for people to obtain ts4 and all of its packs without paying for them and i really wish more people knew about this bc the only way to get EA to pay attention to the terrible state of the game is to literally stop giving them money, 🏴‍☠️ the packs to keep playing the game u enjoy but know they only care about appeasing their shareholders/investors/whatever they are and they're all driven by money and have very little interest in the playable state of the game in terms of bugs and features unless the game is so broken that people are actively demanding refunds in mass or just not buying the packs at all.

I miss people using non-medicalized terms for other people's passions

like. well and good to talk about "hyperfixations," "special interests [in the context of an autistic person's favorite subject]," or "infodumping" if you have ADD/ADHD or autism, or are talking about someone who is, but...that's not everyone who feels strongly about something, obsesses, or loves talking about their interests. those words mean specific things, associated with specific forms of neurodivergence

don't assume everyone is comfortable with that language

"rambling" is a word; so is "ranting." "obsession" is a word. "passion" is a word. learn them and use them

Meeting Clara (but happy and cannon)

i had full intentions of coloring this. but that would take forever and i reached my limit as far as this comic goes a while ago. i have no idea what it was, but this comic fought me every step of the way. It didn't matter if i was having a good art day or not, as soon as i opened this document, i'd struggle.

But it's done now. so there's that

"I'm sick of people portraying this character as-" "I'm tired of seeing-" "I'm tired of fics where-"

okay then WRITE YOUR OWN. if you don't like the way others write your favorite characters, if you don't like certain tropes or scenarios, if you don't like certain headcanons, you're not obligated to read any of it. you are free to write your own shit. nothing is stopping you. fanfic writers don't owe you anything, and neither do authors, showrunners, etc. we're not here to cater to your own special little headcanons. we're here to tell stories we'd like to see and share them with people who want to see them. that's all. so stop complaining, and go make your own.

Ok this may be nitpicking but my problem with the whole "Father's love" Is that your father Is the reason your sister is death, the whole reason y'all went to war... They casted you away because you didn't want Lilith to die...

The thing Is that Father's love Is not unconditional, If you didn't started the war, your sister would have died anyways, for the crime of loving a human too much, he practially made you choose between your loyalty to him or your love for your sister. Thats why Lucifer whole speech of "All Father did was love me, but I couldn't see It" feels shallow, because It undermines the tragedy of falling from the CR in the first place. Like If Seraph Lucifer had fallen in love with a human, he would probably had the same fate as Lilith. Simeon Is stripped of His own angelhood in S3/S4 for stealing the ring of light to save MC, so it's not like the CR Is better in the future or anything

I think Its unrealistic to expect OBM to put Father/God as this 100% Bad guy (with the whole uniting the three realms and all that) but also I feel like Lucifer should have more complicated feeling about this. I don't doubt Father loved him, but I don't think the conclusion of Lucifer arc should be that "All my Father did was love me but I was too prideful to see it"

i don't think everybody realizes just how amazing it would be if gege made megumi loving itadori canon. like i'm so serious (and well beyond delusion), gege has dropped WAY too many hints and nods to megumi being in love w itadori. i don't care much for the ship being canon itself i suppose, i just want gege act on his developed character. he would make shonen history, with how popular his animanga is and the fact that megumi is a MAIN character, if he were to confirm megumi's obvious queerness. he could change the face of shonen with this, and i'm afraid that he's too much of a coward to face the music.

I just noticed Mephisto matches with Barbatos (who is matchy with Diavolo) in the anniversary outfits in his SSR memory card

These three were also the only three who had half masks in the masquerade event!!!

Anyway, The Royals with Mephisto chat group when? We got one for Purgatory Hall with Raphael..... it's just fair !!

And one for Mephisto and Diavolo as well, but also one for Mephisto and Barbatos too. because you can't tell me their relationship isn't deeper than the devs portray when Mephisto has lines like this about Barbatos's room:

i need the murder time trio to drink eachother's blood after causing an injury. that's so romantic in both my eyes and theirs. i need them to bite eachother and claw at eachother and injure eachother and hurt. and then when they try to patch eachother up make the injury hurt more before finally wrapping it up with a bandaid and a kiss or a lingering glance or DARE I SAY a hug (because imo a hug is much more vulnerable than a kiss). peak of romantism i dare say

i need them to use violence against eachother as a way to keep them grounded or to just let out anger towards eachother i need dust to gouge out horror's eye and then give horror his own to replace it. i need horror to squeeze killer's soul until he can feel the pain but in exchange killer gets to use a knife inside his head i want killer and dust to fight everyday and soon their bones will be littered with scars of the other's attacks I NEED THEM TO HURT EACHOTHER!!!!!!

they share pain and release anger and frustration and all that stuff onto eachother but dw dw this is how they love. but they do genuinely dislike eachother (because no matter how much they love one another they STILL can never manage to get over their differences and that's what makes them PEAK) but they also care for the other two and in their fucked up minds this is a good relationship. not because its not toxic because it definitely fucking is but because everyone is satisfied

i love murder time trio poly

It is so hard trying to read Daryl fic cause like... the premise is there and they a have good potential.

But absolutely no one in this fandom can write his accent.

They always stick to the term "ya" for "you" but that is such a conditional usage word!

When it comes to how he talks you really have to mix in some plan "you"s and simple "y'(word)"s and when it comes to "your" you need some "yer"s in there too (again it's conditional).

When writing his accent and dialect specifically, I find it helps to say what you're writing outloud.

The term "ya'" is a actually pretty clunking when using it in most dialog situations cause how he says it has a longer vowel sound and pause than simply saying "you".

And this one may be a bit nit-picky but "ta'" is such a... choice to substitute "to". Just use "t'" and "t'(verb)".

When in doubt with Daryl's accent, drop longer sounds, words ending in "ing" really just end in "in'", and don't be afraid to push words together with apostrophes!

There're similarities with his accent and mine and it just irks me so much that people write every southern accent the same.

alright everybody can we please stop tagging me/talking about me in the notes of pro keefe/sokeefe posts. i know strieefe has made it so that it's really funny to talk about how much i love him and how much i'm in denial when i say negative things about him under those posts (and that's all in good fun and not the problem), but we have to think about the fact that the ops are just trying to make a positive post and probably don't want a keefe hater in their notes /srs

I wish the deleted ending for TQoN was the real ending and not what we got in the mortal world.

I think my very least favorite Doppio and Diavolo fanon thing are the ones that depict one of them (usually Doppio) "killing" the other one by taking pills or going to therapy. Sometimes it's a shitpost and other times it's framed like a serious thing but it's irritating either way

Like sure if we're attempting realism, dissociative disorder alters fusing/changing/going dormant/etc. are things that can happen (though you can't just Kill alters with therapy like that and there are certainly no pills for that lol...) but you know none of those people meant it like that. It's just the "taking schizophrenia meds and my girlfriend disappears" type shit. Awful

(Also it really doesn't even make sense in-universe because Doppio and Diavolo are literally two souls, I can't imagine there could be any "killing" of one of them with anything like therapy or imaginary Evil Split Personality medication. But you know.)

in the future, I cannot sink almost 3 hours of my workday into dissections and discussions of What Is Wrong With Our Place of Employment. First of all, I have other things I need to do; second of all, I say things about our boss or certain colleagues that might be slightly impolitic, and that's a particular tendency I've got to nip in the bud.

I think the problem with live action adaptations is that we really don't want them.

People are looking for every way to hate these shows and movies because we love the originals so much. We're starved for new, original content that's genuine and not just a cash grab.

Stop dragging past material back for alright to mediocre stuff that really doesn't do anything new. Give us NEW SHIT. Have these big production companies forgotten how to like... make up a story?

The LA avatar is ok. Just ok, where the original was fenominal. It has the same story beats, but just feels kinda hollow. PJO had a lot of the same issues.

Also Percy Jackson should have been a 2D animated series I mean COME ON. Animation has been valued less and less lately and it's just really sad.

The only exception to my ranting is the One Piece LA those guys somehow did it SO right. I never thought I'd love a live action remake before that.
