SMTV spoilers + incredibly mild SMTVV spoilers under the cut
I'm just kind of disappointed in how little character Aogami has even just in the original game. Atlus had such a banger opportunity to give us literally ANYTHING on his character outside "I will protect you, young man." and we get mere crumbs of him trying to reach his own identity outside being a robot and protofiend and artificial being. what makes it even worse for me is that there is really and truly nothing about his character or disposition or being that gives me "Susano'o" vibes. He's just blue and has electric and ice skills and nothing else. There's some VERY mild stuff in VV that gives us more of an idea, but it's really incredibly missable. I think SMT:V and VV both have this underlying issue where they tell you the story with exposition without actually showing you the story and only giving you the resolution of a character without any of the buildup. We go from 0-100 but like. Where was 30? Where was 65? Why we going so fast? I love Aogami. I love SMTVV. it's like my favorite megaten tbh. But I would fix it tbh.

idk about you guys but i'm gonna miss this show so much ...
i had such low expectations because recently m4rvel hasn't really put out the greatest stuff ever (with a few honorable exceptions) but ... this show...
OH. MY. GOD.
everything was perfect - from the cast to the setting, from the plot all the way to the music, the themes developed and the references to past mcu projects. most importantly, the message it shares is, at the end, one of hope and love. no matter how hard things get, no matter how many trials you have to pass, no matter who you lose along the way or what you have to sacrifice, there is love and joy and hope at the end. you can make your dreams come true.
i'm sorry i'm just so emotional. maybe it's because i'm personally living a pretty challenging period of my life, but i guess i do treasure this series. i truly have loved everything about it and it definitely holds a special place in my heart from now on.
#agatha all along#marvel mcu#mcu#let's not talk about the music#that freaking song is not just a banger but the only thing agatha has left of this timr with nicky#although it is terrible she used to sing it to kill other witches and get more power#it also reminded her of her son each time she sang the words ... in the end it was her son who came up with them#this will forever make me sob#especially if you link it back to alice and her mother using the song as a protective spell on her#istg this show is fundamentally about motherhood and family and queerness and self-discovery#i am at a loss for words#happy to note though that marvel finally gave rio and agatha kissing !!!!!#(it doesn't matter that's how she died)#(also because she didn't fully die)#i'm about to cry#i'm sorry for rambling#4771#ally rambles

You know what I find almost... IDK, sad but funny, I guess--when it comes to the SJM/ACOTAR fandom?
The ship wars.
I remember a time (an age ago and in other fandom circles) where everyone was just "ship and let ship". We all had our faves, our OTPs and even our NOTPS. We all had our PREFERENCES and opinions and like-- that's just normal human nature. What one person likes, another will not, and vice versa.
There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with such a thing!
But what the ACOTAR fandom reminds me so much of is the OUAT fandom when it comes to ships. And damn, that was a nasty time. A horrible time (a lot like what SJM's books bring out in people today on the internet).
Because it became about attacking people, hating on people, thinking one side was dumb or delusional or stupid and it was just downright HATEFUL. The whole "us versus them" mentality was sickening and, while that, too, is part of human nature (sadly), at the end of the day, it all boiled down to one thing:
It was all FICTION, and some people were outright hating on/insulting REAL PEOPLE over such things.
The ACOTAR fandom gives me major flashbacks to that OUAT time. Just saying.
So here's the basic thing I've learned after time in many different fandoms, after many different ships and faves and whatnot:
Stay in your lane. Ship and let ship. Canon will be whatever it is (it might be "your" ship and it might be "their" ship, who knows; that's the AUTHOR'S/WRITERS' decision), but you know what the fucking beautiful thing about fandom is--
WE CAN DO (AND SHIP) WHATEVER AND WHOMEVER THE HELL WE WANT.
I'm gonna use OUAT since that canon is over, whereas ACOTAR is still-ongoing for an example. Canon-wise? Captain Swan (Killian/Emma) ended up together, happily ever after.
Did that mean those who shipped Swan Queen were wrong? That they couldn't participate in fandom? That they were somehow stupid or whatever other insult one side hurled at the other?
Fuck no. Swan Queen fans got from the story what they wanted, and there is nothing at all wrong with them continuing stories and art and whatnot with those characters and ships. Same for Captain Swan. The beauty of fandom is that shared ENJOYMENT of a source material and the potential to "what if" our way anywhere and everywhere.
Personally, I feel there's more story telling potential in an Elriel story than an Elucien story, but you know what? If SJM writes the book and it turns out Elucien, I have absolute faith in her that she will make the story work. That it will be written in a way for me to see it better (I mean, c'mon, lots of opinions changed on Nesta herself after ACOSF so let's be honest... it's bound to do the same with Elain in her book.)
But also-- whichever way it turns out (Elucien, Elriel, whatever), that is one version of the canon story. You want to ship the hell out of the other version? Fucking go for it!
Quit insulting each other for what one person likes/enjoys and just-- enjoy your stuff.
#acotar#sjm#elriel#elucien#elain#azriel#lucien vanserra#reading#stories#fantasy#books#fandom#ship wars#ouat#fandom discourse#ramblings of a mad woman#personal#okay that got a long longer than I initially intended#I'm sorry for rambling#But yeah just--#enjoy what you enjoy and stay in your lane and ultimately remember that there are LIVING humans on the other side

I guess random talk/advertisment of an AU. Uhh yeah I've created a good deal of a Epic Mickey AU called "Blood & Ink". Like there's this fanfic which is a prototype/pilot introduction TO the AU
In the tags "Blood & Ink AU" will also fetch you like ALL of the posts/info dumps I've made of this. But one of the things I'm wondering is will there be even an audience for this? My plan is to create a several chapter story following Oswald trying to grasp powers he doesn't understand and deal with his own emotional state and how unstable it is since a running theme of the AU is "hate" and hos it can twist and change one's perspective on not just people but their overall mentality on life.
One small problem with this: THIS IS GONNA GET GOREY!
Like obviously it's a fanfiction, it's a story, it's not gonna be done in art form. IMO written gore isn't as bad as drawn gore—even me with a GREAT imagination just doesn't find descriptions alone as good as physically imagery. But gore is still gore and extreme violence even in written form may put off some people because like, I ain't going easy. I mention how Yen Sid does get burned alive and while he DOES come back that doesn't take away from the planned scene where Bendy creates an oven outta ink, Skitzo turns a crank to pump in gas, CD locks him in, and CC lights it with a match. Something like that may repulse people and while it isn't necessarily important to the story it does set the tone because the entire fic is DARK, but it still has some comedic value and is supposed to be a meaningful tale.

I think it was a good thing that I stuck around a support server, even with me, not talking most of the time I'm there.
It really gives comfort while my issues are coming back full force once more.
#I don't talk about might having a personality disorder much#because I flip flop around on if I have it or not because of my belief in me having some degree of autism#which can exhibit similar to same symptoms#I haven't gone anywhere to officially diagnose nor will I even because of stigma and being treated differently in doing so.#it sucks but it's how it is#I keep it mainly undefiled but it's mostly likely bpd if it's true be it fits the bill the most#i'm sorry for rambling#just want to let it all out#mental illness#life#lev.txt

You know what's the worst combination?
Liking characters and shippings and maybe even like... the aesthetic? of a certain game/series/book/movie/whatever
But not liking the game, movie,... at all.
Like. Now you're stuck with liking the characters and wanting to look though content with them and want to make some content yourself and maybe you're even thinking about them a lot but you don't wanna buy merch or talk a lot about them (even if deep inside you, you kind of want to do these things) because then you have to explain that you like the characters/ships but not the freaking media itself.
So you have this very weird relationship with the media.
#It's awful#This is the case with mainly Sally Face for me#I love love love Sal and Travis and Salvis and I like Larry and some content of the game#But my hypersensitive ass can't handle the game at all#Watched the game play#Nearly threw up upon seeing meat that day and got thrown into OCD spirals#Still have OCD compulsions and obsessions which are Sally Face themed#But I love the some of the characters#So I'm stuck between not being able to handle the game and being awfully scared of it but also wanting to repost and make#some content about it and also wanting to talk a lot about it#it has a very weird place in my heart. But it certainly has a place in my heart.#I'm sorry for rambling#I was out of the fandom for years ever since watching the game play but my sister grabbed me at my hair and pulled me back into it#2 days ago#:(((#It's a complicated love/hate relationship#Stay tuned to see if I start to like it or if I crawl out of the fandom again#Sally face#my rambles#my rantings#ocd problems#problems#fandom#headcanons#my stuff#I feel like ripping my hair out#kuni's ramblings

i can't lie to you i loveee bad endings sometimes. what if nothing worked out. what if the characters gave into their worst instincts. what if they became worse. what if there's truly no hope left. what will they do out of desperation? who will they become as their worst selves?

I think, perhaps one of the funniest things to come from EPIC popularising the Odyssey is that now a ton of people think Poseidon wanted to kill Odysseus.
In the Odyssey, Poseidon has no intention of killing Odysseus. In fact, part of the whole reason Zeus lets Poseidon do whatever he wants even though he thinks Odysseus is rad and should get to kiss his wife is explicitly because Poseidon had no intentions of killing Odysseus. Poseidon wanted to pay back the suffering/inconvenience blinding Polyphemus would have caused. It's a really abstract thing tbh. How do you pay back someone permanently disabling your son? Poseidon's solution was just to amputate Odysseus from his other half; i.e. Penelope. The end game was never murder, it was always an endurance race.
(Od. Book 1: Zeus reassuring Athena that he is not, in fact, a part of Odysseus Hater-Nation. Trans. Robert Fagles)
Also, for those wondering if there's any sort of in text reason for why Poseidon wasn't around in God Games - at the time in the Odyssey when Athena petitions Zeus to let Odysseus leave Calypso's island, Poseidon was -checks notes- on vacation in Ethiopia. Yep. He left to Ethiopia for a festival and thusly was very much absent for Athena's whole "please let Ody go? Please? 🥺" request.
(Od. Book 1: While Odysseus was suffering, Poseidon went to party in the east)
I am begging y'all to read the Odyssey. It's a comedy for everyone except Odysseus and Penelope who are, in fact, suffering 24/7 365.
#ginger rambles#ginger chats about greek myths#Sorry for the quality of the quotes but I'm too tired to google a pdf vers of the Odyssey and then edit those so y'all are getting#my crunchy pictures from one of my physical copies of the book lol#it's reiterated multiple times that Poseidon doesn't want Odysseus dead too#he is literally just driving him mad on the ocean because that's what Odysseus condemned Polyphemus to by blinding him#Also there's no good way to mention this but the Odyssey starts#by Zeus lamenting how mortals blame all their troubles and miseries on the gods when that's just not fair#because the gods go out of their way to warn the mortals that will be saddled with the most wretched fates#and they ignore the gods and do whatever they want anyway LMFAO#It's a really smart way to tie in the whole Orestes plot that would have wrapped up in between Odysseus getting stranded on Ogygia#and Odysseus getting off of Ogygia#epic the musical#epic the wisdom saga#zeus#athena#odysseus#poseidon#the odyssey

Ultimately the resolution of Jason and Cass fights comes down to the fact that while he has his own ideals that don't mesh with the bats, Jason can be flexible. DC skipped the whole reconciliation with the family but while he's willing to kill it's generally a means to an end to him, not the whole entire point unless you're talking about Joker. Meanwhile for Cass the question of killing vs not killing is dead serious to her which means any time they're working together and things start going off track it's like:
Jason: Look if we kill this guy we send a message to his boss which makes it easier for us to negotiate with him from a position of power and I just think that-
Cass, snatching one of his guns and pointing it at her own head: Go on, pull the trigger. Kill him. Kill me. Go tell Batman that you let his daughter die to make a negotiation easier. He already let you die so no problem right? You think we should die? You think our life only worthwhile as part of a plan, just because we're killers? Are we doomed? Are we rotten to the core with no hope of redemption? Go on then, kill us and kill part of your soul alongside it. You clearly don't care for it so why are you even trying? Kill yourself along with us, come on Jason let's all just die right?
Jason, slowly backing away: I think you may be projecting a tiny bit so just. Calm down before I call the suicide hotline please.
Cass, slowly lowering the gun and knocking the random henchman unconscious: Yeah that's what I thought, fucking pussy.
Jason: Mm yeah you know what I hate you actually. Fuck this mission I'll just shoot you right now if you're going to be this annoying about it.
Jason, explaining things later to Dick: So I just kept shooting at her until I ran out of bullets and we both calmed down enough to call a truce. We tracked the guy down and didn't kill anyone but I did blow up the batplane just as a last minute screw you. Is she always this uh... intense?
Dick: Yeah, one time I broke up with Barbara and she threw me out a window. She's just like that.
#dc#cassandra cain#jason todd#batfam#dc rambles#dick grayson#it's so funny how jason is like. a mass murderer. and yet he's more of a team player than cass#like yeah he's violent and unpredictable but if you're on the same team with the same temporary goal then you've got decent chances#meanwhile the entire team could be seconds away from dying with the only solution being to kill a guy with a bomb#and if you're on the team with cass she'll spend the last few seconds punching you in the face for trying to kill the evil guy#then disarming the bomb because she's just that annoying#I love her very much <3#i'm jason posting a lot recently sorry jtodd stans for clogging up his tag#I just like the thought of jason dealing with a mini bruce that has none of the baggage of being his dad#so it's just the experience of ramming his head into an annoying brick wall with zero catharsis of confronting your shitty father

I don't know how other people feel on this, but i'm honestly so tired of the model for dropping a full season of episodes in one day for a new show or a continuing season. How is anyone suppose to build hype and story anticipation from episode to episode and how does that help with wait time in between seasons or the people making the show? So frustrating how that's considered a norm.
If a show season is already out there and done, obviously binge to your hearts content, you do what you wanna do with the time you have for leisurely watching of course. I just don't think the drop and run format for a whole season on a single day or even in a single week is a healthy practice for animation and I wish studios and investors would reconsider.

I really like the implication that Grim also stands as a proxy for the prefect therefore he's legally obligated to stand beside Malleus at all times in merch.
I mean he wasn't even included in the Playful Land wall scroll because Malleus isn't there hfjskskw
Like he's really serious in adopting this fat gray cat.
MalleYuu + their baby Grim:

I'm just going to say fuck it and accept that I'm dyslexic without an official diagnose.
I got to stop beating myself up and thinking I'm stupid because it can't read or write good, the people that should have helped me didn't. The school itself gave me a vague ass label, and my parents don't give two shits. My grandma is the only one trying to understand my inner workings with it.
I found my own ways to help my own self without others help.
#Not everyone is gifted with the same kind of mind#like not everyone will be right handed#But by god do people like to ignore the fact someone is different to make them do stuff that most can do without good accommodate#It's either you get babied along or you kick to the curb and told to figure it out there's rarely a middle#you just get othered and if you do in fact find another way that helps others might get mad and tell you that you can't do that and/or -#that your doing it all wrong#I'm sorry for rambling#Just trying to heal from how school treated me and how my parent neglected me...

Laios: people are hard to understand... There's way too many social rules to follow, popular conversation topics, eye contact, etc. They also rarely say what they mean and often they say the opposite, so much so that misunderstandings happen regularly.. Monsters are predictable animals with a set of rules and precautions you can follow to either tame or defeat them. if you know what to do, they're very easy to deal with!
Kabru: monsters are wild creatures with jerky unpredictable movements.. Their attitude can change in a second and if you don't have an insane amount of knowledge about them they can be, and often are, very dangerous. Human cultures often have strict and easy to follow rules that depend on certain communication strategies that are somewhat agreed upon universally. People no matter of background also react the same to many things (smiling, frowning, pupil dilation, etc.). if you know what to do, they're very easy to deal with!
#I've been thinking about how they're kind of two sides of the same coins#And their fixations are in perfect contrast#I hope I worded everything in a way that makes sense#Rambling#Dungeon meshi#delicious in dungeon#kabru dungeon meshi#dunmeshi laios#I'm only watching the anime rn btw so sorry if it's inaccurate
