#LIKE WHAT ????

“Arcane s2 is just too complex for you to understand cuz they use show not tell”

The “showing”:

Vi TELLS us she thinks her sister is gone, and her coming to this conclusion happens off-screen, so instead she TELLS us.

this is the only exploration of VI’s prison trauma. ghost Silco TELLS us “wow prison must have been rough” instead of the show actually showing VI’s time in prison or how it affects her.

largest acknowledgment of Cait’s actions is TOLD. then poof, cait’s actions are forgotten in the actual story.

most on the nose cliche ass line ever

Same here. show uses silco as a mouthpiece to TELL us about “the power of forgiveness” instead of showing how characters forgive, how hard forgiveness it, etc. just “forgiveness is good”. which is again a simple cliche.

“Oh but Caitlyn forgives Jinx”

Yeah, in a cliche ass line of dialogue that just TELLS me she forgave her without showing HOW she got to that point or how difficult that journey was. It jus happens. I am just TOLD. cliche asf

Hold up this might actually be more cliche. I could feel the writer hijacking VI’s mouth to say something out of character. Plus WTF is she even talking about. How tf did Jinx “rewrite Zaun’s story” ??THAT sure as hell isn’t SHOWN just TOLD to me in a cliche line.

Again. Arcane s2 TELLS us what we should be thinking, without bothering to show Cait actually dealing with this conflict in a meaningful way through her actions in the story. she goes right back to brutally interrogating people after this. and she says this after her whole police brutality montage.

The show cant just drop random lines on random characters and be like “look at that, we addressed a thematic question” and call it character work or thematic work, and then not use that thematic idea to explore anything in the actual plot or character actions outside of the one cliche line of dialogue.

finn saying mike's more brave than him because he would never go to an alternate dimension to save his friend and said something about gunfights but when has he EVER been in the ud?? the closest hes ever gotten to that was the s2 tunnel and WHEN HAS MIKE WHEELER EVER HELD A GUN

The mischaracterization of people from PJO is so funny, but ESPECIALLY from HOO onward like.

“Hazel’s such an innocent little angel. She’s always nice and kind and confused.”

Hazel, who’s always ready to fight in the same way Percy is? Hazel, who made it explicitly clear she probably would’ve rocked Octavian’s shit had he not been blackmailing her? Who gets so angry on behalf of the people she loves, to the point where she doesn’t forgive those who have wronged them? Who Percy described as cursing up a storm in one of their first interactions? Who’s been shown time and time again to be FAST to anger? That Hazel?

Or Nico, who’s “a misunderstood emo. A small bean. Cute like a wet cat and innocent like a bunny.”

Nico, who’s cannonically described by most characters as “scary and unnerving?” Nico, who, for a long time, is one of the angriest characters in the series? Who’s only sassy and sarcastic because it took him FOUR YEARS to mellow out? Who’s described as being one of the most powerful demigods, who a lot of people still consider the scariest? Who’s come into his own as a character from TTC to TSATS? That Nico?

Or Annabeth who’s, “cold and calculating. Doesn’t show emotion or express herself”

Annabeth, who’s the most expressive person in the series? Who cries in EVERY book in the OG series? Whether it be for Luke, or Thalia, or Percy, or Chiron, or a literal DOG? Who expresses passion like no other when it comes to architecture and her other interests? Who’s expressed compassion for people she didn’t know? People who at times posed a threat to her? Who isn’t afraid to be angry, or happy, or snide, or rude, or excited, or scared, or ecstatic? Who’s been unapologetically herself since the moment the series started? That’s who doesn’t show emotion? That’s Annabeth?

What do you mean the summer solstice has happened?!!? What is going on I need to know !!!!

[sunnymarigoldss]

listen i know the lawsuit arc is widely hated amongst the fandom but you cannot deny the absolute golden insanity that was eddie yelling at buck for being a deadbeat dad

[yamujiburo]

they gave her the pixar mom treatment for this movie but girl where do your organs go

[boku-no-anime-phase]

YES I love this for you!!!

Okabe is one of the most annoying protagonists I've ever met, but I would die for him in a heartbeat.

The show has a pretty slow start in a lot of ways so I struggle to get my friends to stick with it, but it's so so so good. Hope you enjoy!!!

Ages ago I tried to play Steins;gate and got super fucking bored because it was so goddamn slow (curse of the visual novel medium) and I absolutely hated the stupid idiot of a main character when I was forced to play him, but today I watched the first episode of the anime and it's fucking hilarious. This is definitely the ideal medium for steins;gate.

people on here are like we need weirdos and then they mean literal pedophile

Amara, Dean’s (alleged) deepest darkest desire, standing right in front of him in a moment of nausea inducing chaos and the only name that passes his lips in a desperate prayer is Cas.

Cas.
