#LITERALLY THE BEST STILLS IN THE SERIES

[turtleblogatlast]

Something I like about Leo is that he’s honestly really chill? It’s easy to remember the moments where he’s being obnoxious or excitable but I feel like most of the time he’s incredibly “go with the flow” and has an overall affable demeanor.

I think the reason that MTMTE remains the most defining, influential, and loved series in the IDW1 run is fundamentally because, despite its many flaws, MTMTE has the power to make you think and wonder about the world beyond what's shown on the page. The character relationships are so strongly developed that it's easy to care about the characters and easy to imagine further adventures they could go on. While the myriad dropped plotlines, underwritten/underutilized characters, and worldbuilding with weird implications are all fucking maddening at times... even if it makes you mad, MTMTE makes you mad because you care and it makes you want to immerse yourself into a world that feels like it's real beyond what's explicitly shown to you on the page. It's a sandbox of a story where there's so much fertile ground for pretty much anyone with any preferred character archetype, storyline, etc to dig in.

It's just... immersive. That's the best way I can put it. It feels like it could be real and it makes you want to spend more time in it than the constraints JRO had. It makes you want to know more about it and come up with theories on how/why things function or happen the way they do. That's why it's loved and that's why it's the best series in IDW1.

There is no doubt that Bones kind of fumbled actually getting Booth and Brennan together, but y'know, six seasons and over 100 episodes of them being together and in love, buying a house, having a baby, getting married, having another baby, and being all cute and domestic goes a long way in making up for it

I'm starting to like Momokarun now and they def got the SoMa vibes but I still feel it's pretty ironic that I felt the romantic chemistry between Soul and Maka in the early episodes of Soul Eater more than I do between Momo and Okarun in the early eps of Dandadan. They felt more like budding besties, but that had to do with them literally had just met each other I suppose. While SoMa started the story already being friends since who-knows-when and there are hints of some sexual tension already (like why the hell did Maka have to compare Soul's fake betrayal with her dad's cheating and Soul just going along with it?)

With Momokarun they're still tryna be friends first. But it's just weird that Dandadan didn't really start off to me looking like it'd be a romcom (I feel like the first ep works fine as a setup for just a male-female buddy story) while I struggle to see Soul Eater's first ep as a setup for a mere buddy story when you have stuff like them having a dramatic break up scene and blurring the line of their supposed close friendship by suggesting that their partnership would not work if one is romantically involved with other people and Maka blushing after Soul said that cheesy ass 'cool guys don't cheat on their partners'. Jeez. What the hell.

That said, I still like Momokarun and I can just think of them as 'Soma but they actually got to be the stars of a romcom instead of being stuck in another Friendship-is-Magic-romance-is-gross shonen'

Genuinely the end of WoT feels like such a kick in the teeth. The women in the series whose arcs are independent from men get disappeared. The women whose arcs involve men are given side quests that feel peripheral or irrelevant to the plot. The most pivotal female character and the only one who has a continuous arc through the books to match the male trio…well. You Know.

anyways, i'm just dropping by to say fuck jk rowling and that snape being romantically in love with lily is really stupid when it would be more narratively and thematically consistent (and, frankly, more compelling) if his love for her was familial

It's the 2010's all over again and I am HERE for it:

-The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (The Hunger Games) movie coming out this Friday

-The Percy Jackson series in a little more than a month

-The Twilight reboot show in development

-And the Harry Potter one too

regardless of how you feel about modern paper mario leaning hard into the 'THE WORLD IS PAPER' thing for their gimmicks you do gotta admit its kind of impressive how much wild cartoon body horror the origami king devs managed to stuff into an e rated game simply because all of the characters are made of paper

i keep thinking about how they use sonic advance 3 in particular in the one flashback in sonic prime, it's because that's where 'unbreakable bond' originates from!

Sonic and Tails' unbreakable bond is so important to sonic (the character and the series)

I don't think y'all 2 parented people understand what it was like to be a kid who only knew 1 parent when Percy Jackson started becoming really popular. my entire early childhood I was the odd one out, constantly being asked what happened to my dad. this series changed the fucking game entirely. we talk a lot about what it did for kids with learning disabilities, which is also extremely important, but I think it's time we acknowledge the way this series normalized and even sort of glorified having a single parent in a way nothing else ever had
