I do think in the book there is a “putting her out of her misery” spin to Claudia’s death if that’s what anon is asking? Because she is forever 5 she can never develop the kind of maturity and fulfillment the adult vampire could eventually achieve so her death is more read as she really should’ve never been made to begin with I suppose. How the show will spin that with a teenage Claudia who is closer to book! Armand’s age than book! Claudia is anyone’s guess.
ya i see wym... mentally she was mature like girl was even older than show clauds mentally she made like 70 was close to 100 mentally b4 being murdered but the sheer dissonance btwn her small form & age was too much to bear. i rmbr a scene in og interview that stood out to me where claudia is like i wont be ur daughter forever , what was it like to make love [w lew comparing the hunt directly to sex] & likens herself to the ‘freakshows’ in town… so that is def a point made. but wrt to show clauds i do think once again this is a trend of fans to underestimate the horror of being permanently trapped in an incomplete adolescence which is the state show clauds is in. whether its being introduced to a 5 yr old clauds in the books whod be quite literally impossible to have in a live action [even in the 90s, dunst was like 12 & that was ethically dubious IMO.] and/or misogynoir implicit bias bla bla blah… s1 already shows the dissonance she feels. ‘only creeps will want me’. her diary implying shes had sexual encounters with god knows who, ‘who gone fuck me?’ , her in ep6 refusing to be LxL’s child attempting to make all 3 of them siblings…and shes only in her 30s mentally to a physical 14. i have some posts floating around about the enforced dependence i anticipate to still remain w clauds, least of all bc post ww2 is when the popular consensus on adolescence forms in the western world. armand still killing claudia bc he sees her as getting in the way w his love for louis works well lol. maybe putting her out of her misery is still his rationale for his torture but somewhat secondary to what his book self admitted is the urge he felt at the time to have louis, and louis alone?

Since you said you don’t get asks, I’ll start: how did you join the fandom? Do you remember what brought you in? Also do you have any favorite moments here you would like to share?
omg anon you're so sweet hiii well buckle in here is my journey
i started watching the dteam back in 2019!!! i'm an og of the ogs it's crazy. one of dream's vids popped on my recommended and i was like "omg minecraft!! this was my childhood i haven't played in ages! this new concept of random multiplied drops sounds fun!" and then i watched. then until the end of 2020 i was basically just a youtube fan lol. like i watched their first streams live and followed them all on twitch but i didnt really see the appeal on watching stuff live. the only thing i watched live religiously was mcc (on george's pov always). i only watched stream compilations like space croissant lmaoooo. then until november was into another fandom mainly and didn't use twitter, but then i started using twt for that fandom and started seeing dteam and dsmp stuff so i made another acc to talk about it too and i loved the sadist animations so that made me get into the lore too so yeah my obsession grew and grew and now i'm here!! so yeah the overall dteam dynamic and how fun they were doing challenges together is def what brought me in and still does :)
i have big recency bias so about my favorite moments just everything with dteam finally together warms my heart. like they're finally together, and they're so much more happy that anything from before, even though it has the nostalgia factor, doesn't even compare to like the christmas streams :,) i just love my dteamies forever

Hey! I know you’re neck deep in MotH and Online/Offline rn (which both are amazing btw) but I was wondering if you would ever consider doing a Hongjoong fake texts story? Out of curiosity ❤️❤️
(I actually finished writing both fics near the end of last year, lol. I discovered a long time ago that I couldn't come back to a project once a week to write, and my one unfinished fic is still unfinished because of it. I am neck deep in other things though lol)
So I had to think about this a little bit. Currently my projects are:
Getting ready to self-publish an original novella (or attempt, I'm still looking for an editor and I have to contact someone about cover art and there's so much more to do after that 😭)
Working on an original erotica book for a different pen name (still in the writing process)
And then I wanted to do some mini-fic prequels for a side character each from Online/Offline and Music of the Heart (since I already had ideas for them as I was writing and other people saying they liked them makes me want to actually write them lol)
I was also planning on doing a kind of text-only visual novel kind of story (like… a romantic choose your own adventure but only in text since making the art would take up so much time and I can't really see paying someone to do it since it's a fan thing and wouldn't make money), where each of the eight Ateez members inhabit one of the popular manhwa tropes I've seen (like… "duke of the north who seems cold but isn't," that kind of thing) and the reader is a princess trying not to be married off to a man she doesn't love and they get to choose which of the eight they want to fall in love with and each has their own stuff going on. I had started trying to map out the choices, but I kind of hit a wall on how to map them out (I literally could not find any resources on outlining visual novels) and I should really be working on a writing career first since we live in a capitalist hellscape and I need to write to make money since 9-5 jobs don't really agree with me (in a… mental health sense. They might if I got paid more. At least then I could delude myself into thinking I'm happy because the exchange for my sanity and the finite time I have on this planet would be greater 😀).
Also, I normally end up writing fics about whatever fictional/kpop man I'm interested in at the time (which, if you look at my old fics, is why I'm so all over the place, lol) and while Hongjoong is a fashion inspiration, he's not my bias*, and that's normally where my desire to write a romance about them comes from (I'm a simple gal lol). *(Yunho sort of was my second bias when I started writing the fics in 2021, but he's really not anymore. I've been a steady San, Mingi/Hwa girl, with San as my OG Ateez bias and forever #1, and Mingi and Hwa occasionally switching in the 2 and 3 spot)
So idk, unless I come up with a really good idea for Hongjoong that just tucks me under its arm and runs away with me in tow, I don't really see me making a smau for him? I think that right now all my ideas are probably going to go to the erotica series (which is based around a fictional kpop boygroup and [hopefully] each member will be getting 1-3 books), so I think all my ideas that could be used for kpop aus are probably going to go there, at least for the time being. There's going to be a s.coups/hongjoong-ish leader/producer (who might get the enemies to lovers trope), but that'll also be a while (I think his book is like eight or nine in the series lol 😅 there's ten members in the group)
So, in short: probably not 🤷‍♀️? Sorry. I also don't know what the future holds, but don't get your hopes up, just in case.

this is. not a good ranking. but surprisingly there r some very sexy towers so whaddya know 👀
Tumblr media
the starting point,,,, the og,,,, the great plateau tower! this tower is a pretty easy climb, tho the whole like... almost killing u and sending rocks flying everywhere n shit is :(( lots of footholds look nice and all the water surrounding it is pretty. not to mention this is the tower u can climb and see ALL of hyrule on so its definitely good 6/10 not the sexiest tower but it has a lot to offer. i believe in it
Tumblr media
the fact its on the other side of a huge fuckoff river that i always die trying to swim across makes the dueling peaks tower really piss me off but it looks rlly pretty next to it. still, its like. not a hard climb, but if u fall off ur basically fucked. the nearby bokoblin camp also makes me want to chug bleach so! 4/10 its hard to live up to the great plateau tower and frankly its not doing a good job of it. cringe tower next to the fail river
Tumblr media
ok look. its normally not that bad! but i did the hateno tower for the first time whilst i was off my ass on malibu and my god did i have a bad time. the thorns,,, the lack of stamina,,, and im not exactly a tactical player either, so. ruined the tower for me a bit. its very aesthetic sitting up on the hill tho very nice very neat. very majestic. 5/10 thorns are sexy but not when you’re drunk :(
Tumblr media
thanks google for giving me only the lowest quality res of lanayru tower. tbh im biased against this tower bc it rains every time i try and climb it so FUCK it. its a good looking tower tho?? its a bit lopsided but i think it gives it character! hey if italy can make it work,,, 6/10 lanayru region has a wat but thats all its got to offer
Tumblr media
hm! fuck this tower! okay ignoring literally everything about ridgeland tower, its pretty! the lake surrounding it,,,, its very prim. even the wizzrobes make it look kinda nice. its a sexy tower but thats literally all its got going for it bc climbing it is an atrocious nightmare! 7/10 its like the rlly hot girl at school who has the personality of a tire fire
Tumblr media
ill be honest i dont remember much of akkala citadel tower aside from the fact it was guardian central and i only climbed it literally after i beat ganon LMAO. truly its the chad of all towers. but sitting on the very top of the citadel,,,, surrounded by all the nice trees,,, it looks like it rlly belongs there. the malice at the bottom doesnt even look good tho. sorry dude who said this was the sexiest tower- its not :( 7/10 everyone tough until the trees start beeping
Tumblr media
u know what i rlly like eldin tower. its kinda cozy lookin in the rock and the volcano in the background is pleasantly menacing. its abt as far as u can go without getting crispy, so its one hot ass tower. its got guts. ambition. its a tower i can respect. 5/10 not perfect but a cute addition. shes doing her best.
Tumblr media
now THIS is a sexy tower excuse the poor quality image BUT wow,,,, woodland tower,,, this tower could be on fire and breaking down and it would still look hot. even tho its standing in a monster camp it rlly rocks it. the skull on the top,,,, this tower is the goth of all the towers, especially since its so close to hyrule castle. 8/10 this tower likes 2 accessorize
Tumblr media
the hebra tower is VERY pretty,,, the blue rlly matches the snow everywhere so u know the tower has good colour coordination,,,,all the ice at the bottom is also cute. annoying but cute. very prim. its like the tsundere of towers. 9/10 chilly until u get 2 know her,,,
Tumblr media
,,,,, well. i like it, at least. all the ruins around it rlly brings out its, uh ... malice. and in fairness they offer a quick way up there so this towers got backup plans for u. it cares for u. tabantha tower may be covered in malice but it makes it look Good. it rocks it. it works. 6/10 you did your best considering the circumstances
Tumblr media
gerudo tower,,, its by far one of the sexiest. it just descends into the ground forever. the open space around it. the spiral mountain. the few and far between footholds. kass sitting on top. i like everything about this tower. visually, that is. climbing it is an absolute ballache of a chore. but its worth it,,,, for this tower,,, 9/10 if i could marry a tower,,, i probably wouldnt marry this one. good try tho.
Tumblr media
hebra tower is hard to beat but central tower doesnt actually look That bad. the footholds that go all spirally up look rlly nice, and all the ruins around it is tres good. u get to see everything from the centre of hyrule which is rlly nice positioning. the guardians? hm. rlly ruin the atmos. it sits there and looks rlly pretty for when u get off the plateau and then BANG guardian laser. betrayal. i love u,,, but i can never forgive u,,, 6/10  this thing probably has laser marks all over it but hey just think of it as sexy battle scars,,,
Tumblr media
hh i dont even remember this one tbh but i think its the lake tower and thats like. in faron. shows how much i care about it. if i remember right it keeps raining when i try and climb this tower so. i have a bias. i think its average tbh. the rainforest around it is SUPER nice until lit everything tries 2 kill u so. its a safe haven in a dangerous forest. it means well. 4/10 sweet but not hot. stop getting me struck by lightning.
Tumblr media
this is one windy bitch! the wasteland tower! the footholds r all up at the top which is kind of a look but its surrounded by a swamp which,,, hm. not the sexiest choice. if i was trying to attract someone i probably wouldnt sit in a puddle of shit but u do u boo. 5/10 it looks nice on the top of a mountain but the functionality is dogshit
conclusion: theyre fucking towers idk why i rated these it was hard and i hate everything

In 1997, it was obvious to me that Cloud loved Aerith more than Tifa.
Tumblr media
Not until I went online all these years later did I discover (shockingly) that the American FFVII fanbase had been purposely misled by egotistical, pompous, self-righteous nerd boys (who now have egg on their face in-light of the Remake). 
If you notice, Cloti’s have been working double-time since the Remake came out. Why is that? Well, it’s because the Remake is confirming what we have always known since the OG: despite technically being a love triangle, SE wanted most gamers to play their first playthrough the Clerith way. Aerith automatically starts off with more love points than Tifa, and the Clerith date is the “normally occurring” date. 
Clerith is the “normally occurring” couple. 
So why did Cloti’s decide to launch a campaign to delegitimize Clerith? And how did they do it? 
When FFVII first came out in 1997, many western gamers didn’t understand Aerith. She was (literally) foreign to them. Japanese animation was still very niche back then.
Though the Japanese adored Aerith’s spunky personality & pink dress (and saw her as the obvious romantic interest for Cloud), many men in the United States thought her hair was “ugly,” and that her personality was “annoying.” Far too “anime” for their taste. They preferred Tifa — the loyal, more American looking childhood friend — the “girl-next-door.” Plus, her big boobs didn’t hurt, either.
Of course, since FFVII inherently revolves around a love triangle, there is an OPTION to play it the Tifa way.
However, as a kid in 1997, I never saw Tifa as a threat. I saw her as the secondary, optional way to play the game. The girl you would pick on your second playthrough.  
When you consider...
Official Yoshitaka Amano artwork depicting Cloud x Aerith
Beginning love point totals (you have to make counterintuitive choices to catch Tifa up to Aerith’s automatic 1st place position)
The non-optional bodyguard agreement
The “normally” occurring CxA Gold Saucer date
Numerous flirtatious moments & obvious hints
Tifa’s constant jealousy
Promised Land scene non-optionally occurring *AFTER* the inherently variable Highwind scene
Frequent CxA cameos
Aerith being the first & last image we see in the entire game
…it is clear Tifa never held a candle to Aerith as the heroine, or as the primary love interest for Cloud.  
To put it simply — Aerith was created first by SE. Tifa was created second. Aerith is the primary love interest. Tifa is the secondary love interest. Obvious common sense.
Unfortunately, fueled by their unyielding, irrational hatred of all things Aerith, they successfully sold the myth (for years) that Cloud x Tifa is the official canon couple of FFVII, thereby brainwashing the entire American fandom against Cloud x Aerith.
They reduced & twisted Cloud’s “undying” love for Aerith as “guilt.”
Saying that even though Cloud chooses to live in Aerith’s Church, has his heart broken every time he visits her grave, reconnects with her in Flower Fields (and cameos), and seeks to find her in the Promised Land, it is somehow all due to guilt over the death of a mere friend. Saying that anything romantic shown in the OG is all a result of Zack (ie: attempted delegitimization).
I guess the symbolism of Cloud’s continued love for Aerith, and all the nuances that entails, is too cultured & sophisticated for them to comprehend. Or maybe they are purposely not comprehending the obvious?
Thankfully, the Japanese understand what all of this means. So why don’t western fans?
The only logical conclusion is because of their deep, burning, irrational hatred of Aerith as a character. Always minimizing & downplaying her role as the first & true heroine & love interest to Cloud.
But now, with the Remake perfecting Aerith’s look & personality, and making it crystal clear that these are Cloud’s REAL feelings, and that Aerith wants to move FORWARD from Zack, you are now seeing a significant swing within the fandom towards Cloud x Aerith.
The myth has finally been exposed & debunked. 
Due to this, Cloti’s are currently working double-time to try to convince us that their ship is a “slow-burn.” 
Sadly, the other side has spent years using Crisis Core & Advent Children to their advantage by manipulating & brainwashing those new to the FFVII fanbase. Pretending as if Disc 1 of the OG never happened. Saying Crisis Core makes Zerith canon, and Advent Children makes Cloti canon. Simple & easy for the masses to understand, right? 
So how, exactly, did they convince millions to believe their great myth?
1. Cloud & Aerith only liked each other because of Zack.  Response:
The relationship between Zack & Aerith in CC is officially described as a minor infatuation between two juveniles, much like Cloud’s childhood crush on Tifa.  
In the OG, Aerith says her and Zack were NEVER serious, that their relationship is “in the past now,” and that he probably moved on to someone else because he’s a “real lady’s man.”  
On the “normally occurring” CxA Gold Saucer date, Aerith confirms that although she initially liked Cloud because of Zack, she has grown to like Cloud for Cloud.
Within the lifestream, Aerith tells Zack that she prefers Cloud’s personality over his, and that she will only call Zack if she gets “really lonely.”
In the Remake, Aerith states she wants to move FORWARD with her life in regards to Zack.
In official sources, Aerith is stated as saying she loves Cloud MORE than Zack.
Cloud is stated to be Aerith’s “koibito” (“lover” in Japanese).  
Yes — Cloud adopted some memories & mannerisms from Zack, but he never transformed 100% into Zack.
It is a myth that Cloud & Aerith’s love is null-and-void because of Zack. CC is a retcon.  Don’t let them use Zack to erase Clerith. 
2. Tifa wins by default due to being alive.
Response:
Tifa winning by default due to being alive is why the other side hopes to god Aerith doesn’t live in the Remake.
You may personally prefer Tifa, but in the OG, Cloud himself clearly prefers Aerith over Tifa, and the other side knows it (just look at the Shinra jail cell moment). When Tifa observes Cloud and Aerith falling in love, she flips out in a jealous rage. 
Tifa only has a chance once Aerith is out of the picture. If Aerith lives, it is all but over for Tifa. 
Even in death, Cloud has an “undying” love for Aerith that will never go away. Tifa knows this to be true and is stated to be jealous of Cloud’s continued feelings for Aerith.
In the AC credits, Tactics cameo, and the Dissidia cameo, it is clear Cloud still wants to meet and be with Aerith in the Promised Land. Denying the common sense symbolism of this is a sign of someone who has a deep-rooted bias against Aerith.    
Furthermore, Cloud and Tifa are in an established “family of friends,” share zero romantic moments, have tons of continued jealousy, fighting, and sleep in separate rooms. Plus, Barret returns to living with them in DoC. Tifa is never upgraded to anything beyond “childhood friend.” 
Cloud & Tifa only have the possibility of being a thing if Aerith is out of the picture. Aerith is #1. Tifa is #2. The other side better pray to god Aerith doesn’t live in the Remake.  
And even if Aerith dies, Cloud & Aerith will always remain a tragic star-crossed love story where Cloud forever wants to meet her in the Promised Land. Tifa’s continued jealousy confirms this to be true.

some thoughts on the gavin brothers and their relationship as brothers
because i am starved of content due to capcom LOCKING them away forever
First off I want to clarify that maybe there’s a little bit of bias from my end, I really like Klavier and really dislike Kristoph, so if you like Kristoph/kin him or anything, maybe like, avoid the negativity in this post /lh
yeah no my view on the brother's relationship was def some very good moments but i dont think that kristoph ever truly "loved" klavier as a brother. at first before klavier could even understand what was going on i think kris was so angry and upset and hateful to him but like, faked it? but as time went on he became more neutral on his presence and, admittedly, still faked shit, but it was easier becaues there was less hatred. Klavier was a tool to him, and the only time he got angry or slightly annoyed is when klavier didn't do something within his control or like, the final trial where he was like "You're spinning out of control!" which pretty much meant, get a hold of yourself and do like i say! i am losing control of you
i do think that there were some healthy moments though, like i said, like if klavier had a bad nightmare kristoph was the one there to comfort him because god knows their parents didn't do anything remotely close to parenting (at least in my hc) but there were some other moments where there was blatient gaslighting to a fucking 10 year old because one of them broke a plant (most likely kristoph) or was intimidating because the motherfucker wanted a piece of their chicken (kristoph)
that's my hot take my two cents; i do not think there was any . like. you know. bad bad stuff it was just manipulation and mean Because um, i think that there wasn't really anything that was genuine... i think that kristoph hated the shit out of klavier and then saw him as a tool rather than a brother, because that's what kristoph... does
He uses people to his will, and isn't afraid to just kill people to cover up the bad shit he did.
Spoilers for AA4 ahead - beware
First, he forged evidence to get phoenix out of court.
Then, tried to kill the dude who made the fraud evidence via stamp after he was done being of use to kristoph 
Then, used and manipulated his brother into thinking Phoenix was the bad guy, and tipped him off about the "evidence" 
After that, he killed 'shadi smith' aka magician motherfucker aka trucy’s biological dad who went into hiding because of the og case because he had a connection to kristoph and the crime 
And finally, started to get angry when klavier began to rebel in court against him and his control because his useful tool was no longer able to be controlled
And, to be honest, I don’t think Kristoph has any regret at all for anything he did. He doesn’t fucking care about how he just blatiently ruined MULTIPLE people’s lives, straight up gave them trauma and he Does Not Care
Despite all the hatred I hold for this ONE CHARACTER, I do find him extremely interesting, and his psyche interests me incredibly deeply. Also he’s a great catalyst for angst or hurt/comfort shit with Klavier LMAO
anyways thanks for coming to my tedtalk

Someday, I Will Understand (Diego Hargreeves x reader)
Tumblr media
Summary: With a decision that can change her whole life, Y/N struggles with whether or not she should stay or leave. 
Pairing: Diego Hargreeves x reader
Title Reference: (Someday) I Will Understand x Britney Spears
Word Count: 1.7k words
Warning: angst afff
Note: Different POV from the oneshot, How Am I Supposed To Live Without You
✤  ·  ✤  ·  ✤  ·  ✤  ·  ✤
Y/N's pov;
'I want you to come with me'
That was the message I got from Nate, my ex boyfriend from college. I froze into place when I read it, continuing to stare at my screen and playing that message in my head over and over again.
We've ended in good terms, we broke up because of the fact that we had different paths for our future. When he came back in town a few months ago, we started to keep in touch again.
I didn't know if there was something between me and Nate. Every time I'd imagine Nate and I together, Diego would pop up in the picture. I've never thought Diego would be someone that would influence my life so much, turns out I loved him more than I thought.
That was the reason why I hesitated to get back with Nate in the first place. I kept him waiting because I wasn't so sure about my feelings for Diego. But now that he asked me to follow him across the country, I didn't know what to do.
My whole life was here, this was where my home was. I never thought of leaving because I thought I'd stay here forever. I didn't even think of the possibility of living outside of this place.
I never thought of my life away from Diego
He had been my best friend since I've met him after high school, meeting him at a club downtown one night when my friends and I went out. Diego and I weren't in the mood to go up to dance so instead, we left our friends and just talked all night. That was when our friendship start to flourish.
We started hanging out non-stop. Even when I left for college, he always came to visit me and I'd go and see him as well. Diego became the person I would go to for everything, despite me having a boyfriend throughout college.
Diego was there for me when I had issues with my family, the times when I was stressed from work and even when I had to rant to him about Nate. He was my emotional support system and I loved that he was welcoming whenever I needed him.
My mind and my heart wasn't fully sure how I felt about Diego yet, but he was the reason why I still needed to stay. All I knew was that I needed a sign to tell me I shouldn’t leave.
'What's on your mind?'
Diego asked me one day, it sounded a little bit aggressive but worried. It caught me off guard mostly because I was so distracted. I've been lost in my thoughts that I forgot where I was. 'Ah, nothing Diego.'
'It doesn't seem like nothing.' I knew I couldn't lie to him, he knew all my ups and downs. It was stupid of me to hide this from him, knowing that I needed him to help me now more than ever.
But I couldn't tell him. At least not yet.
I was confused, didn't know what to do at all. I wasn't sure what my true desire was, my intuition told me to do what made me happy but what was that really?
Nate and Diego both made me happy, have the best memories and years with the both of them. How was I supposed to choose which path to take?
One day I decided to talk to Luther. He was in the mansion when I waited for Diego to come home, figured that if I needed to talk to someone, he’d be someone I wouldn’t mind speaking to. Hesitantly, I told him my situation since I needed another set of opinion that wouldn't be a bias choice.
I knew that Diego's choice would've been for me to stay, I knew that he'd stop me from going. I also didn't want him to know the real reason why I would've considered to stay which was because of how I had some confusing feelings for him.
'Maybe you being hesitant to leave here and Diego is a sign that you should stay.' Luther had made a comment which did make sense. If I really was determined to leave with Nate, I would've left in a heartbeat, no questions asked.
'I'd want you to stay Y/N but whatever decision you make, I support you 100%.' I was glad I went to Luther to talk about this. He didn't judge me at all and understood why I was confused in this decision making. He also understood why I couldn't tell Diego and even promised me to not tell him.
After thinking thoroughly for days about rejecting Nate's offer and deciding to stay instead, I visited Diego to tell him the truth about what was happening the last few weeks. I knew that he had been curious this whole time and he deserved to know the truth.
Diego then started to act different, he was angry and upset about something. Even if I asked him what was wrong, he'd immediately shut me down and wouldn't let me help him.
Whenever something was overwhelming him, he'd always start acting childish and that was exactly what he was doing. I wasn't sure what the reason was but something was definitely up.
I'd ask him if the reason why he was upset was because of me. Diego would say that it wasn't although it seemed that every time I would come to visit him, he would throw a fit or be in a bad mood.
His anger slowly projected on me, making me frustrated as well. All I wanted was to tell him that I chose him, hoping that things would go back how it used to be or even better. But it wasn't working.
I'd started to talk back to him, yell and argue with him whenever I'd see him. We'd never fought like this before, we've never even had a disagreement about anything. This was all new territory for the both of us and things just got even worse.
'Why are you acting this way? You know how much I hate it when you turn nasty like this. For no reason too, or at least you say there isn't one.' I shouted at him, I've never raised my voice like this and it was more frustrating that Diego was aggravating me. 
Diego never had made me this upset. It hurt that he was acting like this towards me. I hated the fact that he was hiding whatever was bothering him. All I wanted to do was help him from whatever pain he was feeling.
Even when trying to confront him, he wouldn't answer me properly. I knew there was something he wasn't telling me and I knew whatever it was, it was bothering him.
Eventually, I stopped going to his place. I couldn't deal with the stress nor did I have time to argue with Diego. The decision that I've made to stay was doubtful again and now I was back to square one.
'Maybe this was the real sign, I'm not supposed to stay here.' 
Luther had disagreed, trying to convince me to talk to Diego to set my mind straight. He figured that we just needed a little bit of space and now that we did have some time apart, we could’ve figured things out again. 
But my mind was clear as day, I felt as though I had to leave. It had been weeks since I've had seen Diego and months since we've had a decent conversation. We've never been away from each other this long but I had to do my own thing, move forward with my life and follow my own path.
'Diego doesn't want to talk to me, Luther. Whatever happened or whatever I've done to make him mad is getting to him. I don't think I can help him.'
Luther begged for me to stay or at least see Diego before I left. I knew that that would be a mistake; if I did go see him, I was going to get yelled at and we would argue again and I didn’t want that.
I didn't want to be in that emotional roller coaster again. Diego meant too much for me to get even angrier towards him and I didn't want to end up hating him. Besides, I couldn't do that to Nate. I've already asked him to wait until I made my decision, this would be too much of an inconvenience.
'Are you sure about this?' Luther asked, he seemed upset and I wasn't quite sure why. It wasn't as if me and him were great friends, I didn't think he'd miss me that much. Whatever it was, he really wanted me to change my mind.
'I'm not a 100% sure but I know I'm not meant to stay.' Diego was all I thought about as I said those words to Luther. Months of our broken relationship made me realize that maybe our bond wasn't as strong as I thought it was.
'What about Diego, Y/N?'
I bit my lip, stuffing in my last set og clothes I had in my room into my suitcase. It hurt that this may be the truth, but there was nothing I could do to change it. 'Diego doesn't want me here, Luther. There's nothing to it.'
It was great while it lasted, things were amazing with Diego. Maybe I've relied on him too much, he was my safety net for everything in my life. I've probably loved him more than I should've and possibly pulled him away from his life he could've led if it wasn't for me. Perhaps this was my time to let him go, let him become a great man that he was and go out in the world.
I wished nothing but the best for Diego, he deserved all the good things in life and more. I couldn't drag him down my life anymore and I knew that this was the best thing that could’ve happened to the both of us. 
Someday I hope that Diego will understand why I've made this decision. I hope he knew that wherever I may be, I'd always think of him and cherish all the great memories I had with him. In the end, I knew that he’d be great without me but I hope that I’ll forever be in his heart.

RATE THE EPISODE 303 Responses
Tumblr media
There was an interesting contrast this week between anime only viewers’ and manga readers’ reaction to the episode. Anime only viewers overwhelmingly felt positively about the episode. But for manga manga readers, many of the cuts in the anime dampened their enjoyment of the episode, and for some ruined it entirely. Still, overall, the episode got positive reception, even if it wasn’t overwhelmingly enthusiastic. 
a little rushed but still very enjoyable. it defo got the point across about Reiner's struggles
It was... Fine. I'll give it a solid 8/10 on emotional value and finally seeing these chapters animated. But accepting that the anime and manga are not the same and that there will be cuts is hard.
Wasn't very good. The cut scenes really hurt the pacing and overall story.
i thought the pacing was way too fast :(
Stunning. Beautiful 
Another great episode. My only criticisms are the music that was used at the beginning of the episode, which didn't really work, and the cuts but I understand why that had to happen.
Disappointing
Impeccable. The adaption was both efficient and emotionally effective. Zero misses so far - I'm officially a MAPPA ho. 
Really great! Feels different from the manga and makes me excited for future episodes, because even if it's not perfect, we will always have the original material + some fun new scenes that the anime is adding, can't wait for more
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING MOMENTS WAS YOUR FAVORITE? 304 Responses
Tumblr media
The much-anticipated scene where we learn amputee-kun is actually Eren was the most favored of the episode, with 37.5% of the vote. Following behind that with more narrow margins were the introduction to Marley’s titans, Annie and Reiner’s fight and Reiner’s suicide attempt. 
The first part was very rushed and I wasn't as impressed by it. But I was very impressed by the second part of the episode once the warrior kids made it to paradise. I also very much enjoyed how they animated the scene of Annie taking out her anger on Reiner after Marcel's death. There was just something about the use of colours that really appealed to me. 
The Reiner and Annie fight and Reiner's suicide disturbed me a lot more this time around, partially because I haven't read the chapters in a while, but this is easily one of my favorite episodes now.
WE GOT THE FULL ED LAST WEEK. AFTER SEEING IT IN ITS ENTIRETY, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT IT NOW? 294 Responses
Tumblr media
The majority of the fandom are enjoying the new ending, with 65.6% loving both the song and the animation. 11.2% are enjoying the song… but not so much the animation. 11.9% feel that it’s “just okay.” Some are enjoying the animation, but not the song, and a few more dislike both. 
The song and the animation are truly beautiful and gorgeous. I couldn't imagine better. It is always so peaceful after the full of emotions episode. 
Beautiful song, although the bit with the streaks of shiny animation look like 480p and are a little boring. 
I didn't see it 
Bold of you to assume I watch the EDs and don't just skim ahead to the preview.
i'm not interested in the ending
There was a half ED?
ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 5, HOW MUCH DID YOU ENJOY THE SEQUENCE INTRODUCING ALL OF MARLEY’S TITANS? 303 Responses
Tumblr media
A very tiny fraction of voters weren’t impressed with the way MAPPA executed the scene that introduces us to the Marley titans and why each warrior was picked for the titans they received. However, the majority of respondents felt very positively about the scene, with 221 even feeling they, too, will become a titan as a result of the awesomeness. 
I really liked the marley titan montage but why the hell were the female titan's boobs so big? It looked so out of poportion
It was awesome and I loved the introduction to the Titans
OUT OF ALL THE TITANS THE MARLEY MILITARY HAD 9 YEARS AGO, WHICH ONE WOULD YOU WANT TO HAVE? 299 Responses
Tumblr media
Whether it’s for practicality or aesthetic reasons, we all have different titans that appeal to us more than others. This race was a close one, with the Female Titan holding on just slightly over the Jaw Titan in terms of favoritism. The Armored Titan came in at a distant third with the Beast Titan and Colossal closely behind. Only a very small fraction would like to inherit the Cart Titan from Piku-chan.
WHICH OG WARRIOR CANDIDATE WOULD YOU WANT TO ADOPT? 299 Responses
Tumblr media
Overall, the majority (29.1%) wouldn’t want to adopt any of the OG warrior crew, whether because the responsibility is too much or because they don’t like kids at all (or perhaps, a missing third option being they don’t like any of them). But for those who would happily take on one of the OG warrior kiddos, 24.1% would most like to take Reiner home (and probably give him lots of hugs). 21.1% adore little Pieck and would shower her with parental love forever. 9.7% probably want to pinch little Bertolt’s cheeks, and 8.4% wish they’d adopted Annie instead of her father.
A LOT OF THE SHIGANSHINA BREACH HAS REUSED WIT ANIMATION FROM PAST EPISODES - THOUGHTS? 303 Responses
Tumblr media
The majority of respondents felt positively enough about seeing WIT’s S1 style mixed in with MAPPA’s, with 42.9% feeling it flowed together well enough, and 26.4% understanding why they didn’t reanimate the event (despite preferring it if they had). 11.2% don’t care at all, and 8.6% think it was way too jarring. There are some who are reminded that they miss WIT’s style, and others who have a continued appreciation for MAPPA.
KAJI YUKI HAS LOWERED HIS VOICE A BIT TO DEPICT AN OLDER EREN. THOUGHTS? 301 Responses
Tumblr media
Overall, nearly everyone seems to be pleased with Kaji Yuki’s more “mature” sounding Eren, with 76.4% feeling he is portraying an older and more jaded Eren perfectly. 11.6% are lost in their lust for a 2D drawing and are focused entirely on that (we understand lol). A few are simply indifferent to the lower tone, and a smaller percentage just prefer Eren’s voice prior to the timeskip. 
Anime onlys can spot him more difficult, which I like
Made sense to me, he’s not a teenager anymore after all, plus works better for this “new” Eren who’s less angry and shouty all the time.
I didn't even notice lol
Eren is adult so changing his voice was a very good choice. I like his new sound.
It was stupid that he ever talked so low before now. He was fifteen and he sounded like an adult, well they all do that bc it's standard anime shit but it makes it even harder when they become real adults.
NOW HE REALLY SOUNDS LIKE KENMA 🔥
WE’VE LOST COUNT OF HOW MANY TIMES WE’VE SEEN MARCEL GET EATEN. BUT OF THE OPTIONS BELOW, WHO DID IT BEST? 296 Responses
Tumblr media
Seeing Marcel get eaten 2000 times seems to be a running gag at this point, so naturally we had to include this question. Whether it’s recency bias or objectively true, 44.6% feel that MAPPA’s take on Marcel’s death was the best. 30.4% feel that Isayama’s more recent art style truly does Marcel the most justice. 14.2% liked the way WIT Studio portrayed the scene and 10.8% like Isayama’s older, more grungy art style.
RIP Marcel
DO YOU THINK THAT REINER WAS CORRECT, THAT MARLEY WOULD HAVE HAD ALL OF RBA EATEN IF THEY HAD FOUND YMIR AND RETURNED HOME IMMEDIATELY? 292 Responses
Tumblr media
In the hypothetical scenario that Reiner hadn’t convinced Annie and Bertolt to stay on the island, the majority feel that Reiner was wrong in his assessment that they would be executed practically on-site. 55.1% believe that the idea would have been out in the open, but ultimately rejected. Though, 35.6% feel that Marley is too ruthless and uncaring toward Eldians to care what the situation is, and would absolutely hand over their titans to others deemed more capable. Very few felt Marley would be understanding by default. Many write-ins feel that Reiner is the only one who would have been executed for the failure. 
Depends on if B/A emphasize that it was Reiner’s fault rather than their own.
If all of RBA got eaten then I think they wouldn’t use kids for their next attempt. Maybe teens around the age RBA were after training in Paradis military
Magath would have pointed out how wasteful it would have been, but probably even him couldn't have saved reiner
He was wrong. What would be the point of feeding them to other children, if they were the best candidates? Too much of work. 
Reiner said that there's a possibility that they couldn't find Ymir even if they try. He has a point. But I don't think Marley would have RBA eaten even if they lose Jaw.
They wouldn't go through with it because they seem to lack other qualified warrior candidates.
I think Magath and maybe Zeke would have tried to convince the government to not go through with it and that Reiner might have been the only one sacrificed.
Obviously. They would have indisputable proof that sending a bunch of kids to carry out a massively important mission is the dumbest shit they could have ever done and immediately they'd put the titans into older soldiers.
They'd let them live a few more years just for propaganda and used them for other battles, then they'd have them killed around their midterm.
Possibly, but they put a lot of time, effort, and money into training their warriors. It would be a big decision to execute all of them and start over. Maybe they would have executed Reiner as an example.
WHAT’S THE FORECAST FOR TONIGHT? 295 Responses
Tumblr media
In our least-serious question of the poll, we asked you guys to try and predict the weather based on Bertolt’s sleeping pose. 18.3% believe his legs-on-the-wall pose means clear skies, 13.9% are certain it means rain. 13.6% are confident in an overcast night. At 11.5% foresee storms coming and 11.2% think it’s gonna be snow. 18% are probably just annoyed with the question. A few write-ins pointed out that Bertolt was, indeed, sleeping in the Hanged Man Pose.
It’s gonna be partly guilt ridden old man with a 90% chance of suicide by hanging
Blood and guts
HOW IS THAT EVEN COMFORTABLE?
Let's just call it hail
Hanged man posture, dreamed about the old man
raining titans
No one can make me like the warriors even if I don't blame them for what they were forced to do as kids. idc what quirky habits they have.
There'll be clear skies for some time but don't be deceived, heavy rain is incoming
This was amazing because it's a reference to The Hanging Man on Tarot cards: he's willingly being hanged for his sins. Look it up, it's so cool.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT MAPPA CUTTING A GOOD CHUNK OF REINER’S TRAINING? 302 Responses
Tumblr media
With only 20(ish) minutes to fit in all of Reiner’s backstory, cuts were inevitable. MAPPA made the decision to nerf most of Reiner’s struggles training as a Warrior Cadet (among a couple other more lengthy scenes during and after the wall breach). 62.9% are sad that some of these scenes didn’t make the cut, but also understand that we can’t have it all. 13.2% actually preferred seeing Reiner’s backstory in MAPPA’s condensed version, while 12.9% feel it completely ruins the characterization of the warriors.
I don't even remember what was cut 😂
Slightly ruined the warriors’ characterisations (especially Reiner’s)
I thought they could have shown a bit more about Reiner's underdog, it's something that really made me sympathise with him in the manga. 
Kinda disappointed, since some scenes were essential for a little background on their lives
Honestly, even after all the cuts and the restrains it tells the story of a "warrior", Reiner.
Mappa fucked RBA backstory and I would bet it's because they are biased towards Eren and 104th...
I wouldn't say it ruined their characterisation, but it did leave it a lot more shallow. I would've loved to see those scenes animated, but I also realise that things will have to be cut to fit everything in, and I think these cuts still preserve the forward momentum of the story reasonably well. 
The important scenes were animated, so it's good that way
MAPPA cannot animate every panel and the best will be, if fandom finally understands that. Every episode has limited amount of time and MAPPA is doing everything they can to make episodes good and easy to understand for anime onlies. I was fine with cutting because I know that episodes aren't long and there are more important stuff to animate than every part of training.
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT NOT SEEING ANNIE PARTICIPATING IN THE FIRST WALL BREACH? 298 Responses
Tumblr media
MAPPA completely glossed over Annie’s role in the wall breach, showing her being choked by Reiner and then waking up in the refugee camp later. 40.9% state they would have preferred seeing Annie play her part in the mission, though they accept that it isn’t there. 34.6% are concerned that those who don’t read the manga will just be confused as to where Annie was during all of the chaos (Oh no! Did RB leave her passed out in the fields!?). 16.1% are simply just disappointed altogether. A small fraction felt it wasn’t necessary anyway and have no problems with the cut. 
I feel kinda iffy about it because that was one of my favorite parts of the chapter, but oh well... it is what it is.
Kenny's scene should be eliminated.
I mean it's not like the female titan could destroy the walls herself. I think nobody expects it and then her absence makes sense
Yams did an oopsie in the first place retconing 
It really confused me lol for a moment I completely forgot what she even did in the manga and had to reread
KNOWING NOW THAT ANNIE IS ACTUALLY ADOPTED, DOES THE JOKE ABOUT HER BEING KENNY’S LOST DAUGHTER HIT DIFFERENTLY NOW? 299 Responses
Tumblr media
We learn after Annie comes out of the crystal that her father is actually an adoptive parent. Annie, in an attempt to cover up why she’s stalking Kenny in the underground, claims (or jokes) that she was born to a brothel worker and is Kenny’s lost daughter. We asked if this made the joke any less funny to readers, though most of them didn’t think so at all. Only 14% of respondents say the new knowledge actually makes it a little sad. Some people forgot entirely that Annie is adopted and voiced their confusion in the write-ins. 
wait,,,,, she.,,,, she's adopted ??? wha- how did i completely forget about this
Kenny's gay anyway so it's impossible! Sorry, Annie :/
I don't really get this joke tbh 😅 Do people think she and Kenny look alike?
We're all Kenny's lost daughter
It just brings into question her true parentage, like how she can scream summon other Titans and if that’s a royal blood thing or not. But probably doesn’t matter since it hasn’t come up in the manga yet 
I hadn't thought about it before today.
She's adopted?!?
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT MAPPA’S EXECUTION OF REINER’S ATTEMPTED SUICIDE? 302 Responses
Tumblr media
With such a weighty scene, execution is of utmost importance. So we were curious if you guys felt that MAPPA hit the mark. Overall, MAPPA’s take on this scene got positive responses from the fandom, with 42.4% feeling they felt about the same as they did when the scene came up in the manga. 26.5% actually thought that MAPPA did a better job with the scene, whereas 26.2% felt that Isayama’s original take on the scene is still superior. 
I think that while the manga's intent is for the reader to feel Reiner's pain and emotions during what he thought were his last moments, the anime focuses much more on making it disturbing and depressing (both taking into account the same things, just choosing to highlight different aspects of the scene). Not a bad change but I prefer the manga's portayal, it made me feel so much more attached to Reiner
Actual scene was good, but the build up was lacking.
I really liked the flipping back and forth 
Not nearly as emotional as I expected
The lighting was so good in the anime version. 
Bruh we needed the flashbacks cause they depicted Reiner's journey and regrets
I think it was more impactful in the manga, but MAPPA did it amazing too
The scene looked more serious but the building of the characters didn't live up for the moment. 
It impacted me differently than in the manga. I prefer the manga scene, but the anime's was still really good
I was worried about it being overly censored so I’m glad it wasn’t 
The execution was about the same, but it had a bigger impact when you read it for the first time
The drool was a great touch
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING CUTS WERE YOU DISAPPOINTED DIDN’T MAKE THE EPISODE? 292 Responses
Tumblr media
While we shouldn’t dwell on cuts too much, there will still be things that people are disappointed didn’t make it into the anime. The scenes which were most missed this week were Annie’s role in the wall breach, Reiner passing along a tired Annie over to Bertolt atop the wall, RBA discussing their infiltration plans in the field (also known as the tree-uprooting scene), seeing Bertolt, Annie and Marcel surpassing Reiner in their training, and Reiner breaking up Eren and Jean’s fight (noticing Annie is exhausted). Well, at least the manga still exists, right?
I wish they didnt cut some of the flashbacks right before Reiner tried to kill himself. 
Really great episode, but Bertholdt looking up at the wall before breaking it was such an iconic panel, I'm a bit sad
Any cuts are a negative. I dont care how much it makes sense for the anime onlies, I just wish they somehow incorporate some of the small slice of life scenes that made the Marley arc special.
Truly loved it despite cuts and pacing, but just wish we could’ve seen that tree uprooting scene!
I still hold the sentiment that Mappa is cutting way too much from these episodes. The amount of small details getting cut from every chapter/episode results in losing out on smaller moments that in my opinion have a real impact. While I understand a 1 to 1 replica might not be possible, the amount of cuts is too much imo. Missing out on nearly all of RBA assaulting Shiganshina was a huge disappointment, and less Falco and Gabi scenes makes it tough for me to connect to them. Talking to my Anime-only friends though, they are very into this season, so I'm glad to hear it works for them. 
I'm not necessarily sad they cut so much, I feel like as an Anime only I wouldn't have noticed! The only thing I wish that had been kept was Annie's involvement in the destruction of wall Maria. 
I was sad they cut stuff but that’s inevitable.  The only cut I’m sad about is the scene before Bertholdt  breaks the wall.
some of the cuts made sense, some made other scenes kind of occur out of nowhere, like annie with kenny.
SO FAR, WE’VE LOST A FEW INTERACTIONS BETWEEN FALCO AND GABI AND SOME MOMENTS WHERE FALCO IS BLUSHING OVER HER. DO YOU THINK THIS WILL LESSEN THE IMPACT OF HIS EVENTUAL LOVE CONFESSION TO HER? 296 Responses
Tumblr media
While the Falbi romance isn’t a major focal point of the series, it does play a big part in their storyline and overall character development as their involvement in the plot increases. MAPPA has had to let a few scenes go, so we were curious if manga readers felt it would lessen the impact of Falco’s inevitable confession just before the rumbling starts. 31.4% feel that the anime is doing just fine at portraying Falco’s feelings. 28.4% feel the impact will be lessened, but that it’s fine due to it being a minor plot point anyway. 14.5% are upset about the missing pieces and 11.8% think MAPPA will make up for it later. Smaller groups of voters either don’t understand why Falco likes Gabi or just don’t care. 
I'm more dissapointed about Zofia and Udo getting cut than those two.
Kid romance is lame anyway
It's not gonna hit like the manga but it's still pretty important plot imo
What works on paper doesn't always work animated, they're doing ok 
I hate gabi gahh
It is obvious he likes her anyway
Not really, they've established he has a big crush on her since he pretty much came out and told it to Eren
DO YOU THINK MAPPA DID A GOOD JOB OF HIDING EREN IN PLAIN SIGHT? 297 Responses
Tumblr media
We failed to ask this question last week, but it still applied well to this week’s episode. When it came to anime only fans, we wondered whether manga readers felt MAPPA did a good job at making him as mysterious to anime watchers as Isayama did to us manga readers. 40.1% felt that MAPPA did a great job, as many anime watchers didn’t seem to catch on. 25.6% feel that they didn’t do any worse or better than Isayama did. 13.8% feel MAPPA did not do as well as Isayama, as some anime watchers easily caught on. 9.4% think they did completely awful at pretending it’s not Eren. Some write-ins felt we couldn’t objectively judge this as we already knew it was Eren anyway. 
I think the voice gave it away the most. The sneaky animation was great! 
Hard to answer because chapters were a month apart while episodes are weekly and I’ve already read the manga when it came out
well, I can't say much about this. since I know he is eren, I was just focusing on how Kaji Yuki will handle this important speech
They even didn't try to hide him. I'm disappointed because I wanted anime onlines to feel what we - manga readers - felt, when after few chapters we found that the hobo man was Eren. 
I honestly didn't even realize he was supposed to be hidden from the readers/viewers at this point. It was so obviously him in the manga and the anime. Genuinely confused by how many people did not catch on. 
Watching some reactors they were like "...wait...that *looks* like Eren...but his leg is amputated...his leg would've grown back??" but as soon as you heard his voice it was instantaneous 
I, being a manga reader, had a hard time getting how you couldn't see that it was Eren, but some of my friend only got it at the last scene.
Hard to say. WIth the manga, it took me a few reads to catch on, but now that I KNOW, it's hard to say anything.
Yes, I'm watching the episodes with my anime-only friend and he still hasn't figured it out
I think they did a good job, but with anime being the medium it was easier to guess due to both hair/eye color and voice.
It was nice, I was actually surprised that some of my anime only friends didn't even realize that it was Eren talking to Falco this episode
When Eren was finally revealed in the manga, I was *shocked! I had *no clue that was him! I think the anime did a great job, but of course had to reveal him sooner. It was perfect both in manga and anime imo.
It's obviously him once you see his eyes, but I don't think that the animation team were trying to make it a big shock reveal, they want this scene to say "this is probably Eren, but can you be 100% sure" to keep anime onlys engaged and reassure them that the main cast is still relevant.
Yes, but the manga hid him better, it took me way too long to realise it was him while reading
HOW WAS KAJI YUKI’S DELIVERY ON EREN’S SPEECH TO FALCO? 299 Responses
Tumblr media
The vast majority of respondents were very pleased with Kaji Yuji’s delivery on one of Eren’s most prominent speeches. 38.1% felt it was exactly as they had hoped it would be. 28.1% were extremely happy, and feel that any delivery by Kaji Yuki as Eren will be 100% spot-on. 24.7% are simply just content with it. Smaller fragments of respondents just wanted to voice their thirst, or felt that the delivery could have been better. 
Better than I could have ever imagined
I don't really care
Eren is the best main character ever
Not my native language so I can't really tell how good it is, but Kaji's delivery seemed about right
It was a bit fast but good
Very good. You get a real sense of how clueless but trying to be tough Eren really is.
EREN TELLS FALCO HE HOPES FALCO LIVES A LONG LIFE. KNOWING WHAT WE DO NOW, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT HIM SAYING THIS? 298 Responses
Tumblr media
Eren already knows he will bring destruction upon the world, so it’s a wonder why he would bother telling Falco he hopes Falco will have a long life. 64.8% believe that he truly means it from the bottom of his heart, despite knowing his future actions will likely affect Falco. 10.7% believe he said this because he has already seen that Falco will survive the Rumbling. 10.1% aren’t really sure what to make of it at all. Smaller numbers of people think Eren was only trying to gain Falco’s trust and didn’t mean it at all, or believe that Falco will take part in Eren’s eventual demise and Eren is already aware of that. 
He saw him in his memories so imma believe what he says
I'm sure there is part of Eren that hopes for a good long life for Falco. Just like there was part of him that couldn't help but save the refugee kid. But that doesn't mean he isn't any less dedicated to his plan to genocide a whole lot of people. He has his conflicts, but in the end he's still going ahead with the attack on the square and later with the rumbling.
I think it's the same deal as him saving the immigrant kid when he knew that he would die in the rumbling.
In an ideal world Eren would want *everyone* to live a long life--he's been portrayed as someone who cries and disassociates while he commits his genocide so we're meant to understand he doesn't enjoy it. Sadly it doesn't matter what he hopes or wants when he's decided murdering everyone is what has to be done..
THE PREVIEW SHOWED PIECK AND PORCO NEXT TO REINER AT THE DAYTIME FESTIVAL. THIS WAS NOT IN THE MANGA. WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS MEANS ABOUT POSSIBLE ANIME-ONLY ADDITIONS? 298 Responses
Tumblr media
Many of our respondents seem to be looking forward to Pieck and Porco’s inclusion in the daytime festival. 47% are hopeful that this will mean some wholesome bonding scenes between the Warriors and the kids. 26.5% don’t know what to make of it, but are looking forward to it nonetheless. A handful of people think it will be similar to how WIT included Sasha in the Clash arc - adding minor details without changing anything in the story-line. 7% wish that MAPPA wasn’t doing this at all, and 5% are hopeful this means that MAPPA will find a way to repurpose Pieck crawling on all fours next episode. 
I still want Pieck butt
IN THAT SAME VEIN, IT SEEMS LIKE EPISODE 4 WILL ADAPT CHAPTERS 97 AND 98, ENDING ON THE FINAL PANEL OF 98. HOWEVER, THE VAST MAJORITY OF CHAPTER 97 WAS ALREADY ADAPTED IN LAST WEEK’S EPISODE. WHAT WILL THIS MEAN FOR EPISODE 4? 293 Responses
Tumblr media
Who wants to place bets on the contents of next episode? While the largest chunk of people don’t know what to expect in episode 4, others are happy to speculate. 19.8% feel (or are at least hopeful) that MAPPA will fill in some screen time by repurposing already-skipped scenes. 19.1% feel that there will be minor additions, but not too much. A solid 16% feel that there will be a few anime only additions during the daytime festival. 10.9% are placing bets that episode 4 will actually bleed into chapter 100 before the end.
Mappa won't have to cut a lot of stuff like they did to ep 3
The title "From One Hand to Another" immediately made me think we would actually be getting Eren grasping Reiner's hand and transforming at the end (meaning chapters 100 and 101), but that's just so much. The title may just refer to Magath and Willy's handshake. 
What about just enjoying the show?
WHICH SCENE FROM THE PREVIEW ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO? 298 Responses
Tumblr media
As expected of the fandom! Reiner and Eren’s reunion is the most anticipated scene for episode 4, with 74.8% having voted for that. 17.1% are most looking forward to the daytime festival, and 6% are excited to meet Willy in anime form for the first time. One commenter is very invested in the banquet and how it’s executed. 
Not this ep but if they cut the Udo and Kiyomi scene I'll RIOT!
ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS ON THE EPISODE?
I'm upset so much was cut from Reiner's backstory but the cinematography is freakin' excellent I can't even complain
*cheers MAPPA animators for their hard work* ... Perfect for anime onlies, I think. Made me almost wish I hadn't read the manga so I wouldn't have missed the cut scenes.
Cuts aside, the animation was much better than the previous episodes. 
"The one scene I really wanted was Bertholdt looking over the wall and seeing the EMA trio. Of all the cuts, I think that was the only one that was damaging to the story. I also kind of wish that MAPPA animated the reused scenes. I kind of like comparing and contrasting the animation styles of both studios so its a bit of shame that we didn't get anything new from Episode 1.
I'm really impressed with how much MAPPA is managing to squeeze in each episode and I'm content that Reiner's flashback was covered in a single episode rather than two. It just makes sense pacing-wise. The only real criticism I have is that in the flashback scenes where everyone is supposed to be 12 years old, they don't sound 12 at all. Their voices are way too mature, especially the males, and I understand they're voiced by adults, but I feel like they could have at least tried to sound more like kids. Other than that, great episode.
Elaborating on the missing content: they really shouldn’t have cut Annie’s transformation prior to wall Maria being breached. It makes it look like Reiner choked her out and then a minute later bert was kicking the wall through. 
I'm in the boat, where i think it wouldve been better if Mappa didnt cut out so much, but considering what there is to cover, we will live,but i hope they dont end up butchering everything Also the bit with reiner’s dad would be confusing to anime-onlies since it cross-cuts between that scene and him on the parade. I’ve seen some reactors think it was a daydream, or that he left during the parade. 
It was quite rushed, but I understand why they did it, the flashback wouldn't have been as impactful over 2 episodes, and I do think when the Marley arc was first introduced in the manga, manga readers were quite inpatient to get back to the main cast, so they might be feeding off that feedback. 
Mappa has become my favorite studio of all time. Not just in regards to anime, but studios in general. Their discography is on another level (imo) and the fact that on top of every other masterpiece they’ve made, they’re doing an outstanding job with my favorite series of all time just solidifies them as the first and probably the only anime studio that I can truly Stan.
Lots of (I think) Important stuff cut, but the meat is still in place. I like my meat to be juicy and marbled, while Mappa cut out all the fat that makes for a flavorful meal. I completely understand why and I am apathetic about it.
disliked the fact the wall breach was so quickly glossed over, and the transition between mappa and wit style was jarring to say the least
Regardless of the cuts, i think it flows together nicely. The anime has always been more speedy than the manga so i kind of expected this. I don't think it'll get as bad as s3 part 1 in terms of pacing. I trust in Mappa, so far i haven't been disappointed at all. The animation and backgrounds are absolutely stunning. That warrior titan sequence was incredibly well done. Props to the animators!
It was a bit confusing mishmash of scenes, but there were some good moments sprinkled in like the introduction of all of Marley's titans. The emotional reactions, however, just weren't the same as they were when reading the manga, to be honest.
I’m really glad they cut the part with RBA hanging onto Female/Armoured neck by a rope. That whole thing seemed stupid to me. Doesn’t match up with previous chapters and I feel like SOMEONE would have noticed two kids hanging onto the Armoured Titan’s neck. 
I think MAPPA is doing a really good job so far, can't wait to see the battle in Liberio. I'm not bothered at all with the CG titans because firstly, they look really good, and secondly, I understand why they had to do it. I also hope they don't censor many things or cut out some dark scenes that are important to the season because I would love to see everything animated. 
Felt like watching a recap episode... And it wasn't supposed to be one, so
I'm really dissapointed that mappa cut so many things from manga. Reiner's backstory is my favoure part of snk. Suicide scene completly lacks impact. 
I really dislike the fact that MAPPA is trying to show only bad side of the marleyan officers. They removed the gate guards, they removed the scene where Magath is telling RBA to stay safe (on Paradis). One of the best parts of the manga is showing that the both races (Eldians and Marleyans) have good and bad sides. By removing positive aspects of Marleyans MAPPA is creating totally different picture. This way the anime onlines may find the whole rumbling even more justified. The episode was pretty good and the OST has made some scenes to feel more dark and serious (especially the moment where the new titans are introduced), but sometimes I feel like the characters are speaking and acting way too fast. I was waiting for the scene with Kenny and Annie, but it took only like few second and was cut. I love MAPPA's version of Kenny. He has more serious aura and looks more like his manga counterpart. In other words;  wrinkled grandpa with skinny neck :) 
It honestly wasn’t my favorite, but I still loved it. I feel as though they skipped around a lot and there wasn’t a lot of scenes that actually tied together and I’m worried anime only watchers might get confused. Definitely some of the stuff I wanted to see animated didn’t make the cut, but I still love the animation style, the characters and the story!

Barbies Ranked
Wherein I rank the main characters and plots of every movie I've seen in the BCU (Barbie Cinematic Universe)
Clara-Barbie in The Nutcracker (2001)
Tumblr media
The OG. First barbie movie I ever saw. Yes there were barbie movies that came out before this, but this is the only one I care about. The movie that kicked off the ballet phase, so automatic points there. Wierd animation looking back, but really cool when I was a kid. I had a crush on the nutcracker and I thought it was cool that Clara could be kickass and kind and girly all at the same time. Kind of trippy to watch now because it could be a little disjointed but honestly? It still holds up.
Barbie:
10/10 that's a fuckin barbie right there
Plot:
100/10 cant beat the classics.
Rapunzel- Barbie as Rapunzel (2002)
Tumblr media
Okay I'm not gonna lie, it's been forever since I watched this. But I remember I liked the magic paintbrush and hated the prince. Cool sassy dragon sidekick. Boring otherwise. Not because of barbie, she did what she always does, not her fault she got a bad script.
Plot:
3/10 for walking so Tangled could run.
Barbie:
7/10 kind of a flat character
Odette- Barbie of Swan Lake (2003)
Tumblr media
THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE. When I say I cried yall dont understand i fucking CRIED bitch the performance was breathtaking i felt like i was LIVING in the story. This movie made me beg my mom to let me take ballet classes, which sucked, but not this movies fault. It inspired me, a shithead six year old delinquent in training, to want to be beautiful and elegant and utterly tragic. Odette has never been played by a finer actress, Barbie just gets the nuance of this character and by god does she perform. My only complaints are odiles voice is fucking annoying and rothbart seemed to be heavily based on Jewish stereotypes which is obviously pretty bad.
Plot:
9999999/10 I mean even the barbie flourishes were good
Barbie:
1000/10 she snapped
Anneliese and Erika- Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper (2004)
Tumblr media
Wooooo boy was this a dick punch of a movie. First of all, the plot? You need to suspend a hell of a lot of disbelief to watch this without treating it like a comedy. To be fair, it's a really good comedy. I will get it out that I think barbie did great playing two roles at once. Hard to believe that's just her, but recall this is before barbie got her friends in on the acting scene. For what she had, she did great. That said, she isnt the reason I remember this movie. Preminger stole the fucking show. Although upon rewatch , I realized a similar issue with the swan lake thing above so I'm a little worried about the villain pattern here. Will keep looking.
Plot:
8/10 I liked the songs
Preminger:
100/10 she HAS the range
Annika- Barbie and the Magic of the Pegasus (2005)
Tumblr media
Again, not a lot of memory here. There was a pegasus, like a kingdom of them I think? I'm pretty sure this one had more ballet and ice skating so that's cool. I think I remember Annika being like, kickass for a princess movie. I cant even remember the bad guy so that's all to say there.
Plot:
4/10 ice skating cool
Barbie:
7/10 everyone has a wierd period.
Genevieve- Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses (2006)
Tumblr media
This is hands down my favorite movie. Why? Lots of dancing. Lots of characters. The sisters all have distinct personalities. The villain is super fucking sinister as she attempts to murder their father. The music is so sweet. Theres the usual romance, but it's not the main focus of Genevieve to catch a man. She loves her sisters and her father and just wants to dance to remember her mother. Shes brave and clever and I used to dream of having a magic room of my own where I could run away to dance. Basically? This movie slaps. You should check it out, if you haven't seen.
Plot:
😭/10 full bias I root for them the entire time
Barbie:
10000/10 honorable mention to actresses for sisters, very decent work all around.
Rosella- Barbie as the Island Princess (2007)
Tumblr media
dude this movie is incredible. The inherent drama of being barbie Tarzan. And the music? Start humming "I want to know" within range of anyone who's seen this movie even ONCE and its like unlocking a deep cover memory. Her dress was great, the animals were fantastic support, the prince was a legitimate himbo. Villain was great too, huge bitch, huge hair, almost won.
Plot:
67882/10 everyone carried their weight here
Barbie:
9/10 one point taken off because feral island girl had no armpit hair and that always bothered me
Anyway its 8 am now and I did this instead of sleeping so I'm gonna just call it here. I have seen more barbie movies, these are just the ones up to 2008 that I care about. If you guys wanna see more lmk and I'll make this part one.

Hi C!!! It's meeee
Anyway I don't know why but I just kinda want to put this out in the world. You got me on Jercy (I'm not kidding I hated Jercy before you) but Percabeth is my OG ship like they started me ok fanfics and they're like my first real ship period. And I hate all the hate Annabeth gets because I really love her so I just wanted to ask you if you could go more in depth with why you aren't big on her/Percabeth please
Love you!! ❤❤
Hi my Gretch seeing your username (on any of the platforms) makes me forever and eternally happy. Okay onto this beautiful, intense ask:
First things first: I love Annabeth. Like Annabeth as a character? wonderful, incredible, unreal. She is so versatile and full of so many things that make us human and I see her character and character arc as a complex web full of intricacies and weaknesses (yes i said web on purpose).
My favourite things about her:
1. She always has a goal, whether it be long term or, I'm just trying to stay alive in this second. For people like me who kind of go through life on vibes and a vague sense of what they want it is awing to read about and meet people who have solid, planned goals that they live, breathe, and perform by.
2. She is proud of her friends. Since her fatal flaw is pride it is very easy to see the downfall but there is also an upside in that she uses that well of pride as an extension of her and it reflects on others. We know she is proud of Percy, and grover, and Thalia, and why Luke’s betrayal hit so hard for her
3. She continues to break stereotypes. Not just as the dumb blonde (which was admittedly a big thing at the time of the book’s release) but also in her being a girl who saves herself, who goes on the dangerous quests, who isn’t helpless. I never had a lack of female role models in my life but adding Annabeth to the mix only did me more good.
4. She thinks things through: I am kind of impulsive when it comes to certain aspects in my life and I have some thought process for other parts but Annabeth is not impulsive. As much as she has ADHD, in which impulsivity is fairly common, she doesn’t present with it. And it’s refreshing and exciting to see this character that thinks through plans and decisions and tries to predict the outcome, not only so she can change it if need be but also to prepare herself for what is to come. Narratives (especially at the time of those books) were full of impulse and quick decisions and always being on the spot. Hell Percy was exactly this kind of narrtator. And while I love dit because I mean what ten year old doesn't love fast-paced intense excitement? it was so truly wonderful to read about someone who thought further. It allowed you to connect to the next page, chapter, book. 
5. She is a complete badass. And I love it. I love badass women. I could never get enough of them and I think they should rule the world. And I love smart people. I love them. Smartness, intelligence, is so attractive to me. Because it means you have passion, and the ability to think beyond your surroundings. Annabeth Chase is hella smart.
What I've been having a crisis over for the last few years is Percabeth. It is summed up most accurately here but just to continue my thought:
Rick changed the percabeth dynamic so much in HOO that it became almost unrecognisable. I think in the bid to have this whole, everyone is a couple and everyone deserves someone (which boosted Leo’s narrative but was also the cause of great conflict in everyone else’s narrative expect percabeth) he forgot to make them friends. And that was the basis of percabeth. It was the reason percabeth were so godsdamn cute in PJO. Because they were friends who ended up becoming a couple. In HOO they were just a couple. And it sucked out the life of their friendship so that we could only focus on their relationship.
And unfortunately it is Annabeth’s narrative that really brings this home for multiple reasons (all of which we can blame Rick for):
1. This is the first time we got other points of view beside Percy which means everyone’s flaws were much more obvious. Annabeth’s fatal flaw specifically was really played (the entire reason she went on that Mark of Athena quest; why  they landed up in Tartarus). it made focusing on her harder especially because Percy’s Fatal flaw is loyalty so he spent a lot of his narrative focusing on others. this one is mostly my bias as I prefer to have a character’s narrative that also focuses on the happenings of others with the characters personal thoughts. Annabeth was the kind of narrator who focused on herself first. 
2. The entirety of HOO was about relationships. Rick didn’t bother to form any actual friendships with any of the characters (something he was undoubtedly great at in PJO) so when we got to percabeth scenes it was things like: Piper being jealous of them; Percy being worried about them; Annabeth being worried about Percy as a person or herself in her quest; Leo being sad that he was alone; etc. It made liking any of the couples extremely hard.
3. As you (and my other Tumblr babies) may know I don't believe Percy and Annabeth’s fatal flaws work well together. I think Percy is often the one to sacrifice himself and Annabeth sacrifices her wants (material things) and it is not the same. Percy is loyal to Annabeth. But Annabeth’s pride continues to rule her life. For example, if Percy had gotten in the way of Annabeth rebuilding Olympus I fully believe she would have attempted (at the very least) to get rid of him. I don't necessarily mean kill him I just mean he wouldn’t have been in her life. Don’t get me wrong this does not mean she did it or there was even a possibility that she could have. but the reason for that is because Percy is loyal to her. So he wouldn’t have gotten in the way of her dreams. And I think there’s something fundamentally dangerous about sacrificing yourself for someone else’s dreams. If Percy became loyal-to-a-fault towards Annabeth and she then decided to join Luke’s army he would not have stopper her. In fact it’s quite possible he would have joined her. And Annabeth has so much pride for Percy, but her pride-to-a-fault does not lie in people it lies in material things. So she would have gone after her own goals if Percy did not follow. It just seems like it’s luck that they continue to work well together. Percy sacrifices himself. Annabeth sacrifices herself. But only cause their goals align. What happens when they don't?
Please do not make the mistake of thinking I hate percabeth because I don’t. I cannot hate them when those books were the heart and soul of my life for so many years. Percabeth was such a big part of them, to hate the ship, would mean to hate the books and that is absolutely not the case. Annabeth and Percy’s friendships is so important to me. 
TL:DR I love Annabeth she is an absolute badass; I am not a fan of the percabeth dynamic especially in HOO; my bias is present in everything I do. I acknowledge it and try to work to bring all the facts together.
I hope this answered your question Gretch! And do not hesitate to ask if you want me to elaborate on a anything further.
I, of course, also welcome dispute from anyone but remember we do things nicely on this blog.

I became a bts stan on August 22nd right after the Dynamite mv came out, and even though it's been less than a month for me I am now so far up these men's asses it's not even funny lmao so I thought I'd share my member rankings from the moment I learned their names and how it's changed (initial thoughts included in parentheses)
OG ranking aka I saw the Dynamite mv, couldn't tell anyone apart and decided to watch the Carpool Karaoke:

Suga (oh okay so he's the Quiet and Mysterious one but he also looks like a human kitten!!)
Jungkook (my friend who's a lowkey local is obsessed w him so ima just... ignore him for a while bc I think he's just the pretty one and something tells me gets overwhelmingly favored by the fandom)
V (he looks so pissed off all the time. what's wrong w him. also why does his face change every time his hair changes wtf I cannot tell this man apart in relation to the others)
Second week rollout: I have just started watching their live performances and American interviews
J-Hope = (I'M YOUR HOPE, YOU'RE MY HOPE I AM J-HOPE 😭😭💞💞😍💓💓💓)
RM = (He's so weird lmao but I bet it's the American interviewers who weird him out. Also side note the poor guy with Ellen degeneres I just wanted to fucking punch her lmao get away from them demon!!!!)
Jimin +1 (He's like catnip and all the male interviewers they interact with are touch starved cats lmao he's so extra I love him!!!)
Suga +1 (omg he's a pisces??? HE'S A PISCES NO WONDER I VIBE WITH U SO MUCH SUGA)
Jin -2 (he's really the most handsome one wow but I feel like I haven't been able to connect w him yet. he's just there)
Jungkook = (I thought he was entitled at first but now I realize he's just like really shy and quiet and America overwhelms him)
V = (still can't tell him apart unless I identify his hair first. sorry)
I have now been informed they are meant to be originally a hip hop group??? why didn't I hear of this earlier where is this hip hop you speak of: aka I discovered the Rap Line™

Jin +2 (I learned he's the oldest one, didn't even know how to sing or dance until he joined the band, and is super fucking funny. Him and Jimin are a seesaw in my ranking lol)
RM -2 (after hearing him talk so much during my American press tour I have calmed down a bit. he's great, I love him but I wanna feel out the other members)
Jimin -2 (I can't really figure him out, sometimes he's super quiet and shy and other times he's like so extra and loud. Still getting Gay Vibes™)
Jungkook = (hasn't changed my ranking lol but I like him a lot now. doesn't look nor behaves like the baby of the band tbh)
V = (*crickets* *crickets* Still nothing. I'll get back to you)
I'm in too deep now: aka I am now learning their real names and can't seem to stop talking about them
Hobi = (I have learned the term bias. I have now accepted the fact that Hoseok is my ultimate bias)

Jin -2 (I love Seokjin!!! I wish they gave him the spotlight more often the content I watch doesn't focus much on him :/)
Jungkook & V =/+1 (a tie! Idk why but they seem to be the ones I relate to the least. Still now I can tell them both apart and I really enjoy their singing voices)
Current ranking: I decided to make a blog. I don't know how much longer I can hold them off. They are taking over my life and I have NO regrets
Hobi & Yoongi = (tie. I love them both, I would die for them gladly 💓💓😊)
Namjoon & Jimin +1 (another tie! I love Joonie so much I would vote him as president forever. Mochi is a baby and I hope he's happy and loves himself as much as we do)
Taehyung +4 (I suddenly learned his name, learned to tell him apart and out of nowhere this man sneaked up on me and climbed his way to third place in my heart?? what the fuck. Also he looks like the main villain in a movie and I want him to step on me. For more content check out my Tae is Itachi vibes board on Pinterest)
Jin & Jungkook =/+2 (I love them. I cannot choose between them and even ranking them last feels weird to me because I love Jin and I don't want him to enlist I'm not ready I just became a fan a few weeks ago and already you're taking him away from me??? And JK our golden maknae I would die for you but something tells me you would never accept that. I love his tattoos and his doe eyes and I'm sorry it took me this long to get to know the real you)

If you feel like it : develop on your hatred of the new Beauty and the Beast movie? I've heard a lot of salt about the way the music score was handled 👀
O MAN DO NOT DO THIS
Every time I think about this film, rage fills me like a super saiyan powering up and i scream
How do i even start
i think i will do bullet points
these will not be in any coherent order, I take no criticisms on this or my extreme bias
also i have not watched this movie for like years so my rage may outweigh my accuracy BUT
The opening?? With Cate blanchett narrating?? Who do u think u are?? Lord of the Rings? Peter Jackson in an epic trilogy changing the world forever?? You’re Disney eating your own meal and shitting it out again don’t fucking even try it
They didn’t even change anything and the animated intro was much shorter and better
The enchantress enters like Malificent, acts like a trickster god japing bitches, but try to paint her as Good uwu Princess.
Gaston, roughly the size of an ox if the ox was a slightly buff man who would bounce off Terry Crew’s majestic chest like a ping pong ball
You don’t have to be a crusty cynical adult to narrow ur eyes at that twunk picking up a solid 170kg of two people and think CGI
Yes, a queer-coded snivelling sidekick who adores a horrible man is exactly the gay representation we all wanted may I lick ur boots Disney and also suck ur dick but only if we say no homo
Gaston’s sidekick (don’t ask me to spell french) bribing the bar people to like Gaston or something??? The whole point?? Is that Gaston DOES check off the list for Desirable Bachelor in those times!! Can hunt? Yes. Lorge? Yes. Well off? Yup! An asshole? Of course, but does that matter in these times? No! Your privilege is to wash his socks! But Belle is a Different and Special Girl who DOESN’T find Gaston attractive for all the things the village thots do! Gaston is the outer ‘perfection’ that society praises while he’s still a cunt, the Beast is seeing the goodness within no matter what society says! The whole movie is fucking inverted by that one goddamn scene!! I hate this film!!!
this also makes it fuckin weird that they then discriminate against Maurice and side with gaston in the end? The villagers just do whatever the fuck the writer wants them to do and in this it’s so painfully obvious, the CEO of disney may as well be standing there with flags directing their movements in the background, I hate this fucking film
Instead of making cool inventions belles dad just makes like, a weird dolls house if I remember correctly
THEY DUBBED THE WOLVES IWTH TIGER NOISES! W  H   Y
The Be My Guest was so lacklustre. It was like a clown singing kareoke in an empty warehouse while frisbees fly around. You wasted Ewan McGregor on this. Disney has no imagination anymore
To add to that, the ending ballroom scene dance thing?? Lacklustre. Disappoint. Bad dress.
The best character in this film is the horse, who not only remembers the impossible way to the Beast castle, but runs at max speed between the two locations (a half-day journey), regularly with ease, carries the Beast, who IS roughly the size of an ox, and fights off fucking wolves who also seem to totally ignore his presence
Disney robbed me of the one scene I did desperately want, which was Belle deadlifting the Beast on to the main character, the horse
THE PLAGUE
ok the fucking plague ok. You do not mess with the goddamn plague. And this wasn’t cowpox either, this was the full 1500’s shithole Paris Black Death burn-you-alive fucking PLAGUE. Belle’s mom had the Plague, and both her and her dad somehow did not contract this while living with her through her entire sickness, they go to a different town (ISOLATE U HEATHENS) and then?? The Beast and Belle GO BACK to a plague house and run their hands all over shit! Do you know how long the plague takes to die off?? Even TODAY when we dig up a plague pit, everyone has to get immunized, I know this from EXPERIENCE. Congratulations, you and the Beast either have plague or have introduced it to your lovely village. Do not fuck lightly with the plague.
The magic fucking teleportation book.
Why
what the shit
w
t
WHY
They use this shit to instantly Star Trek beam themselves into a plague house
I assume the Beast wasn’t using this to heist random women to see if they would fall in love with him because, like, why would you not do this when you can just politely return them with your stupid magical teleport book
People attack the castle? Use the magical teleport book dumbass
The Beast’s unnecessary, long, boring song from the top of some fucking tower, idk, I skipped it, I got bored
The Beast design. What’s the point if he doesn’t look like feral garbage please. Also his voice pissed me off but I can’t remember why
I dont like him even personality wise
give him to Guillemo del toro you cowards
This was set in Actual History for some fucking stupid reason, and for another unfathomable reason, it was set directly before the French Revolution, so I guess it’s not a happy ending at all. Who wants to be transformed into a guillotine ?
Why is it so fucking dark half the time
The teapot is creepy
Why in the shit did we get the Prince’s fuckin weird tragic backstory? We don’t care. Man get turned beast is what we come for. And why? Why do we need a tragic backstory to excuse his actions? Can he not just be an asshole? Rich, stupid asshole? Who then maybe has to learn a lesson? Instead of oh tortured soul rich boy is so misunderstood! No. Die.
Disney’s absolute desperate need to have characters be ONLY GOOD or BAD BAD makes me want to knee the face of the collective corporation so hard that they are sent into the Hell Dimension
Where did the hot priest at the start go? Why do I think of him sometimes
They want this to be painfully French, but somehow ends up and an even more agonizing blend between painfully British and ass-kissingly american.
Why does the castle just fall apart like that. What is holding it together? Spirit gum? Why? Stone that looks like it has been soldered together with a welding iron doesn’t just give out, or The Earth would have caved in millenia ago
Ian McKellan uses his Gandalf voice and in this film it’s honestly a crime and also jarring to hell
The prince is not hot at all
The stupid dubbed growl at the end which I try so hard to repress makes me want to throw myself into a swimming pool full of mace
The only 1 good thing about this film was the dude who got dressed up by the dresser and was so fucking happy about it.
People complain about the soundtrack, but I for one refused to listen to the songs that bored me within the first 20 seconds, and the ones I listened to were like average remakes of the OGs so that wasn’t really the worst sin
This film so visibly sucked its own dick that this is probably why it was banned in china
Thinking about this film makes me want to commit Violence so I think it’s about time I stopped
I will not be taking constructive criticism or counterpoints to anything about my thoughts on this ever.
Goodbye and thank you for your curiosity

NAME: Amber GENDER: I be Girl  EYE COLOR: Dark brown  HAIR COLOR: It’s naturally dark brown BUT RIGHT NOW IT’S DYED A DARK HONEY BLONDE, it looks more red due to the red undertones in my hair which Shook me but I like it! People can’t tell what color my hair is so I’m a bit of a schrodinger’s blonde right now ha!  RELATIONSHIP: I am happily........!! Single! HA! Not to sound stupid corny but I’m just happily living the “bachelor” life right now hoho!!  ZODIAC: Libra 
FAVORITE COLOR: PASTELS!!! And black ofc ofc  FAVORITE SEASON: Growing up it used to be Summer when I lived up north not so much now moving to hell state where it’s hotter than Satan’s Asscrack, but fall is my forever fav season! A shame the four seasons don’t exist here ;v;  FAVORITE PLACE: The beach! Really any places with water I can swim in because I am literal fish FAVORITE HOLIDAY:  Halloween ! FAVORITE VIDEO GAME: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THIS IS HARDER THAN IT SHOULD BE I REALLY AM LIBRA TO THE CORE this is like asking what my favorite food is... I can’t decide so to not fry my brain cell I’ll just go on ahead and say Chrono Trigger and call it a day ;v; I have a soft spot for classic SNES titles ;v;  LAST SHOW/MOVIE YOU WATCHED: DEMON SLAYER HELP THE BRAIN WORMS ARE TAKING OVER 
WHAT’S YOUR HONEST OPINION ABOUT YOUR MUSE? Oh this meme finna make my followers hate me because I don’t shut up about Elf. But my honest opinion is that sky as a concept was a very refreshing version of Princess Zelda. I love how... freeing she feels to write due to how casual she is when compared to ALTTP Zel. It helps that she’s genki and that I love genki along with cheesy anime protags who rely on power of love, friendship and hope. It’s the warm hearted messages behind those protags for me. 
WOULD YOU DATE YOUR MUSE? CRIES HELL TO THE NO!! OG LOZ WIFEY WILL ALWAYS BE MIDNA SO MISS MIDNA IF YOU’RE OUT THERE...... MY DMS! 
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE KINDS OF THREADS? I LOVE ALL SORTS OF THREADS HJKA but adventure ones with fun plots and developments will always be my go to!! And despite me dying all the time, I do love cute fluffy ones. Or just chill, fun threads! I’m fine with almost anything that seems fun to write and makes me motivate to write now that I think about it!
ARE YOU A SELECTIVE ROLEPLAYER? Bro yes. It’s easier this way.
DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE MUSE? 
YEAH WILL SMITH POSES TO BOTH MY ZELDAS. Sadly, I am not shy with showing my bias. Sky and ALTTP Zel are my favorite muses I’ve played as during my five years into my rp career. 
WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO JOIN THE FANDOM?.
UH! Well, back when the community was more alive I wanted to join because LOZ is my childhood and I love the series to bits man! I’m rarely in fandom spaces, RPC seems... tame compared to forums or god forbid the innocent scroll through youtube comment section where brain cells go to die. I won’t touch on the hell that is twitter rpc because yo.... I tried... 
DO YOU SEE YOURSELF STAYING WITH THE FANDOM FOR A LONG TIME?
Man I’ve been here since I was five, I’m not leaving this hell hole any time soon. As for the RPC itself? It may be small and very dead compared to 2015 however, I’ve met some of the nicest people here who are incredibly talented! It may not be big, but I like the LOZ RPC and I don’t see myself going until... I get bored that is! (It helps that crossover is what I like doing most to keep the muse alive despite semi-dead fandom ;v;) It’s a shame because twitter rpc is more alive than here but good lord I love myself too much to go back there.

Top Ten Fictional Characters:
Tagged by @multifandom-fanatic​ this was a lot of fun. I love talking about characters that mean a lot to me because it means people get to know me better. (I assume anyone that knows me will easily get the top 5. The rest was so hard to figure out.)
1. Tony Stark - Tony is literally my favorite thing in the whole world. He’s my forever favorite. If you don’t like him I don’t think we can get along. He means that much to me. He has changed my life and I am beyond glad this character was created. I love him so much that I’m thinking about changing my last name to Stark. If you want to know who I am. I am Tony Stark.

2. Daisy Johnson - Another character that I love with all my heart. She changed my life but unlike Tony who changed me because he is me, Daisy was more my pansexual awakening. Daisy made me realize that I don’t have to be afraid of who I like. If I like a girl that can literally make an earthquake in my brain I am allowed to do that.

3. Prompto Argentum - This is my sunshine boy from my favorite video game. So like the two before he also changed my life. I became more emotional after finishing Final Fantasy 15. For some that can be a bad thing but for me it’s so good. I used to be so bland. I never cried. I never smiled. I just didn’t care and nothing mattered to me. I was also a pretty angry kid. Then I think my heart broke or something after I played FFXV. I was now able to feel and cry and have emotions and smile and just be happy. It was a dramatic change but I am so glad it happened. I am glad Prompto is in my life.

4. Katsuki Bakugou - Nothing to much to say about blasty boy. I love him and he means a lot to me. I definitely resonate with him a lot more than I probably should. If you want to know who I am, Bakugou and everyone above are the characters to look at because they are the most like me. His issues with anger, issues with anxiety, issues with being put on a pedestal by everyone, and basically all his other issues I feel with and have gone through and I’m still going through. I am so excited to see where he goes.
Tumblr media
5. Catra - This is where the list got kinda hard. I love Catra. I do resonate with her but not as much as the others above. She’s a space gay angry (but sorry for the anger) cat and I want to live like that.
Tumblr media
6. Barry Allen - My other sunshine boy. I am ABSOLUTELY obsessed with speedsters. They are always my favorite characters in media. I also would be a speedster if I had superpowers. Go watch the Flash tv show.
Tumblr media
7. Harley Quinn - Harley is my og favorite character. I probably should have figured out my sexuality with Harley when I was younger but I am also stupid. This character is the definition of my childhood. 
Tumblr media
8. Gwen Stacy - Just love her. She’s my favorite spider character right next to Miles. She’s great and a drummer like me so a little bias. I also love her relationship with Peter that they were best friends but when he died that’s why she knew she needed to be a hero.
Tumblr media
9. Dark Pit - Another angry boy on the list... never. (If the character is angry I probably like them and/or if a character has a tragic backstory) Kid Icarus Uprising was my favorite video game for years before FFXV. This is kinda the game that really made me love video games. 
Tumblr media
10. Kyo Sohma - Probably the hardest spot to fill. I chose Kyo finally because he means a lot to me (and is an angry boy.) He’s from my first ever anime that I watched on my own back in the early 2000s. So Kyo is probably the reason for my like for angry boys and/or tragic backstory characters. Plus my love for anime came from Fruits Basket and I would hate to not have anime in my life. I love watching the remake. I highly recommend. 
Tumblr media
(I probably wrote way to much for each character but that’s who I am. I wrote a 13 page paper about Steve x Tony for a college class so what do you expect)

In 1997, it was obvious to me that Cloud loved Aerith more than Tifa.
Not until I went online all these years later did I discover (shockingly) that the American FFVII fanbase had been purposely misled by egotistical, pompous, self-righteous nerd boys (who now have egg on their face in-light of the Remake).
If you notice, Cloti’s have been working double-time since the Remake came out. Why is that? Well, it’s because the Remake is confirming what we have always known since the OG: despite technically being a love triangle, SE wanted most gamers to play their first playthrough the Clerith way. Aerith automatically starts off with more love points than Tifa, and the Clerith date is the “normally occurring” date.
Clerith is the “normally occurring” couple.
So why did Cloti’s decide to launch a campaign to delegitimize Clerith? And how did they do it?
When FFVII first came out in 1997, many western gamers didn’t understand Aerith. She was (literally) foreign to them. Japanese animation was still very niche back then.
Though the Japanese adored Aerith’s spunky personality & pink dress (and saw her as the obvious romantic interest for Cloud), many men in the United States thought her hair was “ugly,” and that her personality was “annoying.” Far too “anime” for their taste. They preferred Tifa — the loyal, more American looking childhood friend — the “girl-next-door.” Plus, her big boobs didn’t hurt, either.
Of course, since FFVII inherently revolves around a love triangle, there is an OPTION to play it the Tifa way.
However, as a kid in 1997, I never saw Tifa as a threat. I saw her as the secondary, optional way to play the game. The girl you would pick on your second playthrough.  
When you consider...
Official Yoshitaka Amano artwork depicting Cloud x Aerith
Beginning love point totals (you have to make counterintuitive choices to catch Tifa up to Aerith’s automatic 1st place position) 
The non-optional bodyguard agreement
The “normally” occurring CxA Gold Saucer date
Numerous flirtatious moments & obvious hints
Tifa’s constant jealousy
Promised Land scene non-optionally occurring *AFTER* the inherently variable Highwind scene
Frequent CxA cameos
Aerith being the first & last image we see in the entire game
…it is clear Tifa never held a candle to Aerith as the heroine, or as the primary love interest for Cloud.  
To put it simply — Aerith was created first by SE. Tifa was created second. Aerith is the primary love interest. Tifa is the secondary love interest. Obvious common sense.
Unfortunately, fueled by their unyielding, irrational hatred of all things Aerith, they successfully sold the myth (for years) that Cloud x Tifa is the official canon couple of FFVII, thereby brainwashing the entire American fandom against Cloud x Aerith.
They reduced & twisted Cloud’s “undying” love for Aerith as “guilt.”
Saying that even though Cloud chooses to live in Aerith’s Church, has his heart broken every time he visits her grave, reconnects with her in Flower Fields (and cameos), and seeks to find her in the Promised Land, it is somehow all due to guilt over the death of a mere friend. Saying that anything romantic shown in the OG is all a result of Zack (ie: attempted delegitimization).
I guess the symbolism of Cloud’s continued love for Aerith, and all the nuances that entails, is too cultured & sophisticated for them to comprehend. Or maybe they are purposely not comprehending the obvious?
Thankfully, the Japanese understand what all of this means. So why don’t western fans?
The only logical conclusion is because of their deep, burning, irrational hatred of Aerith as a character. Always minimizing & downplaying her role as the first & true heroine & love interest to Cloud.
But now, with the Remake perfecting Aerith’s look & personality, and making it crystal clear that these are Cloud’s REAL feelings, and that Aerith wants to move FORWARD from Zack, you are now seeing a significant swing within the fandom towards Cloud x Aerith.
The myth has finally been exposed & debunked.
Due to this, Cloti’s are currently working double-time to try to convince us that their ship is a “slow-burn.”
Sadly, the other side has spent years using Crisis Core & Advent Children to their advantage by manipulating & brainwashing those new to the FFVII fanbase. Pretending as if Disc 1 of the OG never happened. Saying Crisis Core makes Zerith canon, and Advent Children makes Cloti canon. Simple & easy for the masses to understand, right?
So how, exactly, did they convince millions to believe their great myth?
1. Cloud & Aerith only liked each other because of Zack. Response:
The relationship between Zack & Aerith in CC is officially described as a minor infatuation between two juveniles, much like Cloud’s childhood crush on Tifa.  
In the OG, Aerith says her and Zack were NEVER serious, that their relationship is “in the past now,” and that he probably moved on to someone else because he’s a “real lady’s man.”  
On the “normally occurring” CxA Gold Saucer date, Aerith confirms that although she initially liked Cloud because of Zack, she has grown to like Cloud for Cloud.
Within the lifestream, Aerith tells Zack that she prefers Cloud’s personality over his, and that she will only call Zack if she gets “really lonely.”
In the Remake, Aerith states she wants to move FORWARD with her life in regards to Zack.
In official sources, Aerith is stated as saying she loves Cloud MORE than Zack.
Cloud is stated to be Aerith’s “koibito” (“lover” in Japanese).  
Yes — Cloud adopted some memories & mannerisms from Zack, but he never transformed 100% into Zack.
It is a myth that Cloud & Aerith’s love is null-and-void because of Zack. CC is a retcon. Don’t let them use Zack to erase Clerith.
2. Tifa wins by default due to being alive.
Response:
Tifa winning by default due to being alive is why the other side hopes to god Aerith doesn’t live in the Remake.
You may personally prefer Tifa, but in the OG, Cloud himself clearly prefers Aerith over Tifa, and the other side knows it (just look at the Shinra jail cell moment). When Tifa observes Cloud and Aerith falling in love, she flips out in a jealous rage.
Tifa only has a chance once Aerith is out of the picture. If Aerith lives, it is all but over for Tifa.
Even in death, Cloud has an “undying” love for Aerith that will never go away. Tifa knows this to be true and is stated to be jealous of Cloud’s continued feelings for Aerith.
In the AC credits, Tactics cameo, and the Dissidia cameo, it is clear Cloud still wants to meet and be with Aerith in the Promised Land. Denying the common sense symbolism of this is a sign of someone who has a deep-rooted bias against Aerith.    
Furthermore, Cloud and Tifa are in an established “family of friends,” share zero romantic moments, have tons of continued jealousy, fighting, and sleep in separate rooms. Plus, Barret returns to living with them in DoC. Tifa is never upgraded to anything beyond “childhood friend.”
Cloud & Tifa only have the possibility of being a thing if Aerith is out of the picture. Aerith is #1. Tifa is #2. The other side better pray to god Aerith doesn’t live in the Remake.  
And even if Aerith dies, Cloud & Aerith will always remain a tragic star-crossed love story where Cloud forever wants to meet her in the Promised Land. Tifa’s continued jealousy confirms this to be true.
