#OH AND ANOTHER THING

Time for me to complain about ACOTAR because the one thing I love about fantasy worlds with faeries and fae is the diversity of the lesser fae. I love the Holly Black / classic High Fae vs lesser fae with with wings and scales and fur and horns. Cool skin colors and unique hair and ears and multiple limbs and everything under the sun. We get a hint of that in ACOTAR, but it's very minimal and even the lesser fae we get are human-looking men with wings. They don't even have bat ears or interesting eyes or anything. It's boringgggg.
And a big part of the classical High Fae vs lesser fae is the racism that SJM sort of highlights but kind of just....shrugs off? We get Lucien and Jesminda in Autumn Court; we get the blue winged faerie in the first book. We get Tarquin telling Feyre about the things he wants to change in Summer and Feyre is like "awwwee that's so nice of him!" and it's just...never brought up again. She never thinks about it again. We don't have ANYTHING.
We could have a bit of that with the Illyrians but we don't really, because we have Feyre thinking "well the Illyrians aren't really lesser fae, they're different," and we have Cassian and Rhys complaining that they're lesser fae bastards despite having incredible power and influence. The talk about how the lesser fae are treated should be an essential factor for Rhys and it's talked about, but never really shown.
SJM could have the most diverse cast of lesser fae and High fae but she gives us sexy humans with pointed ears and lesser fae plots shoved into the background or half-assed. I'm starving for interesting lesser fae, and I'm honestly annoyed that SJM and ACOTAR is labeled as the epitome of fae fantasy. It could be so much better.
#Holly Black over SJM any day#anti sjm#sjm critical#please I need more lesser fae stuff#jesminda acotar#lucien and jesminda#alis is honestly the most detailed lesser fae we ever got in the series#OH AND ANOTHER THING#Velaris is labeled as the most liberal court and we do see a description of lesser fae in the city#but based on how SJM illustrates the Illyrians and Rhys complaining that he's a lesser fae bastard#and how he would never be taken seriously as part illyrian#there's a weird sort of “there's racism in the Night Court but it's also perfect and accepting of everyone!”#Which honestly could be an interesting way of illustrating rasism towards the lesser fae bc it's like “we don't see color” sort of racism#But it's half-assed#and don't get me started on how the Illyrians are viewed#Sick of the minorities being labeled as barbarian and only valuable because they're into violence and war#The Illyrians don't have any other culture besides violence and it's so flat and tastless

Danny phantom episode “Girls night out” deserves more hate. Like it’s the worst of season 3’s shift into more generic superhero cartoon plot lines imo, it’s gender politics are noxious. Something about the art is especially not working for me. ember and spectra should be trying to maul each other.
#danny phantom#also I’m sure u could make a jazz sam Maddie episode work with a real idea#and not just ‘they’re women and we’re making a Women episode’#but I Don’t currently so I’m just kinda ignoring its existence#I have way more ideas for either sam not being there (so just jazz+Maddie) or Maddie being replaced with Valerie (so sam jazz and Valerie)#also the whole ‘we hate men just because our boyfriends suck ass’ thing is SO lame as a motivation#like u can smell the stench of cisallo men w/ 0 self reflection writing this shit man it REEKS#canon Johnny and Kitty need to break up (and also stay away from high schools but that’s two other epidodes-)#also ember+skulker squicks me the hell out#it’s not canon but skulker reads as like in his 40s to me and embers like in her late late teens/early 20s#OH AND ANOTHER THING#spectra’s ‘’i make men stop existing by blowing a kiss at them’’ power has NO connection to her manipulation+energy sapping it’s so lame

I think it's absolutely RIDICULOUS that the show is trying to make the whole thing a team green vs team black situation. Even though the whole point of the dance of the dragons and the whole point of George rr Martin's books is that nothing is black and white. There is no "this side is good and this side is bad". BOTH the blacks and the greens were shades of grey. Both sides had complex characters and Rhaenyra was power hungry and killed to get what she wanted and Alicent wanted to protect her children and make Aegon king because she know it was his birthright. Nothing was an "accident" and no one sought the throne because of a misunderstanding or wanting to express the wishes of a king. All characters did what they wanted out of survival.
Erm, hi? I usually reblog shit and I don’t rlly get asks so I’ll just give u my counter opinion (or am I agreeing with u? Little bit of both)
I totally agree with you that all the characters are shades of grey and complex characters in their own rights. I DO however believe that Rhaenyra was the proper heir, her father had named her such and the only opposition to her claim was the PRECEDENT that your heir must be a son. In this- I believe it was her birthright not her brothers.
I do believe that by the end of the war Rhaenyra had gone half mad and Aegon was also pretty useless and shitty. All in all I think- from an objective standpoint- they both were pretty bad leaders when all was said and done, they plunged the realm into chaos and death and destruction etc etc for the sake of their own greed and self entitlement.
I personally enjoy the character of Rhaenyra more, and I dislike members of team green (alicent, aemond, aegon, etc). I don’t believe either of them were saints however by any means. Again I believe they were both pretty shitty people that tore apart their own house and country during the Dance for nothing since they both pretty much lost in the end.
I do agree that it’s ridiculous to see it as team green vs team black with one of the sides winning because it’s clear from reading the book that they both lost. Almost everyone died, and while Aegon was acknowledged as king and Rhaenyra as a traitor in the history books, it was Rhaenyras blood in the end that would sit the iron throne for years to come. Does it really matter at the end of the day? They both lost everything and died in horrible ways themselves.
#I think this is the most I’ve ever written on this app#I don’t hate ALL the team green bitches tho#I am an Aegon mommy issues understander#even tho I hate him as a person#also I do quite enjoy gwayne#OH AND ANOTHER THING#(in the show at least) I NEED AEMOND TO SHUT HIS BITCH ASS UP AND STOP BEING MEAN TO HIS MOTHER#I keep coming back and adding things to the tags lol but I’m mad that in the show they took out Rhaenyras teeth#let her me mean!#hotd#rhaenyra targaryen#house of the dragon#aegon ii targaryen#asoiaf#team black#team green

THIS!!!
please PLEASE learn how to tag your fanfics. Don’t tag fluff when it’s angst, don’t tag smut when it’s fluff and please don’t tag characters that ARENT EVEN MENTIONED IN THE FIC!!!!
#seriously it gets so annoying#i just wanna read fics lol#tag them right so i know which ones to avoid when searching#i get so annoyed every time i search on ao3 because of this#and i don't even wanna talk about wattpad#that place is a shithole but it geniunely does have some hidden gems sometimes#quotev is okay i guess but i am never signing up on there lol#i'm always going to be an anonymous reader#for one i always click on the other or m/m tag on the relationship thing#and yet STILL i will get f/f or f/m shit. And the the whole plot will revolve around this girl#like bro i don't care#ALSO FUCKING STOP WITH THE OC SHIT AND THEN PUT IT IN THE X READER TAG#I DON’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR OC AND IF I DID I WOULD ACTUALLY SEARCH FOR IT. NOT SEARCH FOR X READER#AND FOR YOU COWARDS WHO WRITE “alien sex” IN THE FUCKING TAGS AND THEN JUST PUT A DICK ON THE CHARACTER AND CALL IT A DAY#YOU ARE SOOOO FUCKING BORING AND I WISH YOU GUYS WOULD GET NEW MATERIAL. LIKE YOU KNOW#ACTUAL ALIEN ANATOMY MAYBE??#LIKE BITCH IF I WANTED HUMAN ANATOMY SEX I WOULD'VE SEARCHED FOR THAT. NOT FUCKING ALIEN SEX.#and the gen tag is for when the fic has no relationships. Or it's at least not the main plot#SO STOP FUCKING TAGGING IT IN EVERY FIC EVER#SOMETIMES I'M AROMANTIC AND I NEED PLATONIC FLUFF#oh and another thing#DO. NOT. TAG. FICS. AS. FEMALE READER WHEN THE READER'S GENDER ISN'T EVEN MENTIONED ONCE#IF IT LITERALLY DOESN'T AFFECT ANYTHING AT ALL. DON’T TAG IT AS FEMALE READER

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.
Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:
Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao
this is so stupid :D
Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.
#fanart#billford#bill cipher#stanford pines#gravity falls#book of bill#i watched gravity falls because i was curious about all the Toxic Old Man Yaoi on my dash and wanted context#turns out most of the context was in the book of bill tho lmao#look they either banged or married or both while drunk and i will accept no other possibilities#you don't use the phrase 'and one thing led to another' in a PRIVATE JOURNAL if what happened wasn't salacious in some way#i mean - ford didn't exactly grow up in The Most Inclusive Time Period???#dude was probably like 'gotta use this wording for plausible deniability - NO ONE can know i boinked the talking triangle'#in other news - i must bully the baby billy#don't know how much more GF stuff i'll toss up here but i have a few other little scribbles in the works. probably won't color them tho lol#also don't ask me why bill's bowtie stays where it is despite his “pants” being under it. just. just fucking don't ok???#EDIT: oh and since i see this a lot in this fandom for some reason: DO NOT REPOST THIS PLZ K THX :D

a satisfactory answer for Selina
#bruce wayne#batman#selina kyle#catwoman#batcat#bruce#selina#mine#my art#i wanted to make the bat ears fold back SO badly but it looked too odd . unfortunately#wanted to put the collar ON HIM too but also it looked too out of place. SAD .#oh my GOD i forgot i could add IDs to these pictures now !!!#just finished adding that#i will see if i can do that for the other images i posted on this blog#anyway#thats her pookie bear.... her discord kitten...#who said that#this is what batcat is . to me . not that deep#just playful. selina gets to cause a little mischief whenever she wants and bruce gets be ouppy when he wants#thats just what the file names are LOL ouppy 1 2 and 3#in another post i may feel inclined to expand on it instead of in these tags#just know that there are very few people he would let restrain him and she is one of them. they just vibe like that.#younger bruce DOES follow her like a little duckling for these kinds of things. older bruce is too miserable to do fwb w anyone anymore#so they just enjoy each others company and reminiscence#mm. alot of tags for a shitpost.

i have suddenly become obsessed with a theme that HoO established but never proceeded to extrapolate on, which is:
You are Percy Jackson, and you have been swapped with a boy who was allegedly everyone's favorite person, but they have decided to replace him with you. They just met you. You stand next to his best friend and the people he's known his entire life. In his home. In his cloak. In his place. They stopped looking for him.
You are Jason Grace, and you have just found out you have a long lost sister who completely replaced you in her life with this girl you just met. Your lives and personalities are mirrors. She is you, living the life you were robbed of.
You are Annabeth Chase, and you have just become starkly aware that you have been inhabiting the void left behind by your best friend's long lost brother. You and Luke were just replacements for him. Now you have to look him in the eyes when he has nothing and know you took that life from him.
You are Piper McLean, and you have just found out your relationship is fake and built entirely on the memories of Annabeth Chase. You have been given a boyfriend when hers has been taken away. You have no idea how much of it is real or not but regardless you feel like if your relationship isn't exactly in their image that you have failed.
You are Leo Valdez, and you have just learned that you are the echo of your great-grandfather. You are not your own person. You just exist to be a mirror of him. A doppelganger. An actor and stunt double facing all the danger he never had to but wearing his face. To be there for his best friend decades later simply because he couldn't. You are playing a role. A seventh wheel and a pawn for a goddess who carefully sculpted your entire life for her own purposes.
You are Hazel Levesque, and the only reason you are alive is because your brother couldn't save your his sister. You are a consolation prize. An apology. Your existence here is misplaced in every way but you inhabit it anyways.
You are Frank Zhang, and you are a shapeshifter. Inhabiting your own body feels strange and clumsy when you could be literally anything at any time. You are anything and everything and live your life with the simple certainty of knowing exactly how you will die.
#pjo#hoo#heroes of olympus#percy jackson#riordanverse#jason grace#annabeth chase#piper mclean#leo valdez#hazel levesque#frank zhang#meta#analysis#me shaking hoo: what if we actually address the interpersonal dynamics of the characters. please. please. please. please.#frank is the only person on the boat not having an identity crisis tied to another member of the crew somehow and that is FASCINATING#but also WHERE is all the interpersonal literally anything. hello. please. making grabby hands. everybody identity crisis go.#i wanna see the entire argo ii crew stumbling through trying to figure out their places and senses of self!!!!!#particularly in relation to each other!!!!! we get snippets but we rarely ever get the full thing or a resolution!!!#like. HELLO??? Piper acknowledging that her relationship with Jason is artificially sculpted in the image of Annabeth and Percy???#and that her ideals of what Jason and her can be are just that she feels like they need to be like what Percy and Annabeth have????#and thats just DROPPED COMPLETELY????#poor Jason is getting replaced twice. Leo is not his own person.#Hazel at least gets the resolution that Nico does not truly see her as a consolation prize#but Annabeth gets to be hit with the like EIGHT YEAR DELAY of learning the place she inhabits in Thalia's life is the echo of someone else#cause like. yeah she knew Thalia had lost her brother but i dont think it clicked for her until she met Jason that oh. she *replaced* him#Frank at least has some certainty about his identity in one aspect (his curse). everybody else is floundering a bit#except for maybe Percy but its kind of the camps of ''i replaced this person and it weighs on me'' versus ''i have been replaced''
