The one thing about Arcane season 2 that I'm still a little bit mad about is that Vi and Jinx never really talked. They had a total of 2 conversations in season 1, one where they got interrupted and Jinx was never able to tell Vi what happened in the 7 years Vi was in prison, and the second where Vi still had no clue what was going on. But that's fine, miscommunication that befalls tragedy, it's intentional, and character-wise Jinx wasn't in that kind of headspace for that to happen. But then season 2 rolls around and at no point in season 2 did they sit down and talk about what went wrong, why they made the decisions they did, and try to understand each other. We never even got a loud fight where they unloaded all the negative feelings they had towards each other, or a quiet painful confession that they felt like failures towards each other. They had so much down time that we should've seen all that, the fight in the mines and the talk in the commune should've been that, but they only barely skimmed the surface. Did Vi even find out about Jinx being injected with shimmer? Did Jinx ever find out why Vi left her that night? No, they didn't, and that's just such a shame.
#theres a lot in season 2 that i have issues with but thats just the most prevalent to me#nothing that bogs down the whole season for me. i still think it was a masterpiece but their relationship is the core of the show#and i dont think their ending was satisfying#also it is a fundamental misunderstanding of Vi's character to me to think she would be happy after losing her sister like that#a better ending would have been if Jinx left Vi a note telling her she was just taking a break away from piltover. and Vi understanding tha#because yes i do think jinx needs time away from zaun to fully realize herself again but faking her death for Vi would not have worked#vi would have been destroyed#if vi knew jinx left and accepted it it would've also shown her growth in accepting her little sister was her own person.#and could've truly moved on#also i will never understand the vi slander in season 1. 'she refused to understand jinx' <- she got out of prison after 7 years#after being kidnapped and interned at age 14-16#the tea party was like 5 days after that. she has no clue whats going on. she talked to her sister exactly one time before that.#notart

I must admit I do still not recognize long-haired Essek automatically on the dash. I love him, I'm glad he's thriving with his pretty hair inspired by his boyfriend, I think he looks great, but I am so often like "whomst the fuck is this elf" before I realize he is, in fact, my elf.
#perry the platypus ass problem. but opposite.#no problem recognizing him without the extra head design but the moment you add that I'm like 'well this could be any random elf'#this is definitely not helped by the constant problem of caleb being confused with like four other characters lmao#honestly Caleb being in the picture makes it WORSE#ESPECIALLY given the gale/tav prevalence lmao#to be clear this is not an issue with anyone's art or designs it is merely my brain in overdrive and never settling for the obvious answer

fucked up that dropping gillion off for his training was done as unceremoniously as it was btw. it wasn't some grand goodbye, they didn't do anything special that day for their little boy -- it was just gillion and his father. his sister, his mother, his grandfather, they weren't there. it was just gillion, his father, and a quiet, possibly several day long trip to the capital. it was just gillion and his father at the steps of the palace, just his father that saw the big smile on his face, heard the little boy's promises of telling them everything when he got home. no one had even bothered explaining what was going on to him. he had to figure it out on his own, when papa never came back.
#obviously gill has /loads/ of mommy AND daddy issues#but i think the simple fact that it was reed and reed alone that brought him to the palace#is why his daddy issues are SO prevalent#like hes called SO many people “papa” (as opposed to “mom”; which hes only /really/ used for aster and lunadeyus)#and its just. auauaaggdhghg#he doesnt necessarily think about falyn and reed as his own parents anymore; he asks edyn about their wellbeing like she isnt his sister#(referring to them as “The parents” rather than “Our parents”)#but hes so desperate for that parental connection. he always has been.#and it makes me. emotional.#i want to meet his parents. i want HIM to meet his parents.#i want him to have the opportunity to build a relationship with them#or to find some kind of closure; at the very least.#jrwi riptide#jrwi#jrwi show#just roll with it#gillion tidestrider#jrwi gillion

Gyjo in the fandom
cw: light discussion of ableism
Gyjo… what am I thinking about gyjo…
I like them. I like them a lot, actually. They have paralleled narrative arcs, they complement each other nicely, the romantic subtext is incredibly obvious to the point that even the most homophobic fan you know will admit they understand why people ship it… so why do I also have a problem with it?
There’s a lot of good fanart. Hell, I’ve reblogged plenty. Maybe it’s just something that’s more pronounced in fic.
I’m trying to word this correctly. My issue with gyjo has nothing to do with the text itself. I think my problem is just how people portray it in the fandom.
Maybe it’s because it’s so popular, or maybe it’s the sheer prominence of applying ‘Character A’ and ‘Character B’ dynamics without considerable regard for the characters involved, but I feel gyjo is very prone to flanderization. I believe the intersection with how ableist people are toward Johnny (intentionally or not, subtly or not) and the old tropes these two get shoved into makes it so I have trouble enjoying fics in the fandom.
I’m not saying it’s bad to enjoy certain tropes. I’m not saying headcanons are bad either. What I am saying is that writing is hard, but if you’re going to write fanfiction please have consideration for the characters you’re writing. The arcs of these two are complex and multilayered, which is why I think they have such staying power, but I also think they also provide a good opportunity for us as writers and artists to examine our biases when it comes to the portrayal of certain groups, personality types, mental illnesses, queerness, disability, etc. and maybe come out better people for it.
#gyjo#steel ball run#sbr#jjba#very rough idea of my thoughts concerning their portrayal in the fandom#imo there’s weird implications in any situation where gyro is written as johnny’s doctor or some such since it presents many power issues#again: what I am Not saying is that you can’t have a medical kink or whatever it may be#it’s just that#there’s a prevalence of ableist presentations of Johnny in so many ways but for me it’s especially bad in gyjo fic for whatever reason#perhaps it’s people continuing to write heterocized power tropes for a gay couple#on top of an already complicated presentation of disability and mental illness in the form of Johnny#(thanks Araki)#and to be honest gyro is not treated much better. he’s usually very ooc. I think its probably due to just how much he changes that#people could just find it easier to pick a certain aspect of his personality and make that the whole thing#but I just don’t enjoy the gyjo that’s in the ao3 tag. and I want to emphasize there *is* good stuff by people who do treat these topics#with respect#but it’s not the norm which makes it just not enjoyable to check out the tag#at least to me#vent post#kind of#my posts#gyro Zeppeli#Johnny Joestar#ugh I don’t even know why I’m writing all this#to reiterate this is me talking. on my blog. please don’t hate spam or w/e

i’ve been thinking about her for a while so this is the kid mario and peach would have IF peach ruled openly as a toad 🙏🏽
her name is apricot! when she gets older she also goes by the nickname albie :]
due to the circumstances regarding her existence she has quite the magical reserves and has the potential to eclipse her mom as a mage
but for now, she’s just a kid
#gari draws#gari’s ocs#oc: apricot#nintendo#smb#mareach fankid#fankid#toad peach au#like. technically but not really#i can’t in good conscience have her in the actual au bc 1. headache 2. i can’t think of a situation where she would willingly do this#the relationship issues would go crazy#anyway in my canon toads mostly reproduce asexually using spores from their tails#in this instance peach also used magic etc o7 since mario is obviously not a toad#her name is directly inspired by my study abroad in italy#while i was there i saw so many apricot (albicocca) flavored things#literally like at a cafe or rest stop you could get croissants filled with nutellla pistachio blend or apricot#bags of mini croissants with apricot filling etc#i also ate a lot of apricots while i was there it was insane (and so good)#anyway the prevalence brought me to the headcanon that mario’s favorite fruit is apricots#coincidentally a stone fruit 👀#and perfect for naming the daughter of a peach#sorry but mario will never have sons i tried it like 10 years ago#i really didn’t have plans for the toad au mareach to have a kid but my ass was like ‘ok but what if’ 💀

ppl raised in christian environments ive noticed have a really weird obsession with the concept of punishment. that cultural christianity will do numbers on a bitch's mindset & theyll have not a clue its happening it applies to so many things
#that time i told geist 'i think this issue xyz has is rooted in their culturally christian background'#& he (culturally christian) disagreed but after a couple of hours he came back & was like i thought it over ur right.#like. once u start noticing it u realise its everywhere. its in so many people#it kind of explains the prevalence of punitive justice in ppls mindsets honestly...

imo the neutral state of humanity should be a person with body hair. it skeeves me out so bad that up to 50% of americans (not accounting for other countries) remove their body hair on purpose, some of them going so far as to surgically or permanently remove it.
especially growing up as a girl seeing shaving presented as a norm just the same as your first period or your first bra. seeing shaving presented the same as having a healthy diet and being active. seeing body hair as the same as infections and illnesses.
every time i see a woman in a tank top and she raises her arms and it's bare it always takes me aback. i wish we hadn't been raised like this i think people would feel a lot more free in their bodies if we hadn't been forced into gender and sex norms from birth
#feminism#radical feminism#reclaim radical feminism#obligatory “you can do whatever you want”#and i know there's a lot of people who shave cause of sensory issues.#and i'm sure there's men who do that too but i hear a lot less from them and i've never seen one#sensory issues can be culturally dependent.#[#and of course there's other harmful norms in other cultures. but this one is so fucking prevalent

"I'll be going through my recent pledgers list once I'm home".
Just saving this for future reference... always remember to be careful who you pledge to people, in case you get caught in the crossfire of an awful creator on the warpath. They do love their doxxing... and canceling the recent pledges of innocent people with no possibility of a refund. Classy.
#ceci speaks#text#nonsims#the patreon issue#unidentifiedsims#what a class act#lol#i dont even know this person but this attitude is so prevalent these days#why i dont trust anyone#you can be innocent and still get caught in something nasty

One of these days I am really going to snap. I am going to see yet another instance of nonbinary identities being erased or ignored or changed and I am going to snap
#i try to keep my online presence mostly positive#but being so fixated on angel (<- nonbinary character that is misgendered 70% of the time) is making this issue#so much more prevalent#i am shaking trying to hold my tongue but i may cave and make a post about this putting people (general) on blast. bc holy fuck#SOMEONE HOLD ME BACK.#woofs#goodnight

female characters in media will be like my entire personality and everything I do is because my father left me/doesn't love me, meanwhile for most women I know irl that's literally just some guy
#sure daddy issues can be interesting to explore but it's soooooo prevalent#my dad is just not terribly important to me#male characters too actually why did rick say his father leaving ruined his whole life when he didn't even know the guy...#*dying

I’m just realizing how frustrated I am by how super open-ended Stiles and Scott’s mental health still feels by the end of the series. Stiles never really learns to manage his anxiety. In fact, I feel like the writers continuously justify his anxious paranoia, no matter how unhealthy it is to live that way. And a lot of people have talked about how Scott’s self-sacrificial issues and tendencies to avoid his own problems are frequently encouraged by the narrative if not ignored entirely. Idk I get it was a show about werewolves they weren’t exactly looking to solve mental health. And I understand how stigmatized mental health was in 2011-2015 and still is today. But like. They brought it up? It feels so unfinished It’s just weird that this show ends and so many of the main characters feel like they are still struggling. The only character who gets any resolution to their internal battle is Derek (and maybe like 2% Isaac if you count the tiny side quest of battling through his claustrophobia in season 3A but completely ignore his continued inability to process his mountain of grief)
#teen wolf#Allison I get cause her unresolved mental health is inherently tragic BECAUSE of her death#I don’t like it but I get it#but what about everyone else#Like I knew this was issue with the show but I’m only realizing how prevalent it is now ?#Idk maybe I’m dumb#But I was writing that post trying to come up with like less angsty endings for Scott and Stiles and I couldn’t do it#Like this is where we left them

"Why did they make Michael into Michaela? They took away one of the hottest men in Bridgeton now!" Okay, now it's one of the hottest women in the show. What's the issue now? Still got Francesca and Michael, in a way.
"Francesca's infertility plotline is ruined now! It was so important in the books!" Why can't she still have this particular plot, while still being with Michaela? Why is that suddenly erased now that Michael is a woman? Do you not believe that sapphic woman can't also struggle with infertility? There are multiple ways that the show can still incorporate this.
"Why are they making everyone gay now? It was fine when it was just Benedict but now-" I'm going to stop you right there. What's wrong with having more than one queer character? There are multiple straight people in the show, and in most forms of media, but you draw the line at having more than one gay/queer person? Imagine what it's like for other queer people to not be represented or to only have that one person be a vessel for the entire community. Doesn't sound very fair right? Another thing, because I see a lot of people who say this call themselves "allies", it doesn't sound very supportive when you say things like this. It doesn't instill confidence in your support for the queer community when you can't even fathom the possibility of more than one queer person on your screen without complaint. It's okay to be a little bummed out about the change, but to use rhetoric like above feels very...it leaves a sour taste in the mouth personally.
#bridgerton#benedict bridgerton#francesca bridgerton#michaela stirling#michael stirling#also it really shows how some just completely disrespect wlw and don't vibe with them as much as mlm bc they can't fetishize them#(just want to clarify that not everyone thinks like this nor that there is a problem with mlm ships its just a very prevalent & hard to#ignore issue of how often wlw ships are treated in comparison to mlm)#(i also think it's very sad that mlm ships go through this too bc often times it causes for 1 or both men to be completely mischaracterized#by the fandom just to fit the needs of these people (some who are often straight [yte] women)#pls dni if you can't have a collected conversation on this topic#this is also coming from someone who is a part of the community and i see this a lot however that doesn't mean everyone feels this way#id love to hear others thoughts on the matter (as long as it's respectful)#lgbtq#lgbtqia#tw infertility

umm shit fuck shit i miss genshin impact so badly but i could never actually redownload it and start playing again because that would erase the idealized version of it that sleeps in my head where there were only three regions including dragonspine, the character designs were actually goated, and the lore wasn't exhausting to get through
#jay does a think#sometimes in my mind#it is still 2021 and i am on call with a few friends playing co-op and grinding domains together#and all i had of xiao was that one beta footage of him crushing it in spiral abyss like it was no big deal#and sometimes i am watching the sunset from qingyun peak while listening to the music#because the music was always good#and sometimes i would just mindlessly wander picking up small bits of lore along the way#there were definitely issues in the early game that are still pretty prevalent today#but i have a very . sentimental and idealized idea of what playing genshin impact was like during its peak#and there will never be another formula of circumstances that will allow me to enjoy the game like i did ever again

actually i prefer mexican dubs to american english dubs because they're more faithful to the Japanese script (usually)
My friend you have missed the point doesn't matter if you are watching sub or dub or reading the manga unless its in the og Japanese your getting a translation English Spanish Portuguese Irish they're all very different from Japanese they all change things to make it make sense its also good to point out that it's not one translator for one language there are multiple people whose job it is to translate and they also deserve to be rated on their own merits anyway if you enjoy the Mexican dub over the American English good for you you don't have to try and justify it just enjoy the show how you enjoy it
#ask#anon#for example ive heard the jjk official manga translation has had issues with the translator doing a poor job#thats one person doing a bad job at translating#sorry about going off on you a bit friend#but as you probably know the whole translation argument#its very prevalent in the dub vs sub argument#even tho its still english#sure one has to match the animation#but the other still cant sit there trying to explain all the little words we don't have in English#they used to try its didn't go great#also still needs to make sense in a english conversation
