I finally watched breaking bad (all within the past week or so while I worked, finished it and watched el camino last night) and I'm confident this isn't a new thought I'm expressing or anything but genuinely how DID an entire generation of dudes convince themselves Walter White was cool and admirable and intended to be sympathetic. I know ppl just lack media literacy sometimes but I'm still so confused
I don't think I've EVER watched a piece of media that so blatantly depicts a guy making the worst possible decisions at every turn and having his life ruined for it and not being redeemed or made sympathetic in any significant or lasting way. the kinds of justifications villains USUALLY give that make people consider them "morally grey" or "tragic" or whatever (everything I did was for my loved ones, I did what I had to to survive, once I was in this I couldn't get out, I just needed you to trust me so I could keep you safe, etc etc) is ALWAYS framed as complete self-serving bullshit when Walt says it, and one of the only shreds of personal growth he ever exhibits in the whole series is when he finally fucking admits that. every time he does something even remotely cool or drops a quotable one-liner, something terrible immediately happens that makes everything worse and makes him look like an unreasonable idiot asshole again. by the end of the series the ONLY characters they can still contrast as being morally "worse" than him are literally a bunch of bloodthirsty neonazis who kept a guy in a cage for several months. this show is practically SCREAMING at you the entire time not to admire Walt. why did every dude I knew in highschool have his face on tshirts and Facebook pfps.
I just don't get it. at least with The Dark Knight's Joker it was like, a feature-length movie and that's it. you spend a lot less time with the Joker and it has a lot less time to delve into his motivations, so there's way more room for flanderization and misinterpretation as people extrapolate the few cool/interesting/sad things they saw into a whole nuanced misunderstood guy in their heads and online. Walter White has 5 seasons' worth of 45min episodes to convince you beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is a miserable fucking loser who ruins everything he touches because of greed and selfishness. if you weren't watching it for that, what WERE you getting out of this. what DID you think this show was about. am I just missing some key piece of context from 2012 or whatever that would help me understand this
#buny text#breaking bad#also I'm vaguely aware there was a big movement of fans who blamed everything on his wife and said she was the worst#which like. obvious misogyny from the primary audience of teen boys and young men aside#she's not really worse than any of the other adult characters?? she sucks real bad in the first couple seasons but so does everyone else#half the point of having all these characters be so shitty and rigid and unwilling to grow or accommodate others is so that#they can serve as landmarks to show how rapidly walt is abandoning his morals and spiraling into self-justification as the series goes on#the people you hate in season 1 are largely people you sympathize with in season 4 and 5 because compared to walt they're saints#idk. it's just weird having grown up around the fan culture for this show for the past decade or so and then finally watching it#and just being completely baffled now that i know what they were responding to

I can’t really explain what stranger things means to me. A show about outcasts, by outcasts, for outcasts. When you’re different, sometimes you feel like a mistake. But you make me feel like I’m not a mistake at all, like I’m better for being different.

had a conversation last week with a 10 year old girl about the s5 finale and i can’t stop thinking about it. she said nathalie is the best because she loves adrien enough to lie to him about his father so that he stays happy. completely convinced that emilie was resurrected at the end and shocked when i suggested otherwise. i’ve been dying to know what the children think happened and it’s so interesting
#anna rambles#ml s5#ml season 5#ml#i personally don’t think that adrien’s gonna find out anything in future seasons#which to me feels unsatisfying#but it’s interesting that (from my sample size of one child) maybe the kids would see that as a good thing#it felt to me like the show was framing it as a good thing at least#so it would be interesting to find out how more of the (young) target audience perceived it#bc i feel like most of the adult fans i’ve seen online assume that adrien will find out or at least would find it unsatisfying if he didnt#when i asked if she thought it could’ve been amelie at the end her jaw dropped and she said ‘no because he’s always down there talking#about how he’s gonna bring his wife back! he says it all the time and that’s what he did!’#& i was like. girl yeah you’re right😭 that is also what i thought when i saw it😭#anyway I need to talk to more kids about ml. for science

which financial consultant told watcher they’re popular enough to completely pull out of youtube and onto a paid streaming site lmao
#they’re soooooo fucked and honestly they deserve it#creatives deserve to be paid properly for their work but alienating your mostly young audience is a crazy move#i also think they’re underestimating just how many of their watchers are casual and won’t follow them to a paid site#and they just do not make enough stuff to justify paying $6 per month when you’re rationing your laundry money#awful decision in so many ways#watcher#watcher entertainment#we are watcher#ryan bergara#shane madej#steven lim

gremlyn's danganronpa: despair time x limbus company au (drdt spoilers under cut up to chapter 2!!)
i LOVE making aus with a target audience of one person (1) by blendering two of my current interests together. this truly was our despair time.
everyone except mai's "sprites" are drawn based on official sprites, and they're meant to be height accurate! or, uh, a valiant attempt was made. at the very least i got to practice drawing everyone 🎉
(complete but constantly changing AU & character notes under cut: LOTS and i mean LOTS of yapping down there. spoilers up to chapter 2 and literature girl insane MV. content warning for "standard danganronpa stuff"; the hidden text in here is about the same level as drdt's hidden tumblr page quotes)
first up is a quick crash course on limbus company! that being said, i don't think i explained myself well at all, so i recommend just checking out the official website. or straight up playing it. i'm happy to answer any and all questions, though, whether here or in my limbus-centric main (@iamjustagremlin)!
and now here are the character notes. i have a Lot to say.
one more minor thing i'm 99% sure forgot to include and am too lazy to fix: the canon sinners are each assigned a color code and a cool descriptor (it doesn't even need to be an adjective. cool factor always wins), such as "oblivion yellow", "dreamy gray", and "inferno red". my brain won't let me tackle these yet, but my first attempt for xander was "courageous crimson", and my first attempt for teruko was "cursed clover".
once again, if you've made it this far: thank you for reading! and my askbox is always open for mutual brainrotting 👉 👈
(also, if you squint at the character notes for long enough, there might be even more to read... it's not much, but it's honest work. do note that it should be about as "heavy" as drdt's hidden tumblr page quotes)
#gremlynposting#ingin menjadi illustrator namun enggan menggambar#drdt#danganronpa despair time#limbus company#gremlyn's drdt x lcb au#the target audience for this post is one (1) person and it's me. yippee!#a secret tool that will help us later#xander matthews#rose lacroix#charles cuevas#arei nageishi#ace markey#arturo giles#j rosales#nico hakobyan#levi fontana#min jeung#david chiem#eden tobisa#teruko tawaki#veronika grebenshchikova#whit young#hu jing#mai akasaki#monotv#nearly hitting the tag limit here but making it work!!#also so sorry for no alt text on the au notes :( tumblr literally wouldnt let me add that much alt text

the way that the Girl is literally such a realistic depiction as to what it's like to be a young girl who finds a woman, fictional or otherwise, that makes you feel like for all the patriarchy has us underfoot, we still have a goddamn chance. the visual analogy regarding the lit up puzzle piece & the way that it is both the idea that makes your world click along with the thing that inspires as much. the desperate attempt to remake yourself into the woman you know can survive. the realization that to survive like her, you have to let that go & be yourself instead- even if you still carry her with you. the way that, regardless as to whether she's aware of your existence, you'll always carry a piece of her in you- the traits she handed down to you, the will you found in your attempt to embody her, etc. & the way it culminates in the survival you learned being adventure, being fulfillment.
#one piece#opfl#one piece fan letter#also tbqh the lack of an official name is actually a bit of a perk to me#she's an audience insert for young women for what is nearly if not the most popular shonen of our era#like it works.

my thing with normals epilogue is that I think it comes from normal and sparrows like fundamental misunderstanding of each other. Like I think normal is unable to see sparrow as a full person past his parenting decisions, but I also think that sparrow doesn’t really understand the full extent of the effect his words had on normal and what it would’ve taken to rectify that. Like they’re both so caught up within themselves to fully understand the other and that’s so real and true to me.
#As someone who loves both normal and sparrow#I really like this ending#I like that it’s messy and I like that it’s unsatisfying and I like that it’s real#Sure we as an audience can maybe say “well sparrow doesn’t deserve that”#But if that was really your dad? If that was really what you went through?#Plus a whole other host of traumas and horrors on top of it#I think it would be very hard to reckon with#Especially as a young person#dndads#dungeons and daddies

Always get so worked up when people are like “Batman doesn’t kill people, he just puts them in critical care, isn’t that worse?” And it’s. NO. No it isn’t worse because that’s the point the point is that he hurts them to the point they wish they are dead I-
Modern Batman especially, but even early Batman portray “Batman” as something ominous. It isn’t normal, it isn’t what a normal person should want to be like. Batman is unflinching and merciless amd drops out of the shadows because he’s supposed to be creepy!! He’s an eepy creepy lil dude!
The original origin of the “bat” part of Batman was bats being seen as a bad omen. They’re ominous, they denote bad luck. Bruce says that criminals are all superstitious, so ge decides to dress as a bat. This is literally the first explanation given for why Batman Batmans, and it all leads back to the sole fact that Bruce is trying to scare people.
He WANTS to be the Boogey-Man hiding under beds, he’s AIMING to be the eyes watching ominously from the shadows, he’s TRYING to be scary!
Death is scary, but the lead up to death is the scariest part, isn’t it?
Horror movies are scary because of the unrelenting figure stalking through the night. Slashers were scary because they killed with knives- it took multiple, painful stabs to die. Saw was considered scary because the injuries the traps inflict, the horror stems from imagining yourself in that position and wondering if you could hurt yourself to the point you would wish you were dead to live.
That’s the horror of Batman. An ominous omen. A creature that doesn’t stop until it reaches its prey. A stalker who knows more about you than you know about yourself. Death is more desirable, because death equals escape and this is a monster you will never be able to escape from.
That was the horror of It Follows, wasn’t it? The monster was everywhere and nowhere, always following, unrelenting, and the only way to escape was to give it to someone else.
Batman makes villains wish they were dead and that is the point. That is literally what he’s going for. Bruce Wayne has stocks in Gotham Hospital EMTs and he’s going to cash in right before he retires. The pain is inflicted on purpose. “I don’t want to kill anyone” is not the same phrase as “I don’t want to hurt anyone.” He wants to hurt people. Just, undeniably. Mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually; he wants them to be hurt.
And I can’t stand when people act like hurting people goes against his morals. Has Batman ever said he didn’t want to hurt anybody? It was a lie, if he ever did, because he definitely hurts himself literally everyday on purpose. He’s an eepy! Creepy! Spooky! Little! Guy! Let him be an eepy creepy spooky little guy!
#the inane ramblings of a madman#long post#dc#bruce wayne#batman comics#batman#horror#halloween#it’s the harvest moon#may our stresses be over and our passions return#anyway#i will always stand by batman being at its core horror#it isn’t always horror for us as the audience#but it certainly is always horror for criminals#also i just think bruce enjoys scaring people#i think he likes it#my evidence? he keeps scaring people#i’ve been a workin on the railroad#aka i’ve been so stressed out with my job that i come home and collapse#i had to get this batman analysis out of my system#i need to obsess over batman for my mental health#my eepy creepy spooky lil guy#i think we’re all sleeping on the inherent horror of the batfam#stalker man who never shows his true emotions man with a hair string trigger stalker 2 tiny child raised to assassinate#stalker young women who would kill her father if it weren’t for the laws of this land young women trained to assassinate people#and duke over there literally glows in the dark#like#i could so easily write horror of these people#honestly

I absolutely love that Ayesha’s “coming out” was her choosing not to do it the “normal” way. she is very blunt and very honest, but she also lives in her own little world that she’s built and doesn’t like sharing it with outsiders (like Amina at the beginning) and she’s intensely personal and private about her feelings. she has girlfriends, her band knows, her brother knows. she opens up to Mahmoud once he makes it clear she’s in a safe space. And I love that for her. no one can say about Ayesha that she isn’t authentic to herself!! she is a boundary setting queen!! and I think it is a mark of authenticity that the show acknowledges the emotional labor that navigating society requires as a queer person and you can choose not to take that on. especially for a show heavily about resisting tokenization and not wanting to be a diversity pawn this writing choice makes perfect sense mwah chefs kiss 💋
#I came out very young bc I had no impulse control and I don’t regret it but it was so dangerous and traumatizing! and I feel like#narratives abt coming out are sometimes written to make str8 audiences feel good abt themselves#and not abt the safety and autonomy of the queer person#ayesha alkaaf#we are lady parts#walp#walp season 2

why you don't post harry potter quotes anymore?
hi, I love hp but on this blog nothing about/written by j. k. rowling will ever be posted again. I have my very old hp books and dvds, and sometimes I still read/watch them, but I will never buy new merch, new books versions etc. this is how I try to deal with the fact that a BIG part of my childhood was created by a person that I despise. is this the right way? i don't know. But it works for me.
#this is a safe place for anyone#I can't accept that books written primarily for a young audience were created by someone who spreads trans hate#ugh she's disgusting.

can't believe a show based on a videogame (usually games adaptations are notoriously bad, which isn't the case here tho) gave me the beauty and the beast/twisted mirrors/enemies to traveling companions/ruthless antihero+optmistic but still badass heroine who takes none of his shit/age gap but make it sexy dynamic of my dreams. as much as i love maximus and i think he deserves the best writing ever because 1. he's a clever deconstruction of the aspiring Knight bro who's actually a bit of a loser and, as much as lucy, sees the world in black&white at first and then doesn't get what he thought he wanted but what he needs (or at least i hope he'll eventually get it), and 2. he's a cutie and i want an epic love story for him too, it's very funny how they tried to give us a puppy kind of romance and the tumblr girlies still fixated on the "toxic ~she bites his finger off and he cuts hers off and sews it on his hand in what we'll pretend it's a symbolic marriage rings exchange or whatever~ asshole who used to be a nice guy/good girl™ with a lot of spunk and hidden anger but unshakeable morals" kind of relationship.
#mind you idt the writers will ever have the guts to go for this pair or anything and i'm perfectly okay with the maximus/lucy romance#but still. they tried to give us the wholesome love story between two cuties with a killer side#and the fandom went ~mmmh we kinda want for that girl and the noseless radioactive ghoul to fuck nasty actually#shhdhdhf i'm sorry but this was so predictable to me. conosco i miei polli#also. i don't fully understand those who see it as a father/daughter thing? just because it worked on tlos#doesn't mean we need the same kind of dynamic here#1. despite him being an actual father (or at least. he was 200+ years ago) i've never seen a less paternal character than the ghoul lmao#2. lucy is an adult woman. young but in her mid twenties i guess? cooper had (and maybe still has) a daughter but the kid was like. 6 or 7?#lucy doesn't need a daddy she's a grown up. stop infantilizing women all the freaking time#let them be fully equals!! let them be bickering road trip companions/a killer squad/tentative allies who eventually form a real bond#i SWEAR if the writers go full parent/child bs with them in s2 because they're more popular#(at least on ao3. i don't expect the same level of insanity from the general audience)#than the canon ship i'll riot. idt they will but still#..... maybe they should go for a hot max/lucy/coop polycule instead. that would be interesting lmao#vaultghoul#fallout#val rambles in the tags#val speaks#txt
