Complaining abt Suicide Squad yet again but the fact that they have Waller exposing the alien community to space racist attacks and talking abt how she got to her position through deceit and being a terrible person and stuff is just. Ahsfiwueh JUST SAY YOU DONT KNOW WALLER.

Anyways literally the 3rd mission of the Squad ever (and the first framed as smth Waller picked and not orders from above) was the Squad discrediting and stopping a rogue vigilante who was only arresting POC and funneling white people into white supremacy groups (of which he was the most prominent member) in SUICIDE SQUAD #4. and it's explicitly framed as this mission being personal for Waller that she's hiding from the government bc its illegal like. Guys. Please why are we having her incite (space bc comics) racist attacks now

Also the whole "Amanda got her position through deceit and being a terrible person" NO. she KEPT her position through being shitty and playing complicated political games!!! She wasn't always that way like there is a difference and it is IMPORTANT ppl PLEASEEEE. In Secret Origins #14 we learn Amanda's backstory and she used to be a normal, caring person! Like even after she entered into working in government and politics she wasn't automatically morally bankrupt like please people. She was originally given control of the Squad by Reagan (*sigh* 80s comics...) to distract and get rid of her because she was so successful at pushing progressive social policy in Congress. Acting like she's this static pillar of evil is such a waste of her character and so fucking uninteresting and disrespectful to her arc it drives me MAD.

Like I am NOT saying Waller is all sunshine and rainbows, she fucking SUCKS (said w love <3) but like there's a human being there. It's a progression, she has a character arc like please, DC, please!!! They've fucked up Waller so bad and made her so opaque and uninteresting she can't even be the protagonist of her own story for fucks sake!

Like I don't know how many times I have to scream it until DC hears me or remembers but WALLER IS THE MAIN CHARACTER OF SUICIDE SQUAD. ITS HER BOOK. yet right now she's a cutout to be used as the villain wherever the writers please. Even in her book we get none of her perspective really displayed, no exploration of her thoughts with any kind of understanding of the role she traditionally has played and was made to play in the story.

this tweet (https://x.com/littlefaiths/status/1817775320918847691?s=46&t=L7Z7tpqXDaxqrMiLS0ZuBA) made me think about the different way mulder & scully communicate/express themselves. like i say all the time i love when they speak each other's language, and i mean that in a lot of ways. but how do you think about their communication styles? the way the express feelings & thoughts etc. (and the way they understand each other "despite" their differences)

this is the tweet: "people read the pillow talk scene in plus one in such constant bad faith but it’s truly one of my favorite scenes ever...i think sometimes people want vulnerability/exposure from scully but are completely uncomfortable with the ways that her character textually expresses herself"

and i said that because i think people can fall into a lot of traps with scully, viewing her character in a larger context and obsessing over what every piece of dialogue or blocking Says about the Author and about Society and about Women (which to be clear isn't isolated to this character, this is a widespread way of thinking) which can bypass what is being said about her in a literal sense...trish, you and me talked about this recently, how we wouldn't want our every move and breath to be dissected based on what it means to feminism or what the implications of our decisions are. and as a writer, i wouldn't want my work to be broken into pieces like that either.

and so i find that there is a lot of projection and judgment in reading any particular scene, and not a lot of curiosity. which is a longwinded, overly-problematic, unnecessary way of saying that scully is a loser babes! she is an extremely lame person! you don't have to throw around words like "fertile" and all this fiery rhetoric to discard and disregard every single scene.

to what i was saying last night: people want vulnerability and exposure from scully. they are completely uncomfortable with the way that she expresses that. if she wants to sneak into her baby daddy's bed years after leaving him and mope that maybe he doesn't 🥺 like her anymore, that's her. same woman that showed up with wine and cheese and got ditched for monster hunts. same woman who begged to autopsy a mutant sewer worm to maybe spend 5 minutes with him.

same woman who at 13 stole her mother's cigarettes; not because she wanted to smoke, but because she knew her father would care.

(same woman who, after her father died, believed in a psychic and looked up at her partner to say "i thought that you would be pleased.")

to address your question, i don't think they do speak the same language. i think they speak each other's language, most of the time. sometimes they don't. sometimes they get hurt feelings. sometimes they get ditched (with wine and cheese, or fresh tattoo ink). they're learning, though, and they're learning themselves too. by the time she knows to creep into his hotel room and ask, he knows to say "i'll always be around." she knows to walk out and go buy her own dinner, if he can't focus. he knows to sit still and stay in and let her make weird jello.

that's learned. that's maturity. that's twenty-five years. of picking up, and putting down, which more than anything is what i view scully's way of communication as. she spends her career traversing any length, and her life venturing out just a little.

unpopular opinion for this area of tumblr, beware+also abuse talk warning

admittedly, all the super casual bashing of saikis dad makes me really uncomfortable, like i dont totally disagree but i wish we didnt just all do it in the middle of other completely innocent headcanoning 😭 its never tagged or warned..

my personal opinions on kuniharu are not as extreme as some are on here, like i think he sucks but i dont think hes a genuinely bad person, he was just thrown into a situation he didnt know how to handle.. he reminds me of those parents who prepare to have a baby and get pregnant on purpose, but then the baby has a disability and suddenly, everything changes.. because they didnt prepare for this unlikely scenario, but it happened anyway, and now they have to figure out where to go from here.. kurumi and kuniharu BOTH made mistakes and didnt handle their genius/psychic kids in ways they shouldve, but its because they werent prepared for it

I got new library books, I’m excited to read a Cordelia Gray novel! I probably should start with the first book, but I was impatient and I saw the second one at the library and decided to check it out.

Writing wise au gust is still going though tomorrow’s and the next days are both shinshi so go figure. I should find time to write my actual WIPs. The sibling verse is due for an update and I gotta write midnights of course.

[ogdit]

I wouldnt call bb a slow burn more like late ignite since the actual romantic teasing began in v6 finale before that there was nothing that can be construed as romantic moment between them not the burning the candle with yang helping blake and winking ( friends can wink at each other see clover ) ( also friends can dance with each other yang tried to help blake in v3 nothing romantic about that

how'd you get into my house

[shearah]

u kno what really sucks

when self proclaimed toxic friend (friend A) catches wind of a conversation you had with another person (friend B). in which B says A is "kinda toxic".

A then comes to you upset about it. and asks why you didn't defend them.

there's no kind way to say "bc they right"

What do you make of the "not liking jc/ calling yzy abisive is racist" bullshit? Brought to you by the person who straight up lied about the function of ancestral halls.

Look, I’m Black. I can talk every day of every year about racism in fandom. I can talk all day about racism in this fandom. It’s in how people consume content created by creators of color while disparaging said creators and their cultures and their knowledge of their own cultures. It’s in how characters of color are treated like fetishes or dirt, no in-between, and pointing it out is grounds for harassment. It’s about how fans of color are chased out of fandom spaces for not falling in line with the most popular opinions. It’s how some fans of color would rather throw the rest of us under the bus for white approval than either admit that they don’t hold the popular view or just stay out of a discussion they do not understand.

Uwu tsundere!jc and tiger mom!yzy are some of the MOST popular fanons in mdzs, but somehow saying that this isn’t canon (and is actually offensive but—) is racism. This is racist, but not bullying fans of color who don’t like these characters, calling us racist for sticking to canon, calling Chinese fans from the country and in the diaspora fake for saying that this is fanon, and also arguing that Chinese culture just “naturally” celebrates child abuse is the “true racism” that these people are trying to protect fandom from?

Hm

I have no desire to put this person on blast but my god it really shows when people didn’t play high elo overwatch pre role lock (not to mention how hard it was to have a completely stagnant meta for pro teams who weren’t the kings of it like titans and shock, which I wouldn’t bring up unless this person wasn’t mainly talking about OWL, which they were)

Some of you weren’t listening to Taylor Swift when she said “You should find another guiding light”. If you stop treating celebrities like gods you won’t be so surprised when you find out they’re human.

Okay but real shit, Vi fucking Caitlyn in the cell Jinx was just in and also Caitlyn never apologizing for: literally hitting her, going on her little power trip with chemical warfare after feeling a smidgen of what the people of Zaun have felt for SO long, having her squirrel looking overbite shoved in our face in favor of Jinx(sorey this one is petty, i’m just so tired of all the glazing of her character, UGH!), but apologized for fucking someone when her and Vi weren’t together? Where’s that manga panel meme “this shit’s so ass :,)”

Btw this isn’t me being mad at you, just wanted to rant about my frustration with how poorly handled the romance was. Like it’s unique to see such a forced ship IMO that everyone somehow still seems to eat up. I’m a lesbian and yet I couldn’t enjoy it because the existence of them being together feel forever tainted by how Jinx was treated by the show.

Also on the topic of the ship being forced, I HAAAAAAATE what they did with Maddie. Her being a mole for Ambessa truly just felt like a justification for killing off “the competition” so that there’s no other woman’s shadow on the relationship, if that makes sense. I’m not saying it wasn’t possibly planned long ago for the plot, but the way it was handled left such a poor taste in my mouth. I remember thinking in the scene when Cait, Maddie and the other enforcers are about to use the gas, against Ambessa, and someone is shot dead in the neck “Wow I hope Maddie isn’t killed like that character as a way to basically get rid of the competition, that would feel so cheap” but somehow the show did an even worse one two minutes later 😭

Just so disappointed with the season. Jinx’s story conclusion and how it was shoved to the side and then rushed felt bad to me. And also how still despite it all, it was the oppressed who had to “step up and put their differences aside”. All only to get a single seat at the council while Sevika is looked at as if she’s dirt by the others. Nothing changed and I feel like the plot of class differences and oppression + sisterhood was HUGELY lost in season 2. I do like what they did with Jayce and Viktor’s conclusion, it was a nice way to wrap some stuff up and also how it ended together like it began together, but I definitely feel that the season could have had 10 episodes instead of 9 so that the pacing within ep 9 hadn’t felt so rushed and Jinx and Vi’s story arc feeling so pushed to the side of Jayce and Viktor’s conclusion. I also feel like the ending for Mel is insanely open ended. I don’t mind open endings but not only has she just been forced to kill her mother, she’s also lost her lover and now she’s put in the position of a queen AND her arcane powers are STILL extremely new. Like what’s gonna happen now with her?

I mean I'm not the best to talk to because while I liked arcane, I literally only got into it like a week ago and am not that emotionally invested in the plot or the chars, so I was pretty easygoing throughout season two. Especially since from the first few episodes, it was obvious there were huge pacing issues and that I kinda prepped myself for being let done in some way by the end of the season/show. I think S1 was like so beautifully done, one of the best pieces of media in a long time that I've seen! But you're right even one more fucking episode would have helped, so I can understand being upset by a lot of stuff seemingly not getting as fleshed out as the viewer kinda hopes for. I didn't mind Cait and Vi too much, like I thought it was cute and I could see the appeal of the dynamic. I'm also a fan of Cait as a character archetype (like, she is basically an Allison Argent proxy to me lmao? And I know how divisive that sort of char can be). I actually found Vi the one lacking to me throughout the show, which I was bummed about because I felt she had a lot of potential that I just never felt was recognized. Jinx was the star for me and her relationship with Vi was definitely was definitely one of the most compelling and interesting aspects of the show that got kinda lost in the tangledness of S2 production. But overall, I thought they at least stuck their landing after I was watching a bit terrified for them for the last few releases.

I kinda hope they reeval and decide to do a S3 even if that is only a few extra episodes. a mini release if anything, like they def could expand on a few things before closing out for real, but if they leave it like that forever I won't scream and cry about it, like it delivered okay at the end to me. But S1 was its peak and it's not even close lol.
