#another for a shipping series lmao

Picture this; Bones holding Joanna, rocking her to sleep and the part in Beautiful Boy where it’s like “The monster's gone, He's on the run, And your daddy's here” is playing. :,)

Fatherhood gives you certain... skills. Coincidentally, this is also how Jim finds out that Bones sings.

Another thing I’m interested in speculation-wise is how Haymitch’s character will be handled. I like to think THG series has great and well-written characters because they have flaws.

I think fandom and our own biases kind of form rose-colored glasses of certain characters, which is understandable.

And Haymitch is arguably more of the (book) fandom’s golden boy than canon-golden-boy Peeta.

But like, I’ve seen a lot of posts during my time being really into THG, and something that’s stuck with me is the idea that Katniss is not very likable. This was before Tbosas came out but this is even more so true for Coriolanus!

They’re both from a limited perspective, so we get to read all the messy thoughts, the unpleasant and angry ones. They do fucked up things and it’s so great to read.

But now with Haymitch being the confirmed protagonist (💖💖💖), it makes me think of what we’ll see him do. The thoughts he’ll have.

I jokingly typed somewhere “what if she [Suzanne Collins] makes him [Haymitch] a cheater or smth 😭” (idk if this was to a friend, a tumblr draft I never posted, or like just somewhere on my phone or smth) and I wasn’t being serious but the initial worry was still there: “what if my favorite character does something that makes me think differently/more negatively about them?” I’m not actually “worried” about this for SotR, but it’s still something I think about.

This also applies to Maysilee and every other character we know of in SotR. It also ties into the unfortunate reality of SotR being the headcanon destroyer 💀

There are so many what-if’s that come to mind with Sunrise on the Reaping,

Again, I’m not actually too concerned (at least I’m trying not to be?) that SotR will ruin Haymitch or the entire way I view Panem, but I’m interested to hear what others have to say. Because I’ve pretty much seen this sentiment before ever since SotR was announced.

(what is definitely NOT the way Aka Akasaka came up with Kaguya-sama:)

Akasaka: [looks at Death Note] this is great, but... Akasaka: What if,,,,, this was a heterosexual* high school romcom,,,, where a lawlight-looking meronia was a lovely couple between man and woman,,,,, and Teru Mikami was a cute, rich, anxious schoolgirl who listens to praise kink asmr Akasaka: [actually makes that premise work really well somehow]

[imavikingo]

There is something that I can’t understand and will never understand about fandom “culture”

Why EVERYTHING (or a lot of things) need to be canon or acknowledged by the actors/directors/producers to be accepted by the fandom? In specific ships?

And why when a “ship” (two characters, really) have more screentime than others/other characters aren’t in the picture anymore, people take that as a victory as see their ship as more valid and “actually canon”? And mock/harass others for it?

Also there is this thing people have been doing a lot too: Thats calling everyone that doesn’t like the ship you like names (and also calling them terms that before actually meant something awful but nowadays can be said for simply tagging the incorrect ship in a fucking post)

Canon isn’t always the norm here kid. At least when it relates to ships and scenarios. (Bc if we’re talking about characterization… yes it needs to be canon in a sense or we’re writing/making ocs out of canon characters)

Most of the more popular ships will never be canon and have never been, especially the gay ones. (See Drarry, Narusasu, Frodo/Sam, Johnlock, etc, etc)

So why suddenly we care so much about what NEEDS to be canon or not?

Why people NEED to see their ships be canon so badly?

Sure, I can be seen as a hypocrite because Ive been talking about Stucky a lot in the canon and what happened in EG, but they actually did that themselves. The directors talked about gay characters, the actors talked about Stucky. So actually it isn’t something ludicrous or anything. (I’ve never thought they would actually make the ship canon -bc that would be a big problem for them “how can you make Cap America gay!” And shit- but I thought they would at least make them still be friends or friendly or acknowledge the “bromance” and they just killed the friendship in one scene with the most ooc shit ever). In fact, I’m more annoyed by that. They assassinated Steve’s character and Bucky’s progress.

Nevermind…

Why people fight so much about ships and use terms that shouldn’t be brought into stupid shit like this?

Fandoms are supposed to be fun and to have discussions (in good faith) about the canon. What we like and what we don’t like about it.

Besides, a lot of current media are about stuff that’s been remade over and over again. So they have a lot of adaptations and you can pick and choose too, if you want.

And if you don’t like the canon? Easy! Do analysis, criticize it, write fics, do fanart, do creative shit or simply ignore it! No one is forcing you to keep on watching the show or the stuff you now hate/cant stand. That’s what Im doing at least.

Sure, I criticize some people and movies a lot and get actually annoyed by the disrespect towards/assassination of some characters, but at the end of the day I can only shrug and say “it is what it is” and leave it at that. (Meaning not giving them money for the new stuff/not watching nor caring about it and only acknowledging the old things I actually care about and like)

But I don’t insult or disrespect other people in fandom because of it. And also I don’t harass the directors or actors either, ffs.

Idk, Ive always been on the sidelines of the stuff I follow, I’ve never been on the thick of fandoms so maybe thats why I don’t understand.

And I’ve also not seen so many crazy shit (the most crazy stuff Ive seen is people calling others racists for tagging a ship incorrectly and also others inflating the tag of a ship in ao3 so their ship would be “the most popular” with most fics, in that fandom) because I actually curate what I see. I don’t like a ship? I mute, if I can’t stand a person or a ship? I block em. Simple and easy.

I’ve always drawn stuff for myself, read fics and made headcanons. Only recently I’ve been sharing stuff more openly, so maybe it’s that.

Idk.

I’m just tired of seeing discourse and people fighting over this stuff.

[bonefall]

what are your least favorite canon ships?

Yes.

...

I really don't like the canon ships and the list of ships I do like is shorter than the list of ones I hate.

I think Bramblesquirrel is easily the most insufferable though, since it's centric to so many conflicts and always seems to regress into uncomfortable arguing or downright abuse.

Clear Sky x Star Flower also sucks. They wasted a perfectly good femme fatale on stroking Clear Sky's ego again, playing it straight that he "deserves" another woman to give birth to his children and appreciate him for his Galaga high score or whatever

And also Gray Wing x Slate. Finally, a woman has materialized out of thin air so he gets "real" kits after raising everyone else's. Wowwwww.

In comparison to them, I have a hard time justifying my dislike of FireSand and TwigFin. They just irk me in comparison, it's not red hot hate like it is for the other three.

Also LeafCrow. God. Leafpool my love I'm so sorry but your tastes are cringe.

AUGUST REC FICS

Hello, my sweets!! Here I am, once again, for yet another month of reading and living vicariously through our one and only Reader. I haven't read much this past month, and most of these sweet authors are people I follow (and shockingly, some are my mutuals, too !!! I'm too much of a fangirl to believe it's true).

[genericpuff]

holy crap okay so

I'm two episodes into Kaos

normally I keep my expectations pretty minimal because, let's be real, the Internet - and especially Tumblr - has a tendency to severely overhype new series to be way better than they actually are and it often leaves me sitting there like "that's it? that's what people were freaking out over for weeks?? that was just a bunch of cheap ships and tropes that i've seen 123785902380 times before" LMAO

BUT thankfully compared to other series like Hazbin Hotel and The Amazing Digital Circus, I haven't been worn out on excessive fandom exposure prior to watching Kaos, so I didn't really know what to expect going in besides what folks have told me so far - it's a modern-day Greek epic, and it stars Jeff Goldblum as Zeus (which is, unsurprisingly, peak casting).

That said, I'm very pleased to say that so far, the show is absolutely blowing me away. The set designs, characterizations, weaving of all the players into a central narrative led by a very coy narrator, all of it feels both refreshing and respectful to the source material at the same time.

so uh yeah that LO animated TV show... we have reason to believe now that it's gotten picked up by Amazon Prime, at least according to the showrunner's LinkedIn and posting history from February of this year that seems to imply LO may have been picked up by Amazon-

(but still, nothing's really been confirmed because they're being so tight-lipped about this you'd almost think it's because there isn't a show happening at all cough)

But even then, that means at best we still won't see anything of the LO TV show adaption for another 2-3 years, depending on how production goes.

Why am I talking about LO right now? Well it should be obvious - Kaos double-whammied LO by beating it to the punch at its own game.

I mean, just look at the creative choices alone in the design of the Underworld and its rulers, our beloved Hades and Persephone.

And yes, the entire Underworld is color-graded like this, something so simple and yet effective in communicating the nature of the Underworld and what it stands for - a place where the past lives on through the dead, paused in time, devoid of the vibrant color grading found in Olympus - or "Olympia" as its been named in this retelling - which is, by the way, a visual treat to take in every time it's featured.

(and yes, that is S-tier-companion Billie Piper on the left, but I will not tell you who she's playing, you actually really should go into this show as blind as possible for the thrill of figuring out these characters as they're introduced <3)

That's not even getting into the narrative structure of the plot itself or the phenomenal casting and acting, but again, I don't want to spoil too much as the show is quite new, and I want to actually finish watching the show myself before I get more into the details of its story and how it delivers it (I'm very much hoping I will still be singing this show's praises at the end of its 8 episodes, please for the love of god don't jump the shark, I don't think my heart can take that kind of pain again.)

All that's to say though, Kaos is, so far, exactly what us disappointed fans of LO deserve after all these years, and frankly, I feel like whatever is coming for the LO animated TV show is really gonna have to step up to the plate to both live up to the bar that Kaos has set as well as stand on its own without being affiliated as a cheap Amazon knockoff living in its shadow. Sounds a little familiar and a bit ironic, doesn't it?

[dukeofdelirium]

Death Note to me is a gay Shakespearean romantic tragedy and I mean that unironically. And no I don’t nor have I ever “shipped lawlight as a joke”. I genuinely think these characters are soulmates in the most fucked up way possible and I think their relationship was the closest thing either ever experienced to intimacy or love lmao and I also think that while they are destined to collide and be the end of one another, that the series makes a case for them in a better light had circumstances been different and that is what haunts me and will forever. They are quite literally fated for better or worse. This ship compels me like nothing else I’m serious
