Iām not really sure how unpopular of an opinion this is in the fandom since itās honestly not discussed a lot, but since itās mentioned rather often on the pod Iāll go ahead a say it. I donāt like Dani/Davion. It feels remarkably forced.Ā
Before I get any further, I really donāt want this to come off as shading any one who does like this ship. Thereās nothing inherently wrong with it, and there are even a few circumstances where I can see the appeal. Everyoneās allowed to like whatever they want to like. Personally, itās not my cup of tea, which Iām about to explain why, but if itās yours, go nuts and have fun. Thatās what fandom is for.Ā
Anyways, I donāt like Dani/ Davion as a couple. It feels very hetero/amatonnormative to me. Oh a guy and a girl are bickering, that must mean they like each other and are secretly pining inside. Iām quite bored of this. Obviously this is a popular troupe for a reason, and I canā¦*understand* the appeal. Iām justā¦ tired of it.Ā
What I *can* say is I do like Dani & Davion. As like, frenemies would be the word I guess. Theyāre very funny. I like that they bring out sides of each other that we donāt really see otherwise. Bad sides, theyāre catty bitches and itās great. I think the dynamic of having two people who constantly, *genuinely!!!* what to rip out the otherās throat, but also, to one degree or another, trust each other is very compelling and entertaining. I genuinely liked the moment in 5.6 when Dani asked Davion to defend Brass because she couldnāt be there. As much as she rags on him, deep down she does actually trust him.Ā
What I donāt like is when this dynamic is turned fully, cleanly romantic. It feels like it just flattens it down a lot. Perhaps this really is just an issue Iām having because of my particular experience being aroacespec. I find a lot of character dynamics far less interesting when they get cleanly slotted into the āromanticā category instead of all the messy facets and feelings that can exist in nebulous platonic/queerplatonic spaces getting to be explored (This is true of any gender parting btw).Ā
Rolling with difficulty is a show I enjoy so much largely because of the vast variety of relationships in it. There are so many different relationship smoothies with different amounts of platonic or familial or alterous love blended in. Each of them have distinct tastes even if they have similar ingredients to another paring. None of the platonic bonds are treated as less valuable than the romantic ones, none are treated like they need to turn romantic in order to deepen or obtain true value. (Shoutout to aromantic Kyana and her bestie Ione, I loved their convo in 5.6 too.)Ā
None of them, I feelā¦ except for Dani & Davion.Ā
I know really all the Davani teases have been out of character by the players, but I actually think thatās why it bothers me. Itās literally out of character. Itās forced. Organically, without outside forces like playersā out of character preferences (which of course have a place in ttrpg settings, Iām speaking solely from an in universe perspective/preference) I really donāt think either Dani or Davion would ever see the other as a romantic partner. It just doesnāt fit. I could see them growing very close, continuing with the dynamic they currently haveā tearing into each other like wild dogs anytime they meet, but under the surface, the trust growing and maybe after a while even respect too. And thatās the dynamic I like.Ā
I think the TL;DR here is something adjacent to: Iām not a fan of romantic relationships being treated as a better version of platonic ones, and, although in general RWD is very good about not falling into that hole, I feel like to a certain degree Davani (as a romantic relationship) does.
So sorry for the essay, but Iāve kind of been stewing on this for a while and it feels kinda good to get it all out in words. (Reiterating no shade if you like this ship, this is just my personal opinion! :D)
Oh this is very fair, I have to say I agree with you. It was kinda funny but yeah it never felt compelling to me, more like a joke than anything.
You put this incredibly well so Iām not sure I can say much that builds upon other than, yes, I get that.
#rolling with difficulty#rwd#I donāt dislike Danvion but yeah I also just#canāt see it#but to be fair I canāt see a lot of romantic relationships#anyway good essay

when a lovely flame dies, smoke gets in your eyes
OR: what were we supposed to take away from episode 4 if not ābucky is a war widowā
#masters of the air#mota#motaedit#hbowaredit#bucky egan#john egan#clegan#like it's genuinely a 1:1 parallel and i'm NOT supposed to read bucky in ep4 as a grieving widow???#this kind of also turned into a rumination on how willfully optimistic bucky is that they'll both make it through the war#(he has no other choice. his heart couldn't take anotherā)#hence the titular smoke getting in his eyes. you understand#he's blinded by love and then by rage. and i adore him#this ended up being more of a video essay than an amv so i hope people enjoy it!!#i had a really good time making it and i'm really proud :')#particularly the sequence of him seeing the bomb in london -> seeing the bomb in germany -> the sunset in algiers#also clearly continuing my mission of making mota amvs to big band / jazz :)))#ANYWAY.#kbsd.amv#kbsd.hbow#40sjukebox

I know I just got done with ranting about tfp/rid2015 starscreamās character but, if you couldnāt tell by my other rid2015 posts, Iām obsessed with rid2015 bumblebee and when I tell you I love this scene of bumblebee making fun of starscream Iām not exaggerating itās so cathartic to me
āBut bumblebee is a good/hero character, why is he being so meanāā did you forget how much starscream hurt bumblebee in tfp?
He killed cliffjumper who, while probably not as close to bee as he was to arcee, was still close friends with bee
He stole the omega keys from the autobotsā base and handed them over to megatron, practically dooming Cybertron at the time to be remade in megatronās image ā of course the autobots get them back last minute, but that doesnāt change how much that loss effected all of them (evidence: optimus shouting in anger for the first and to my memory only time in the series) ā including bumblebee
And his greatest offense towards bumblebee in my opinionā
DESTROYING BUMBLEBEEāS T-COG
āBut it was silas and M.E.C.H. that took it in the first placeāā HE DIDNāT NEED TO HELP SILAS USE IT AFTERWARDS ābut Ratchet was able to fix itāā THAT DOESNāT GET RID OF THE TRAUMA THAT WHOLE EXPERIENCE CAUSED HIM
Itās also incredibly fucked once you think about it more because the t-cog is literally a cybertronian organ ā while silas is at least mostly detached from how screwed this is since itās more like taking parts from a robot than surgery to humans, starscream shouldnāt be since heās also a cybertronian
Instead of being freaked out and recognizing how messed up silasā actions are like any rational bot would, he helps silas make his fake-bot-thatās-using-another-botās-stolen-organ work by providing him with energon (the [at the time] incredibly scarce resource that helps all bots survive) and ā after that plan falls through because of bumblebee finding them ā he destroys the botās organ for no reason other than he wanted to escape and thought that was a good way to distract him
I justāIām sorry?? I feel like bumblebee is incredibly justified for clowning on this cringefailure of a bot for what heās done to him
And this isnāt even mentioning what heās done against the autobots as a whole (both on and off screen) that has probably hurt bumblebee by proxy
I feel like itād be justified if bee also killed starscream ā he already got to kill the bot that destroyed his voice box, I think bee deserves another murder as a treat <3
/joking but also what ifā*gets shot by tfp/rid2015 starscream fans*
#I saw one of the posts that made me make the starscream-essay again and it annoyed me enough to make this#spite is one of the strongest motivators when paired with annoyance <3333#I donāt even hate starscream I like watching him I just find some of his fans annoying as hell Iām sorry lol#the only people who annoy me more than those kinda fans are people who ship bumblebee and starscream likeā#*THROWS UP* GET THAT SHIT AWAY FROM ME NOW#even if you disregard the age difference itās just so rancid as a pairing#WHO CAME UP WITH THAT SHIP I JUST WANT TO TALK *pulls out a shotgun* I JUST WANT TO TALK FOR A SEC#anyways bee should be allowed to tell megatron and starscream to kys <3#tfp#transformers prime#rid 15#rid 2015#rid15#rid2015#tf rid 2015#tf rid15#transformers rid2015#transformers robots in disguise#robots in disguise 2015#transformers robots in disguise 2015#tfp bumblebee#rid bumblebee#tfp starscream#rid starscream#Iām sorry yet again good starscream fans for taking up your tag but this post is literally about him so I canāt not tag him

Some top tier Caduceus quotes I've been thinking about in these Downfall times. Something about how so much of Ludinus' position seems to rest on revenge. Showing Bells Hells the squabbling of the gods as they debate what to do about Aeor, and asking 'You can just watch bad people get away with it?'
It doesn't matter if the gods were wrong for their choices. Killing them won't bring back Aeor and it won't stop the violence that Ludinus and the Ruby Vanguard have visited on the world. I just don't see what it's for.
#I'm not good at writing essays so feel free to take this idea and run with it#I am waiting for Downfall to reveal something that actually impacts the situation now in 843 PD#It could happen! I'm curious to see what it would be!#it could also not happen. and honestly without a potential reveal like that Ludinus' argument is so so hollow and bitter#but. even if something relevant is revealed in Downfall#it doesn't change the fact that Ludinus is manipulating people based on his own desire for revenge#not to go on a tangent but now I'm thinking about Orym#people saying he's bent on revenge? no!#he's trying to make sure no one makes him again.#anyway#this is a standout moment from caduceus#(and I happened to relisten recently because it's ep 98 and I'm doing a parallel relisten)#and these quotes are just echoing in my head as I'm watching downfall#critical role#downfall#exu downfall#cr downfall#caduceus clay#campaign 2#mighty nein#nott the brave#veth brenatto#beauregard lionett

the system gives SQQ a new plotline to complete by the name of āshen qingqiuās shidi seduction storylineā and SQQ is frazzled, as he sees the title and is like ??? excuse me?! how can i do this to my loyal, respectable and ever so straight shidi!!! but system shows the first task and heās like ah? itās just tying my hair up?? what kind of seduction is this..? ā¦and itās worth 25 B-points u say?? hmm not bad, not bad at all!! ā¦.wellā¦ok! sure šš
and so it begins. before the next scheduled meridian cleansing, SQQ ties his hair in a high ponytail and itās honestly kinda nice bc the weather was becoming awfully warm and all. anyway thereās a resounding knock on the door and SQQ composes himself before opening the door and saying w/ a smile gracing his lips, āLiu-shidi!! this shixiong has been waiting for you!!ā andā¦ā¦silence. Liu-shidi looks stunned, eyes quickly glancing at his neck (hm?) before he turns his head, pointedly not looking at SQQ. Thereās an uncharacteristic flush on his cheeks but heās frowning, and with gritted teeth, says: āYou--!ā¦Iāll come back later!ā
And in the matter of seconds, heās gone, and SQQ is just likeā¦..š§eh. SQQ touches his hair and feels a bit sad,,cuz surely this new look of his isnāt too bad, no? but the system screen shines: +25 B-points!! Host successfully completed first task! Keep it up kya~~!
(ć¾;ļæ£ā½ļæ£)ć¾!! ~~
SQQ:ā¦...
heās confused now bc didnāt his shidi just run away from him?? how did he get the points?? system ah, pls explain the reasoning behind these seduction points! but system is a little shit and doesnāt answer so SQQ curses it until heās tired and decides whatever, heās got the points so š¤·
anyways the next task is: caress the arm,,,,which !! hello?? SQQ does not want to end up with a broken hand, thank you very much !! but this one is worth 30 B-Points after allā¦ so maybe if he does it fast enough???
he takes his chance after leaving the weekly Sect meeting, catching up to walk alongside LQG, calling out to him softly: āShidi~.ā
LQG grunts and turns to look at him, eyebrows raised in question. SQQ smiles: āWill shidi indulge this shixiong and recount his encounter with the Blue-Tailed Dragonsprout?ā
LQG hums and is quiet for a few seconds, before slowly retelling his fight with the dangerous beast. Itās nice, listening to the low cadence of LQGās voice as theyāre walking along the path. SQQ even almost forgets his intended task (almost!)
LQG is telling the bit where he hand chopped the head of the beast open (as expected of his strong shidi!!) when SQQ takes his chance and brushes his hand slightly against LQGās. and really, itās almost comical how quickly LQG stops speaking and stiffens up. SQQ sighs in his heart. ofc. really, heās not terribly surprised. ofc his most loyal, masculine, and straight shidi would be uncomfortable!!
SQQ looks to LQG to..uh laugh it off?? calmly apologize for intruding onto personal space?? and then. he sees it. a flush on LQGās cheeks similar to last time and,, his ears are a bit red too now thatās he looking closely.
hmm?
HMM??
SQQ pauses, and lifts his hand again, this time caressing LQGās arm (hopefully very sensually but itās not like heās an expert ok!!) before hooking his arm with LQGās.
āShidi, wonāt you continue the story?ā SQQ purrs, and ok yk what. admittedly heās a bit embarrassed to be purposefully acting like this, but LQGās eyes widen and his face turns even more red, and oh.
Oh.
*(gru voice: lighht buulb)*
ā¦well, isnāt this surprising?
And so it begins (again). But this time, thereās purpose. Itās not just abt the points after all,, esp when his shidi is giving these adorable and frankly tsundere reactions. itās amusing to SQQ and like,, can u blame him for wanting to see more??
system: ā¦ā¦ā¦. (ć¾;ļæ£ā½ļæ£)ć¾!! ~~ Encouraging host!!
SQQ ties his inner robes loosely, so during meridian cleansing, his robes slip off just so, exposing his shoulder and part of his chest. thereās a choking sound behind him which causes SQQ to smile slyly, before calling out: āAh, is shidi alright?ā and ofc he gets no response, so he peeks back and ah, there it is!! LQG is not meeting his eyes and is instead focusing on circulating his qi but!, his face is bright red and SQQā¦.well he finds it absolutely delightful ;).
and so SQQ continues. on a mission together, he makes an excuse that he is āoh so dreadfully tired, wonāt shidi let this one rest?ā so he can take off his boots and free his aching feet, lifting his robes above his ankle while doing so. (thereās a loud bang behind him and he looks back to see LQG standing with his hands clenched next to a fallen tree w/ a very suspicious fist-shaped indent).
when they both attend a local festival, SQQ buys himself some tanghulu and he sucks it lightly before biting into it, savoring the sweet taste of the hardened sugar. he licks his lips before putting his mouth on the entirety of the snack again, and makes eye contact with LQG. LQGās watching him intently, and oh? heās not looking away? his shidi is getting rather bold hehe. so SQQ cheekily smiles , eyes curving up as he sucks the tanghulu once, then twice, before letting it bulge in his cheek. (gosh system wait tf am I doing?! he should feel embarrassed really!! ) but seeing LQGās slack jaw and eyes glazed withā¦something, SQQ finds that he doesnāt rly mind.
and it goes on. SQQ accidentally trips and falls onto his shidi, pushing him down so heās straddling himā¦.
LQG cuts SQQ some fruit and SQQ uses his mouth to eat it directly from LQGās fingersā¦
SQQ leans against LQGās firm..and strongā¦and very wide chest after the meridian cleansingā¦.
and now SQQ is watching LQG sleep (NOT creepily ok) , after insisting that they can share the bed in the hotel, cuz āno shidi i will not allow you to sleep on the floor!ā
and SQQ isnāt entirely dumb ok, itās not like he wasnt aware of what he was doing!! at first it rlly was to see LQGās reactions!!
but SQQās come to realize that heā¦maybe kinda sorta likes it?? He likes LQGās attention on him, he likes it when LQG looks at him with those eyes. Moreover, he likes LQG.
and he can kinda sorta bet that LQG likes him too?? //SQQ recalls the moment when he burst out laughing after seeing SQH trip and fall on his face (serves that hack author right!!) and then a screen pops up to the side: +35 B-Points!! Good job host kya~~!! ^^ and SQQ is like ?????
he looks next to him only to see LQG watching him w/ a gentle smile, his eyes almost,, fond?? (SQQ quite literally feels his heart beating faster and ah itās almost winter, why is it so warm ??)//
SQQ blushes just thinking abt it, his Liu-shidi really is too OP!! heās distracted so SQQ doesnāt see the once sleeping LQG open his eyes to blearily look at him.
āShen Qingqiu.ā the voice is still sleepy and the words are followed up with a small yawn.
āSleep.ā An arm comes to wrap around SQQās waist, to pull him closer and SQQ doesnāt know whether to laugh or cry, so he nestles his head on LQGās chest instead and thinks with resolution, āah tmrw thenā before falling asleep.
(SQQ confesses, and the bed is put to a much better use wink wink)
the end mwah

okay the scene in s1 ep1 when there is the flashback to the hargreeves waiting to say goodnight to reginald but he doesnāt acknowledge them and allison says āheās always busyā only to move onto the modern day scene where there are random noises and movements coming from the study?!?!
obviously itās played for laughs and i know this wasnāt the original intention but the idea of going from the flashback to that scene really makes the study seem haunted for a few seconds, until you realise itās klaus. the man who is haunted (literally) and plagued by ghosts. storytelling at its peak
#i can write essays on why s1 ep1 of tua is a genuinely good piece of media and should be examined as such#regardless of how you feel about the show. s1 ep 1 is a brilliant pilot that establishes the characters and their strengths and flaws#without it seeming preach-y#anyway#tua#the umbrella academy#luther hargreeves#diego hargreeves#allison hargreeves#klaus hargreeves#five hargreeves#ben hargreeves#viktor hargreeves#the umbrella academy season 1#tua season one

The fans: Ugh Sonic was just so preachy. I mean obviously he's supposed to be the good guy, so any uncomfortableness I feel here and any way I feel like Sonic's choices are framed as being why some other people have shitty lives is just bad writing because he is obviously supposed to be right always, but this characterization makes no sense. Isn't he right for the things he did?
Ian Flynn, using Kitsunami to say the (barely even at this point) quiet part even louder: Hey it's almost like ever since the Mr. Tinker event we've been purposely running with the critique of Sonic as being more selfish than he appears. Sonic is upholding a system of Eggman v Sonic that currently benefits him and shuts down talk of how to improve the current system because he likes his own personal enjoyment and he's attached enough to Eggman that he'd rather Eggman pretend to be a good person than be stuck in prison for life. He doesn't even quite practice what he preaches. We are trying to show that the current hero v villain system and Sonic's recklessness currently affects some people poorly and that Sonic isn't a perfect hero.
#fandom wank#sonic the hedgehog#idw sonic comics#idw sonic 2024 annual#2024 sonic annual spoilers#idw somic comic spoilers#idw sonic spoilers#idw 2024 sonic annual spoilers#i just be ramblin#god one of these days I need to commit to the sonic character essay#because you HAVE to be able to see Sonic as a multifaceted character that is surprisingly selfish and a bit self centered despite his image#as a good hero who is always right to understand what the writers for Sonic Prime and Idw Sonic are trying to do#The point is not that Sonic is secretly a bad guy or anything#the point is that we're already primed to assume that anything Sonic does is a good thing because he's a hero and protagonist of what is#considered a 'children's media'#And people who can see those moments in different games or properties times where Sonic isn't being so good as him actually not being so#good of a person are primed to explain it away as flaws of the writing or the genre at that time *because* Sonic's behavior is not said to#be bad or punished in those games#And become we're already primed to assume that Sonic is already the good guy who's making the best choices no matter whatā it's supposed to#be shocking when the narrative takes a step back and gives a critique of this status quo by showing us the effects of it#But instead of having some sort of eye opening event or being willing to meet the narrative where it's at#99% of the people who post here got uncomfortable and just doubled downā saying that because these things are being pointed out and some of#Sonic's actions (that aren't even alien to the games)#are being framed in a not so good lightā then it must not be purposeful. That it must be bad writing through and through and just bad#Sonic characterization#because for people who claim they want Sonic as a series to be deeper and more thought out they sure start to pearl clutch when they feel#like a property isn't being as shallow as the very same games they think kinda suck#anyways anyways sorry about the rant I'll get back to regularly scheduled posting after this#vent post

Realistically speaking, in a Hunger Games Stranger Things au, Jonathan Byers would be Katniss Everdeen.
#i am 100% serious#i could write am emtire essay but basically#their family structure is the same#will and prim are the same#and jonathan would volunteer as tribute if will was ever picked for the hunger games#both have prickly exteriors and struggle making friends#and nancy could make a decent peeta they are both financially better off and have families that are distant with each other#nancy is also a good strategist#hopper is haymitch especially when it comes to father figures with katniss and jonathan#anyway if u guys want to hear more about this or qant clarification i can give it#like theu arent the exact same but jonathan is the closest to katniss u can get in the st universe#jonathan byers#stranger things#katniss everdeen#jancy#everlark#byler#< target audience

the great thing about falling really deep into a new media niche is developing opinions on many new things. the terrible thing about falling really deep into a new media niche is developing opinions on many new things
#fjdkfdjkfd.#anyway. last week a trailer came out for something only called kidnap. which is hilarious because that's a blocked tumblr tag#it's a romance (with the kidnapper. who is secretly only doing it to pay a medical bill). i don't think it sounds or looks very good#& considering who is airing this and their history with Edgy Content the keyword here will probably be Bland. or maybe Toothless#but unfortunately...... tragically...... one of the leads is an actor i'll take in literally anything.#so i've spent my week periodically being attacked by this insignificant bit of knowledge and experiencing shrimp emotions#literally just. going about my day. thinking 'kidnap'. going OOF. then remembering i'm in the middle of brushing my teeth#also. i found out the original writer of bad romance & together with me is ALSO the writer of not me. and it's things like this#that would take like. twenty layers of explanation of these properties in general and also my takes on them specifically#and how it contrasts or aligns with their general perception. to even come CLOSE to explaining the mental hit i took from that#i need a corkboard and some red thread. and then probably three more corkboards#for day 1 that is. i think i have a week's worth of loosely connected spontaneous deep dive video essays i could do off the top of my head#ah well. the curse of having interests#*

i will never be done defending just for once as one of the best songs ive heard from starkid so far. ive flipped through a few of the older non hatchetfield musicals and its STILL towards the top of my list. maybe its because shes ME in another world. if id switched schools earlier, or been "too gay" or "too smart" for the boys in fifth grade. if my shoulder had never healed and i had to quit dance years too early. just for once is a gorgeous, incredible representation of what it feels like to watch everything, even your own life, happen, watch it all from the outside, and never be able to take charge of it.
ruth fleming is a wonderful, weird, gross character and not enough people are cheering for her. in this essay i will
#i WILL write the essay#i think i could#anyway my brain is consumed and jfo makes me cry#love this show#raspy rambles#starkid#npmd#nerdy prudes must die#also all of the songs are good#just saying#this whole musical is gorgeous#i just really love ruth and her little arc#and her death#perfect and gorgeous is every way#ruth fleming#ruth npmd
