#audience network

[sevenines]

i saw this tweet and found it interesting for two reasons. one is that some people base how good cartoon network would be to toh by how it treated su, and despite the fact that su’s treatment by the network was considered poor at the time, now its thought to be exceptionally good in comparison to modern shows.

two is how exactly su got impacted by a limited budget. a common criticism is how characters like connie, peridot, and lapis are left out of missions. but balancing a lot of characters is not only hard but also costly (extra animation, extra voices—it’s been revealed that the show is limited to a set number of characters per episode otherwise they’re over budget). animation mistakes are not uncommon since retakes cost extra. the entire reason the original show got cut short was due to loss of funding!

You know your expectations for a kdrama are low when you thought the absolute worst about the best friend in a love triangle but she turns out to be mature and a real friend. I'm in shock

What is going on??? I just did a whole 180-degree spin on my opinion about this show.

Honey, if she did, they would be married with kids by now hahahahahaha

Shame on me, really, for getting excited about the bare minimum, but like I said, dramas had led me to think the worst. Then again, it's really no surprise this girl realized it on the first chance she got when my guy is not even being subtle. He isn't trying to hide his feelings AT ALL, and the biggest mystery is how on earth does FL not see it? well actually is not a mystery anymore

and instead of going the petty route, she chose her friend, said goodbye to her first love (and more than him, the idea she had of him) and walked away. Honestly in that moment, in this episode, I gained so much respect for her.

I don't think the first ep was good but it intrigued me, and honestly, the second ep only managed to retain my curiosity enough to check out the next ep, but episode three has changed it all and what makes this even better is that this drama is just 8 eps!!!

I do feel a bit bad that this drama is gonna be here just for a month, but on the bright side, there's just so little room for dragging the plot and making unnecessary choices that only disappoint me further (happens to the best of dramas, let's admit it) so I'm mostly glad. With half the normal length of a drama it means this is gonna get to the point and the annoying second lead isn't even gonna annoy for long.

P.S. I knew I was gonna love JongHyeop in this, but the man is seriously carrying the drama (Sohyun girl, you're one of my faves, but it's the truth!) The second he laid eyes on HongJu I knew he'd been in love with her for years and could never forget her. There's just so much love, pain and longing whenever he looks at her, it actually hurts to see because the girl couldn't be more BLIND.

i truly believe that soulnet is the battle network concept of all time. it takes the series' themes of friendship and worldwide connection to their extreme -- a world in which human souls themselves are connected to the internet, where humanity achieves peace by feeling the emotions of others and empathizing. but they are also aware of the problems inherent to such a system, where one bad actor could ruin everyone, which is why tadashi and wily decided to shelve it in the first place.

dr. regal is aware that humanity is not actually fully evil, or else he would not need nebula gray. if the majority were evil, simply connecting everyone would allow evil to thrive. but in a way soulnet is the reason megaman is able to overcome nebula gray at all -- he can feel the emotions of all of his friends on top of lan encouraging him. overloading the system with negative emotions can be impactful, but so can overloading the system with hope and love.

in a way, i think that a lot of other battle network concepts tie into soulnet. full synchro is souls uniting between a navi and operator. soul unison is the souls of two navis uniting. with soulnet, it's everyone. we are all connected.

it's an interesting topic that i think leaves a lot of room for exploration. how does this affect the concept of the individual? how much does it affect behavior? to what extent does it control the lives of everyone? is everlasting peace ever truly possible? it's a lot to think about and i've never seen anybody really talk about it in-depth.

i understand that this is rambly but i hope that i've gotten people to think about it a little more. soulnet is so dear to me and i want people to see the potential behind it. i am always open for discussion if anyone has anything to add

im about to be a lil spicy here but i don’t think there is anything wrong with people who are into rp solely to make fun little ships.  we are all sitting on silly website held together by duct tape writing writing fanfic and making up original short stories with people across the world.  and i mean this in the most positive way,  it literally does not matter at all.  it affects no one except you and your writing partners.  coming onto tumblr solely for specific kinds of threads or dynamics is no different than filling your book shelf with one genre or trope because it’s your escapism from the world.  it’s a hobby.  if your blog is a romance blog,  good on you.  if your blog is a horror blog,  bring on the spooks.  if your blog is an angsty whump fest,  boy do i feel that.  it’s for you.  it’s your way to blow off steam and cope with the world.  it does not matter (positive).

every so often the demons in me are like 'oh yes you could write an Original Fiction book' and then five seconds later I'm smacked with the present reality of what all of that entails. nevermind! at what cost!

hot take: Miles and Gwen should NOT end up together during or at the end of Beyond the Spiderverse.

Hear me out, this is not anti gwiles at all.

I think as the audience we get to see the nuances of Gwen’s situation in ATSV and we sympathize with her and understand (well most of us). However, try considering it from Miles’ perspective.

Honestly, if Gwen put me through the crap she put Miles through (intentionally or not), it would take a LONG time before I gave her the chance to be close friends again, let alone dating.

I’m not saying gwiles shouldn’t happen. It can (it is a very cute ship) but it requires a lot of time and healing for both of them, time that honestly I don’t think BTSV is going to have. While I think the movie is probably still going to rush gwiles, I personally think honestly it would be better if at best it was hinted but not outright. But hey, we’ll see.

Last thing, yes, I do think the poster is bait. I do think Buddie shippers are going to be disappointed in the end, and I do think Eddie will remain straight.

I think Tim ships Buddie, but is not going to make them canon, because I also think he probably views it as more “jarring and profound” to “subvert audience expectations” as most show runners and writers say when it comes to choosing chaos over a sensible queer storyline.

oh another thing tho, i keep seeing ppl talk about how 'essential' some of the episodes they got rid of are to the plot and i'm like girl... these were morality tales. these episodes were made to teach children good morals. i don't think people who hate the new adaptation remember as much about the original show as they thought bc these eps are everywhere in this first season and the writing is pretty obvious, childish, and unneccessary imo

[housewifebuck]

I thought that too! The quotes read like they're trying to rewrite it. Like it's just "look at these bros being soft with each other, it's groundbreaking" and yeah that's sweet but not exactly new as a friendship dynamic and they've been through too much for that to be it

YEAH EXACTLY
