#boboiboy and fang deserve better

[clawedmist]

Okay okay I agree with with you in most thing about Boboiboy. I love that show too since Im younger but even that I could admit the show have a lot of flaw. It's make by human so it make sense for it to have flaw.

Boboiboy OG series is peak. Monsta come a long way to make Boboiboy work. From Macikman idea that get rejected and for Monsta to focus on the child that Macikman suppose to take care, Boboiboy. Not to mention when first 4 episode was rejected as Boboiboy idea not fully eccepted and Monsta already lost a lot money making 4 episode [Damn right animation cost THAT much😭]. Monsta can do nothing other than scrap everything and start over so they can do the redo for it. Everything is mention by people on monsta in BTS video.

The OG is peak because it's unique. It's light hearted series that are meant for entertainment and comedy for young people. It have its own humor and episodic ep. Simply enjoyable. It's just silly show for kid and people love it.

After gain the popularity that needed we get the movie 1 which was awasome!!! Sure the story is simple but the animation ate so hard that time. Monsta really like teasing the audience about Boboiboy hair in that movie. Not to mention we got some of power sfera lore in that movie. And my shooke face when seeing Duri and Solar for first time is something I cant explain.

Boboiboy Galaxy s1. Just like everyone, I also hype when first seeing Boboiboy again on my TV. But again to me BG s1 is soft reboot. It's decent series to show that Boboiboy take turn to another story line where everything is more serius. It did a decent job establish what the show about to be after that. The humor still funny and all. And we get much more world building.

Movie 2, okay we all know this movie have limited time to finish. Monsta only have a year do all that. As mention in BTS, Monsta practically rush everything to get the movie done with that limited time. Damn, full animation movie in only a year?!. The plot is intresting and capture the film emotion nicely. The animation is peak. Really need to give animator credit they deserve for it. It's also good we got lore about Boboiboy power too alongside Ocobot other power. Rentaka is amazing villain and good character. Love his design and his va voice.

Then BG s2....oh boy its a mess!! Mostly the writing of the show. Monsta really reuse a lot of staff for sake of nostalgia to keep people watching the show. The character writing is something too. They make other character that not Boboiboy fell so flat. Like they just exist only for sake of Boboiboy like puppet. Especially my boy Gopal and Fang. The writer did them real dirty. Gopal character just dont feel funny anymore as it was force to be funny.

You're right the model bother me too. Boboiboy look sooo umm round? Like more kid like. I love mature Boboiboy as Monsta themself said that they want Boboiboy to grow up along side of audience. BUT other understand why, why Boboiboy model look like that. Before the s2 was release Monsta mention in their Instagram post that they'll be changing to new animation program for making s2. They trying new staff along the way. The new program is call Blander.

Sori arc was decent, the really just cut everything to put story worth of 9 comic to 4 ep. It's okay but could be better. It done what it suppose to done and that it's to establish Boboiboy new motive in this season. My other problem is they decide to make Qually part of the gang!! Hate that

Beliung arc...oh boy the conflic design is everything we need to talk about as they really change everything from the comic. The armor and especially Beliung design. I understand why they change the design. The creator mention the need to keeping the hat as part of Boboiboy character and to fully embrace the insect theme of the Kuputeri's planet. I cannot take Boboiboy break down seriusly with THAT design. But other than that I love Reramos design

Gentar arc, okay dont get me wrong. I love Gentar, he's a funny dude. A loveable idiot that people adore. His design is also cool and I love it so much. This arc is decent as they keep the most comic part. It's also the least problematic one. Again with Monsta using nostalgia as bait. But I do enjoy BuBaDiBaKo song so I let it go. Even it's a decent arc it's useless as it didnt push the plot. It more like filler arc. I get what they try to do by explaining that some power have different reaction like Tanah and Halilintar didnt mix. Okay?? And how do you explain FrostFire then!! Like they telling us that Tanah can cancel Halilintar power?? AND Fire and Ice can cancle each other power!! But they just fine combining their power.

............

Other than the show I understand part of fandom try to defend the religion. Because it's offensive. It's offensive and sensitive to touch subjects of religion. Religion is identity. Boboiboy is a muslim. He presents the muslim as he suppose to be "Anak Lelaki Melayu". And if people that take Boboiboy and what he present, people think it's okay to do that. Especially younger people. "Oh Boboiboy is muslim but it's okay to be gay because he date Fang" no. It's not and never is okay.

You saying people can ship anything as long as it didnt harm people. Because when come to religion it is harming the religion to see character that represent the religion treated like that. It set a false example to people who have so little knowledge. Creating a fitnah for everyone.

And yeah if character is Christian people do care. People who is Christian I mean. Just because you didnt see it doesnt mean it didnt happend. Best example is character from new story call Win or Lose by Pixar , Laurie. She is a Christian girl and she got ship with a girl who is trans. People fight and defend their religion too on her. Boboiboy simply dont have Christian character.

Saying people can ship unless it's problematic. Okay where is the line then? Where people need to draw the line because everything is fiction right? Nothing is real right? People can ship Fang and Kaizo if they want. Or Tok Aba and Gopal? okay. It's disgusting? How? It's fiction.

BUT yes I DONT support the bullying and harrasment. Because that just wrong. So no. Nope. Never. I dont support that

I dont want to fight actually. I just want to see of I can chage your view a little bit and make you understand some of my perceptive. And if I fail to do that- oh well I tried anyway. Have a good day/night. Don't forget to drink water too.

I agree with the show stuff but I'mma respond to the second last paragraph about shipping.

By "problematic" I mean illegal stuff like incest, pedophilia, etc. Obviously I don't condone any of those mentioned. What I'm saying is, it's the people who lack common sense, media literacy, reading comprehension, basically anything that requires little to no effort in understanding that fiction and reality are two completely different things. Yes, some ppl made fiction into reality, but it's on them and their actions for letting that delusion control them, and it's not the fault of fiction itself.

About the religion thing. I know how ppl can get offended by the shipping stuff. That shipping side of the fandom strays far away from the main, "kid friendly" side, because we literally just like the characters and like creating silly stories and fanart. We don't want to interact with the main side of the fandom, that's why we're here.

Despite them "advising" or "lecturing" us about it, they come off as rude and toxic and wouldn't accept the fact that ppl genuinely don't care about religion or spiritual stuff, and that they only like the characters solely for the designs, personalities, storyline, etc.

But yeah those are my thoughts on this. If I'm coming off as rude or something, I'm so sorry. Again, these are only my personal opinions, and I know how other ppl view this whole shenanigans.

I'm entitled to my opinion, and you're entitled to yours. Which is completely fine! I just don't want people to be coming for each other's throats, and that both sides should keep their own headcanon, AUs, and so on from one another.

Also have a good day/night to you as well! I'm writing this at 3am, hungry, tired af 😭

[im-miss-gonna-be-alright-someday]

After watching BoBoiBoy Galaxy episode 14

[secretagentspydetectiveninja]

im two days late but fANG YA GOTTA DO FANG

AHHHH THANK YOU SMOLLYA IM ALWAYS UP FOR GUSHING ABOUT FANG

Favourite thing about them: This sounds completely counterintuitive but I love that he’s so annoying!!! There’s a reason I call him “whiny emo brat” and I mean it as affectionately as possible because he just is. He’s so petty and jealous and it’s the most hilarious and endearing thing. The more salty he’s being, the more I want to remove him from Kaizo’s custody and adopt him as my own little brother because he deserves a better sibling than that. Also, emo solidarity.

Least favourite thing about them: His dumb fashion sense oh god at least the Galaxy longcoat cape thing looks fine, but in BBBM2 he put the belt over the coat??? Bro what are you doing????? And don’t even let me get started on the fashion tragedy that is the mushroom helmet

Favourite line: it’s from the Hindi dub but in the OG show when he said “aur mujhe aisa nahi lagta ke tUM MUJHSE BAYTAR HO!!” (”And I don’t think that yOU’RE BETTER THAN ME!!” It’s good in all dubs but especially iconic in Hindi)

brOTP: all of the main squad!! Listen, Fang’s enemies-to-friends arc with them in the OG show was amazing. He goes from hating them (and especially BBB for the unforgiveable crime of being popular) to sort of tolerating them in a frenemy way, to betraying his own bro just to help them and even choosing to stay with them. It is GLORIOUS and actually makes me cry for real.

OTP: as a chronic shipper of goth-prep couples, obviously Boboiboy. All the yin-yang and ship tease is a pleasantly surprising bonus. (Also lowkey Ying, cause it’s cute. And Marinette. Don’t ask. No actually, please do ask, I’m dying to talk about Fanginette.)

nOTP: Hmmm... well I think of the Shieldblings as being more like siblings to him than Kaizo is, so them I guess?

Random headcanon: He listens to earthling emo music like MCR, FOB, P!atD, etc

Unpopular opinion: I don’t want to say he’s overrated, because I adore him to pieces and talk about him a lot, but like... hey fandom there’s other characters in the show too lmao

Song I associate with them: “POPULAR” BY ERIC SAADE (PERFORMED AT EUROVISION IN 2011 REPRESENTING SWEDEN) IT’S LITERALLY JUST FANG’S LIFE AS A SONG AND IT KILLS ME DEAD EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO IT

Favourite picture of them:

I mean, could I really pick anything else?

[checcellate-truffels]

Speaking to the Stars

Kaizo grunts.

He re-reads the messages, or accurately a reminder from Pang that was set to appear on his screen.

’ This is a short- not a holiday nor a vacation, but just a short escape. For friends and family members- us. ’

He suddenly feels like a large crowd hurling towards him, just by imagining it.

“I hope you do not forget to fulfill your promises, Captain,” Lahap also reminded him.

“You want me to pity the children, Lahap?” Kaizo snapped.

Surprisingly, Lahap chuckled before the Captain shot him a glare.

“Is there anything humourous with what I just said?” He deadpans.

Lahap quickly corrected,

“You deserve the honour, Captain. Once in a while.”

He isn’t wrong, though.

Kaizo had made a promise to let them hold the simplest celebration, since yesterday he was fully booked elsewhere. Luckily it was still somewhere quite near just so he could race off and reach on time for the next big day.

The kids were too smart- If it wasn’t under the Commander’s sponsor, Kaizo wouldn’t hesitate to turn down the honourable expenditure.

It was all honestly to favour their favourable captain. And to thank him for being a reliable ally when they need him.

Lahap understand. Captain is still exhausted after returning from his mission that day. But to his surprise, Kaizo seems more interested on the venue.

“Lahap, we can start now. But before we head back, stop me at coordinate XXXXXXX”

After Lahap drops him off in what appears to be a forest of shrubs, he had to walk to the course- to somewhere near the beach.

“Finally! He’s coming! Set the fireworks!”

Kaizo could hear sounds like a loud whisper coming from the bushes. He frowned.

‘Are they doing one of those stupid surprises again? How wasteful,’ he thought.

Kaizo, still in his combat clothes continued walking.

A few seconds later, he was bombarded with the view of mesmerizing fires lit up to the sky. It exploded into various form of colorful sparks, decorating the jet-black drapes of the night sky.

Kaizo admits, this is pretty amusing.

Fragments of illuminating lights reflected upon his eyes. It felt like it bring back to a second of his childhood.

'Is this fireworks?’ He thought.

He had never seen one in ages. The last one he had seen was the one he saw with his parents. That was when little Pang was sulky enough to drag them all downtown on Lunar New Year’s.

“SURPRISE! A VERY HAPPY, BELATED BIRTHDAY CAPTAIN KAIZO!” They cheered joyfully. They started singing songs, clapping and cheering.

Boboiboy- with his glittering big brown eyes, greeted him enthusiastically.

“Do you like my fireworks, Captain? Oh, you must be hungry! We prepared dinner for you! Come, let’s sit!”

After walking for what almost felt like an hour, and a half day returning from his daily mission, indeed he’s hungry.

“Wait! What about the cake? Fang, bring me the cake,” ordered Yaya.

Kaizo only stares blankly when the cake was brought in front of him. He looked at the kids, to the cake and back to the kids again and asked a single

“What?”

“What?” Boboiboy asked back.

“I said what.”

“What are you waiting for? The birthday person supposed to blow the candles first.” said Gopal.

“Go on! Make a wish!” cheers Ying.

They started singing again, but this time it ends with a loud applause when Kaizo blews the candles.

“What do you wish for?” asked Boboiboy curiosly.

“I don’t know,” Kaizo replies honestly.

“Then why don’t you wish for a better world..as a defender,” Boboiboy suggested with a smile.

Kaizo taps the boy’s nose.

“Silly boy. That’s your wish, not mine,” he shot a brothely smile.

“Huh?” Boboiboy responded shortly, amused to that rare expression that lasts for a few seconds on the Captain’s handsome figure.

“Ok I guess we can all eat now,” suggested Yaya.

She pours a cup of tea, and pours some carrot soup into the bowl for the Captain.

Later, they were served with salads, grilled meat and some bread, much like a barbecue. There were also together roasting fish, squids, clams and lobsters.

Who tells Kaizo that this isn’t too much?

[END OF PART 1]

[up-among-the-stars]

Patchwork

Boboiboy has nightmares, Yaya is a collector. Gopal loves the sea, and Ying can play the piano. Fang is prone to stupid decisions, and Tok Aba deserves the best grandfather of the year award. A collection of drabbles about the little things these characters may or may not hold.

i.

The town calls them heroes.

Sometimes, after they finish a round of rescuing, Yaya wonders how people can put their faith and trust in a twelve-year old.

 ii.

Boboiboy broke his leg, once. He had fallen down a flight of stairs and had to wear a cast for two weeks. He never knew bones could take so long to mend and vowed to never let it happen again.

He hasn't broken one since he got his watch.

 iii.

Hearts, Fang thinks, are fragile things.

They easy to take and easier to break, often times the reason things get complicated. They make girls (and boys) stare. They make people sympathize, even with those who hurt them. They make you miss home even if you're already there, because having a second doesn't mean missing the first one any less.

He wishes he didn't have one.

 iv.

Ying never had a sister, but being friends with Yaya was probably a close thing.

 v.

He doesn't remember her face, but he remembers her fingers.

They were long and delicate, softly running through his hair as his mother cradled him in her arms. When Gopal is tired, he thinks he still feels them, gently lulling him to sleep. Come morning, he finds a name for it, and keeps it called his imagination.

 vi.

When they ask him about the white patch of hair, he shrugs and tells them what he knows. The next time they see it, they don't stare, and for that, Boboiboy is grateful.

 vii.

Lightning flashes, and Ying fights to keep herself from flinching. Seconds later, thunder booms, and Ying tells herself that a storm cannot be afraid of other storms.

People shouldn't have to fear themselves.

 viii.

It's half an hour before dinner and he's still not done.

Gopal frowns at his hands, weighing the pros and cons of dealing with them after dinner. They're mostly clean, but he can still see a few ink stains that linger. Battle scars, he jokes to himself, From fighting the mighty Arithmetic.

In the end, he opens the tap and starts again.

 ix.

There's always milk in the fridge.

Tok Aba keeps it that way because he knows about the nightmares, even if his grandson won't talk about them. He doesn't like to push, so he helps in the way he can. When he wakes to milk that’s a glass lighter, he wakes to gratitude shining in warm, brown eyes, and he smiles.

He pats Boboiboy's head, asking him if he would like to help with the shop because this is them and they do not need words.

This is them, and it is enough.

 x.

On more than one occasion, his friends hear him humming a particular tune. They don't ask, so Fang doesn't tell, quietly recalling the notes of his mother's lullaby.

 xi.

Yaya collects feathers.

Most of them are a brown, grayish green, usually picked up from under a tree or a grassy field. There are a few white and black ones, some mixed with colors, but her favorite is a deep red that bleeds into orange. It reminds her of the phoenix.

A bird of fire in a tale of rebirth.

Beautiful and timeless.

 xii.

When he's too tired to go home, Fang sleeps in the abandoned house. A terrible idea, recalling all the colds he already got, but there's this spot in the master's bedroom where the roof is torn off, and it has a better view of the moon than his apartment does.

After three months and seven colds, Fang finally drags a proper mattress and a ton of blankets into his training grounds.

 xiii.

Contrary to popular belief, Tok Aba's shop is Gopal's third home, not the second. His second is in the sea, where he floats until his front is warm and his back is cold, until his father yells warnings about 'sunburn' and 'getting a cold in the middle of summer, get back here, Gopal!'

 xiv.

His favorite color is blue.

Kaizo wonders if it's some sort of punishment that it is, because in his line of work, blue is hardly something you wear on a mission. Unless you can afford to clean, black outfits are the standard among officers.

He looks down at himself and tries not to sigh, completely ignoring Lahap's look. He makes his way to the nearest changing room and peels his clothes off, tossing the now-violet coat in a basket. He grabs a towel and starts to clean himself.

Red never did look good on him.

 xv.

She used to play the piano.

Being a genius applied in a lot of things, and her grandmother used to tease her about how she'd become a famous musician one day. Ying runs her hand over the ivory keys, ignoring the dust as she takes a seat and checks the sound.

For the first time in three years, she plays.

 xvi.

Yaya opens the door, only to find three people already behind it. Fang's wearing an exasperated look, Ying is drowning in blankets, and Gopal is trying (and failing) to hide his laugh under a mountain of pillows.

She smiles and locks the door behind her, taking the lead to their destination.

 xvii.

Summer, Ochobot thinks, must be the best season.

It's the season Boboiboy came, and also the season when he'll come back.

 xviii.

There's someone tapping on his window, so Boboiboy groggily gets up from bed, opens it, and turns back to bed as he sighs, "Why can't you guys use the door?"
