It is very mildly irritating to me when people use this picture for Diavolo. You guys... this isn't Diavolo. This is Bruno in Diavolo's body. You can tell because the eyes are different.

literally the easiest way to improve your relationship with the world around you is not to come to an interaction under the assumption that your interlocutor doesn't know what you're talking about

examining a seemingly normal image only to slowly realize the clear signs of AI generated art.... i know what you are... you cannot hide your true nature from me... go back where you came from... out of my sight with haste, wretched and vile husk

Can we as a fandom collectively move on from writing Scrooge’s accent out in dialogue? Like the “ye” thing? Please. Please. Please. Please Please Please PLEASE—

Sigh I swear the bar is so low with writing sometimes.

I’ve just been remembering how much it bothers me when there’s no lasting consequences or acknowledgement for things. When everything resets like nothing ever happened at the start of the next episode, or even the next scene sometimes. How cool and rare it was that Wally’s arm was in a cast for a whole 5 episodes of Young Justice. How relieved/excited I was when Mulder actually still had bandages on his fingers the episode after he broke them because FINALLY something carried over! Or when Hook was leaning on someone for support in the background after the fight scene in Pan. How impressed I was to see Katniss still crying hysterically for Rue a few scenes after her death. How surprised I was to actually see a hint of the effect of Echo’s extremely traumatic experience when he panicked in the medbay. How my heart soared when he insisted on rescuing Gregor because omg he’s acting in a way that makes sense for his character! Clinging to every small scrap we get to see of clones showing real emotion when so often they seemingly never bat an eye at their losses and never mention their fallen brothers again.

I love these shows I swear, but it just gets so frustrating! Like I’ll literally be so nervous no one will be affected realistically, or react like a human, or behave in-character and then I get so excited on the rare occasions they do. And then I realize wow the bar is so low, shouldn't that just be, you know, writing 101?

Like I remember some episode of some show (the Seeker? Or something idk) where a character was captured and tortured and not ten minutes after being rescued his friend was like “hmm you sure are quiet today” like YEAH I SURE HOPE HE IS?!

omg Katie do not apologize for the tags I eat them up!!! I also get emotional about how well?? everyone gets along with each other on the team 🥹 That's your villain? He's out here trending on TikTok

There's just something soooooo incredibly nice about how he has a team that suits him, loves him, will do anything for him, gets along with him, gives him a decent car etc etc. I think even if Aston has slump periods, that's fine with me because I think ignoring those, everything he's gotten this year makes up for all those years of suffering with teams that didn't respect him and treat him well enough. Also its so irritating how so many people, especially on reddit, are SO sure he's going to turn his back on Aston. Don't you know they love him and he loves them???? And also people who think he's just putting up with the tiktoks and stuff, noooooooo he loves being silly and funny 🥺🥺

now thinking about it. wha happened to ender-ish zed.

[leitmotif]

saw barbie n honestly it was just like. ok. like a 6/10. there were some funny jokes and stuff but it feels like they were trying to send so many different messages at once that they never fully delivered any of them despite trying to spoon feed them to the audience and also the plot and pacing were just like. all over the place. which is to be expected bc yknow its a brand movie but still </3

Don't cancel me Fluffy, but I like to separate LMK from the OG text. NOT because I hate themes and motifs and classical novels, nah. But rather for the regular amount of separation fans need in acknowledging when the show puts its own spin on things. And also because a subsection of fandom is very persistent that everything that happened in JTTW is canon in the exact same way to LMK and like to bash on characters for that. A lot different from writers pulling inspo is assuming LMK is a 1:1 adaptation when even the writers said it wasn't what they wanted.

yeah see that’s different (also i don’t have nor want the power to cancel you)

my personal beef is when people butcher the themes and character dynamics from jttw. (Tripitaka for example 🤨 like wtf is UP with that???? also, HISTORICAL CONTEXT PPL 👏👏👏👏👏I WILL TAP THE SIGN HOWEVER TIMES I NEED TO!!!! this story is old, old so reading with footnotes that provide context on what the original meant to convey is ok. if you need it for Shakespeare plays, then you’ll need it for the older shit too) lmk very clearly isn’t being an honest adaptation and this story is old as balls so i don’t expect it to. if it holds the heart of the story then it’s an A in my book.

Red Son’s origin isn’t even the same from jttw, and PVD is shown to be more of a threat than she was in the book. so, lmk is taking plenty of creative liberties where they feel they need to.

my thing is mostly with the Western audience who aren’t as familiar with not just the og text, but how much this story has an impact on a lot of cultural stories in Asian countries.

in a way it’s like Arthuriana to me (except jttw is older than Arthuriana lol) because there’s not a lot of “canon” beside Arthur is king, dies in the battle of Camlann, Merlin is a powerful wizard, Morgana is an important antagonist, and Mordred makes the killing blow. but despite that, many Western audiences are vaguely familiar with the legends enough to have their own interpretations. some people like theirs to be closer to the course materials and some like to keeps theirs a little loose

there is a ton of jttw adaptations (you can go ahead and watch this video by The Dom where he lists a plethora of adaptations from the most “honest” to the least) and i am sure many Asian cultures and communities have their own personal interpretations and omissions from the legend

so yeah. long story short: when it comes to lmk, i agree that ppl should if he holding the jttw as gospel since it is used as a source of inspiration (sure the main source but you get what i mean). however, that shouldn’t discount it from your analysis and interpretations when looking at the themes and character dynamics

i read every tag you leave on my bats <- not a threat

I live for Harry describing several of the Blacks as good-looking, when very few of the older generation get this; really feels like the Blacks are just inhumanly gorgeous, putting everyone else to shame. Sirius and Bellatrix escape Azkaban, having been imprisoned for over a decade, and Harry’s like, “I can tell they used to be super attractive, and with a shower and a haircut, some food, they’d be hot now too.” Nobody’s doing it like the Blacks, locked in Azkaban for years and still retaining some of their good looks. Plus, Regulus and Narcissa may not be as attractive as Sirius and Bellatrix, but they’re still attractive as well, so yes, the family is the hottest people around, they just have a hierarchy of gorgeousness (it goes Sirius = Bellatrix, Andromeda, and Narcissa = Regulus)

no but this is so true!!! there was absolutely no reason for their looks (ahem, sirius’ looks) to be mentioned as often as it was and yah, part of it is just that harry, my baby, was a bi disaster but also just—if it was talked about so much, it’s a fair assumption that the blacks just had really fucking good genetics ykno?

and like. there’s this whole psychosocial thing about aesthetics and how that affects people’s perceptions and stuff, particularly in relation to class and status right? i like to think that the blacks’ otherworldly good looks helped them keep themselves on top of the hierarchy regardless of all the fuckery going on inside their house.

I wish tumblr would let people comment from sideblogs. Or, at least, put the 'op' sign when I am commenting on my posts on my sideblog even with the comment coming from my main. Seriously
