how i feel about all the changes in s3
#listen i understand complaints and feeling disappointed but y’all gotta remember there’s always the og campaign#there were questionable choices definetly but being negative about it on the internet just does disservice to all the good stuff#it ain’t perfect i miss the group kill but i’m honestly blaming steaming’s whole ‘every season must be the same length’ model#like this season really could’ve used an extra 3 episodes but alas! they made it as solid as possible for tv in that time!#tlovm#critical role#the legend of vox machina#tlovm season 3#also kiki resurrecting percy near and dear to my heart but also the vax percy bond and getting to see more of percy’s torment mmmm#also the cr cast are clearly having fun with it so its not like some foreign entity is committing sacrilege when they change stuff!

No because, Art is a mediocre tennis player with 6 grand slams who knows that at some level he has only got them because Tashi has pushed him and coached him to that level of excellence. At the same time he feels responsible for living a career for both of them while knowing that if Patrick hadn't fucked things up he wouldn't have ever achieved what he did.Patrick has oodles of talent but has to deal with the fact that despite winning Tashi fairly he lost her due to his pride. You know he's thinking that 'if she was my coach I would have double the number of grand slams that Art does'. But if Tashi hadn't had that injury that day would either of them even have had the chance to have her as their coach? No. Both he and Art would have faded into mediocrity but probably remained friends despite it all. And don't get me started on Tashi. She knows that if it wasn't for her injury she would have probably won 15 grand slams by now and would never have considered stopping but she's reduced to just being the wife! Just being the coach! Just being content with being a hot girl who will be won by the guy who plays the best tennis!! And she has to somehow make herself feel okay with that. So no. She can't genuinely be okay with Art stopping but at the end of the day it's not her decision to make because he's the professional tennis player not her. It's not just about one of them winning or the sacrifice it takes. It's about disappointment, bitterness, the underlying inferiority complex, being manipulative enough to achieve your goals through different means and the inherent homoeroticism of having a best friend from the age of 12 who is the only one worth beating for you after playing 13 years of tennis. Anyway I'm chewing on glass rn. Challengers you'll always be famous
#challengers#challengers spoilers#tashi duncan#art donaldson#patrick zweig#no you don't understand#it's very very dear to me#it's about the disappointments and loss!#it's about the discomfort of the choices you've made#it's about the underlying bitterness and jealousy#the love that was there but didn't change anything because the only thing that matters is winning

i really don’t think it’s “typical dragon age fandom nonsense” for people to be genuinely upset about the world state choices. combat, level design, art direction, gameplay gimmicks, those have all varied across each dragon age game. the one thing that’s remained constant are nods to our previous choices.
i wasn’t expecting my HoF to come riding in on a griffon, but i can’t find a monument dedicated to warden tabris somewhere around the anderfels? lucanis couldn’t have some lines about the time that one arainai boy was stirring up trouble in antiva city? you’re gonna tell me that making a mage the new divine wouldn’t have some impact on nevarra and antiva? on the anderfels, the supposed most devout militant andrastian nation in thedas? you’re saying nobody in the north is paying attention to who rules orlais or ferelden? come on.
#dragon age#yes i’ve seen john epler’s explanation on only wanting to carry forward choices that they could ‘really do something with.’#and i understand what he’s saying and i’m curious to see how those 3 choices they brought forward will impact the story!!#but i’m still disappointed. and i think telling people why they shouldn’t be disappointed is just gonna make them More disappointed.#also don’t really appreciate dev comments like ‘careful what you wish for with cameos. it just gives us an excuse to find new and horrific#ways to kill your faves teehee 🤭🤭’ like okay???????? what???#alistair came back twice & could be fine both times. loghain’s inquisition cameo was so meaningful because who the hell expected to see him#again? leliana can straight up die in origins and yall brought her back anyways. like what are we doing out here.#also when i think of ‘typical’ nonsense for this fandom it’s people doxxing each other over fictional character opinions. or what#fictional side your fictional inquistor took in the fictional mage-templar war. or just plain old racism.#NOT ‘damn it’s fucking upsetting that this excited replay i’ve been doing of the previous games and all the recommending i’ve been doing#for new fans to play the other games before veilguard has turned out to be pretty fucking pointless.’#might as well tell someone to watch a let’s play of trespasser and that’s it.#11/26 in a hater mood so i’m turning rbs back on lol. go forth & be petty

the eddie kissing buck first propaganda needs to be stopped at all cost ✋I know i know, i'm probably going to be taken out back and shot several times BUT hear me out:
buck needs to get off that squeaky spinning wheel and for that he needs to be the one initiating Something -either love confession or kiss or both i'm not picky- because as my good friend Bobby (#rip) said he's always been the one going with the flow and not knowing how he even got into a relationship in the first place so him breaking that pattern is essential to his own personal growth. he hasn't initiated a first kiss on screen a single time. he's always been either caught by surprise (taylor and tommy), or been asked out on a date without necessarily expecting it (ali and natalia), and even his first date with abby mostly happened because of external pressure (hen and athena cornering them), and she ended up being the one to kiss him first later on.
and for eddie it's the opposite, he's always been the one initating pretty much everything with his love interests: calling shannon in the first place and then kissing her first, asking ana and marisol out on a date. He's always had to make that choice for himself, and buck pretty much jumped any time someone showed interest in him and only started considering his own feelings when things started to get rocky in his relationships. So them actually switching that because buck is that sure of his feelings for the first time, oh that would be so juicy, so good, so delicious.
anyway this is not me starting discourse ❌ because i hate that but just me officially campaigning (at the very last minute) for buck initiating the love confession and/or their first kiss. thank you for your consideration 🙏
#i feel like this idea probably started during s3-4 which made sense at the time and then got adopted by the fandom at large#which you know understandable#but then we got new information and new patterns and buddie kinda needs to break those patterns#because that's what their story has always more or less been leading toward#to be fair i think eddie kissing him first would work ONLY if buck gets his feelings realisation beforehand on his own#otherwise it would be a bit disappointing for them to basically give him the very same start as previous LI but what do i know#also i believe eddie's cute mouth needs to be kissed gently and softly is that so wrong? 😔#granted at this point i'll take whatever we get without any complaint when you see me cheer eddie kissing him first just look the other way#buddie#911#txt.

Is it just me, but I feel like the fandom sort of romanticizes Dazai and Oda's relationship.
And I don't mean make it appear romantic, I mean that, while I absolutely adore their relationship as well, it often feels like they turn it into something it's not, where Oda is sorta just the dead friend, and Dazai's always trying to do good "for Odasaku," and that Odasaku would tell Dazai off for being mean, for not doing a good job, and even that he would mildly judge Dazai for certain things, like his treatment of Akutagawa, and ask for him to be better.
But it's just...not?
Like, Odasaku is probably the least judgemental person on this planet, he thinks Dazai's knows what he's doing, as stated in that conversation they had about Akutagawa, and he wouldn't judge him or tell him he's doing a bad job. He would just do it differently himself. Dazai didn't join the good side "for" Odasaku, one of the biggest misconceptions in the fandom. He left the Mafia for himself, taking the advice that Oda gave him, so that he could lesson his suffering just a little, and live just a little more beautifully. It's stated that this is selfish with Odasaku's last words "man lives to save himself." Dazai wants a better life for himself, and obviously he's grateful to Odasaku for that and cherishes him and misses him and all that stuff, but he isn't doing it for him, he's doing it because of him.
tl;dr: Odasaku wouldn't judge Dazai for anything, he doesn't want him to be a good person for morality's sake, but for his own sake, and Dazai left the mafia for that purpose as well. It was selfish. And that's ok.
#I've just seen too many fics that try to be like#“Am I doing good Odasaku?”#and I understand where it comes from#but Odasaku isn't some preachy guy who would be disappointed in Dazai for being bad#he just thinks Dazai would happier if he wasn't#that's it#sorry it just feels like a lot of people misunderstand the scene#bungou stray dogs#bungo stray dogs#bsd#bsd Dazai#bsd odasaku#odazai

tbh i think that scene is less about atsushi “learning the truth abt dazai” and much more about him finally being able to acknowledge how much of himself he sees in akutagawa without the mental block of his warped perception of dazai. and even then i don’t see this seriously impacting atsushi’s relationship with dazai like this is about his relationship with aku
#like it’s obv gonna give him a much more complex understanding of his mentor but I don’t think that’s gonna cause tension yk?#it’ll actually be a good thing. at most atsushi’s gonna be like hilariously disappointed in dazai but he’ll still love him#this was more abt his perception of aku and dazai is just very entwined in that like it’s different#sskk#bsd 122#bsd

In the serials I watch, when somebody comes and saves the day people cheer and clap hands and hug. But these clients didn't seem to be relieved, or grateful.
Something something Murderbot's trauma response/confusion over emotions means it struggles to find satisfaction in any outcome. You already DID save the day against the hostile fauna and the whole group DID cheer for you and they CLAPPED for you (twice!) and Ratthi wanted to HUG you and they verbally expressed their RELIEF at their safety and their GRATITUDE for you saving them... and you hated that response too :(
#Murderbot#Murderbot spoilers#obviously there's a big difference between saving someone via shooting a predatory animal#and saving someone via shooting a human being#but that's kinda the point#a point Murderbot doesn't understand yet#but idk it's just in this cycle of endless criticism/disappointment with itself#every outcome is a bad outcome to it#even if it says otherwise to the humans#I will fix the hopper! ... but I am a useless idiot#Everything turned out fine! ... but no one is praising me#They're praising me! ... wow I fucking hate that#Murderbot is sooooooo confused at all times and I want to give it a hug#but it would also hate that. so very much lol

Anyways, I know its my account and I can do what I want, but I do apologize if this is is upsetting to anyone and I do swear this is the last of me discussing this deranged fandom (at least over here).
I really wasn't planning on saying anything about that whole discourse, but as a survivor myself who has dealt with fans invalidating my own trauma because i said Hazbin having a rape joke was both in poor taste and hurts the themes of the show, I really couldn't help but feel genuine anger.
It's just not acceptable. Behaving like this is not acceptable. But it's also not worth my energy.
#txt#its just. i dont know im used to this fandom being awful and shitty but this is just so disappointing#all this screaming and preaching about how you guys REALLY understand survivors#and then the minute a survivor challenges your perception of a character you shut down and insist their trauma never happened#i just.. i mean holy fuck. why

so it was possible...
#m#ls#i don't think any other kind of ending would have felt this satisfying for s6. it was kind of utterly beautiful & life affirming.#i was expecting to be frustrated or disappointed but i'm not! i'm not.#no vitalasy though so -1 star#just so different from the grim relief of being done with it all in s4 and the rutheless victory in s5 i think the fact that it feels like#zam has been rewarded after all of that is going to make me cry. going into the season trying to be better and struggling with herself so#much and it wasn't perfect but she isn't alone in the end. and she made it. and she understands herself better than she did before.#and she logged off alive in her spawn house.

#I think this is a teenager/kid so I'll be understanding but WHAT lol. Growth in real time. My neck is still aching from the whiplash#Ew(sorry) is my new motto. If readers don't react with confusing discomfort and shameful disgust I must be doing something wrong#ao3#fanfiction#“violent sex fantasies” I'm also sorry to disappoint but thus far it's been quite mild

whenever lucanis' reaction to The Horrors TM going down is just to sound incongruously, wonderfully, hilariously mildly peeved. you understand
#joy is stored in lucanis dellamorte's soft little voice. especially when he's sounding mildly annoyed at the cosmic horror of it all#which is very often#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#lucanis dellamorte#'peeved' is exactly the word for it. he's not angry. he's not disappointed. he's not even unpleasantly surprised. he's just. peevish#voice acting performance of all time. to me. he's so. specific. and so unspeakably funny#'they MOVED the MOON' you have to understand there's nothing in the world I wouldn't do for you lucanis

In today’s media landscape where everything is always about big shocking reveals with little to no narrative set up or follow through, going with the most obvious route and actually making Langdon have an addiction problem was the most subversive choice they could make imo. And to me the fact that there is so much outrage is evidence of that. It was the obvious answer all along and was right in front of us the entire time, and yet most of us still didn’t see it coming. Because Langdon is a kind, charming guy and he’s likable and put together and highly competent and we didn’t want it to be him. From the get-go this show has been asking the characters and the audience to examine their internal biases, and now we are all being forced to whether we like it or not. And as disappointing as it all is character wise, in hindsight I think any other resolution to this storyline would have felt like a cop out.
#i dont think this is the last of langdon well see btw#i also just dont agree that addiction is ‘overdone’#its an incredibly common issue especially in people who work in very high stress environments with very little support in how to deal with#it all#and i have faith in this show actually unpacking that in a way that doesn’t vilify him#that being said i completely understand the disappointment. especially when you hyperfixate on a show and then things dont turn out the way#you hoped#but personally speaking im still excited to see how this all unfolds#the pitt hbo#the pitt 2025#the pitt#frank langdon#the pitt spoilers

DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN | 1.01
I refuse to believe that a tragedy had to destroy everything. But it did.
#Daredevil Born Again#Daredeviledit#Karedevil#Karen Page#Matt Murdock#Foggy Nelson#Deborah Ann Woll#Charlie Cox#Elden Henson#Not Revolution#GIF set#Mine#ddba spoilers#Daredevil Spoilers#I'd forgotten how to GIF. It's been that f**king long. But there's some muscle memory there. Some instinct brought on by#dozens of hours spent tweaking colours and snipping video and converting it to frames and going temporarily insane in the tags#It's coming back to me - I think.#I think I need to gif with this show. It helps me process.#Because I don't want to be disappointed. I waited so long for more. And it's not exactly what I thought I'd get. They definitely changed th#e recipe. But maybe I can get used to it and value it for just bringing me Karen and Frank back.#I don't even know how to understand Karen and Matt flirting in the bar - after everything they've gone through - but okay.#It's more unexpected than unwanted. I'm curious if there's something there that the writers feel there's time to explore?#(But for real. We don't have time for that. There are 9 episodes.)#NGL I do like that Matt and Karen are so hands on and close here and how sharply it contrasts with how far apart they are at the courthouse#And goddamn Foggy's last words to Matt were kind of devastating.#I like this quote because origin stories start pretty much with one bad thing happening that sets someone on a very different course.#And at first it looks like destruction. But it just leaves room for something new.
