I'm the only uncomfortable with the blind Ub Iwerks praise? Yes done good work but people completely forgot that his flip the frog cartoon also had racist characters , but alas that goes against Ub being the better Mickey creator.

[we-can-read-comics]

So I just finished my re read of HoX PoX, and goddamn it still holds up in so many ways. I'll probably be talking about some stuff with it at some point.

But a part I wanted to mention was this part, particularly when Magneto brings up that mutants have never stolen land, he is saying this to ambassadors while they are on their way to a Krakoan gate in Israel. Almost like they are proving a point of how Israel was founded by stealing land and Krakoa is not a stolen land. Which honestly is insane Hickman managed to get that past the diseny overlords.

It is wild and looking back on it 5 years ago I never read it as that, but now I GET it.

Miraculous ladybug and progressivism (WOKE)

Very good, today I come with something from Miraculous again and with all these latest Wish posts (where I talk about the Asha controversy and others, take a look if you want hahaha, it's just that I feel very comfortable hahaha) it has led me to think a little about a similar lake but in the miraculous universe

And in the same way that Miraculous Ladybug has been criticized for the lack of plot and lack of development, etc., (which I explain because in my posts) it has also been criticized for passing what we call progressivism, (couple lgbt, feminism etc.)

Well, here I come out in defense, I think that this IS NOT LIKE THAT,

IN FACT, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THAT ONE OF THE MAJOR DISTRIBUTORS OF THIS SERIES IS DISNEY AND THAT IT IS BROUGHT ON THEIR CHANNEL, DISENY CHANNEL (who currently has a lot of problems with the WOKE issue), THE PROGRESSISM IN THIS CHANNEL is quite acceptable.

Disney plans to get out of the economic crisis, bring back the original Avengers, look how desperate they are because of wokism and forced inclusion, it has led them to ruin.

And if you look closely at the series, it goes further. I have already explained a little how it works, that they always tell us one story through another, well, to give clues that includes this type of inclusions . Since most people only watch a normal series, they see it as forced inclusion, but it really is not, in fact Thomas has been very intelligent by putting them in this system, because if that were not there, if it did not tell a little story within of other. IT WOULD REALLY BE FORCED INCLUSION AND WOULD REACH THE LEVEL OF DISNEY ITSELF, BUT NOT ONLY THAT, we would not have a series directly, since this is the reality of the animation industry.

When you make a film, a series, a show and you want it to be broadcast, you have to contact the person who produces it and who is going to distribute and broadcast it, they always tell you that the series or the film meets a certain requirements, so in this case they have probably asked Thomas to target these types of couples, LGBT, women to be empowered, etc... you understand me, sometimes one has to make those sacrifices, it is not as they say that "there is freedom and creativity and etc.."

then surely Thomas thought the following:

"Well, since they ask me for this format and to add a little progressivism, I take advantage of how the story is designed and that's how I add it, then I can show my show and they calmly broadcast it and they are happy and so am I because both "We get what we want and so the series gains popularity, and I make money."

I'm going to give you 2 examples so you understand a little what I'm talking about.

1 THE PROTAGONISM OF LADYBUG

CRITICIZED TO THE EXTENT "LADYBUG IS THE PROTAINE AND PEOPLE ARE ANNOYED BECAUSE SHE SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS A BRAIN WHEN CHATNOIR IS TREATED LIKE A FOOL AND BUFFON AND ONLY THINKS ABOUT LOVE AND KISSING LADYBUG," CHATNOIR IS BADLY WRITTEN ETC... LADYBUG ALWAYS IT HAS TO BE THE PROTAGONIST"

HAHAHA this sounds familiar to you, doesn't it? Then you think:

"arghh how heavy with toxic feminism and women over men"

One gets tired, especially after watching so many Disney movies where they force you to do this as much as possible, hahaha, but it's not, this feminism is very well embedded. How is that?

If you have looked around my analysis posts you will know that we are discovering that the theory of Marinette's diary is true.

"MARINETTE'S DIARY THEORY, is a very popular theory that tells us that since she is going to lose her memory, and is currently writing a diary, the series itself is the memoir of Marinette's diary that Adrien would be reading to her. the adult Marinette so that she would remember, that is why the series is titled The Adventures of Ladybug, like a story or a story."

So it makes sense THAT SHE BE THE PROTAGONIST, THAT EVERYTHING REVOLVES AROUND HER, then it is not toxic feminism or that the woman considers the man stupid, so Thomas takes advantage of this, that is, part of the script to insert what the others ask of him.

THOMAS: "ah! Do you want an empowered woman and for her to be the protagonist? Well, taking advantage of the fact that these ARE MARINETTE'S OWN MEMORIES RELATED OR TOLD BY ADRIEN, WE LEAVE AND LEAVE ADRIEN OR FELIX OUT OF PLACE, AND THIS IS JUSTIFIED THEN SHE HAS LOST HER MEMORY, AND HE IS READING TO HER SO THAT SHE REMEMBER, THEN WE HAVE A GOOD STORY WHERE THE WOMAN IS THE PROTAINE, I TELL THE STORY HOW I WANT AND THEY HAVE WHAT THEY WANT, WHICH IS FOR THE GIRL TO HAVE POWER, TWO BIRDS OF ONE SHOT"

Do you understand now? Of course it is justified, because it is not like that because yes, she has lost her memory and has everything written down to remember again, so if we are reading her story she has to be the center, AND OF COURSE AS THE READER IS ADRIEN HAS TO BE IN 2ND PLACE and thus the woman is the protagonist in a healthy way, without intentions of doing the politically correct thing.

2 THE KISS OF BUSTIER AND GISELE.

also very loved and criticized at the same time, through this couple they tell us about the love and respect that Félix and Marinette will have when they are together, notice that they are different in terms of color, different race? FEELING AND HUMAN, look at how they are dressed, the big difference there is, the elegance that Bustier has, it is very reminiscent of Félix, while Gisele's is more rock, like Marinette, and you remember that she has a motorcycle, right? and who else has a motorcycle, aha marinette...then Thomas takes advantage of this to give the clues to Felinette, and so we have an afro girl, a white girl and a couple of women, pure progressivism, but not forced.

and so everything is the same...

Now, I want, do I want you to realize something? We don't have that many of these types of couples and so on, I mean we do have but it's not one bomb after another, it's from time to time because those who distribute it ask for it, so in quantity I think it's pretty good, for which Disney doesn't he's used to it hahaha

now

WHAT IS FORCED INCLUSION REALLY? FORCED INCLUSION IS WHAT DISNEY IS DOING, MEANING BECAUSE YES, WITH THE INTENTION OF BEING POLITICALLY CORRECT, BUT ALSO IN A BRAZEN WAY, BECAUSE MANY TIMES IT IS NOT JUSTIFIED AND SINCE IT IS NOT JUSTIFIED, THERE IS WHERE THEY GIVE THEM OUT AND YOU SEE THAT IT IS THEY DO FOR THIS IDEOLOGY AND TO LOOK GOOD, WHAT IS LEADING THEM TO RUIN and on top of that they blame you, who are asking for quality content hahaha, when as a consumer it is your right.

I hope this post has helped you and clarified some things, thanks for reading and following me, a hug and see you.

I'll say that even if Isaac from the games was a 1-dimensionally evil bastard with no depth like so many N!fans deride him as, I'd rather have that than a character that tries to be deep and nuanced but is horribly written. Like, I prefer a character like Diseny's Jafar or Ursula to a character like Netflix Isaac.

Yeah, honestly I don't know how you can say that Isaac would have been boring to watch?

Isaac?? Boring??? You mean this absolute Liam O'Brien-voiced legend????

I wish we got a full anime with him!! They don't have the budget to animate his beautiful body language, that's all >:\

(man, now I'm imagining Rosaly's death in animated form... Isaac manhandling Hector, pulling his hair and forcing him on his knees and prying his eyes open... good god, it would have been scarier than all the gore in NFCV combined)

Oh, but that's not what they mean :) Isaac isn't boring. He's a stupid character. Because he doesn't take himself completely seriously. Because he's flamboyant, which makes him cringe. Because he's "bad representation" (to which I say, lol and lmao). Because he wouldn't make the pacing screech to a halt to talk veeeeeeeryyyyyyyyy sllllloooowllllllyyyyy about faux-philosophical stuff that sounds so OMG Deep™ until you scratch the veneer of pretentious word choice.

People have said that Godbrand is pretty much game Isaac in NFCV form. And it fits, doesn't it? A buffoon that is treated as comic relief, whose characterization is mainly "violent guy who kills, fucks and makes boats", and the two times he activates his braincell, he first gets talked down into submission by Dracula (who, as a reminder, did not do the same with the much more outrageous Carmilla) and then he gets outright killed like a jobber by N!Isaac, showing the latter as the strong badass he'll keep being. After 4 episodes of screentime.

And that says a lot about NFCV and its tone.

The diseny era pink rangers meeting a certain blue ranger from the Hasbro Era

Syd: Who’s the last women you’ve ever spoken to? Beside your mom. You’re like Sky but worse. At least he made fun of all of us and we do the same to him. You just target your pink ranger and she just takes it. If I was her, I wouldn’t want to be near you.

Vida: You said that to her..? What’s wrong with you? That’s your teammate and friend, if she even considers you a friend. Our red ranger did that to our blue ranger and I made him take his word back. Who cares if she’s into ghosts and creepy stuff. She’s more than just that, how about you leave her alone or I’ll rearrange your ribs if I hear you smack talk her again

Rose: *Was I this bad when I was a ranger* Look, I was like you. I was condescending to my team and acted like I knew everything because I was a child prodigy. But I didn’t just pick on them like the way you do to your pink ranger and I stopped it when I got to know my team and Ghost do exist. You fight space monsters, how is that any difference from ghost. I’m a professor, I’ve seen students like you, and they don’t make friends or really have anyone like them. I suggest for you to knock it off or else your team might not want to be around, especially your pink ranger

#6 Frozen 2

You're probably all wondering why I chose Frozen 2 over the original movie. Well you'll find out during my review.

I wanna start by saying this movie has a much better plot than the original. It included both characters equally, I believe in the first movie it targeted Anna more than it did Elsa when they both deserved equal attention. This movie was also way more emotional than the other movie it had me crying tears of joy and sadness at the same time which is a quality I find important in a movie. The original movie also made Elsa look like the villain for the most of the movie when she didn't deserve that at all, she was in a position none of us could understand. One aspect I did enjoy more in the first movie was the love between sisters, I have two older sisters and seeing this sister love makes me think of my sisters and how happy I am that we're all very close and share this love for one another. Now that I addressed why the first movie wasn't my favrouite let's talk about why the second one is my favrouite.

First things first Anna and Elsa both looked AMAZING in this movie, the editors did a great job with their appearance. Both sisters look so much older and more mature than the first movie. I loved this small detail since it showed us that they both grew since the first movie and have more knowledge on how to work together. I love that they changed their outfits completely and didn't reuse the original ones, this proves to me they put effort into this movie.

In this movie I have two favorite songs that I can't pick in between the first song is, into the unknown. The vocals in this song are amazing there is no doubt if you disagree you're wrong, simple as that. Idina Menzel who voices Elsa did amazing she hits a whole ton of high notes perfectly, I was genuinely in shock the first time I heard this song the vocals were just amazing. The vocals in this song are WAY better than the vocals in, let it go, she truly outdid herself with this song. Another thing I loved about this song is how much we find out about the past of the kingdom, in most Diseny songs there is a story however in this one it was so clear and easy to follow even without the visualls I understand what is going on and i just enjoy the fact that the stroy was so clear.

The next song I love is Lost in the Woods. This was the first time we truly saw Kristoff's emotions, I never really knew what was going on in his head but after listening to this song it made everything more clear. This song made me see him as more of a main character than a secondary character, it definitely gave him more of a personality. Jonathan Groff killed this song, his voice was so smooth and the words just rolled off his tongue, I remember obsessing over this song for at least 3 months. I downloaded this song while walking out of the movie theater and played it on repeat for the next 2 weeks, there wasn't a day that passed without me listening to it for a very long time. I remember being in grade 10 math class and listening to this song everyday with my friend Sasha.

This scene right here where Olaf dies broke me, I didn't recover for a few days. Olaf is my favorite character he makes me think of my dad with his personality and jokes so watching him die had me bawling my eyes out. I don't think he deserved his death so i'm happy he came back at the end of the movie, if he hadn't this definitely wouldn't be in my top 10. He is such a lovable character so if he didn't end up coming back I would never forgive Disney. During his death I just wanted to walk out of the theater it was unacceptable.

I can't really think of any negatives about this movie, it's just not the first movie I would pick to watch when i'm bored. I love this movie so much I just wouldn't be able to watch it every week like I could my number 1, I feel like I would get tired of the movie if I watched it to much, which is way I won't watch it to often but when I do, god I love it. For those reasons I rate this movie 6 out of 10 of my favorite Disney movies.

#1 movie hint: Christina Aguilera sang one song in this movie and it said it launched her career.

He’s talking abot evil trangedners and diseny and bud light and MILLER and my jaw dropped like AHHGGG THE TRANSGENDER KAZUHIRAAAAAA AHHHHGGGGGGGHHH

[firedragonx]

I feel like people or don’t understand different cultures and values. Also age rating works. USA have gun problem because you can literally get in supermarket while in Japan is a lot harder to find a gun. And Australia didn’t get age rating system until much later and from what people tell me it’s weird.

There also a situation here where we don’t about sex stuff but love violence. Also there also history about don’t say gay stuff in Hollywood back in the day. Which you can’t have a character of LGBTQ in a positive light. And extending to criminals. You can’t have them have any complex thoughts or motivations. So that why during Diseny Renaissance you got queer coded characters. These rules were meant to keep certain people down.

And sometimes go into problems specially people mental disorders because media love to make them villains or do some ablism shit. And every time a disabled person wants to talk they shut down. When really disabled people get killed because people think they are a danger to society or themselves.

Though I see where people like they’re villains but sometimes I feel like people are not talk in right space. Like if someone criticizes your favorite media and how fandom is toxic because of certain actions toward a group of people. You first reaction shouldn’t be but villain hot.

Also people should not going into people’s fanfiction to say you can’t like this character because they’re evil.

I mean if time for that then maybe that actually homophobic, transphobic, or just racist. And yes there fanfiction writers like that and we should focus on calling them out. Not people that think some villain hot or something.

People know that the whole "don't portray [harmful action] because viewers might recreate it" thing is a rule for children's shows right? It's supposed to be shit like "don't show peppa pig playing with fire so we don't get sued if a kid watches it and burns their house down." Not like, fanfiction for adults.

M3: The Man in the Ant Hill

For those doing the rewatch on Diseny+, the minisode "The Man in the Ant Hill" is the first part of the 7th episode of the series which has the same title.

These episodes that are compiled out of the minsodes must be really odd to sit through for someone just trying to watch the series. You'd watch the first two and then be like, "man these episodes have a weird structure like they don't know how to plot a show."

Anyway, "The Man in the Ant Hill" introduces us to Hank Pym (Ant-man) and, more importantly, Janet Van Dyne (the Wasp), who I love on this show so much. It's such a fun portrayal of Jan, lighter and more youthful.

I also think she's a really great heroine for young girls (a lot of the superhero cartoons are geared for boys). She's very "girly" in a Buffy Summers way, small, and cute but still able to beat you up. I really wanted a Halloween costume of this version of the Wasp in my size (sadly, adult). And I'm even sadder they never made it in kid size either.

Look how cute she is:

Her boots make a W!!!

I know some people didn't like the art in this series, but I thought it was unique. It took some getting used to but the actual quality of the animation is much better than Avengers Assemble and some of the more recent shows. I don't think they show as much attention to detail.

Goons working for Ulysses Klaw (which was spelled Klaue in Black Panther) attack Ant-Man, who has been brought into a SHIELD base in Africa because SHIELD has discovered a bit of vibranium.

It's interesting to look back on this, because clearly the show doesn't expect a child to be familiar with the words "Wakanda" and "vibranium." There's a lot of build up to Black Panther showing up. I do like this portrayal of T'Challa once he actually shows up. (Wait for it.)

But it's funny how the show expects Hank Pym to be better known to kids than Black Panther. Oh, the past.

Obviously, in the Avengers movie they opted to go with Hawkeye and Black Widow to round out the cast (and actually include a girl--yuck! Cooties). This show decided to keep the original five Avengers from the comic book. The MCU kept the original villain-Loki. EMHU kept the Avengers but changed the villain.

I guess the love for Tom Hiddleston and Black Panther are two things this show did not anticipate.

Hank's first monologue is to his own tape recorder about the supposed uses of vibranium. And while today's child would think

once someone mentions vibranium, this show has Klaue come in and talk about it some more.

Hank tells him to set up an appointment with Janet. I take umbrage to this line. She's not your secretary, Hank. She's your girlfriend.

And I think that is a huge difference between the EMHU and the MCU. EMHU was determined to make Hank happen and the MCU straight bailed.

By this time, newer fans of Marvel were coming to know Hank as the Avenger that beats his wife.

It's an interesting dichotomy, by avoiding the spousal abuse element (as Feige speaks about in the above linked article) and pivoting to Scott Lang's version of Ant-man (who does show up in the EMHU, but later! Spoilers!) it actually made "the Wasp"--whether the Janet or Hope van Dyne version--less important to the films. I'd argue that Hope is a pretty bland character and Janet is better. But that's my opinion. The MCU opted to create this "new" Wasp in Hope but she doesn't have any backstory to her--literally. Janet had 60 years of stories at this point. (The other Wasp, Nadia Van Dyne wasn't created when this show aired in 2010.)

Klaw has his sonic canon in this but has not yet lost his arm. Avengers: Age of Ultron also starts with him having an arm. Many of the villains already have their comic book powers or weapons when this story starts. Klaw gets more storytime because the show uses him to introduce Black Panther. (Again more on that later!)

Hank shrinks everyone down. Klaw is like "oh my gott we are tiny" (I am not sure what this accent is supposed to be).

Janet only shows up at the very end after all the fighting has happened. She flies in worried about Hank but he's doing science and tells her to make sure the guys he beat up aren't eaten by the ants.

Janet makes a funny "ew" face because she's adorable instead of telling him off for asking her to do his dirty work. This dynamic shall continue for some time. And eventually lead younger me to write a fanfiction where Janet ditches Hank for the Hulk.

Rating: Eh, if you're interested.

I have stuff to say about Encanto. I need to get this out of my head, just this.

Camilo is genderfluid

For a song called "We don't talk about Bruno", they sure talk a lot about him

Why The Madrigal in the finale act like "ohhh, Bruno, we missed you so much" like hey, first thing you should do is apologise, Bruno didn't magically go away, you all mistreated him and then even bother to look for him for years, HE WAS GONE BECAUSE OF YOU, NOT BECAUSE OF SOME TRAGEDY EXTERNAL TO THE FAMILY

If Dolores always knew Bruno was in the walls, why she never said anything, given that we're shown she can't keep secrets?

Luisa is a queen, give her a break

Bruno feels like a theatre kid

No shade to the voice actor, he was very good, but I wanted Bruno to be dubbed by Lin Manuel Miranda

How is Camilo older than Mirabel

Why didn't Bruno cry when his mother hugged him??? I'm sorry, but I feel like the whole reunione scene was way lighter than it should have been

Literally everyone in the song "We don't talk about Bruno" except for Camilo and Dolores is an idiot. PEPA, YOU CAN CONTROL THE WEATHER, YOU DECIDE IF IT RAINS OR NOT. HEY, PRIEST, DIDN'T YOU KNOW WHEN YOU START GETTING OLD YOU LOSE YOUR HAIR? DUDE, YOU DON'T WANT A GUT? DO SPORT OR SOMETHING, WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU BLAME BRUNO FOR THINGS THAT WERE GOING TO HAPPEN ANYWAY OR THAT YOU CAN'T CONTROL (I'm sorry about the fish, though)

Did anyone felt all the characters were rushed? I would have loved to learn more about them.

The entirety of Felix-Pepa family warms my heart.

Dolores should have talked way more and have more screentime. I love her voice. I'm in love with her.

Same with Camilo.

The finale was rushed. Sue me. (I actually disliked a lot of things about Encanto, but there were also some things I like and I will concentrate on them or expose my critics in a positive way because hey, I don't want to shit on things just because, so let's have useful discussions).

I get her reasons, but Abuela doesn't get to go away with everything she has done. Sorry not sorry. I'm just saying, in real life you don't just apologise and everything is fine again.

I wanted to see more of everyone in the family feeling pressured by expectations.

I would watch a tv serie of Encanto, though. I think it could work. No candle storyline, just everyday stuff happening.

Bruno deserved better and I want more of him. Also Bruno is asexal. Because I said so.

Also Dolores is bisexual. Because I said so.

Also I might have accidentally caught a crush on Mirabel's dad. Oh well.

I have two crushes in this movie and one is Polite Dad Man and the other is Dirty Rat Man. Oh, yeah, my two type.

I am obsessed by Dolores's "sh. sh. sh." I need her ASMR asap.

Anyone who knows stuff about genetics explain me how redhead Pepa came out of the triplets having red hair and fair skin. Not a sly ocmment, someone actually help me understand.

I imagine Bruno dancing and singing along "We don't talk about Bruno" in the walls. Then being sad about the lyrics. But shit is catchy. Rats are dancing along too.

The reason why Camilo says Bruno has a 7 feet frame is because he saw him when he was very young and Bruno felt like a giant to him.

[been-taking-muay-thai-classes]

Azul has a whole thing with food (counting calories, not eating some things cause he'll get fat, etc.) Its waaaay more noticeable in jp tho since eng twst has tried to skirt around the issue for the most part (by changing dialogue or outright erasing it). Despite this some fans can still notice the implication of Azul having an ED, which is probably why the censorship happened in the first place, because its a sensitive topic (in japan too but they tend to not see this relationship with food as bad).

Jamil mentions his family has served the Asims for generations, and in jp often uses different words to refer to himself and his family vs the staff when talking about working for Kalim and his family (like he'll call himself a mere servant but the other workers of the Asim estate are staff, which considering how japanese works, is not just a matter of synonims but a comscious choice from his part). All of this and the whole "Kalim's father would throw my whole family out if I stepped out of line" give a very strong implication that the Vipers are indentured servants and that's ehy Jamil can't be truly free yet (and also can't be Kalim's friend because their status makes it too unbalanced).

So I in part agree with the dislike for these changes because it makes the story and characters a little different in a bad way. Most people in na server hates Jamil's parents because they think they are the sole reason he has had to hold back when in reality they probably just told him to hold bsck because Jamil could be punished but since eng doesn't mention Kalim's father, this idea is absent.

Idia has a rather distant-yet-polite way to refer to others, including his juniors, which is an interesting quirk of.his but hasn't been fully translated into eng because english doesn't naturally use Mr. or Miss all that often, especially not as teens.

The whole thing with madols and thaumarks being different currencies given one has a lot more inflation. And many more such things.

There's a lot of little differences in the localization made, and while I'm not too harsh about it because Diseny Japan is less demanding and puritanical than Disney America (so the translators liely have a gonsiderable gag when working) they also have to do the complex job of translating and making japanese words and culture somewhat understandable for a mostly yanki audience. There's a lot of nuances that are simply imposible to translate but there's also some interesting things done to try to maintain the original sense of words, character personalities and general vibe.

I find it fascinating to read both versions and make comparisons but then again I used to translate works too so my professional linguistic interest may be boring to others.

Anyways theres a few really good posts on tumblr and reddit talking about these differences like Mystery Shop, Yuu Rei and Raven at the Writing Desk that you can check if you want to read more about it.

And the changes of removing servant/master within Jamil's story is also for the sake of making it less triggering for the audiences. That's why stuff like Azul's fat/weight woes were removed and the first Fairy Gala can't use the word "exotic" like it was in the original JP. It is censorship. But this is the price people paid if the annoying loud minority group get upset about a story that covers topics like these, even for a Disney game. This will continue on for future works in any anime, manga, video game, etc.

Until you said it I haven't really noticed they removed servant/master thing in terms with Jamil and Kalim (like I remember the word Master was used by people under Jamil's UM and... yes? that's really the only case they had it in?). It is at least strange for me, because c'mone it's not slavery or smth. Kalim respects Vipers, he considers Jamil his best friend. The only thing here is the social status and yes, I agree that the topic is important and it's really sad they removed it.

Also I didn't read Fairy Gala in eng ver, so can't say anything about it (but now I guess I should go take a look at it somewhere). And as for Azul, I clearly remember the word "chubby" was used in one of fantranslations. Eng ver used "round" if I remember correctly. Not a big deal for me but I understand why the topic was avoided. And that is strange for me either, cause it was never meant as some bad thing, it's just Azul not wishing to be like that anymore after he was bullied his entire childhood. And that's was actually a point of his story, like "bulling is a bad thing, don't do that".

Anyway, I agree it's upsetting topics like these are being avoided, covered or completely removed in the name of censorship.

Still having tons of fun imagining FE Echoes characters as Disney fairies. @good-beans kindly suggested that Forsyth would be a clapping talent fairy. Since I am an aficionado of the Diseny Fairies Cinematic Universe and less familiar with the novels, I was not sure how that works. But some googling told me that “clapping talent” means that a fairy can teleport to the human world, which I think works great for Forsyth.

So I’ve been entertaining myself with the idea of Forsyth teleporting to the human world and the only human he meets who can talk to fairies is Berkut, who is not into the idea of talking to cute little winged being.
