#don't tokenize love

[mk-wizard]

Looking back on Netflix She-Ra, I don't think any of the romantic relationships were healthy. To be honest, I preferred everyone as friends and honestly, considering how old each of them was, maybe it would have been better that way. You don't have to pair anyone.

I mean, shipping ruined the Pokemon anime for me. I don’t even like Brock with anyone romantically. He’s just a teenager. A boy. If anything, the fact that he is so girl crazy is proof that he’s not ready for a serious relationship. He lusts for every and any woman but doesn’t actually love any of them. If anything, Brock is possibly the most accurate portrayal of the teenage boy “falling in love”: he isn’t. He’s just lusting. And that’s ok. Lots of teens go through that phase, but they grow out of it. I had a friend like Brock who just like him when he was a teen and you know what he’s like now that his hormones aren’t all over the place and has developed substantial standards in a life partner? It turned out that he was gay. And even then, he doesn’t now jump on every male he sees. He’s been in two serious relationships and last I heard, the second one was “the one”.

So yeah... these characters are kids. Who they crush on now is not the person they’re going to marry tomorrow. They’re kids. Very, very rarely do you meet the love of your life that young and even if you do, it is even more rare for you to be aware that they are.

And I wish the media would treat kids like kids. It’s why I don’t like Cardcaptor Sakura. Sure, it’s cute to see a kid crush on someone, but treating it like a serious thing isn’t cute. It’s nauseating and it sends a dangerous message.

Stop doing this. Stop shoehorning romance into medias that don’t need them. I would even argue that adult shows don’t need romance to be good. Everyone can be just friends and be happy like that.

If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.

PS: I’m a romantic saying this.

Okay, so Euclid, right?? It's 5 minutes and 13 seconds long, but Vessel only starts singing at the 13 second mark. First lyric? "Just run it back, give me five whole minutes".

We, as the listener, give him five whole minutes to say what he's gotta say. Further, the song ends on the exact same piano chord that it begins with; the song, in of itself, is a loop. Anytime you play Euclid on loop, you are running it back and giving him five whole minutes.

I'm obsessed with the way the lighting is here, I made a couple other gifs but this one is the longest to try to get the feeling of how the light plays across Vessel but honestly please go watch the video to get the full effect (or at least as full of an effect as we can, not getting to see it live)

As much as i adore vessel's current get up and tbh, wouldn't like him to change anything, if we do actually get something deer themed, especially deer skull themed, i will become ungovernable

edit: i may or may not have been inspired to write some headcanons based on this, if you're interested

I find it funny when metal elitists try to diss ST by calling it pop music (omg is that imagine dragons :0)

like, metal gatekeeper incorrectly assigns a genre to a particular artist or band, then insists they're an infallible source of knowledge and authority within their preferred genre. brother you apparently can't even differentiate alt metal from top 40 radio music. what makes you think I trust your opinion on anything?
