#esp if they're not doing anything malicious or bad even

[msdk-00]

hey guys daniella back again dumping random information on my tumblr mutuals that know way too much about my worst traits but anyways my worst trait of them all might be that when somebody is doing something i dislike rather than verbally creating a boundary or explaining why i dislike it or telling them to stop (firmly, not jokingly or softly) i just do it back to them in hopes they also dislike it and will subtly realize what they're doing. and let me tell you it never fucking works and then when i bring it up eventually, i am simply a hypocrite at that point. and horribly emotionally immature

I love TentooxRose, but I'm a strong believer that after Bad Wolf Bay 2, they didn't get immediately together. Flight into Hull is a amazing story, and I think Rose had maybe some similar worries like Jackie regarding Tentoo. But it would have been sorted out after they spent time together and get to know each other again. I mean, Rose must also have some emotional scars what needed to be dealt with...

well, one of the best things about tentoorose is that that world is mostly up to interpretation. you can say they didn't immediately get together and i can't argue with you (also depends on your definition of "together" - they were already together to me, in s2, even without the sex)

i do think it would take a few weeks for them to cross the line into constant snogging and sex but i don't think it's unbelievable that they'd just have sex that first night, esp with how desperate that kiss was. depends on my mood.

at the end of the day, we'll never know and i kinda like not knowing because i like imagining different scenarios and i find multiple different ways it could've happened believable and realistic.

all we know for a fact is that by the 2009 specials they are happy and together, since rtd said so.

i disagree that rose would feel similarly to jackie because rose and jackie have different relationships with the doctor. jackie is struggling because tentoo is acting how he did when he was the ninth doctor and jackie did not know the ninth doctor: rose did. she has a different frame of reference. and jackie is also just lashing out because she's scared of losing rose to the doctor again. they're different situations. (also jackie has her own situation with pete, where he is the same man but the same man who has different memories so her frame of reference is probably skewed by that too)

i think rose would struggle in the sense that ten is alone. she probably felt guilty giving into her own happiness knowing ten was struggling, but i don't think she would ever believe tentoo is malicious or that he isn't the doctor. if she weren't fully convinced that this was the man she loves then him saying i love you wouldn't have meant anything and she wouldn't have kissed him. a really important aspect of that scene is that rtd put the power in rose's hands and had her choose tentoo. of course they'd have a lot of healing and stumbling toward happiness to do together, but i can't imagine her feeling the way jackie did at all which is why the audios being from jackie's pov work so well imo.

but really, it's been over 15 years now and i did all the thinking about how they get to an established and stable relationship ten+ years ago, now i just love thinking about their life with their jobs and their daughter and all the happiness they have found 💗

s2ep10 gorizilla

this episode was just like. so bad.

the akumatized object

hawkmoth suspecting adrien might be chat noir

hawkmoth being a villain before the butterfly miraculous was created

wayhem

emilie agreste

adrien being chased by fans

i'm going out of order bc i want to address the ones that won't take paragraphs, but what a strange set-up to have adrien suddenly become popular and well-known as if he isn't the son of one of paris' most prestigious and well-known fashion designers. like adrien has already modeled for the agreste fashion line??? okay i know that if i saw a model, i wouldn't even know except maybe thinking they'd have the looks for a model, so that's fair. but, again, it just seems weird given that marinette was able to google him on the first day of school and finds tons of photos of him. it just reasonably means that if someone were looking up gabriel, they'd stumble across his son, right?

anyway, not a huge sin. just felt really strange, given the previous set-up with adrien.

okay, going off-track here but i will say i do like that adrien was the damsel in distress this time. esp since they were referencing godzilla in this episode. that was a nice change of pace. but again, the only praise i'll give it.

can they stop referencing popular movies tho? this one wasn't as bad as the sapotis one, though. bc at least this one doesn't butcher someone's cultural folklore and mythology.

edit: i take that last paragraph back bc i just realized it's not godzilla they're referencing, it's king kong! i just thought godzilla bc of the name similarities (and how the west has done all this king kong vs gozilla bullshit). and while i guess it's clever to name him gorizilla bc he's called the gorilla by adrien, i think it's,,,insensitive, to be generous, for the creator to co-opt the name from godzilla here. bc 1) the gorilla turning into a giant gorilla has nothing to do with godzilla except for his size and, as referenced by the show itself, has more to do with king kong, but 2) it's frustrating to see the west completely miss the point of the creation of godzilla bc from my understanding, it was a direct response to the fear from radiation poisoning and effects felt after the u.s. bombed hiroshima and nagasaki in wwii. it's not malicious, but it's certainly ignorant racism.

they really couldn't think of a fun or clever pun for this one that has more to do with king kong?? not to mention, not all of their akuma names are clever or puns, so it's not a crime for them to just. not do a clever name here. in fact, it would be the exact opposite had they decided to try and reference king kong a bit better. bc what they did end up doing feels like it should be a hate crime tbh. anyway, back to the regularly scheduled post.

how did wayhem know that gorizilla was tracking adrien by scent?? when and how did he figure that out? like on one hand, i will admit, that's a clever way to resolve the issue with adrien being chat noir, but it's also weird that wayhem just knows how gorizilla works when we didn't even see how he figured it out or his thought process. it just comes out of the blue and it would've been really nice for them to spend a second longer letting us in on the secret.

the odd choice to keep concealing emilie's face was also very strange bc. we've already. seen her face??? in the first season??? so why make it mysterious mystery now?? what i really want to know is if they go into anything about who she was and what she did before she died or whatever happened to her in the remaining 3 seasons (goddd there are still 3 seasons and they didn't even get to any major arcs in them??) like right now, she's just a pretty lamp. a pretty, fridged lamp.

once again, another point in the "they created hawkmoth before the butterfly miraculous." i just realized this now, but the kwamis tell you what to say to transform. and the fact that gabriel has to say "dark wings, rise" to transform tells me he was the villain first. bc what kind of superhero would say "dark wings?" yknow?

i think this was the episode that convinced me that he like, actually cared about his son. the va for hawkmoth is very good. but i do wonder why then, when in the s3 time-travel episode they have gabriel body his son into the effiel tower after they infiltrate his underground shrine?

well, anyway. i'm glad i didn't totally make up the fact that gabriel actually loves his son in some capacity.

what i wanted to say here mostly tho was i think it's very funny how easily these characters take what they see at face value. i mean, obviously they have vested interest in doing so but it is just very funny to me. bc ladybug and chat noir no longer believe gabriel could be hawkmoth bc he was akumatized, and gabrial no long believes adrien is chat noir bc they were allegedly in the same place at the same time.

that just reminded me, jumping around here, the fact that they took a lot of short-cuts in this episode. in more ways than one. like the fact that in volpina we see ladybug extremely concerned about adrien and almost unwilling to leave him alone. but here, she just drops the concern completely and takes chat noir's word for it, even tho last time she didn't? it's just not internally consistent and that felt extremely off to me.

there was another short-cut i wanted to mention but i forgot what it was. it had something to do with character models bc i was going to use the fact that one of the little girl character models in this ep was clearly just manon with the colors changed as evidence that they take short-cuts. and there's nothing wrong with that, i understand that animation is time-consuming and hard. esp on a tight schedule, i had just wanted to point it out that it hurt its own narrative. like i'm not blaming the animation team, i just think it detracts from the show. i'm all for giving animation teams way more time to do their jobs, so we actually have something nice to look at. i don't mind waiting longer. but ceos sure do.

finally, i think the akumatized object was really badly done. how did ladybug figure out that that's what the object was when 1) it's so small compared to gorizilla and 2) it was hidden in his pockets? it's not implied that she saw adrien drop his lucky charm that she'd given him, so how could she have known? not to mention, to assume the gorilla picked it up is a huge logical leap. how could she have been so sure that the gorilla picked it up and not one of the fans/mob? esp since they would presume it belonged to adrien? how could she have been so sure it didn't fall onto the tracks, shoved by one of the fans' feet? there just a huge plot hole that i have to jump here that i can't.

i'm also a big annoyed that the object has more significance to adrien than the gorilla. like up to this point, the object is always something that the person holds dear to them in some capacity. but marinette's charm bracelet she gave to adrien? it doesn't really fit with the pattern they've been showing us for a season and a half.

also also, something i had wanted to mention in the last episode too, the fact that they don't communicate and somehow intuit or infer what the other wants is very, very annoying. like i get they're trying to fit everything into 25 minutes and i've complained about things being too fast, but that's not really an excuse when spongebob was able to fit two whole narrative arcs into a 30 min show, 15 mins for each. and none of them ever felt rushed or incomplete.

anyway, what i'm trying to say here, is that whenever ladybug has a plan, she rarely, if ever, explains it to chat noir. nor did she explain it to rena rouge in the last episode. they just suddenly knew, and that's bad writing. it also teaches kids that they shouldn't communicate when communication is actually incredibly important. no one can read minds, sometimes you have to use your words to get meaning across. but this show is really dead set on trying to convince kids that telekinesis is a thing, i guess.

about LK on the helipad, even with that Chan did say not the blame the company because "they couldn't do anything about it"...

YEAH IM LIKE........idk some things are beyond their control! it happens! they're still people with jobs and lives it feels weird as a whole to try and act like they're evil and whatnot lmao. and even in the clips where we see the boys frustrated or annoyed it's like. yeah! this is still their job! you can get annoyed with the people you work with or be unhappy with something and still love what you do and the people you work with. it's clear skz are v close w/ their staff and it's weird to insinuate they don't think of their best interests when those are people they see every day and have even gone out of their way to thank during concerts regularly

also bc i was thinking about it, just speaking for jyp (the guy) specifically. i know in general it's v easy and popular to shit on him (he's done some not great shit don't get me wrong, def deserved in those cases), but there are v few instances of people who know him actually having anything bad to say about him. there's a reason so many artists work with him! sunmi left twice!!! and still did a song with him. chan's said he'd love to do a song with him! the (admittedly funny and cringe) performance he did with mamamoo was considered a big deal! even with got7, bambam had dinner with him after he left and showed him his album (and jyp had great things to say about the songs!!!) jaebeom made sure to mention him and was v thankful to him when got7's latest album came out. his artists regularly poke fun and tease him and it's taken in stride and with affection.

also, he's written on some of the best title tracks (a, not by the moon, just right, tomorrow today, feel special, alcohol-free, i can't stop me, cry for me, nobody, a.d.t.o.y, 24 hours, icy, my pace, levanter, all in) so it's insanely always confusing to me when people say he'd "ruin" skz songs by partaking in them when...a) he already has and b) those are some really really good ones of theirs lol. like all ceos are evil, but in a list of them i'd put jyp like. further down the list of kpop company ceos i'd put through the guillotine. even watching survival shows, he seems to actually care about them as people and artists and his criticism specifically there is never actually malicious (esp if you compare him to yg. my god LMAO) and comes from thinking there's improvement. again i think a lot of things are easy to try and pinpoint on jyp and jype, but at the end of the day are still industry standards, not personal ones set by them/him, ideally they wouldn't be perpetuated but they're standards that have bene around for a while for a reason. again i think things are getting better, slowly, they'll just take time!
