I really despise the Marvelification of Stranger Things, because all the interviews nowadays are constantly referencing how fast paced and epic and big the finale will be but the reason people fell in love with the show wasn't special effects or long episodes; it was the plot, it was the characters, it was the mystery. Stranger Things 1 may have been a story about a government conspiracy and a monster, but that's not why we stuck around. The show can throw amazing CGI, Russians, a battle within the American army and an apocalypse at the audience with the biggest budget known to man but if they forget to ground it and keep it central, it'll just get lost amongst a plethora of other "epic" blockbusters. We want Steven King, not Avengers.
#i think s5 has a TON of potential to be great don't get me wrong#but they need to drive home the characters#make the final fight rooted in emotion not throwing hands at each other and screaming#s4 i think was getting there by exploring max's arc and the hawkins plotline was perfect#so don't take this as me saying s5 will be bad#but s1 and 2 are my favourites for a reason#im just getting nervous based on them constantly banging on about how big the finale will be#ALSO they need to put emphasis on the mystery around will and the ud being frozen#if they keep it central and focus on will and eleven i think they can pull it off#but i hope this makes sense#stranger things#byler#will byers#stranger things five#st5#stranger things one#stranger things two

"Vi was the real Jinx" "No Hextech was the real Jinx" "No Jayce and Viktor were the Jinx for creating Hextech"
Arcane fans are all so fucking stupid and y'all deserve this stupid ass show. If this show had even a modicum of intelligence its thesis statement would have been that institutional oppression enacted by Piltover against Zaun was the real jinx and rot of show, finally giving rise to a monster coming to Jinx them back and be the reckoning for all their sins. Instead they give us that fuckass idiotic episode 7 that attempts to pin all the blame on Hextech and pretends like the horrible conditions of Zaun and cruelty of Piltover didn't already exist long before Jayce and Viktor cranked that damn crystal. Not only that, they go and martyr Vi which just gave the lowest bottom of the barrel members of this fandom a chance to accuse her of being the "real" jinx. This show is unserious garbage and its moronic fans deserve it.
#i thought i was done ranting about episode 7 but i'm not#it's so fucking stupid and it's maddening to see it get praised as the best episode#it was garbage. utter garbage. take off the timebomb shipping goggles and see how they brushed aside all the themes of class oppression#and pinned the entire tragedy of season 1 ON HEXTECH. because of fucking course magic was the fault of everything. magic is the Big Bad.#nothing else. definitely not the council or the enforcers. magic needs to go. not piltover.#vi isn't even my favourite character but if you accuse either her or jinx for being at fault for everything you're a fucking cretin#enjoy your garbage show. god i wish i knew how ass this series was going to be so i never would have gotten into s1#vi#jinx#ekko#jayce#viktor#arcane s2#arcane#arcane league of legends#arcane critical#arcane season 2#arcane netflix#piltover#zaun#league of legends

when Arthur finally admits his feelings for Gwen to Merlin and says "my father would never let me marry her", and Merlin goes "you want to MARRY Gwen?!" like "shit, dude, I didn't realise it was this serious"
#arthur (2 days after kissing gwen): imma wife her up#merlin: what??#arthur: what??#'I think about her all the time'#'I care about her more than anyone' 😭😭😭#it lowkey bothers me when people make this scene about merthur#'he could be talking about merlin!' mmkay but he's not 🙃#he's talking about gwen#can we be about gwen for just one minute#also love this scene because merlin is SUCH a romantic#like it's such a fundamental part of his character it's adorable#look at his face when gaius is talking about his ex fianc��e alice!!#(of course gaius was also taking about magic there which is why merlin had such a stupid grin on his face)#(love and magic are his two favourite things)#arwen#arthur x gwen#merlin#ep 2x04#merlin 2x04

AOT Sexualities Headcanons (Part 1)
Since I have nothing better to do, here are my AOT characters' sexualities headcanons (it's my opinion, pls be nice, homophobes DNI)
Probably gonna do it in parts cause there are so many characters LMAO. Also, go and check out my previous [post] about it for context. So anyways without further ado
Part 1 - The Scouts under the cut
Eren - demiromantic demisexual
Eren doesn't usually fall for people and doesn't think about romance, but when he does, he falls hard. He doesn't care about gender, he just needs to feel a really close connection to someone to feel anything. Also, he's famously oblivious to flirtations towards him, which is a popular inside joke among Scouts.
Mikasa - unlabeled
She’s very much Erensexual and that’s it LMAO But jokes aside, she really doesn't care and doesn't see a reason in labeling herself (not that it's a bad thing, she just feels like no name would ever truly fit her). What matters to her are her feelings for Eren and all her closest friends and that's enough.
Armin - pansexual
He doesn’t mind in general but he has a problem recognizing his feelings as something more than a friendship or admiration. He acts friendly and normal and then BOOM, that one special spark and, out of nowhere he’s an awkward ball of fluff. I feel like he just wants someone to talk to about the ocean and who will make him feel seen and safe <3
Jean - (closeted) bisexual
Marco was totally his bisexual awakening. Even though he knows nobody in the Scout Regiment will judge him, he's still scared to come out and every time someone asks him, he's very defensive about being straight (nobody believes him) (just look at him, very much chaotic bisexual icon 💅)
Sasha - heteroromantic asexual
Probably an unpopular opinion but I really don’t see her being into girls. I feel like the Scouts were initially surprised about it after seeing her being so close with Mikasa, but they are just besties. She’s sex-repulsed but will laugh at Connie’s dirty jokes. She’s a hopeless romantic though. She and Connie are platonic soulmates <3
Connie - aromantic asexual ❤️
He never got the appeal of romance or sex, and when someone was flirting with him, he felt really uncomfortable. His friends (especially Sasha) have helped him understand and come to terms with his feelings. He's also sex-repulsed but that doesn’t stop him from telling dirty jokes to others. He and Sasha are platonic soulmates <3
Marco - gay
I have nothing else to say other than the fact that I could never see him in any other way. The gay vibes are very strong with this one (just look at how he looks at Jean!!!)
Ymir - lesbian
She knew she was "different" since she was young, but had to hide it very well. Time spent on Paradis with her friends was the best time in her life because she could finally be her authentic self, without having to deal with homophobia and all the religious trauma, but also because she met the love of her life!
Historia - lesbian
I feel like at first she thought she was straight and then she met Ymir and truly realized something about herself. After that, she was proud of her sexuality, until she became the queen and realized how important her role was. Pregnancy was a hard time for her, especially knowing that Ymir was gone. But to not make it too sad I like to think that her husband was an understanding guy and tried to help as much as he could, while still understanding that he will never be the one and only for her 💔
#don't take this too seriously#i'm just having fun here#no homophobia allowed#also connie is very much me#aroace connie is my favourite headcanon ever#and yes i may be projecting some things here but its my headcanons and i will do what i want#expect part 2 very soon with more characters#probably warriors next#or the veterans idk#we'll see#attack on titan#shingeki no kyojin#aot headcanons#snk headcanons#eren jaeger#mikasa ackerman#armin arlert#jean kirschtein#sasha braus#connie springer#marco bodt#ymir#ymir freckles#historia reiss#aot spoilers#my ramblings

best New Year's Eve in forever cos my sister and I fucking FINALLY started watching Interview with the Vampire
#interview with the vampire#it's literally the only show I've actually wanted to start lately and it still took me over 2 years to find the time#it's actually wild how little tv I watch now. part of it is not having the time but also#the state of the industry rn has made me fall out of love with the medium#shows either keep running and turn to shit or get cancelled after one or two seasons so it's hard to want to start something new#all that said lol we watched 2 episodes and I'm enjoying it so far#I'm not completely bewitched by it yet. hoping I get pulled in more and more as it goes which i can def see happening#I've seen plenty of bits and pieces and knew it would be super different from the book#but it's somehow even more different than I expected lol#in a way it's a good thing cos I can just take it as it is and not compare#I just still need time to wrap my head around these characters; this setting; this plot#because it's pretty much like entering an entirely new property haha#the dynamic between Louis and Lestat is of course fascinating - both very similar and very different to the book#and yeah I'm having a good time with it so far and intrigued to explore these versions of the characters#the book is one of my all time favourites and still reigns supreme at this point but we'll see if the show can catch up 👀

got some custom 'the cat returns' merch for xmas (😌😌😌😌😌) because studio ghibli doesn't actually make any and that got me googling stuff again and finding out how the viewing public at large likes that film sklslsld. i can't believe 90% of people in the world have bad taste and hate it. to me it's the best ghibli movie
(me when people say that wh*sper of the heart, which i found deeply boring partly because i first saw it 15 years after first seeing the cat returns, is better and the original™️ and if i enjoy tcr i should watch that:)
#are the other entries genuinely groundbreaking animation art? yeah#but consider: sometimes you want a fantasy adventure comfort movie. with cats.#it has lore and it has memorable characters + a protagonist character arc!!! it has interesting and fun worldbuilding#the pacing is effortless#the finnish dub is deeply funny every line is a meme to me skksks#i hate seeing people's hot takes that it's bad not because they couldnt be right but because its all so condescending#my real hot take is that i cant stand my neighbour totoro. overrated. was made to watch it too many times and don't like it anymore skkks#ok tbh. i like the quiet parts in the forest and the animism themes. but i dont like the human characters and i've never liked cottage life#and thats ok !! i can appreciate that its a lot of ppls favourite#impassioned cat returns rant at 2 am sksllsls. normal as always#anyway i am SO excited about my present heheh

i think all magical girl fans can agree that the worst trope is "main characters have to raise a baby"
#i got to season 3 of pripara and after the peak that was season 2#this season starts of with... laala taking care of a baby#i can't judge too quickly because i'm only 2 episodes in#but god the baby is already annoying me#also after flipfloping my opinion of her i've decided ellee from hirogaru sky is one of my least favourite characters#that season would've been peak if so much of it didn't revolve around protecting and raising ellee#and.. unpopular opinion but for ojamajo doremi i think it was weird to make elementary schoolers mother a baby for 2 seasons#the only show where i liked it was mahoutsukai precure#because ha-chan grew up and became an actual character#precure#pretty series#fresh precure#dokidoki precure#hugtto precure#hirogaru sky precure#pripara#ojamajo doremi#rebecca talks

okay so i’ve been watching a lot of smosh content recently and i’m enjoying a lot of their stuff (it’s the starkid to smosh pipeline istg. thank you angela giarratana). and i’m hesitant to call myself a fan yet (mainly because i would love it if they stopped employing a zionist yk) but i will say. baf legacy has been consuming all of my waking thoughts ever since i watched it and i can’t hold it in any longer. i’m so obsessed. need this series pumped through my blood 24/7.
#might go on a lil baf legacy reblog spam#LIKE it’s just a combo of some of my favourite media tropes#1) fucked up houses#2) fucked up families#3) ghosts and other supernatural entities#4) destiny and the forces that bind people together#5) actors breaking character and having a fun time#also some of the timeline details do not make sense#and as my cornley moots know i LOVEEE trying to make sense of timelines that don’t add up#anyway yeah i feel like i probably have some smosh fan moots#so if i do. hiii 👋#also i’ve been working my way through their content but if anyone has any particular video/series recommendations#i’ll gladly take them#also also. this post is mainly about baf legacy#but i also just wanted to mention that brianna boho my beloved <333#i love so many of their recurring characters but brianna has a special place in my heart#edit: forgot one thing on my list which is 6) COLOUR CODED CHARACTERS!!!! LOVE SOME COLOUR CODING!!!!

I've watched Scream 6 so many times at this point to talk about it that I genuinely can't take it seriously anymore.
#/mp#Scream#the more you watch something the more you notice things you don't like#anyway it's still one of my favourite movies and I'm not gonna stop. I just think it's funny.#Like I'm watching the post Gale scene right now and all I can think is why did it take so long for you to react to Sam's words.#Why were those seconds wasted? It didn't look good. It didn't add anything. It just wasted time.#I think Scream 5 and 6 have a problem where they want to be focussed on a character for a scene but then they want to show the other side#of that scene for other characters but instead of having the camera just show all the characters they show 1 reacting and then 2 reacting#in a way that makes it seem like it's one long scene but it's NOT it's them both reacting to the same moment shown one after the other.#does that make sense?

grips you by the shoulders
give FFXIII a chance
as much as I adore the game I will accept the gameplay isn't for everyone
but the story is so worth it
#you want found family? here it is#watch a playthrough on YT if you have to#and yes it might take a while for the gears to get going story-wise. but so it is with 99% of rpgs#the character development of the cast is SUPERB#it is exactly what you'd exprct from a FF story#FFXIII-2 also a banger game but it helped for me that i got obsessed with a side characters design#in the original XIII. and it just so happened that character became the protag of the next one LOL#but also noel baby boy. and caius one of the best FF villains i will not be accepting criticism#anyway. people love to hate the game but i have a controversial opinion on why that likely is#and id probably get mauled for stating it :-)#also the soundtrack (the thing that spurred this post on) is stellar. masashi hamauzu popping off as usual#but yeah. give it a chance. its a wonderful story of fighting fate while dealing with grief#amongst other things but tag character limit you understand#i will take this moment to share something about me i find so funny#my preferred name is snow. there's a character in XIII called snow.#i did not pick the name from him. he's actually my least favourite character in XIII LMFAOOOO#i appreciate how his character was built and i understand it. i just dont mesh well with overly brash hero types#(its why i didnt like kingsglaive.... sorry nyx)#all of the cast are so interesting with unique depths to them... even snow! and before i have to throttle anyone#that also means hope estheim too. grips you menacingly. that is a child facing the horrors .#ummm oops i be yapping again. my bad

I don't know why "weird nonhuman thing that acts like a douchebag dudebro" has become one of my "types" but here we are I guess
#I finally played The Hex and my favourite characters are the evil blue human lad and the purple fart cloud. ugh#like ok. liking 2 characters of a certain Type is like “oh I just like X because they're like Y”#but 3 establishes a pattern...#so we have Galacta Vallamir and... I shan't say. I'll take the last one to my grave
