Why go, where I can’t follow?

people don’t talk about hilda (from the netflix show) enough and how absolutely insane she is. and by that i mean how she takes the Traditional Hero trope to the absolute extremes. she is filled with overwhelming whimsy; adventure is drawn to her like a goddamn magnet and absolutely NO ONE can stop her from pursuing it. and if they even try to get in her way then fuck them. this kid’s normal tuesday means possibly dying multiple times and fighting The Horrors. everyone around her is concerned for her and the unstoppable magical girl powers that she wields but she absolutely WILL be a little shit about it because she was pulled from her whimsical littol cottage in the woods where she played with trolls and forced to move to fucking Normal Non-Magic Town. turns out going to Normal Town is only a minor setback and soon she’s back on the befriending magical creatures (a GIANT TALKING RAVEN) grind. she’s so Magical Girl Protagonist that even her own mother is terrified for her.

put simply: hilda subverts the magical girl trope in such a way that makes her a threat to normal society. and i love her for that

One of the funniest things about bsd tbh is how fukuzawa and fukuchi both have white hair, and you assume it's cause they're old, but then we get the flashbacks to their childhood and they still. Have white hair. Assigned old man at birth

doll spider is so real. charles and edwin are reuniting in hell and in the middle of whatever gay shit charles was starting to say doll spider bursts in like SHUT THE FUCK UP!! ENOUGH WITH THAT GAY SHIT!! I DONT WANNA HEAR THE REST OF THAT GAY ASS SENTENCE!! like good for her honestly. she was only chasing them up the stairs during the confession scene because she heard charles say that orpheus and eurydice line and knew it would only get worse from there. she just wanted them out of hell before she had to hear any more sickeningly romantic homo shit, man. and like i get it. mad respect, queen.

Sometimes I find posts from parents who are on the face of it supportive of their autistic children almost as offputting as the classic 'Woe is me, my child has autism and will never make eye-contact which is the only form of signalling love' autism-mom posts.

Stuff like : What I learned from my autistic kid's stimming and how I applied it to grow my business!

or : my autistic child told me insert-behaviour-here made them uncomfortable! (And like the saint I am I deigned to believe them. Eventually.)

or: watch this heartwarming video of my (sweet angelic, normal) neurotypical kids playing with their autistic sibling (as if he's a Normal Child!)

or: watch this heartwarming video of an exhausted mcdonald's employee indulging my autistic child's questions (no I didn't leave a tip)

and I'm just here like, you may be better than parents who make their entire identity about the suffering having an autistic kid causes them, but you are still, fundamentally, making your kid's autism diagnosis all about you.

Also you're still using your kid as a living prop for clicks, which sucks ass no matter who's doing it.

persona 3 protagonist as a superboss in p6/undefined persona game except there are 22 phases and you have to sit through 'the arcana is the means by which all is revealed' for every single phase change until you get to the universe arcana as the final phase

bonus points for a dmg check part in the final phase where the boss becomes stunned if you reach the threshold. bonus bonus points if they begin spamming you with 9999-dmg megidolaons if you can't pass the dmg check

oh captain my captain i didn't know what league of legends game was when i watched arcane. so i thought the plot was alright since i didn't (still don't) know the game lore. if it wasn't basically a prequel story, trying to aim the characters at the way they are in canon, do u think the plot and character arcs would have held up alright? or does that actually make the arcane canon story worse since it wouldn't at least have the existing canon as something it needed to land at eventually as an excuse for any "out of character" decisions? thank u

i wouldnt even call it a prequel story? its like a very elaborate au in a sense, one that feels comfortable changing things to a certain extent- clothes, personality adjustments, motivations, but they still have to hit certain beats. vi has to be an enforcer, jinx has to be a wild card harley quinn type, ekkos time powers ect ect. idk WHAT it is maybe the show needed more time or tighter focus or less characters but i just felt that like, some of the story decisions directly relating to LoL lore werent outright bad but didnt have a lot of time to breathe. the standout example being ekkos time thing, where when i watched that scene i assumed it was both a stylistic representation of a fight and establishing his and jinx's prior relationship (which is kind of too little too late considering they did not fucking speak once as kids pre time skip), and then i had to get a friend to explain to me for SEVERAL MINUTES that he literally died during that fight and it was supposed to be showing his rewind thing. it just wasnt clear at all and his character would not change in the slightest if he didnt have it. but you cant NOT include it so. *

really i have no clue the full extent of the story the writers wanted to tell and how much LoL is binding their hands on story beats. and i REALLY dont want to be inflexible considering i still have a full season coming up that might make me more receptive to certain decisions. but considering how much of the cast i REALLY like just straight up are not in the game, i think they are fully capable of making a solid story completely divorced from league

*someone in the comments told me apparently that Wasnt his time thing and my original read of the scene was correct so im not gonna hold it against the show.

The characters i gravitate to have death flags generally, but Persona 3 is the first time where every single character I loved died. Like. I'm breaking my own record with this one, how is this even possible
