Red Cliff Part One Thoughts

I really like the style/design (idk proper terminology) whatever. The sets and the locations! The cinematography. It's all really pretty!

My heart was breaking in literally the very first scene with Emperor Xian and the little birdie and he looked so happy for a single second in his miserable life and then Cao Cao came in and he just went... deflate :(

Speaking of Cao Cao.. he didn't really do it for me. He lacked a certain chaotic pizzazz that I think Cao Cao should have. Like he was just Some Guy who occasionally went into Cartoon Villian mode and it was just a bit... bleh. He looked ok though.

Zhuge Liang is kinda cute and I like his energy. His introduction was fun with the way they had him lying in the grass. Looks-wise he doesn't really fit my image of him (i can't deal with his hair being up all the time for a start) but he's still Blorbo™

ZHAO YUN BABY RESCUE ZHAO YUN BABY RESCUE. I didn't initially know the movie covered Changban but I'm SO glad it does.

Also. He got to cuddle Liu Bei 🥺🥰 (who, I might add, DID NOT YEET HIS SON!!!)

Actually Liu Bei really was just a cute old dad in this 💗

We haven't seen much of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei but I like that Zhang Fei seems to actually have braincells. It's a nice change. Also the scene with Guan Yu reading to the kids towards the end is so fucking cute.

I was a bit confused about Sun Quan already being styled as a prince because I was sure that didn't happen until later? but maybe i'm wrong. He's kinda hot.

I found it a bit weird that Zhuge Liang could just walk up into his face like that because it feels a bit inappropriate to do that to a prince you have literally only just met?

Where is Ziyu? Where is my son??

ZHOU YU??? I HAVE to talk for a long time about Zhou Yu. To me this portrayal is like, the Real™ Zhou Yu. I mean don't get me wrong, I enjoy the petty, competitive little bitch that he often gets portrayed as thanks to Luo Guanzhong, but this dude? He's charming. He's kind. I fell so in love with him. Sure in an ideal world he'd have been more of a prettyboy in the face but hey you can't have everything, and he was still kinda handsome. With a gorgeous smile :)

Oh yeah and the way they introduce him by fixing the flute for that kid. I was like THAT'S HIM THAT'S MY NERD. My HEART.

The romantic and sexual tension between these two is off the charts

They go to see Zhou Yu's pretty wife Xiao Qiao and Zhuge Liang helps her deliver a baby horse... just... because? And they gaze lovingly at each other a bit more

And then they go into a darkened room to have sex play a duet while Xiao Qiao and Lu Su watch on awkwardly.

Then Sun Quan's baby sister Xiaomei shows up and asserts herself as the obligatory Sword Girl™. She insists on being involved in all the action and battle scenes. Which, well, fine I guess. At least she was historically into swords.

Anyway they go hunting and we have to watch a guy almost get eaten by a tiger.

Speaking of girls, after this we have to watch Zhou Yu have ACTUAL sex with his wife (possibly to try and make us forget about his chemistry with Zhuge Liang). Which is fine, I guess. But Xiao Qiao has been pretty much a cardboard cut-out Pretty Wife for most of this. She doesn't have anything inspiring or valuable to say. They don't even mention that she's a good musician too!

Off they all go back to meet Liu Bei + Crew again and they all become FRIENDS and it turns into a really cute buddy movie between Wu and Shu. Liu Bei is WEAVING SHOES.

There's a little bit of dick-measuring, but mostly they all get on and it's cute :)

Then there's a bit long battle or whatever. The most notable moment being Zhou Yu PULLING THE ARROW OUT OF HIS SHOULDER OH GOD WHYYYYY. NOO. WHY WOULD YOU RUIN A PERFECTLY GOOD MOVIE WITH THAT

And then they have a big banquet and Sun Quan decides NOW is the perfect time to propose a marriage between his baby sister and that pathetic old Liu Bei. So she seals Liu Bei's accupoints.

The difference between Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang's reactions to this is very befitting of their characters I think lmao

Cao Cao continues to be a horny vanilla old dick. Zhuge Liang and Xiaomei play with pigeons and have a cute chat. Which feels good to me because I always saw Liangliang as the type that properly respects women.

Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu have a final little chat where they're like "oh gosh I really hope we don't become enemies :(:(:( " and then that's the end!!

Character Bingo about Vox and since I know you also like the Witcher, Lambert please :)

Original Here

Thank you for the ask!

For Vox:

Defending my choices:

The reason I would kiss Vox and not Alastor is because I only want to do it once. I’m curious as to what kissing a TV screen with a mouth is like, ok? I already know what kissing a humanoid face is like, and it’s boring. Like yeah, the teeth change things, but that’s why I focused my energy on BITE.

The “beast unleashed” is in a different regard than Alastor. The beast in regards to Vox is his pathetic-ness, which is off the charts. I am unhinged about how pathetic this man is.

I hate Vox. And I love to hate him. The same is true for all the Vees to varying levels. They’re so terrible; I’m so glad they’re here.

For Lambert:

Confessing my sins:

I feel like Lambert is the kind of character I could become obsessed with if I learned slightly more about him, but I haven’t had an immediate pull the way I did with certain others.

Ok so some of my headcanons are just me accepting Lamden fanon, but fuck, I didn’t even play the games and I ship it!

Everyone goes in the salad spinner. I like my blorbos disturbed. They need to be tossed around a lil.

Both his game and show aesthetic are vibes, tbh. Different vibes, but both vibes I enjoy. Game!Lambert’s design is so edgy, and we all know I love an edgelord design. Show!Lambert’s aesthetic is just… idk I like it.

[marvellouspinecone]

Interpreting your reaction as 'yes', would you like to align the Pond spacetravelling family (11, Amy, Rory, River, the TARDIS, feel free to add Brian) in the ultimate blorbo alignment chart? 😍

Oh-ho that's interesting

TARDIS is, of course, a true neutral, none of these things and all of them at the same time. Of course, there's nothing sexier than heavy machinery and alien technology indistinguishable from magic, but it doesn't affect her slutty-virgin levels whatsoever, she's beyond this type of thing

You might think that Rory is the ultimate angel in this group dynamic, and generally you'd be right, but we don't know how many war crimes he commited while guarding the Pandorica, and judging by how bonkers protective he is over Amy ("Where. Is. My. Wife? *cyberfleet blowing up in the distance*) the answer might be "many". So we place him safely in the middle. He's chiiling right there with the TARDIS only moved slightly to the left because of his severely unslutty vibes. He is a wife guy, as monogamous as they come.

Amy has mild levels of both war crime and sluttiness, thus proving that you can't hang out with the Doctor if you're not at least a little bit unhinged. Her sluttiness is not about her "cheating on Rory with the Doctor the night before wedding" subplot (although i'm judging Moffat for it), because this is not what healthy sluttiness is, but her general vibes and confidence, i mean, she was flirting with herself, what else can i say?

River is the sluttiest character of this era change my mind. Her sexy arrogance? The flirting? All the husbands (and wives) that she doesn't care about? The only reason her war crime levels are not sky high is because imo she doesn't care about war much. She doesn't seem the type of person to violate Geneva convention bc she wouldn't be there in the first place, you know? However her regular crime levels? Off the chart, acab, be bi do crimes

The Doctor radiates catastrophic levels of virgin energy that are a bit lowered simply because he is married to THE River Song. I know he has a million partners also and is a part of universe's biggest policule, but his energy is turbovirgin all the way through. The war criminal thing doesn't need explaining lmao

And finally, Brian is a sweet sweet angel who has no plave in the TARDIS bc of that. He gets some slut energy points bc the sluttiest thing a man can do is be a caring father and water someone else's plants when they are gone for a bit. I had a few angel points taken from him bc he is mean to Rory in "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship". Like, seriously dude, you're playing favourites and not even choosing your own son? Over his wife? Smh

Thank you for the ask! It was fun. My opinions are of course super subjective, as well as my interpretation of the chart

The Ballad of the Blue Blorbo Rant

When we were little, my sister and I used to divide up favorite characters, like: "You'll get that one if I get this one," so when we got a set of Ninja Turtles toys, we divided them up by color. I knew there were cartoon episodes and a movie even back then, but I was distracted by other movies to get really into it back then. *'This Is Halloween' starts playing*

Years later when I actually cared about cartoons that were airing, a new show came on, and I was sold. Then I saw my favorite toy as a character and I was like: "This one's mine~"

I can't stand when people say Leonardo is boring, like he's too normal in comparison to his brothers. This boy is incapable of acting normal about pretty much anything, everything needs to be extra with this guy. If he can kick an enemy, it'll be the fanciest kick he knows, if the rest of the brothers are sneaking around normally, he's crawling on the walls like he was auditioning for the next Spiderverse movie.

That also goes for the more general complaints that he and his brothers don't act enough like teenagers. This boy is so proud of his ninja skills that he makes them his personality. He'd blog about ninja shit and nothing else. He's a total tater-tot, so relatable it hurts. Leonardo takes himself so seriously, but he's a total doofus. He's not above his brothers' nonsense, he just acts like he is and that is such an important distinction.

Also, his older sibling energy is on point. He radiates big bro levels off the charts.

It's not just that he has a winner personality, his design is on point. All the turtles in this version have the same body type for a reason, it's a solid silhouette shape for a ninja turtle. 03 Leo is a certified hunk by teenaged mutant ninja turtle standards.

Of course, the downside of hyperfixating on this version of the Turtles is that the people making the new cartoons treat it as the friend nobody likes, especially their Leo. "He's not goofy enough, let's make him be into pop culture." "He's too perfect, let's make him the slacker who's secretly a savant." Congratulations, you replaced Leo with a second Mikey, but this time in blue!

Speaking of the replacement Leos, let's go back into the 'hunk' bit. I've never been too into anime boys, I blame it on hyperfixating on superheroes from a young age. Like, get that 'Wolverine the Anime' type of nonsense out of here! (Thankfully someone heard my cries and 'X-Men the Anime' fixed him.) Anyway, that means we start from a hunky boy, then we get downgraded to a twunk and, as if that wasn't enough, next they try to sell me an actual twink.

And that's why being a fan of 03 Leo is actual suffering.

top 5 mbs characters, bc im predictable, and then top 5 persona ...ships? if you don't do a lot of shipping than characters works.

unfortunately i don't actually follow persona all of my knowledge of it is just me voting for whatever you say to in the various polls you reblog (i gotchu homie).

and then just for the sprinkles on top, top 5 favorite birds. they can be specific birds (ie steve the magpie, a local magpie in your area, or big bird) or bird breeds (parrots, a titmouse, lilac breasted roller, etc) up to you. 🎉

or only do one, or two, or all of these! no offense will be taken. im giving OPTIONS

aaaaa thank you!!! for the ask, for the options, and also for supporting my little blorbos in those silly polls 😭

Top 5 MBS Characters:

Kate Wetherall. I. Was. OBSESSED with Kate as a kid. I do prefer her in the books but I love her show incarnation as well!! The weird girl energy, the autism, the ADHD, it's all off the charts. Fav line from book Kate is still "Well of course it's not funny, but what do you want me to do? Cry?" List of sentences that changed my brain chemistry as a child.

Not to be a basic bitch, but Nicholas Benedict. Oh my god, I loved him in the books already -- we love to see a "wise, all-knowing mentor" character with actual personality and limitations -- but the direction the show took his character in was truly inspired. His discussion with Reynie about the white knight in the books is PEAK.

Reynie Muldoon. Understandably, since he's the POV character, he was the one I actually related to most as a kid. I love the "always trying to stay calm" thing he has going on, and how the narrative never punishes him for trying to be kind and genuine and earnest even though so many books and shows nowadays feel the need to equate niceness with naivete.

My funky little Milligan. Yet another character who I loved in the books already and adored seeing more of in the show. I especially love how much more autistic they made this man. "Geez, how 'bout a hello?" "........Hello." / "I'll be back." [vanishes] [reappears] ".......I'm back." King shit. And no matter what incarnation it is, his reunion with Kate will always reduce me to tears. The memory that was so deeply ingrained into his brain that even Curtain couldn't take it from him... was just that memory of his little girl asking him to go to the mill again... AUGH.... 😭

Constance Contraire. Like Kate, I prefer Book!Constance, but I adore the way the show portrayed her as well. First of all, she's hilarious. Second of all, while she's often being irrational, she also can be a voice of reason in some ways, and we love that. Funky little psychic child. And I just ADORE how kindly the book treats her. Even when she's getting on the other characters' nerves in a big way, the book never suggests that she's a detriment to them, that she needs to sit down and shut up, that they would be better off if they ditched her, or any number of other things that a less understanding narrative would be claiming.

Top 5 Persona Ships

Hamugis. Ohhh my god. MFW the overwhelming guilt I feel for having potentially ruined someone's life by sealing Death inside of her as a child slowly transforms into admiration as I meet her again and begin to see her as a strong leader and then love as I begin to discover my own humanity through her. MFW "I don't want you to love someone else... I don't want that, even if that's what would make you happy!!" MFW I touch my robot GF's literal heart and leave an indelible mark on her very being. Also uhh that one post. "I do not understand hookup culture!!! Die in my arms!!!" yeah. Aigis and Kotone for number one love story of all time.

Akimina. Much less canon interaction to go off of with these two but stay with me here. T4T autism4autism. I love Akihiko's earnestness and Minato's bluntness and how they combine to make a relationship that lacks miscommunication while also leaving a lot unsaid because neither is much one for conversation. I like the idea of Akihiko's intense desire to be strong to protect someone playing off of Minato's much more reserved, almost lackadaisical attitude, despite Minato's strength, and I think it would be so interesting to watch them move in opposite directions -- Akihiko learning to cut himself some slack and trust others rather than thinking he has to protect everyone alone, while Minato learns to break out of his shell and actually care about those around him and want to protect them -- while they also, at the same time, are learning almost identical lessons about relying on other people.

Ulamaya. The two girlies of all time. I adore how Ulala's combined jealousy and affection for Maya play off each other and how Ulala is one of the only characters in the game who feels like she's fully seeing Maya as she is -- a human like any other, even if she presents herself as eternally optimistic and strong so that others can lean on her. Their relationship feels so... equal. If that makes sense. Which, as much as I appreciate KatsuMaya, can feel a little lacking in other Maya ships imo, bc it always feels like other characters (ESPECIALLY the masked circle) tend to idolize Maya. And Maya's forgiveness of Ulala's betrayal... what's that one Hozier line... "I'd be the immediate forgiveness in Eurydice." Yeah.

Pegoryu. God I just love how ride-or-die Ryuji is right off the bat. You meet him, have a near-death experience with him, and ten minutes later he's shoveling more food onto your plate insisting that you need to eat more. Even before then, it may be Akira who saves Ryuji from Kamoshida, but it's Ryuji who tackles him away, yells at him to run and save himself, who gives Akira the faith in humanity that the rest of the world had eroded away at that point.

Tie between Saoriham and Kannao. Saori's social link is one of the best parts of Persona 3 straight up, and Kanji and Naoto are just so goddamn cute together.

Honorable mentions: TatsuJun ("I... have nothing to give you in return..."), YukiChie ("Yes, Chie is my prince..."), ShinjiMina ("If the burden of command gets to be too much, just let me know."), KatsuBao ("Idiot... What were you going to do if I pulled the trigger?" "I knew you wouldn't.")

Top 5 Favorite Birds

Orioles!!! I have such fond memories of helping my grandma skewer orange halves and fill jars with grape jelly as a kid to attract the orioles (though I thought they were called oreos for the longest time, lmao)

Robins. We get a ton of them around here and I love seeing them hop around on the sidewalk.

Magpies. Haven't seen one meself but they're such cool birds. If I could have wings I'd want them to be magpie-style.

Crows. Another bird we get a lot of around here, their calls are so Autumncore.

Falcons. They're just cool and I like them. (insert Madge joke here)

[edoro]

character bingo (obligatory ones first)

Belos (could even do present belos vs philip if you wanted aekrmga) Hunter Terra and maybe gus and kikimora?

i already did Belos and my feelings about past Philip are p much the same as my feelings about him currently, so: Hunter! Hunter is the blorbo of all time. he is so traumatized. his molested energy is off the charts. he is so simultaneously cool, competent, and completely pathetic. he was born all alone in a wet cardboard box and raised in a cult. everything bad ever has happened to him. i project onto Hunter like it’s my job. it’s more than a vocation, it’s a sacred calling.

he is genuinely so important to me and one of the best characters i have seen in a cartoon in a long time. the depiction of his trauma is out of this world. he is so autistic. he doesn’t know anything. his backstory is twenty pounds of fucked up in a ten pound bag.

i love him and want only the best for him and am going to put him through ceaseless unspeakable torment in fic because this soothes me <3 sorry Hunter

also i think that basically everybody should date, kiss, and/or have a crush on him.

Terra is the scariest bitch in the entire show and i love her so much. i think Belos might have made her in a lab in order to have someone even close to as horrible as he is around. i support women’s rights but more importantly i support women’s wrongs. 

Gus is so good, i adore him. he really doesn’t get given enough screentime and it’s a shame because he’s so interesting! can definitely relate to the anxious gifted kid thing, and i just love how he’s both a sweet goofy doofus and also a very insightful, caring, observant kid. his dynamic with Willow and Luz is super fun but i am in love with his burgeoning dynamic with Hunter - they make SUCH good bros and have so much in common and i just really love the idea of the two of them getting to know each other and being besties!

also i am fascinated by the glimpse we got into his persistent and serious mental health issues! you know the crazier a character is the more i love them, and this boy involuntarily projects fully immersive self-loathing hallucinations?? Gus, honey, they make medicine for that. why don’t you try an Elixir Of Risperidone and see if you feel better.

Kikimora was also born all alone in a wet cardboard box, and unlike Hunter, she decided to make that everyone else’s problem. she is three foot nothing and full of spite and rage and only wants to bite and kill and i for one think she should be allowed. her blood feud with a literal teenager is so hilarious.

people get like genuinely mad at her for being mean to Hunter and i simply do not understand that. it’s funny as fuck and it’s really interesting to contrast her open malice towards him with the frustrated projection of someone like Lilith or the wounded, defensive apathy of someone like Darius. 

she and Belos should be evil besties. they deserve that. she deserves that. she wants him to carry her around in a handbag like a tiny dog And He Should.

[imissthembutitwasntadisaster]

TVD for the ask game, bc I know you prob want to do it anyway shsjjssj

You know I wasn't actually thinking about tvd! my love for that is constant but unobtrusive now I'm not watching it. But for sure I want to do it NOW! Now that you've said!!!

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

Damon is the ultimate blorbo if you have a different blorbo you're wrong his blorbo energy is off the charts.

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

Ok this isn't one character, this is whenever Bonnie and Damon are being friends in like the later seasons, they are So Shaped together they have such stupid faces and he makes her dump vampire pancakes and she regains her magic solely because she doesn't want him to die they are So Much and for sure my babys together.

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

Loved Caroline from the second she came on screen, was unappreciated by her friends, and said something awkward. People do love her, so she's not really underappreciated, but I think she is because she should be the MOST appreciated.

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

Ok so like this is super obscure but in the final season, there's this dude, Dorian, and Stefan killed his entire family when he was an Evil Vampire and then compelled Dorian to forget. (just realised I don't know how much if any you've seen of this show, but if I'm just Sharing Information You Know skip over my boring explanation). But then the compulsion ended because (spoilers) Stefan became human and so Dorian took him out to an obscure place, had him dig his own grave, and shot him as revenge.

BUT Stefan's bleeding out and Dorian doesn't have to do anything! but he realises he can't just kill someone like that! especially not someone repentant! so he saves Stefan's life, he calls an ambulence, he carries Stefan out of the woods!

This is especially important because earlier in the season a young doctor was used as a test to see if people could be good under a very similar situation, she was compelled to think Damon killed her parents as a drunk driver accidentally, and so she tried to kill him so he would never do the same to anyone else, and because that whole season is about forgiveness it's a major thematic parallel, this doctor was willing to kill a man for accidentally killing someone at a point in the season where it looks like the point of the season is veering towards "people are unsalvageable." But!!! then! we are reminded that there can be forgiveness and growth and redemption! and Dorian represents that!!! It's so important to me! So yes I won't shut up about him.

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

Half the fandom would say Stefan but they're wrong. It's actually Tyler Lockwood do with that what you will (he grows up so much actually and it's very important to me).

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

Elijah because he tricked me when he was first introduced into thinking that he was the best original but he's actually the WORST he's hypocritical.

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

Their MOM WHAT'S HER FACE LILY SALVATORE I HATE HER SO SO SO MUCH SHE'S SUCH A TERRIBLE MOM AND WE'RE MEANT TO BE SYMPATHETIC TOWARDS HER LOATH! DISPISE! HATRED!!!

Fandom Tumblr words ask game

[barkov]

I have to know who your Panthers Blorbos are omg

unrelated but i lost my copy paste of the template for this ask meme because i copy pasted an emoji and... now i have to redo it... takes forever 😭😭😭

OK HERE GOES this is probably the most difficult one yet i love every single one of these men lol

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most): ok this obviously has to be sasha right. i think about him all the time, his voice is the cutest thing in the world and he seems so sweet despite being. massive. i could talk about him for hours he's tied with bergy for favorite NHL player of all time (yeah i know crazy)

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped): BOBBBBBBBBBB oh my god his voice, he's so silly and sweet and humble. again european goalies. his girldad energy is off the charts and the flow? these are obviously the key to his return to form this year. another player i could yell about for hours

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave): HMM. god this ask meme would've been so much easier for the panthers like a year ago because now everyone keeps saying how good they are/can't be underrated anymore. maybe lundell? i think he leads all rookie forwards in 5v5 points now like WHERE is my boy's name in the calder conversation. they've ignored him for too long and it's starting to show up more but mini barky should be at the top of everyone's lists (not biased)

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week): again who can i even call obscure anymore. but i'll say duke because there will NEVER be too much love for duke. i want him to be a forever panther on a line with huby and benny <3 he has the best smile in the league also i took like 15 pictures of him laughing and smiling at the last panthers game i went to.

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave): again idk who qualifies for this this is so difficult omg. like if i were attached to juolevi i'd say him but not quite yet. MAYBE MAMIN? but like he's not problematic. maybe just unpopular idk. but he ALSO seems Super Sweet despite being extra large which i am a fan of or i could say sam bennett for taking a lot of dumb penalties. i love him too

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason): marchment for falling so much/taking this long to be elite. bambi lookin ass. (affectionate)

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell): OK THIS IS PURELY FOR HOCKEY REASONS. BUT GUDAS. SIR. SOMETIMES YOUR PLAY MAKES ME WANT TO RIP OUT MY HAIR. ilu tho just stop getting out of position
