#i don’t get the hype

[mal-lay]

It’s very confusing to me whenever Francis Mosses simps draw him the opposite of who he is and remove his hooked nose, make him pale, buff, and/or make him look like an anime boy.

Like I thought y’all loved him with his real appearance? 💀

Like I get people are in relationships but I find the matching profile pictures a little much. Like yeh I get your all lovey dovey but it’s a bit much. I might be aromantic and that’s why I don’t get it

Bored and want to interact with people on a rainy day.

Name some characters you don’t get the hype for. Like everyone and their mom loves this character and you just don’t get it. Not to be confused with characters you just dislike or don’t like that much.

For me it’s gotta be Uncle Iroh from ATLA like I don’t understand why everyone is so obsessed with him. People act like he’s the best character ever written and I don’t get it. He’s cool and all but meh. Also I stand by my thought that Appa’s Lost Days was sadder than his mini story.

Another Shinsho from MHA. My dude was in like two episodes three? Why did people love him so much. I’m neutral but I don’t understand why everyone and their mom hyped him up so much. My dude did all the complaining about not being hero and seems to have like no body strength like sir be for real?

Oh and Zeke/Noah/Izzy/Eva that whole group from TDI. I don’t get it will never get it don’t wanna get it. Meh and neutral on em too but I don’t get why they’re so popular/beloved. Noah was pretty funny later seasons maybe I should remove him but yeah

Derek Hale from Teen Wolf one of the few that teeters close to dislike for me. Actually the more I think on it the more I dislike him so no comment

Remus Lupin. I’m sorry I just don’t get the hype. Sirius ok godfather I guess he’s whatever but Remus why. My dude didn’t do much of anything besides teach that one year. Like nothing else and all he does is whine about being a werewolf which yeah it sucks but dude it’s been 30 plus years by now. You think you’d have figured something out.

If you like any of these you crazy jk all power to you cause you probably hate my faves too lmao

The worst part is that he kept saying I’ll see you soon and Ik he’s going to embarrass himself during this “break”

he’s been embarrassing himself, that won’t change

Told my mom that she unknowingly have a Stanley cup. She totally forgot she had one as a gift from long time and thought I was talking about hockey Stanley cup lol 😆 so im not the only one. 🏒

[spadesnoir]

No, I don’t think I will

[nothingsafex]

I’ve been really trying to get myself to like Colleen Hoover but I can’t. I don’t get the hype of her books.

Every book has the same plot…(yes even verity). Girl with a horrible past falls for a guy with a horrible past and the relationship is abusive and toxic.

The characters are so dry and have no development. The writing is like something I read on wattpad back in the day. The spicy parts are badly written and so unrealistic

I’m kinda sad that I don’t get her hype because everyone loves her books and I want to relate.

Awhile ago I redid/edited this piece so I could make prints. Thought I’d post the updated version to celebrate the release of the Book of Bill.

[sangric]

where’s that mute button

[inafieldofstarflowers]

Junior year promo really said “it’ll be a fun time” as though friendship and financial and academic struggles aren’t a million times more soul-crushing than fantasy adventure hijinks

[crystallizsch]

boo.

I'LL PASS AWAY NOW GOODBYE

reading everyone’s thoughts on the london special and marinette’s actions have given me a serious case of deja vu in relation to the s5 finale, here’s why

a very very VERY common reaction from the fandom i saw to the finale was “why are the writers letting gabriel get away with being a hero why isn’t he being held accountable horrible finale horrible writing i hate this show etc etc etc”

before i share my thoughts on this for like the thousandth time i just wanna mention i DID cry during the finale, partly because i was in shock and also because i HATED it. but now i genuinely believe it was one of if not the smartest thing the ml writers have ever conjured up and i just. fucking love it. (point is: i understand disliking it. that was me at some point, until i began to consider the implications of the “ending”)

similarly, a reaction i’ve seen to the london special (mainly from ml salters) is “why would the writers let marinette lie to the world when it’s so clearly morally wrong she’s such a horrible person she needs to be held accountable blah blah blah”

something both the s5 finale and the london special share is that THE ACTIONS THAT TAKE PLACE IN BOTH. ARE NOT MEANT. TO SIT WELL WITH THE AUDIENCE

NO writer on ml is trying to convince a fan that “gabriel was actually a hero because he made one selfless decision (that wasn’t even that selfless?????)”. NO writer on ml is trying to convince a fan that “marinette is completely right for hiding the truth about gabriel from not only adrien but also the whole world!!!!!! no one should ever find out!!!”

the entire point of the finale and special is to make the viewer uncomfortable, as we watch marinette sit with her questionable choices, watch adrien refer to his father as a hero and watch their class throw a party. none of this is supposed to make us feel at peace with the way this arc has concluded.

what people seem to be missing is that even if the s1-s5 arc has ended, the s6 arc is just beginning, CENTERED AROUND THE CHOICES THAT HAVE MADE US AS THE AUDIENCE FEEL SO UNCOMFORTABLE!! you’re completely ignoring the way the plot is set up if you think the writers are going to neglect gabriel’s storyline, because it is far from over.

i think it’s also important to mention that neither marinette nor adrien are at peace with what’s happened (even if that was implied during the s5 finale—the london special has provided us with this new information on their emotional statuses). marinette is clearly being eaten alive by guilt, seeking confirmation throughout the entire special that protecting adrien from the truth was the morally correct decision. adrien was obviously affected by his father’s death (contrasting the idea that he just “threw a party” without any emotional backlash), and will undoubtedly learn to grapple with his conflicting feelings on gabriel’s character throughout s6 (he sacrificed himself??? but he abused me??? but he saved ladybug and nathalie????? but he apparently assisted monarch?????)

POINT IS

no one is meant to be satisfied with the way things are in the miraculous universe at the moment. you aren’t supposed to want the truth about what really went down during recreation to stay hidden. if you feel uncomfortable with the current situation our main characters are in, GOOD! please stop the discrediting the writers, because your discomfort means they have done their job well.

How do you sleep at night? No one to hide behind Betrayed every alibi you had You had every chance to make amends instead you got drunk on bitterness And you still claim that you're innocent, it's sad
