I'm going to start with the positives and then work my way to the negatives.
Positives:
Bo-Katan wasn't fridged and this time maybe Bo can lead Mandalore and Mandalore doesn't get eradicated before the Sequel Trilogy or blown-up.
I am kind of glad the Dark Saber's gone 'cause ever since that duel with Maul the darksaber being passed around has really screwed Mandalore over.
Also to quote Monty Python: "Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony."
Like, yeah Duchess Satine became ruler, she also had a consensus from her people.
3. It was a fun Fury Road type ending with Bo getting Mandalore back and then Din off traveling with Grogu having done his part.
Now for my bugbears:
They didn't mention Satine at all. And kind of found a way to disparage her, as if Satine didn't give Mandalore the planet space and time to heal. Does Favreau have an issue with Satine? Is he like his character Pre Vizsla really not into the idea of Satine and what she represented???
2. We sure didn't see Din's face. What's the point of hiring Pedro Pascal if we can't see Pedro Pascal??? Did filming Last of Us really impact the filming of Mandalorians that much???
3. This episode nerfed the red dudes pretty hard, like I was always lukewarm to them as a concept but to be nerfed like that. The war also was not great, directing wise.
4. Another directing / cinematography vibe. Mistaking blur and out of focus for a big war.
It didn't help I already have an idea what siege of Mandalore looked like. Its not fair to compare but I can't help what's already in my head.
The director didn't help his Mandalorian vs Imperial Super commandos were all done mid-air. It was hard to follow the fight, I didn't have anything to latch on to.
Below is a snippet from Clone Wars where there are jetpacked Mandos vs jetpacked Mandos:
youtube
In a similar event where Bo and her forces have to re-take Mandalore, it helped that the action slowed down and let us see a clearer picture before returning to action.
This episode was messy and jumped around and I'm just... its really hard not to compare the Mando series to the animated series. One thing the animated had was length of time, so that might be unfair but also they told a story in 25 minute chunks.
It was all just so rushed.
Favreau's main writing flaw I've found is how he rushes things and wants to resolve a cliffhanger so fast the tension from the previous episode is basically gone.
#initial reactions#that sure was an episode#i miss animated shows#i do love seeing the expressions of the actors#i'm hoping these are enough tags#star wars#not to get into the tags#star wars spoilers#i don't want to yuck anyone's yum#for safety#1#so i hope this is enough tags#so that this post doesn't get to the tag#2#3#4#5#i just want to tag for my personal archiving#so lets start here#tv: the mandalorians#bo katan kryze#din djarin#grogu#Youtube

You know. Something I really hate about a lot of popular fantasy books, and it's especially prevalent in Romantasy, is what passes for Feminism in them. It's a toothless fake, used as an aesthetic/seasoning. A sprinkle of *strong female character* and a dash of deceptively misogynistic everything else, and for the finishing touch a pinch of man who's slightly better than being openly sexist and Boom. Fantasy series led by a FMC.
Generally, the Female Main character either starts out or becomes incredibly powerful, but always, always, always her power is linked to the men around her. She supposedly has agency and makes her own choices but the choices she makes are between choices provided to her by men. Her male love interest is more powerful in SOME way, and ends up besting her in some way. Experience, training, power, there's always some way the man is better than her. Female characters are never allowed to just BE powerful. Or even just BE single. Often they give up their powers, or are forcibly stripped of them. They look down on other female characters for doing "feminine" work. And, they're stupid as hell to supposedly make them relatable or endearing. Often, the male mc is concerningly abusive but it's portrayed as dreamy, romantic and Ideal. (I genuinely get the love for villains, and enemies to not, and the love for morally grey characters, I genuinely do, but this isn't that, what happens in these books is just genuinely bad (if they actually were people) being portrayed through rose colored glasses) [And in some stories that could be genuinely interesting!] If there's a second Love Interest, he will just do the same awful shit to the MC but it's better now bc it's him.
If the female character isn't white, all of this + a staggering amount of racism. They're rarely MCs. They're fridged for the MCs, they serve the MCs, they're never as beautiful or powerful as the MC, they're stereotyped and portrayed as savage, vapid, comically evil, or just as a good guy with no character at all.
These books are presented as feminist and it pisses me off. Feminism is equality for all, and the fight for Women to be equal and have their own agency. To make their own decisions. Genuinely I believe writers should be able to write whatever they want. I have no issues with having "problematic" stuff in books. My issue is when people start to believe that this shit is feminist, and the author is so skilled and amazing, and it's a masterpiece! Fuck that.
#feminism#romantasy#there are so many books this applies to#fantasy#books#booklr#reading#anyway this was brought on by a friend of my starting Assassin's Blade by SJM#I refuse to say anything about my thoughts to her in case she enjoys it#Ya know like I don't want to yuck in anyone's yum#genuinely I believe writers should write whatever they want and readers should read whatever they want#but I also think people should be aware of things?#And engage with what they read#Tags for proper classification and filtering#Anti-sjm#anti-acotar#anti-throne of glass#anti-fourth wing#anti-crescent city#anti-belladona#anti-Emily Wild's Encyclopaedia of Faeries#Now you might be like Girl you just don't enjoy fantasy or Romantasy then?

I’m here to bother you again!!!
You don’t have to if you don’t want to but maybe dark ship bingo with timjay or brudick????
hELLO i love being bothered by you this is delightful omg thank you, i would love to
Here is JayTim, I can't believe I only got one bingo for them. Ironically I genuinely don't view Jason and Tim as family, even when I'm not shipping them, I think they're tentative allies at best and you can only brother-ify them if you're doing very generously OOC fluff, a la WFA-style. They're absolutely toxic and codependent on each other's existence, Tim wouldn't exist without Jason and Jason is Undeniably Weird about Tim, but not brothers so I can't check off the familial squares. Also, I have no idea if I've been blocked by 10+ people, but it'd be funny if I am. And funnily enough, I don't think Tim or Jason are vanilla in any capacity even when they're not fucking. Especially not Tim, that boy is Certified Weird.
and ofc BruDick I nearly blacked out the whole board because they absolutely are weird and unwell. Some of these only apply to certain AUs of BruDick (like an idea I have rattling in my skull rn with Talon!Dick) but most of it applies to them all the time. I really need to write some fucked up BruDick, it's tragic I haven't yet. Right now the two fics I'm working on are a weird JayDick and a more fluffy DamiDick, but I have Plans™ for BruDick too. They are the OG and deserve their flowers for being the most toxic mess you've ever seen.
#necrotic answerings#batcest#jaytim#brudick#i loved this so dearly ty your asks mean everything to me <3#so do your tags on my posts you reblog i love your thoughts you Get It™#when i say timjay isn't brotherly i am mostly referencing pre-flashpoint but i don't think they're familial in the new-52 or rebirth either#i haven't read a *ton* of rebirth but knight terrors: robin was *not* brotherly and idk why ppl try to read it like that#shipping brain aside i think they can like each other in canon. get along be friends. if dc actually tried to put work into developing that#but it's not brotherly. they may both view dick as a brother. but that axis point doesn't make *them* siblings and I'll die on that hill#brudick is far more complciated because they're father/son/brothers/mentor/mentee/rivals/friends all at once#it entirely depends the comic#but i don't enjoy them as a nuclear father/son either and i think making their relationship that destroys nuance#*especially* if we're talking early pre-flashpoint or pre-crisis#it's not devoid of fatherly love but it's not defined by fatherly love either#they're complicated little guys who are barely on speaking terms half the time <3#you can tell when i get passionate about something bc my typing style changes entirely.#talking about myself? no capitals bc i'm boring as the hate anon put#talking about the ships? all uppercase and proper grammar. we must be Professionals™#anyway i loved doing this it made me rlly Think about what dynamics i like about both ships this was delightful#of all the batcest ships i think jaytim and brudick get the trophies for Most Unwell#and damitim can clock in at third#i don't yuck anyone's yum who wants to domesticate jaytim or brudick the fluffy fics can be cute and power to you#but it's not how i fundamentally ship them and i don't have interest in writing them clean or healthy

UGGGGH I thought I would get used to Phone Guy being named fucking Ralph, but I just CAN'T!
Like, as soon as I think "hey I'm warming up to the name Ralph for Phone Guy". I remember that's THE CANON NAME for the character and I go into an unquienchable rage!
I don't even hate the name "Ralph", that's the name of my psychitrist. I just hate that it's the CANON NAME FOR THE CHARACTER.
You know, the character that was practically FOUNDED on fanon for almost a decade! The character that honestly would honestly be better WITHOUT canon material because of much the FAN COMMUNITY made with him?! THAT FUCKING CHARACTER!?
Like with Vanny, I didn't LIKE what canon did with the character but I could live with it because like, the fanon versions lasted only 1-2 years at most. Plus with the leaks, we practically KNEW that Vanessa and Vanny were the same person, like it was obvious.
But 10 YEARS! Sine the begginning. Without ANY REAL WARNING!? NOW YOU FINALLY GIVE US CANON MATERIAL? Bogus man!
This is the last time I'm going to talk about this, I don't like perpetuating the stereotype of Autistic people not being able to change, but these are my feelings.
You can't just have a character be around for 10 years and just NOW give us canon information.
#I know#I sound really entitled and shit#But I don't care#You can't just now give us information about a character who was basically irrelevant for 10 years#especially when the fandom basically did your job for you#whatever#this is the last time I'm going to talke about this again because I know I am being annoying and entitled#plus I don't want to ruin my mental health over FUCKING FNAF#but yeah#that's my rant#rant#vent#fnaf#five nights at freddy's#phone guy#phone guy fnaf#fnaf phone guy#not tagging TWB or Ralph or whatever because I know people genuinely like the book and the character#And I don't wanna yuck anyone's yum too much#I just prefer fanon phone guy and I have strong feelings#nyanbles

in theory, there is nothing wrong with omega Sanji. There's deff fertile ground to make a really interesting story, but I think what turns me off about it is that due to Sanji's character design, I know ppl are gonna twink-ify and infantilize him.
I don't trust the a/b/o fan base to not hit Sanji with the yaoi beam and make him unrecognizable. Sanji is a rude salty sea dog, please don't make him a generic yaoi twink it kills my soul
#one piece#vinsmoke sanji#omegaverse#a/b/o#i dont want to yuck anyone's yums#but i like my omegas buff and hairy#and if you can't let omega sanji stay hairy then u don't deserve him

hi hi ner!! how about 2, 14, and 15 for the ask game? :o
Ty for the asks Ian!
2. What art would you want on a sticker/shirt/other physical object of your choice? (link to it or make a tag for it)
I’ve got some fanart pieces coming in the mail (presumably, tho I’m starting to question them not showing up in the tracking) that I’ll be sharing once they arrive.
I’d also love to have something in the style of Alvar Gullichsen’s works in my walls - or tbh I could just paint a whole wall in something similar. I saw an exhibition of his at some point and would’ve loved to buy a print, but alas, they didn’t have any interesting ones.
14. Best fanfic tropes ever?
Aaaa how am I supposed to choose even.
I mean, pining, especially mutual. And proper slow burn, always good to see.
I am also quite fond of a whole strangers to acquaintances / friends to lovers arc.
Yes I kinda just want my fluffy romance (eventually). Like you can have your drama along the way but I'm a sap who loves her happy endings.
Also there’s some filthy smut tropes that are just a delight but uhh maybe I won’t go too deep into those rn.
15. Worst fanfic tropes ever?
Anything involving children as the happily ever after in a reader insert tends to just put me off (for personal reasons).
Also super convoluted misunderstandings where they just keep on just missing the crucial part of what someone said and it just goes on and on. Just, not my thing when it goes on beyond belief (as you can imagine, I have a great time with sitcoms 🙃). Like, of course it can be done well, but sometimes it just feels like it's stretched too far. And there’s other ways to have misunderstandings and drama between characters without just relying on characters for some reason not saying what would be quite obvious to express.
I'm also not very fond of workplace settings / AUs or certain kinds of power imbalances (like boss/employee or teacher/student, like I totally get that it has appeal but it's just not for me).
(You can find the full list of these questions here.)
#ner talks#chatting with folks#scint1llat3#I don't want to be yucking anyone's yum but those are some of the things that just are not for my personal liking#like I can absolutely be fond of power dynamics for example (just uhh look at some of my smut)#but I guess I don't want it to feel too “real”?#also gullichsen's works are pretty large in person and I just really enjoyed the illusion of the 3D space created by them#like I could feel myself getting sucked in there almost#if we didn't live in a rental (and if I had money) I very much would consider getting something similar on our walls

I don’t read a lot fic so I’m simultaneously living in an ignorant lalaland but also wanting more and afraid to venture into wild territory for fear of repeatedly encountering the Joel you mentioned. If even someone like me has noticed it, then it’s truly pervasive. I like to think I do a decent job of separating the character from their dominant trope/au/fanon but it gets hard <insert Oscar Isaac coffee gif>
I'm kind of in the same boat! I'm not reading that much these days (and when my brain is ready to I have a looong to-read list for other characters!) but I like to scroll through the fandom tag and skim the summaries. I'm sure there IS some great, thoughtful, in-character fic out there but I rarely see anything that draws me in. I've actually literally just added a tag filter for his name so I can stop looking in the first place because I find it so dispiriting and confusing 😕
#i hate to even say this stuff out loud because i truly don't want to yuck anyone else's yum or whatever the saying is#it feels shitty to become self-conscious about what you want to write and i don't want to make anyone feel bad#AND i know that my own fics are often not that in-character#i really don't believe that being perfectly in-character is the most important thing#but at the same time i just am so....#confused by the predominant themes and tropes and how much they do not align with my vision of this character#a deeply sad broken hollowed out tired man#who probably barely finds it in him to regularly fuck his long term partner#(not that she is ever acknowledged either 🙃🙃🙃)#much less someone younger than his dead daughter#like where did that.... come from#sorry if this makes me an asshole!!!! oh well#anonymous#ask#and i am purposely not using full names or tags lol bc i'm just saying my thing to my followers not trying to start a whole conversation 😬

This is a Trigger Warning for anyone wanting to read Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon.
In the first chapter of this book there is a very graphic rape scene... Idk exactly how long it was because I was listening to the audiobook and ended up completely frozen and wasn't in my body anymore until it was over.
I decided to give this book a try because it was all over booktok and everyone said it was amazing... Not one person gave a warning for what I perceived as a violent and exceptionally long sexual assault so I'm giving one.
Don't get me wrong, I read a lot of spicy books and fanfiction and I'd like to see what the rest of this book is like but I'm too scared to run into another scene like that so if anyone who has read it could tell me if there are anymore dubcon or noncon scenes in it, I'd really appreciate it.
#tw: rape#tw:sexual assault#Ice Planet Barbarians#Ruby Dixon#spicy books#I don't want to yuck anyones yum I just want to be warned#and possibly have the chance to avoid it

Can I ask why you dislike the r w r b film so much? Thanks!
It took all the teeth out of an already pretty soft book. But fuck Alex's undiagnosed ADHD and his complicated relationship with his parents after the divorce, right? Henry's significant depression can also fuck off, he's just a bit weepy. Fuck June, who needs her? While we're at it fuck Bea's addiction issues, painful recovery, and public humiliation? She just needs to be a pretty face for Henry to emote at, we should take away her love of music and her leather jackets and boots and just make her the most boring woman you've ever seen. Fuck Catherine too, she doesn't need to have any impact on Henry's life. Also, while we're at it, fuck Nora. Why should she get to be cool and bi and wild? She's just there to couple off with Pez.
That's not even getting me STARTED on cutting out Luna but trying to keep the back half of the plot intact. Honestly if you just wanted a simple soppy romance with sex scenes there are MANY other worse books to cast someone 15 years older than that lead character in. Said lead who is so fucking interesting in the book but just exists to be a dickhead in the film.
That's as much detail as I could manage while walking Sam, further rants are cut off by my need to cuddle my tiny dog.
#i don't want to yuck anyone's yum i just really truly love the book and the film fills me with rage

Right, backup plan then. Rambling to the void as I muse about reader inserts i wanna prop up
When the brainworms hit, by god do they wriggle and writhe
Fandoms:
Current Brainrot: - good god CoD MW2 has it's hooks in me right now
Constant Backburner: - Darksiders - Dark Souls/Bloodborne/Elden Ring - Various FF titles more tbd as I remember ‘em got the memory of a peeled grape tbqfh
What I'm About:
Send me asks if you want little drabbles about: - Fat Readers by Fat People - Monstrous men - Reader Inserts of Dubious Gender - Neurodivergent Readers of various flavors - Ace & Demi Readers (not exclusively this! But I usually see far more romo than platonic)
Will do: I ABSOLUTELY can: - 18+ content - Monster fucking(/loving/dating/smoochin) - Ambiguously gendered reader - Nurturing as hell [my kink is loving and supporting my partner - bonus points if said partner is unhinged]
I can probably: - Dark shit, I'll give anything a shot once but I don't have a long list of specifics
Won’t do: [-Kinktomato here-] - Scat, watersports, etc - Feeder/Feedee
#rambles from the morgue#yes my blog name is a pun on my name#tumblr i am editing this post after initially posting it please don't put this shit in peoples searches/tags#i do not want to yuck anyone's yum it's just not my speed#ykinmkatok and all that

For the recent BL ask game: 3, 13, 23
3. favorite main character
I love so many main characters so I'm going to go with a main character for a show that's currently airing. I gotta go with Tinn from My School President. He's just great. And MSP is exactly what I need right now. It's so much softer than I was expecting it to be and Tinn is a very large part of that. Also every time he flailed around on his bed after talking to Gun, I died a little.
13. bl you think is overrated
Most people are not going to like my answer to this question, and I have my reasons, but I'm just gonna say I think KinnPorsche is overrated and leave it at that.
23. favorite actor pairing
I don't really pay attention to actor pairings all that much because I'd rather see actors branch out and work with new people. I also don't know actors. I really pay almost no attention to actors so if I know an actors name, especially without looking it up on MDL first, it's a miracle. That said, I do like Gemini and Fourth (yes I did have to look up their names). I think they're doing a great job in MSP and they're already hitting it out of the park in Moonlight Chicken.
BL Ask Game
