Morning on the path to Liyue Harbor - A study with original additions

something i really appreciate about the silt verses finale is that carson being unwritten from the narrative didn't change anything on a wider scale. because of course it didn't. he admitted it himself; he's just one guy in an entire system of abuses and cruelty and people fighting to be the one calling the shots. cutting off a few more heads will only free up more spaces for new ones to grow and trample one another in the bid for power. which makes how he dies all the more impactful in spite of how narratively and personally "unsatisfying" it is - despite the utter denial of catharsis - for both his and VAL's character arcs. because in the end, they both realised the truth, and were able to accept it with dignity.

Cool awesome reminder that you don’t need amazing technical skill to be a good artist/storyteller

“something must have warped you when you were little” but i feel like the more interesting option (and this is what i think is probably canon) would be if nothing super huge and traumatizing happened to misty as a child. it would make sense, of course, for a character like her to have been abused or something similar, but it would be infinitely more interesting if she was always Like This to some degree. of course she was canonically bullied and excluded, and i believe she was probably neglected/ignored/whatever by her parents (or else they probably would’ve done something about her being Like This), but that Something that makes her Like This has always been present. we’ll never know what is wrong with her, and neither will she, but it’s inherent and it will never go away. it’s scarier and more tragic to think that the Something that has marked you as different, isolated you, and meant you will be perceived as evil and broken for your whole life was always part of you. it’s not something that can be cured or even explained. it’s you. there was never any hope.

okay i didnt really understand the whole thing about "well this character would be less hated if she were a man" until i was literally talking to a friend not even 5 minutes ago and they were talking about blaze the cat from Sonic The Hedgehog(2006) (or sonic rush is i think the first game she appeared in... i cant remember), and how they didnt like her, the way she died wasnt meaningful and it had little impact to them, and how silver dying wouldve made the story better(also in general just bashing different female characters in sth? like cuz tehy were women or the way they interacted with the male characters or smth)

and like it shocked me people hate sally acorn because she was simply WITH sonic?? or how blaze could be disliked because she DIED?? TO SAVE THE PLANET??? or how someone disliked tangle because shes too "friendly" or smth

i havent watched the 06 movie in a hot minute, i havent read IDW or archie all the way through yet. i havent watched sat am in over 5 years. but bro theres no way these girls are that bad you have to bash them for being written a certain way. writers can SUCK. i know that, ive KNOWN that. but can a character seriously be written so painfully bad that you hate them so much you want them dead..? especially in sonic.

but like also, if ANY of these women were men, theyd be hailed like king or smth... it just confuses me

Anyway I wish this show was actually bold enough to give Miguel an arc exploring his feelings of entitlement over the captaincy spot. Throughout the show Johnny has repeatedly told Miguel that Robby is a lost cause but hey, It’s okay because he has Miguel now. That Miguel’s his champion, his Number One Boy. So how could Miguel not feel at least somewhat entitled to the captain spot? How could he not feel insecure about his place in Johnny’s life with Robby not just back in the picture, but now literally taking the number one spot? When Johnny has repeatedly put into both kids heads that when it comes to his love and attention its one vs. the other, how could there be no lingering feelings of resentment and jealousy?

i understand that the site full of hyperfixating internet users who are exhausted grad students/doctorates by day is not the most effective audience to help me with this, but there is a horrible little devil on my shoulder who keeps whispering "psssst you could write an academic thesis on this" about my current interests and i need to kill it with fire

honestly while watching the untamed, i was thinking that the censorship didn't really bother me all that much, like sure they changed a few lines moved some things around, but they also added scenes so the trade-off really seemed worth it.

i am now realising that i felt that way just because for 80% of mdzs there wasn't that much to censor, playing with the wording was all they needed to do to meet the requirements. i have now reached that last 20% and the full weight of what the censorship robbed from us is starting to sink in.

what do you mean we don't see lan zhan cradling a delirious wei ying before fighting his own clan elders to defend him. idc if you multiplied the number of lashes he received by 10 it is so much less impactful when it's su she and jin guangyao who are the agitators also i don't understand what the timeline is supposed to be is this after wy is already dead?? how is he so composed??? i have so many issues with this and they would all be resolved if they kept the scene from the novels why couldn't that have been part of their "bromance" too???

Just finished reading the wicked book

I see so many people saying that elphaba is a very inspiring character and that shes relatable to a lot of people, that her story is very important, that her story matters. And although its mostly said through the filter of the movie i think its even more important in context of the book. Elphaba being convinced that she never accomplished anything, that everything she tried to do she failed at. And yet so many people consider her inspiring. I havent yet watched the musical, i dont know how it changes the book (probably a lot) but i too think if elphaba as inspiring despite it all. Because she tried.
