#i havent watched the 3rd season yet

[shit-talker]

Wilhelm, being the only character in the show to break the fourth wall, is really important to me because I take it as a sign that he's the one telling this story. It's his story, and he's aware, and allowing us to veiw it. It's a very large juxtaposition to the actual story, where we see his boundaries being repeatedly broken, and one of his main struggles is the fact that he can not handle the stress of being known as Crown Prince and being perceived. For the first two seasons, especially the first season, any time Wille breaks the fourth wall It's almost calling us as an audience out. It's like we're looking at something we shouldn't, because every time Wille looks so disaprooving, but that last 4th wall break at the end, he finally smiles at us, finally accepts sharing this part of him now that he isn't tied down by these obligations of being Crown Prince.

[thehyperfixationspeedrunner]

HIIIIIIIIIII WE HAVENT TALKED IN A WHILE HRU

WHICH HYPERFIXATION ARE YOU ON NOW HUH 👀

AND WOULD YOU REC?

HIIIIIII, I FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL YESTERDAY AND I'M IN EXAMS SEASON SO I'M NOT DOING GREAT, HRU???

Girl, you just opened a big bag of worms cause this hyperfixation has taken over the other like 4 that were in my mind at the same time (one of them since January).

There are just a few things I have to warn you about the show before I throw my words at you: there is blood and violence, they do not shy from that; there is physical abuse mentioned and shown (although it's just shown in one scene, if that's the only thing bothering you but you wanna watch I can tell you when to skip); there is cursing, nothing major just what a high schooler would normally curse; abusive relationships and bullies are subjects that are heavily spoken about; death, don't know if that's a trigger but better safe that sorry and I'm pretty sure that's it

First, I have to ask you two questions:

Do you like supernatural stuff?

Do you like gays?

If the answer to both of them is yes, then you need to watch dead boy detectives. It's a series about two ghosts (Edwin Payne- "the brains", spent 70 years in hell, sassy little bitch, from London 1916 and speaks like it, gay, a fucking nerd, somehow everyone is in love with him except his crush (more like the crush doesn't know that he is in love with him, but whatever), so much trauma it's insane, tumblr's favourite; Charles Rowland- said crush, "the brawns", so bisexual but doesn't know it yet, do you know that character that is so charismatic and funny but actually has so much fucking trauma? That's him, daddy issues (because of abuse), from 1989, has a magical bag, so fucking british, so fucking protective of his friends it's insaneee like he will kill someone for them) and these two ghosts are detectives and solve cases to ghosts so they can move on to the afterlife.

This show is so fucking well written, you have no idea, like Charles and Edwin's relationship is so unique, because even though there is a romantic subtext they are best friends before eveything and they know eachother so well it's so rare to see such good friendship where they are so open with eachother in media specially between men (also their ship name is painland, if that's not enough reason to watch the show idk what is).

Another great example of the amazing writing is that characters like Charles normally have their trauma super overlooked, but in this show his trauma is treated so well, there is still a lot to work from it (reason 484837 why I need a season 2) but the other characters actually see his trauma and acknowledge it, it's so fucking satisfying to me because these type of characters are always my favourites but they always have that lack of development (I sometimes confuse between my mutuals who likes what but I'm pretty sure you have read hoo so you know Leo Valdez? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about).

Speaking of development, they do not leave characters behind. There is this character called Niko Sasaki, who is this girl who loves anime and loves love and is always so positive and so sweet and always thinking of others. Now, when someone describes this type of character, my first reaction is "oh, so she's just the comedic relief who is going to have a shallow ass personality" (no shade to that type of characters, shade to the writers who leave them behind), BUT SHE'S NOT. She also has her traumas (dead dad, literally almost dies, more shit that I don't wanna spoil) and they acknowledge it and they develop her. She may not be one of the main focuses of season 1 (I'm pretty sure if we get a season 2, she's gonna have more screen time because of... [spoilers]) but she still has some character development, in the 3rd episode they are solving a pretty brutal case and she says that she doesn't want to be part of it because she litterally almost died the previous week and it's totally okay, she stays at home watching scooby doo and eating noodles, again so fucking satisfying.

Since we're talking about Niko, I have to talk about the dynamics of this show because OMG THE DYNAMICS OF THIS SHOW. Like, you look at the way I described Niko and the way I described the boys and you would think that they would focus on Niko and Charles relationship, right? The two charismatic kids, makes sense. Wrong, it's actually Niko and Edwin's. At first, you're like "you're gonna pair Mr. Horrible at relationships with other people and hates physical touch with Ms. Loves love and hugs fucking everyone?" BUY IT WORKS, IT WORKS SO GODDAMN WELL, IT'S INSANE, they easily became my favourite dynamic of all times, it's so fucking good. Actually, Charles and Niko is the only dynamic that isn't really developed in this show (which is a crime honestly, how could they).

Another thing is that there is one (1) antagonist out of four who isn't likeable. And that fucker is litterally Crystal's abusive demon ex (I've realised now that I haven't talked about my queen yet, she's a bitch, she's a physic, she's fucking badass, she doesn't know who she is until the 8th episode (not in a philosophical way, she litterally loses her memory) and her dynamic with Edwin is fucking hilarious, it's an on going competion of who gets to be the bitcher). There is a witch who is immortal, kidnaps young girls to feed to her snake and has an obsession with getting revenge on the boys and Crystal (they hadn't met Niko when they confronted her for the first time), but she serves cunt everytime she's on screen and she's so hilarious, you love to hate her and deep down you also love her. There is a cat king who is the reason Crystal, Edwin and Charles get stuck in the town they spend the season (they live in London, the town is somewhere on the US coast, technically it's just Edwin who is stuck, but they're all ride or die) all because he wants to fuck Edwin but Edwin doesn't, but his hilarious and annoying in a funny way and a loser and a simp. There is a woman from the afterlife office who spends the whole season trying to catch the boys (who are running away from death, it's a whole thing), fails and ends up stuck with them, I just got mad at her when she interrupted a love confession, but we got it later so it's fine. Then there's David the demon (yes, that's his name, yes, that's hilarious) who is Crystal's abusive ex, is able to get inside her mind whenever he wants and is just so fucking annoying (but is such a great simbol of abusive relationships and how much they scare you even after it's over).

Also, no one, and I mean no one, in this fucking show is straight, whether it is confirmed or not it doesn't matter (although 4 of the nine recurent characters are canonically queer).

Don't know if you heard about it, but this is from the same universe as the show The Sandman and there are two cameos in this show (both Death and Despair get a scene).

There are two things that weren't perfect in this show: the fact that Charles and Niko got one (1) scene together (fucking crime) and the CGI, not that it's all bad it's just they focused on the more visual scenes that make you go uuhh and aaahhh but there is a roof where they sometimes talk where the CGI is so bad, but it's just background shit, do not decide not to watch because of it the only scenes like that are the roof scenes and a scene in the forest (again, background shit).

I did just spend around an hour writing all of this, you are not gonna read this whole ass essay, but just watch the show, it's on illegal sites Netflix (although if you have Netflix, put it, even if it's just background noise, we need the views, this is Netflix and a not that cheap queer show we're talking about)

alright guys. i have more miraculous-ish content. 3rd pic is felix, marinette, kagami, and nathaniel from left to right. I haven't done a nino yet, but he'll be there when I post a finalized version I swear. Also, either Juleka or Rose, though I havent decided on which.

SO. bit of context before i yap under a cut. this is a co-op work (and potential series of fics) with @frickifiknow and so I only have half of the cast to design; hence no adrien, alya, or chloe in my lineup. they will be yapped about, and perhaps drawn by me, but maybe dont hold your breath. ALso, this is a rewrite, inspired more by the fandom than the actual show (though I am passively re-watching it currently, so we'll see) and will kindof sortof overhaul the entire premise. but that all goes under a cut, so i will see you all there.

alright SO. hi folks. miss me? Miss my rambles? no? your loss, because my yapping is immaculate.

Starting with the world!

There are 12 kwami in total- i love the Chinese zodiac for the show, but I personally don't want that many characters to be active. This will feature a main cast of my personal favorite characters from when I watched this show, and not much else because this is for personal pleasure, not objective quality. Each kwami has a pair, which corresponds to a unifying concept. These arent wholly ironed out yet, but they go: existence, defense, time, devotion, guidance, and experience. more about them and their kwamis to come.

this runs on a multiverse that the kwami of broken worlds can and do break. the idea is that after hawkmoth, the miraculous holders face the breaking of whatever has held the "antikwami" at bay this long, and have to gain higher power to defeat themselves and protect their world, thus allowing us to move on from gabriel agreste as a villain long before season five. The antikwami can only exist in this timeline separate from their counterparts because they are currently fulfilling a separate role; they would (and have) sort of merge into the kwami of this world if "redeemed". The kwami chose to be bound to the miraculous and to human holders in ancient times, as doing so managed to weaken their antitheses as they entered this timeline due to the natural balancing of, like, natural law. what is must be undone, or whatever. The antikwami tend to also pick "holders" of a sort, but it's... a worse process, overall. They cloud one's judgement, enhance all their worst traits, the works. more to come on them, i haven't ironed out all the cracks just yet.

All of my designs hinge on being relatively young versions of the characters, as you tend to get more power as you get older, and as you gain experience with the miraculous. Early on, any animal parts will be stuck onto clothing, with ear and horn details coming from masks and tails being attached to belts and capes. later, more high-powered designs will look grander and feature more naturalistic inclusions from the animal (including functional wings for ladybug, possibly) as the holders grow closer to their kwami.

It's 2am, I have school in the morning, and I gotta go. Thanks for reading, or not, reblogs > likes, like and subscribe or something, gn

Indie Saturday: HFJ ONE review

Heyo!

Perhaps i can ramble about Indie cartoons and comics every Saturday? (Or rather- any Saturday i remember)

I decided to start it with the fantastic show ONE, by Cheesyhfj. It is an Object show, but giving it a bit of a phycological thriller spin to it. Making it really unique in my eyes.

Now, in case you're unfamiliar with object shows: they are independently created animated webshows with object characters, that typically compete to achieve a prize, inspired by the one that started it all Bfdi (which was inspired by Total drama island!)

What makes ONE special is The mystery of it. Every episode becomes more insane and creepy than the last. Questions fill the mind without end. The artstyle is also unique, with desaturated colours which exentuate the eeriness of the show all in all. Over all, i HIGHLY recommend watching.

If you haven't watched the show, don't carry on reading. It's a show you best shouldn't get spoiled.

Link to the series here: ONE

first season consisting of the contest on the plain and the second taking place "in the real world" is genius. Its truly really brilliant. As it keeps the story consistant yet simultaneously different all the time!

Sadly i feel a whole 3rd season is missing. I remember watching the last episode as it came out and thinking "wow that was a great episode! Cant wait to find out what happens next!" Just to be distraught at the fact that... That was the end! I could not have that. So many of my answers were left unanswered! As much as i adore the show and recommend anyone to watch it, that didn't feel like an end at all. Ive heard people call it an open end, but. I don't see it as such. An open end still answers at least half of the questions one has right?Does Liam make it out?? Does he find out how to save Amelia? And the rest of the gang? What was Stone's ordeal? How does he know all the answers? And why was he so so scared for liam before getting disqualified? Why DID Stone give Liam those papers that literally allowed the entire second season to happen? What was up with that? Why? Why was he so frightened? What were the other outcomes?? So many questions! And no answers!

To be fair, I havent watched the ONE Investigations videos that Cheesy has been uploading yet. Ill give my views when i do so! ;) Other than the abrupt ending though, I absolutely love this series. From the storytelling, to the characters and their designs, to the music and everything. Its really brilliant. Its a fantastic story. Theres something that meshes so well with the simplistic animation and the story being told. I love it.

me again i also havent actually watched limited life? ive watched like a few very specific minutes in 2 impulse episodes so im not sure if it actually goes along with your logic at all i might watch limited life and get back to you but like skizz wishes for ties to make it to top 3 before he dies and then once impulse gets into the top 3 hes killed by the winner . do you think it would apply there also in impulses episode finale there his life flashes before his eyes and the last thing he thinks of is the ties makes it to top 3 thing thats not related to this it just injured me horribly

I mean, that does make sense...Although I think that Impulse's curse usually manifests earlier in the season than the second to last session. Like his Third Life "everyone's ally, no-ones friend" thing was early on, his involvement with the wither skulls in Last Life was early on, his homewrecking with Bdubs in Double Life was early on and the Secret Tasks in Secret Life were early on.

But if you instead point to Impulse's purpose as being to serve TIES...then we start getting somewhere. Cuz Impulse's entire Limited Life run is (if I remember right) very TIES-centric. He gets villagers for TIES, he helps his fellow TIES members get kills, and he resists the urge to kill or claim a kill on TIES when he was boogey. And the last order from TIES leader, aka Skizz, is the TIES top 3 comment. And then Impulse dies when there are no more TIES members to help and no more TIES orders to follow. Etho, the last member outside of Impulse, dies, and Impulse gets top 3.

Something interesting though is that you'd think Impulse would GET 3rd if his curse was followed to a T. But he gets 2nd. Now this would be kind of a hole in the theory if it wasn't for the fact that Scott is there. The guy who defies fate, who refuses to play along. And it is only because of Scott that Impulse doesn't die 3rd. Scott spared Impulse at the last second by offering an honorable duel between the three of them after he had kicked Impulse's face into the dirt like 3 times in a row. If he didn't, Impulse would have certainly died 3rd.

But in the end, Impulse had completed his purpose. He was doomed to simply be another prop to kill in Martyns story the second that Etho and Pearl died. And, tragically (or comically depending on how you look at it) Scott's act of mercy/refusal to play along simply lead to Impulse being betrayed yet again. Even when it should be impossible, Impulse just cannot stop being betrayed. Guy really got that "Do one thing and then die to betrayal" thing going on.

favorite life series POV? (and why)

idk that’s the only question i could think of rn

OOOOOO..

I havenr watched 3rd life YET!!! ILL WATCH GRIAN TRUST!!!

Last life I watched Lizzie's pov, and I started Pearl's but I havent finished hers

Double Life I watched pearls

I watches a bit of limited life but I didnt like it overall?? I dont know why

I watched Gem's Secret Life & her Real Life ( yes Im counting Real Life.)

Hmmmm. Overall? Gem, I love the vibes and the interactions we get with her and how her personality contrasts with everyone elses.

If youre talking about pre-Secret Life, then Pearl. I love how Pearl can easily slide into a bit and play a role like she did in Double Life, especially the improv she did that season for 5AM Pearl<3 It was genuinely great.

If you want to ssk about seasons then Ill say Double Life is my favourite too, mostly because of the mechanics and for 5AM Pearl. I love the dynamics we got with it, even if the divorce quarlet had their whole thing<3 It was a wonderful season and I know Ill never experience another like it.

3rd day in 10th Grade 8/31/23

I was pretty excited about today since the One piece live action was gonna be released today!TT

I woke up in a good mood and started my day with eating breakfast while watching The disastrous life of Saiki K.!! I ended up finishing the first season which felt refreshing I couldnt wait to come home after class and watch the 2nd season!!:D

I planned on wearing the males uniform today for the last time since I probably wont be able to wear it in the future because of some teachers:D though ive never announced this in my bio but Im actually genderfluid Ive always felt comfortable with both being feminine and masculine and wearing male and female clothes (clothes dont have gender but Im talking about the stereotypes of what society think they're supposed to be worn) anyway I messaged our teacher to ask permission for me to wear a males uniform so she doesnt scold me infront of everyone (though I think shes not that type of teacher but I just wanted to be cautious) later when I kinda doubted that she would even reply I almost unsent the message but then she replied saying "just for today, I'll open up to the other teachers about this" and I felt some of the weight on my chest was gone and skipped my way outside of our house hopping because of happiness...it really meant a lot that she said that....

then I got to school....it wasnt as crowded as before so it felt kinda nice... I then see some of my friends already chatting and after I dropped my bag in our classroom I joined them

Later when class starts....we answered the 7 intelligences by Howard Gardner...we answered this before last school year....though seeing my results nothings changed about me.... I got spatial-visual....butttt our past teacher never actually told us what was the suitted proffession of our intelligences so I was kinda shocked about mine...she said that people who have spatial-visual intelligence will most likely become an "artist,photographer,scultor, and etc" (I forgot what else she mentioned) and like isnt it crazy because I'm an artist...I also like taking pictures (but I dont really have a professional camera)....and I've always wanted to try sculpting....it was so spot on......no wonder my results never changed...

Snack breaaaaaaaak some of my friends havent been dismissed yet or already had their snack breaks so its just me and my 2 friends (that in the same section as me)...we decided to visit our past classroom...sighh even though it was a pain having to LITERALLY HIKE our way to our classroom because it was so high up we still made tons of memories:D while we were there I bought some turon(banana spring rolls) since the canteen was packed as alwaysTT

on our way back we looked up and saw some of our friends from the 4th floor waving at us so we decided to go to the 4th floor!! I met den there and hugged her when we saw each other!!....we talked about one piece shes so nice to chat withhhh and we also talked about the live action that just dropped (the release time was 3PM and it was currently 3:15)

after chatting I headed back to our classroom....the teacher was kinda busy I think and let our most reliable classmate(he was our president in 9th grade) handle us...we just had to take our height and weight...I was kinda surpised of my weight....it was 47.9kg like........wasnt it 51 last time????.....and it hit me....didnt I do fasting......well it was most likely that I was jealous of other peoples body and did it for the sake of looking good...........but honestly I kinda like that fact that, thats my weight...as for my height though....it didnt change at ALL TT IM GONNA CRY.....now that I think about I think I messed up the numbers because wasnt I 155cm last time..? NOW WHY AM I 152???WHAT WHERE DID THE 3CM GO??????AM I TRIPPING?....well I already passed it to the teacher so....sigh....Im not supposed to be 4'9 I WAS LITERALLY 5'1....oh well whats...done..is ...done.......i guess.....T.T ihatemylife

then class ended....we were in charge of cleaning but it felt like a breeze because this time in my new section there are actually people who HELP FOR CLEANING THE CLASSROOM.

I got out of the classroom as soon as we got dismissed my friends were already outside so I just joined them....then headed home:D

I took this photo while I was walking home...

its a lot later than when I really post my journal but I think it will probably change a lot in the future....I started watching the one piece live action right after I got home because I couldnt wait any longer><.(also ber months starts tomorrow, theyre gonna start counting down the days before christmassTT I cant believe its already been more than half a year already)

thats it for todayy thank you for reading<3 baiiii

[danepopfrippery]

My cishet take (so sorry i know its not my place) is once we get a really CONFIRMED ACTIVE NOT TWO SECOND KISS AND DASH then the bitching will die down. Cuz theres queer media but i dont think any of them have hit ‘relationship’ time yet.

Im pretty sure David Jenkins is gonna ruin me and everything around me but if we get to the point the boys are madly in love and got at lwast a full ep to be in love before plot line drama well i think thatd settle a lot of it.

Thats really the thing: its so new (sadly) that while we’ve got confirmed queer love and attraction in several shows we have yet to see a couple or more be happy together more than that kiss and dash. Like i think league of their own wouldve hit this area better with their next season but amazon sucks dicks.

Whatever happens w ofmd if next summer or the next good omens gets their boys together, heartstopper does whatever (i havent watched it), and ofmd gets their 3rd season of happiness i think ppl will settle.

One good example of why bitching is like crazy ex gf had whitejo and darryl and they were darling but in the end they werent together and the separation felt forced. Its not queerbaiting (they were blatantly queer) but its not a happy ending either.

I think when they say queer baiting thats what they actually mean, not a happy ending for the plot or season.

(And fwiw i have no belief nandermo will exist anymore their just throwing darts at the wall and gonna run this show into the ground but iys not queerbaiting)

In fact just had to add this one: no who didnt get queerbaiting bitching? Righteous Gemstones. By the time they got done exploring the platonic friendship they ended w a kiss and matching rocking chairs. Do that show writers!

is it just me or does anyone else ever think about the hit queer media will take because of how quick people are to call things queerbait?

tl;dr: there's something so good about a slowburn that we won't get with queer media if don't allow these relationships to develop slowly, rather than fast so that you as a writer don't get accused of queerbaiting.

of course, i'm not saying queerbait doesn't happen. we do see it frequently. this is why i think people are too quick when it comes to calling things queerbait, because a lot of people have experienced it so much they're traumatized by it in a way. it's just there are a lot of things that aren't queerbait too.

my perspective here is that a lot of my favorite ships took 5-7 seasons to get together. and those ships are SO GOOD. because you see their relationship develop and they grow as people together before even acknowledging their feelings for each other at times. it's so cool and overall just very human.

i've never had this experience with queer characters because it's always so much faster (and a lot of that comes down to queer, especially sapphic, shows being cancelled). i think a lot of writers do this though because people will accuse them of queerbaiting. i remember hearing that people though ed and stede were queerbait at first. and now i'm seeing this with nandor and guillermo (both canonically queer characters on a show with other canonically queer characters, which i feel immediately disqualifies it as baiting). i'm not the biggest nandermo shipper in the world, but i feel like i could be if this plays out even longer. it's already good and complex because of it taking longer to play out (also, they don't have to end up together at all for it to be a canonically queer relationship btw. the show could end with guillermo being like "i hate you nandor i don't know why i was ever in love with you" or whatever and it would still be good. but that's a topic for another day).

this is all also on top of tv already killing the slowburn by taking such a huge fall from sitcoms having ~25 episodes per season to now like... 10 if you're lucky. so please i beg. don't kill the slowburn even further it's already on life support.

haiii :3 silly little ramble time for those of you that are reading under the cut... enjoy my internal monologue.

i promise btw that i'm not saying any of this to be mean to anyone that has called things queerbaiting that i said aren't in this post. i understand why people are quick to pull that term; this community is so traumatized as a whole. i just never watched any queer media until i was 20 years old so i've never gone through being queerbaited and my standards are all based on the heterosexual couples i watched on tv.

funnily enough, the reason why i never sought out queer media despite knowing i was queer since i was like 14 was because of knowing that it wouldn't be slow and that it would be too?? on the nose?? if that's the right phrase? our flag means death was the first thing that felt complex enough while still being a comedy, weirdly. then came a league of their own. and that's really all i've watched besides wwdits but like... i'm not watching wwdits bc i'm invested in nandermo so. that's different. idk why i started telling my story abt my relationship w queer media. but yeah. i need depth. not just "we're gay and in love"
