hot take but if youāre going to argue with me and you donāt know basic spelling iām going to automatically assume you donāt know what youāre saying
ākats people are dyslexicā yeah and my former dyslexic friend was better at spelling than like 90% of you
ākats english is not everyoneās first languageā i make allowances for this but again plenty of people with english as a second language are better at spelling than 90% of native english speakers
ākats can you stop being a pretentious assholeā no. next question
ākats this is a really rude thing to sayā i am aware. not my fault you never learned how to spell. if youāre embarrassed thatās not my problem just go teach yourself the correct forms of āyourā and āyouāreā for the love of fuck
#this is about everyone who tries to come up with a solid debate against me#and then uses the wrong form of a word#it automatically makes me go āokay you donāt know what youāre talking aboutā so yāknow#kats rants#lol#if youāre offended by this iād say iām sorry but iām not#yes everyone has different levels of whatever#no i donāt take that as an excuse#bye

because iām in a mood today (i.e., not mad, just full of spite and ready to bite someone out of sheer enjoyment of the activity) iām going to add onto this.
i invite constructive criticism on my pieces because if someone has advice that will genuinely help me improve, iām all for that! but itās obvious some of you never learned what constructive criticism is, because youāre too busy filling it with personal bias. so let me explain how it works, yes?
āi donāt understand whatās happening here; what if you tried [x]? or maybe you can think of another way to clear this up a little.ā ā this is constructive! this is unbiased and helpful. this shows me thereās a part of my writing where i didnāt explain my thoughts effectively and i can make it better.
āi donāt like that [x] happens/doesnāt happen,ā or āi wish we saw more of [x].ā ā these are not constructive. these are personal biases. and they do not belong in workshop spaces (which, if iām inviting your critiques, it somewhat is). these comments donāt tell me anything about the writing itself, they only tell me what you personally want and donāt want.
newsflash: content creation, unless you specifically are paying for it (to an extent that you are purchasing a product, not just donating your money to a creator) is never about You.
when it comes down to it, you, a consumer, do not have any right to personal bias except where you are directly paying for a product to consume.
fandom is not the space for that.
if you want to critique me, do it right. otherwise you make yourself sound immature and you make me want to spite you. and never, never give critiques to a fan creator that has not asked for them.
soapbox over.
Hey, if you donāt have something nice to say about other peopleās creations (gifsets, art, fic etc)
then
donāt say anything at all.

Savage Opress, as a character, is what a certain type of Anakin stans want Anakin to be, in practically every aspect, and the fact that he's so underappreciated in the fandom is partially because seeing the reality of a character who is actually damaged in those ways makes that certain type of fan uncomfortable. In this essay I will - [gunshots]
#kat rants#savage opress#anakin skywalker critical#he was raised in a force cult and mentally manipulated#he grew up with no ability to make his own choices#and he had the family he loved ripped away from him because of the cult's actions#then he was forced to do terrible things by a powerful man#and became the enemy of the galaxy because of it#am i taking about savage or the weird saintly caricature of anakin that stanikans cling to and blame the jedi for#fandom salt

I've read someone saying that Husk is just telling Angel to suck it up and victim blaming him.
Yes he's saying Angel to suck it up, but he isn't saying anything about him having fault into his situations, but he can understand regretting bad choises. He's saying he isn't alone, and he can in some way, understand him.
Husk is the first one who Angel reveals that he had sold his soul to Valentino, and the same goes for Husk that reveals that once he was a overlord and he had made a deal with Al.
Now, the situations are obviously not the same. Valentino is abusive, manipulatine and a r*pist. Al is yes, a sadistic overlord and he is not a good person, but he is evil for his own entertainment and in the pilot he calls Husk to fulfill his favor, making him work at the bar, probably just because he enjoy making Husk do it just for the sake of ordering him around.
What Husk is saying to Angel Dust is You are not alone. You may be a loser, you may feel you're at the bottom and screwd up, but that's okay. Cut yourself some slacks, forgive yourself and start to accept your flaws. You are not alone and together we can help each other.

UGHHH the way viktor was afraid of people forgetting his accomplishments and how his memory will be short lived only for it to ACTUALLY HAPPEN is SO FUCKING HEARTBREAKING
because he was never included in the hextech credits, his name isnt as publically known and ppl will only see him as That One Guy who started a cult and tried to take over the world or smth (IF that. like do most people even know thats viktor in there or is it just another Piltoverās nameless baddie of the week to themā¦ sad)
and the FEW people who knew him and his contribution to hextech are either just dead or probably saw him as a villain as their last memory of him, was he even worth saving in their mind??
the ONLYYYY person who understood him and loved him for who he was (other than sky ofc, who also died lmao) was taken with him in death, so viktorās story wont even live on in honor for how he truly was and what he really stood for, bc jayce is the only one who can accurately describe him post-mortem
and people will probably think jayce (THE GOLDEN BOY, MAN OF PROGRESS in the eyes of piltover) died trying to fight him bc no one knows what their conversation was about before they went out, or how jayce was willing to sacrifice himself too because he shares blame in it all, so theyll likely just villainize viktor for that as well, 'the one who killed jayce talis- creator of hextech'
and no one is alive to mourn him :( so fucking depressing
also i dont blame jayce for 'taking all the credit' like some people do lol ive seen ppl say he was egotistical and taking it all in for himself and pushing viktor aside, but he literally always says viktor is his partner and never implies that HE ALONE developed hextech or that hes the sole creator in it all
like its always been 'OUR inventions' and 'my PARTNER' and 'WE created this' whenever jayce talks about hextech. he literally corrects viktor from "your [jayce's] hextech dream" to "our hextech dream" the very first night they partner up bc, despite knowing this man for maybe 4 hours max, he already recognizes the importance of their partnership and that hes not the sole idea-man in this project anymore
i think that whole negative idea was probably developed from jayce signing every single page in his notes,, but itd make more sense to me that he'd do that- not out of arrogance- but he might share the same fear that viktor has: in being forgotten for his work... so he signs every page making sure no one can take a piece out of context and pass it as their own years down the line, or erase the possibility that forget the origin of the creator, especially in a world where a species like yordels are seemingly immortal, names hold a lot of weight as time withers tangible things away
and im assuming jayce recognizes that the fact that being from the undercity could have easily silenced viktor's ideas and contributions in the eyes of the public, and jayce doesnt want to diminish his work towards it. two very important lines jayce hears from viktor that night are "do you think i want to spend my whole life as an assistant" and "a poor kid from the undercity, no one believed in me, i was an outcast the moment i stepped foot in piltover" and he probably took those to heart (paraphrasing those quotes bc i have the memory of a goldfish or smth)
i feel like its moreso piltover to blame (? imo) lmao they set up jayce as the golden boy, and piltover is all about names and status and wealth. they very obviously discriminate against zaunites (and viktor himself states that too) like yeah we dont see the whole process of The Man of Progress being made,, BUT viktor expresses how he doesnt want to go out in front of people in Progress Day, so jayce is very much just respecting his wishes and boundaries to not drag him up there when hes clearly uncomfortable at the thought yk?
viktor might also recognize himself that piltover will use his knowledge as a celebrity idol for people to look at rather than as an actual scientist for people to acknowledge and appreciate. he wants to be known for what he did, not a soulless face for people to gawk at. makes sense tho, irl u usually dont remember celebrity actions unless theyre negative, but you do remember scientist's accomplishments rather than what they look like
ppl bring up the hexgate blueprints at the end and how it only has Jayce's name on it as another argument and idk i feel like it has multiple things to stem off that before getting to the 'jayce took credit for everything' idea?
maybe they were changed after the whole cult incident, like viktor's name taken off, which yeah thats obviously depressing in itself. i think its more likely bc piltover wont want their whole gimmick to be associated with that incident, rather than jayce purposefully leaving viktor's name out of it... thats probably the strongest explanation imo. we gotta remember viktor is quite literally jayce's best friend- do you really think jayce would take away his best friend's accomplishments like that? lets be real yall HAHA
my own guess is that jayce was actually the sole designer in the hexgate design, and while they can share custody, maybe viktor doesnt take credit for things that werent his ? like yeah they worked on the hextech ideas together but it could be more like jayce drew up the plans and viktor helped with the science of it idk, but thatd explain why only jayce's name would be on it (in a non depressing way that kind of makes sense), bc jayce designed the hexgates specifically
maybe viktor didnt want his name on it either bc reasons i said above, tho this is unlikely to me bc he probably wouldnt want his name taken off if he was scared about legacy erasure,, but these are just theories idk
anyway i think blaming jayce for viktor's erasure is kind of - uhm -stupid because jayce has always made it his goal to not just save viktor but to include viktor every time he brings up hextech in conversation, whether it calls for his mention or not. because jayce knows drilling viktor's name association as co-contributer to hextech into the heads of other people is important, considering viktor's background, and jayce's own current social status as the golden boy: the leverage he holds when he speaks. people will listen lol

Charlie Morningstar is probably one of the worst written characters Iāve seen in the series.
(This oneās gonna be a long oneā¦)
Okā¦. So I watched all six episodes and to be honest Iām pretty much pissed off by this character specifically. This might be more of a rant rather than a critique, so I do understand that not everything I say in this will end up being as constructive exactly but I genuinely need to get this off my chest, especially since she is a character Iāve specifically and recently been hyper fixating on before the show releasedā¦
(Side note: I realized the post was very long so, to have it be easier to read I added titles for each section! Hope this helps)
!!WARNING FOR SPOILERS FOR THE SERIES BTW!!
> Charlie lacks the qualities of being a main character.
Now besides the piss poor excuse of an introduction for her (and the rest of the cast) in the main series, I honestly question why exactly Charlie specifically is the āprotagonistā in the first place (and I say protagonist with the biggest of quotes here, youāll see why).
In the first episode of the series āovertureā, we donāt really see much of her character, most of the time weāre shown screen time of Vicky (a nickname I made for v*ggie since Iām not gonna call her by her genitalia thank you) trying to make an ad for the hotel and even when we do get the screen time of her, sheās barely doing anything other than hearing vivās self insert- I mean- Adam just go on and on about whatever heās talking about.
And when Charlie does go on to explain her plan to redeem sinners sheās just interrupted and then stands there when they start singing hell is forever, she doesnāt āgo offā like the hazbin Twitter says, she just stands there and then tries to say something only to get interrupted again and again and then gets pushed out of the meeting room before going back to the hotel to see itās spread across in the news that the next extermination happens in 6 months.
Now although one might argue āWell didnāt Charlie at one point said in the show that giving orders is so mean?ā Well yes but again, Charlie is literally the princess of pride ring, you would think that since her parents are literally rulers of pride, they wouldāve probably teach her how to stand on her two feat, especially if your RUNNING A HOTEL. And the thing is, she has stood up and did so in episode 6 and the goddamn pilot (which is at this point is probably canon due to Charlie calling it the hazbin hotel instead of happy hotel), even going as far as to fight Katie Killjoy because she thought it was stupid.
Not only that but the episodes after overture, her screen time lessens until somewhat in 5 and 6. She doesnāt really appear that much in the between these episodes to the point where she feels like a supporting character rather than a protagonist. And when she does get screen time, sheās either forgettable at best and infuriating at worst.
> Charlieās character is poorly written and just dumb.
In the episodes past overture, sheās literally rock solid stupid that I literally screamed in real life multiple times āyouāre a fucking idiotā because of how frustrated I was from what she was doing, In episode 2 she literally trusted sir pentious to go to her hotel even though he almost destroyed her place and in episode 6 thought it was a hunky dory idea to let a person who literally exploded buildings to take charge of giving her employees a āgood timeā. Yes it could be played off as her being naive but if sheās that naive of a person then maybe she shouldnāt be a boss of a hotel to rehabilitate sinners.
Heck, in episode 4, Charlie gets pissed off and turns into her demon form because val literally started hurting Angel when he followed him into the room (and rightfully so) but when angel tells her to leave and drags her out of the studio, sheās just in her normal form and fucks off??? Reminder sheās literally the princess of hell! She could beat the shit out of val if she wants to, why did she just fucked off after angel had her leave?
āBut Kat, what if something bad happens to angel if valentino dies?ā Like what? If it was explained that if an overlord dies then the sinners that made a deal with them die too or something like that then yeah, that would make sense but we donāt know that whether or not thatās the case, if anything angel could be just fine after Valentino dies but we donāt know that.
And even when Charlie had the opportunity to go out there and apologize to him herself after he stormed out of the hotel, she and Vicky just send Husk to do it. And I have to ask, WHY? HUSK didnāt know what was happening to Angel earlier. HUSK wasnāt at the porn studio that Angel was working at. CHARLIE WASā¦.
āWell Kat, what if Charlie was scared about making things worse?ā Fair enough, but again sending Husk is a stupid idea, I feel like it wouldāve AT LEAST made sense if she sent Vicky out there. Because Charlie didnāt know if husk could fight (if you could even call it that, all he did was throw cards at people), BUT SHE KNEW VICKY COULD THOUGH. But nah we gotta do it for the ship right?
And then Charlie had the gull to be crying that angel forgave her after she fucked up, like shut the fuck upā¦ itās like if viv looked at a bunch of chars that had the optimistic care-free āish personality and thought that meant making her as pathetic as a baby crying that they didnāt get a lollipop from their mommy.
Like Iām gonna be honest with you, itās literally gone to a point where I think Orel Puppington (aka the 11 yo Christian kid who worships Jesus and gets harmful lessons from other Christians) makes a better Charlie Morningstar than the Charlie Morningstar herself!
And that thought is justified when he tried to go help people in Sinville, āKat he ended up turning into a pimp at the end of the episodeā yeah but AT LEAST HE TRIED TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING! Which leads me to another questionā¦.
> How is Charlie gonna redeem sinners exactly???
Like honestly, Iām serous with this one. How is Charlie gonna redeem these guys?
I ask this because in the series, she barely does ANYTHING to help these guys, she and the rest of the characters just sit around and then do an activity that is the equivalent of something you would do in kindergarten except itās with ADULTS.
I donāt know about you but If your idea of helping people is doing just that and nothing else, then the only thing the people around you are gonna get is them being annoyed at first and eventually walking out with thinking your not helping them but rather just treating them like a baby who doesnāt know anything, and the only thing your gonna get personally is nothing because you did dick all.
Like other than that she pretty much just whines about sinners not going to her hotel and oh gee I wonder why, itās not like your not doing anything to help these sinners not committing sins anymore, oh definitely not, your absolutely being helpful.
āOh but Kat! Charlie was born in hell, how can she know how to help people? Sheās not from the human world so, she wouldnāt exactly know how to help these people!ā I would tell you to look at the world building for the series and itās spin off but thatās a whole other can of beans that I donāt wanna cover today and this is already getting to long, so yāknow what? Weāll go with that.
If Charlie didnāt know how to help people and was trying to figure out what she can do to help sinners get better, then why didnāt she just ask her employees for suggestions? Yāknow, the other sinners who were from the human world and had experiences while they were alive and such?
Yeah, I get that not all of their advice would be exactly good or healthy (since theyāre sinners whoāve done many bad things after all) BUT ITS AT LEAST SOMETHING FOR FUCKS SAKE!!!
She literally does nothing, she just expects you to immediately get better after some improvisations or whatever other activities she does and once youāve done one nice thing then boom youāre close to redemption.
> Conclusion.
Charlie Morningstar is (like I said in the beginning) probably one of the worst characters in the hazbin hotel series, she at best a stereotype of the āeverything is sunshines and rainbowsā character tropes and at worst is a pathetic excuse of a main character and is nothing but a rotten shell of her character from the pilot.
I would go on about how her designās also bad but Iām sure millions of people have already said the same issues and Iāve already posted my redesign of her before the show dropped.
I might plan on posting a rewrite of her or maybe explain my problems with another character or episode but I donāt know.
But until then, Iāll see yāall later!

Laptop screen problems!! Might take a while for me to post something new. (ā āæā )
Ha. Hahahahah hahe heaah. For the majority of my life, I have animated and drawn on a shitty cheap phone screen with cracks all over it and this laptop thinks it can stop me with a little green tint.?
Screw this fuck. I have my tablet display screen just fine, this thing isn't going into any repair shops anytime soon. Not until I finish my animation and I will finish that fucking animation, I am NOT going a single day not drawing because of a faulty display cable or whatever other problems this dainty little Acer laptop has.
I most definitely do not have the money to fix this thing at the moment, school has just started, and my body is currently in pain because of physical problems beyond my control, I don't care. I am finishing that goddamn animation, I am drawing, I will animate until I drop dead in front of my SCREEN.
If I die I'm taking my drawing equipment with me so I can still draw in hell.
#hi sorry#I got a bit overdramatic there#that rant was fueled with pure rage and insanity I hate everything but that's ok because I can still draw#my drive to draw and animate is stronger than my will to live#it's pretty much the only thing keeping me alive by this point idk#and my fandoms too#fandoms#one of the main reasons dying sounds like a not so good idea#like how will i watch stanley parable if im in hell without wifi#kat talks

i think the most annoying part about nalu getting literally ZERO development in 100yq is that itās so obvious how they could write them falling in love YET THEY CHOOSE NOT TO. like dude i donāt UNDERSTAND!!! you set up lucy to be a.) worried about natsu and his āscary flamesā (which, donāt even get me fucking started) and b.) at least a little canonically in love with himā¦ and then just? donāt do anything? with that??? like for the love of all things holy DEVELOP NATSUāS DEMONIC PROPERTIES AND BOOM! COMPELLING STORY AND PLAUSIBLE ROMANCE!!! have her be the only one who can get through to him!!! have him be worried about hurting her!!!! JUST DO SOMETHINGššššššš
anyways sorry yall i was curious about whatās been going on in the anime so i watched the latest 100yq episode (ššš) and yall are RIGHT! the lack of nalu development is STARK!!!! like wdym gruvia and jerza are like married and gajevy are having a kid together and nalu areā¦ what..? talking once every 10 chapters??? and even when they do talk itās some stupid unfunny joke?!!?? IM LAUGHING like i know im being soooo over dramatic and i literally should not expect greatness from fairy tail 100yq of all things but COME ONNNNNNN!!! MAKE THEM LOVE EACH OTHER!!!!! what happened to tenrou and gmg naluš£š£š£ come homeš£š£š£
#curiosity killed the kat (me)#sorry guys being on tumblr makes me want to rant about fairy tail#itās like iām being possessed fr#anyways i just wish they would do my fav couple justice#they deserve to fall in love#like ive been watching this shit since i was like 12ā¦ wdym im almost 22 and theyāre still not together#craziness#fairy tail#nalu#yapping

I like how most iterations of Sycamore and Lysandre are close friends who genuinely care about each other. (If you look away from Lysandreās plans cough cough he felt sad that he couldnāt bring Sycamore with him to his new world.)
But then the anime exists, where Sycamore absolutely hates Lysandre. And were one of the people who actively tried to murder him.
Pokeani Sycamore: Oh? Lysandre? No I hope he dies. Iām gonna go make out with Meyer now bye.

this is the face of a man whoās going to suffer a severe disappointment
seriously šš top ten photos before disaster core cuz LOOK AT HIM HE WAS SO HAPPY READY TO SEE HIS HUSBAND AFTER A WHOLE MORNING OF HIM GONE
the shock?? the confusion?? the way he couldnāt even react?? the way he knew instantly it wasnāt Henry because he would NEVER grab him like that??? kill me.
AND THIS??! HYDE?? MAKING GOOD ON HIS PROMISE TO FLIRT WITH LANYON?? oh wait no thatās only with Jekyllās bodyā¦noooooā¦.WORSE. LANYON WONāT RECOGNISE HIM NOOOOOOOOO
okay well Iāll take what i can get the ādarlingā is sending me into the fucking stratosphere
PAIN. THE ABSOLUTE FUCKING PAIN. HYDE THROWING LANYON INTO HIS PILE OF POTIONS LIKE HE MEANT NOTHING. CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT LANYONāS FEELING NOW??
heās seriously going to question himself and the world at how he fell for Hydeās ātrickā so easily, notice no one else was in the room and think heās duped (itās not like he would want to hear Frankie out otherwise) and worse, might think Hyde is again, blackmailing Jekyll and that Jekyll is in danger. Orā¦.even worse if itās possible, notice Hyde wearing Jekyllās clothes and get a very wrong idea of what happened.
bro. bro either way Lanyon is going to be out for Hydeās blood I CANNOT WAIT for the potential angst that would follow ESPECIALLY WITH HYDE BEING AS UNSTABLE AS THIS AND WANTED TOO OMG WAIT WAIT WHAT IF LANYON TURNS HIM IN-

I am fully in support of all of those posts that critique fandom's obsession with making the clones completely Mandalorian in every way curse you Traviss, and I think it's valid to take a second look at the impulse, but I also take umbrage with the idea that the clones have nothing to do with Mandalorian culture at all. Literally the most visible clone in the whole of TCW wears jaig eyes, used the same way the Mandalorians use them, and so do multiple other clones. Multiple clones also picked Mando'a names for themselves, or wear traditional Mandalorian hairstyles, and Boil isn't the only clone who wears some sort of Death Watch insignia (which is fascinating in its own right).
There's just - nuance to all of it, I think. The clones aren't wholly Mandalorian, but they aren't not Mandalorian either. Whatever canon you want to take re: Jango and the trainers he picked, the clones clearly picked up bits of the culture from them, whether because of or despite them. Especially considering Mandalorian culture was largely spread through conquest originally, and adoption, the clones have as much of a right to it as anyone, and writing that off or ignoring the fact that at least some of them clearly do consider themselves part of the culture in some way removes a lot of the grey area from them as their own thing, imo.
The clones are a grey area, as a whole. I think that's part of the tragedy of them. They don't have one people who are their own except other clones. They don't have one specific homeworld or culture. They were created literally to die as cannon fodder, and they made themselves into a people despite that. Taking away one of the major pieces they incorporated into their lives (in strict canon, even if you want to ignore everything Traviss ever touched) is weird and overlooks a lot of what's presented about the clones in TCW.
They don't have to be perfectly Mandalorian in every way. That's just as much of an injustice to them. But removing the Mandalorian bits entirely strips away a lot of how they clearly see themselves, too.
#kat rants#meta#star wars#finally saw one too many 'how dare you portray the clones as mandos' posts whoops#anyway#the way the clones incorporate and relate to their mando heritage is fascinating and it deserves more than to be brushed off#just because some bits of fandom take it to the extreme#clone troopers

Hi Kat~
I hope you're doing well! You've graced my inbox several times, and more often than not, your asks give me little bursts of inspiration for snippets.
If you're comfortable sharing, I was wonderingāhow would your MC make Chris/Jade or the parents suffer? Or, if you're not up for answering that, Iād love to hear some details about your OCs!
Either way, I hope you're having a great day/night, and Iām looking forward to seeing you in my inbox or the comment section!
LEA!!! HOLY SHIT, HI!!!
My god, this is such an honor, I'm not even joking!
Okay, so when I first mentioned my MCs, I was still using previous OCs from other IFs , but now I think I've OFFICIALLY adjusted them into true Love & Leases fashion, so I'll do a post about them later with picrew images and everything, but in the meantime--
Peridot "Dot", my Cam-mancer (formerly Genevieve), would not go in with the Intention of making anyone hurt. It's easier for her to just cut them out of her life. BUT, that doesn't mean they won't be seeing her around. Dot posts on socials fifty times more than she ever did before, because suddenly it's like this entire weight is off of her shoulders and well, Cam takes too good of pictures not to post when they're finally together.
Dot honestly just decides to live well with the knowledge that her family and Chris will never be allowed to touch her existence again. That being said. Doesn't mean Dot won't be passive aggressive. They might get, "You are Not Invited to the Wedding" Invitations in the mail. Jade might get a piece of jewelry in the mail: something that she gave to Dot years ago because she didn't like it and though it was more to Dot's "taste", and it was something that had been given to Jade by Chris or her parents. so when that comes in the mail at a strategic time, it won't be pretty.
Jumana, my G mancer (formerly Quinn) on the other hand, has Fuck Around time. If she hadn't been so shell-shocked when finding Chris and Jade doing the Deed, she would have been grabbing inconvenient shit right there with Cam. Would have grabbed Chris's favorite shirt/underpants, cut them up, and then mailed them back. Would arrange friendly dinners with ALL her family's friends, be on her absolute best behavior when spending time with them (which she's not known for with Jade and her parents) so that her family looks bad for their decisions to support Jade and Chris.
She would find the time to tell Chris at one point that they were a rebound from G. Would remind Jade that if Chris cheated on Jumana, what would stop them from doing the same to her down the line? Or reminding Jade that the spotlight can burn, so be careful where she seeks it. And well. Jumana doesn't exactly keep what happened a secret. So that spotlight might burn Jade faster than she expects.
