#like im p sure they did it in s1 too but idk just felt more subtle this season

[shapes-nd-colors]

I just finished Perfection and I gotta say I really like the way that Chloes bullying like permeates Marinettes and others insecurities and stuff. Like when Marinette is talking down to herself she says how she's being "ridiculous" over and over and like that's shit Chloe says all the time about her and even though in these later seasons the class like fights back against her bullshit I like that it shows just how much of a negative impact her antagonizing has had on the people around her

i didnt know lou jiongze was on season 2 lol however briefly 

also i think its kinda bittersweet that already from s2 ep 1 cai xukun is labeled as the most popular and hes already trying his best to fight for being known for his talent rather than just his popularity… similar to what he talked about in the final nine percent show….. hes been fighting this fight since 2016 wow

so yes im starting s2 HAHAHAHHA i cant believe winning s1 was basically meaningless bc all top 15 are recognized rather equally lol… and sad that wang guangyun isnt coming back??? or jinhyung? i was looking forward to seeing more guangyun tho :( does this mean i gotta watch tntb to see him again...? 

realizing this, ive suddenly gotten the urge to rank the top 15 in my own personal bias list LOL…. ok halfway through i realized how hard this is gonna be, because i dont think i know them enough to actually rank them in a detailed manner… i think of it more in tiers like 1-2 are like my actual favs (TT) and then 3-6 i have very soft spots in my heart for them and then 7-10 are from afo so i feel a bit more familiar with them than the rest 11-15 i just dont feel very familiar with?? but i do have a positive impression of like all of them…. i do think language barrier comes into play too

uhhh wumuti is just too perfect!??!? and beautiful and cute and i love his facial expressions and his eyes and his reactions and his dancing and his stage presence and his relationship with his mom and it’s interesting to see how mature he is for his age, and sometimes it feels like hes got a lot going on behind that cute exterior ahhh but yu gengyin is like just so smiley with his smiley eyes and hes just so boyfriend / boy next door and his supportiveness and his voiceeee and hes so underappreciated wtf

also can we talk about how pinlin went from always being picked last and feeling unwanted to having the teachers fighting over him in season 2? wow progress :’) but really so proud of him

on another note… COME ON HOW COULD NONE OF THEM PICK YU GENGYIN!????????? EXCUSE/!!!!!!?!???? hes a recognized main vocal!!!! and hes improved so much with his facial expressions and his dancing is p good now too and he has stage presence!!! idk why they would pick some of these other randos ugh i dont understand!!!!!!! but also tbh i was really hoping when he did get picked, he wouldnt get picked into the group with all the newbies but alas…….. AAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHH now i have to care about that group TT im literally screaming at my computer bc im SO MAD

but yea theyve really set it up to make the newbies not likeable???? why would you go around insulting the s1 kids who are already trained and already popular… its only gonna get you antis lol……… sigh these newbies are just there to add drama. if any of the s1 kids actually got eliminated in ep 1 i think everyone would riot lol (isnt zuo qibo like one of the most popular kids too? and they pretended like they were thinking about eliminating him HAH) this show should be grateful so many of them even came back =_=

but yea ive started listening to a swin playlist on youtube and picked out a few songs i like, but tbh i think they have a lot of songs but a majority of them just arent my style? idk i felt that way about some xnine songs too, like i really like the kids but the songs are just not…. for me…? idk EDIT LOL I TAKE THAT BACK SOME OF THESE ARE GROWING ON ME including the silly one about the seaside??? I thought it was a joke song at first but then I saw a dance practice video for it lol and the choreo is terribly cute to the point that its prob torture HAHAHAHA im cry

one things for sure, the new world mv is so extra but theyre so beautiful HAHAHAHHAHA

I wasn't going write this, but after seeing @isamukuro post I just needed to get this off my chest. 

this..this is what actually hurts me the most. As a woman of color, especially coming from an African immigrant background, discovering Alluras character was everything to me. I saw so much of myself in her, and more importantly so much of what I wanted to become. I literally only started watching Voltron because of a this gifset of Allura in s2. It showcased her determination, leadership and I just.. I just feel like this season really took everything that I love about her and just destroyed it. 

Kallura was a second main reason why I loved this show, it was so beautiful and the dynamics between them are so soft and meaningful.. and to have all that broken down this season is so heartbreaking. For k/a to be endgame just makes so much sense. For all of that development, the subtle and non subtle moments, the parallels between their respective storylines; all that we’ve seen from them from s1-s4 to just be wasted, and ignored like that makes absolutely no sense and it really hurts. This is why I feel with my gut that k/a was supposed to happen, and then the creators changed their minds and we started to see those changes in s6. Their relationship would have been a great and beautiful one-the creators really messed this one up. 

Watching Keith become like this after all his growth hurt and was so ooc that I couldn't stand seeing him on screen. Keith was never harsh like that with the paladins and especially with Allura. He was always so soft spoken with her and tender; even in s2 when they had the falling out because of his heritage he never once blamed her or was harsh. And for them to make him bring up Alfor-Alfor who was everything to Allura and make Keith call them both weak? I'm sorry but thats truly disgusting. if they used this as a way to dismantle all that they built up for kallura this shouldn’t have been the way to do it. Not only did they  ruin Keiths character, but they also destroyed any mean of friendship between the two of them. Ugh writing this hurts yo. I really can't believe this what we got. 

Even with Lance becoming Alluras love interest makes me so upset for many reasons- mainly because I really truly do not see any chemistry between them. If the story was written differently from the start and Lances character change started earlier on, and more importantly Alluras feelings towards lance, I might have bought it a little. but because we haven't really seen any romantic feelings of interest be projected  from Allura towards lance until this season, it doesn't add up. I really don'teven want to dwell too much on a/l, it just makes me feel bad for Allura like she just has to settle. it leaves a bad taste in my mouth is all. It would have been made to be a really great friendship, and would have been great growth for lance but yeah I'm ...im just over it. And plance sweet plance, they really did us dirty with that. they gave us all those moments between them for the first half of this season to just to amount to nothing. they could have been so good, so good I tell you.  So much for “lance dosent know what he wants.. , he will be a first choice.” yeah ok. And the same thing for romelle and hunk, all those similarities and jabs and then nothing? Im so baffled at the writing of the relationships of this show now, how did it come to this.

And What really truly upsets me and makes me internally scream is axca and Keith. I really I'm confused and outright angry at them for making this a thing. Like for a/l I kind of get but this? they never had conversation. not once. all the moments of her saving him those 2 times really are interpreted as payback/debt and they were glaring at each other the whole time. please miss  me with that bs. lm legitimately upset at this paring and honestly can't believe its a thing. They really switched out Allura for her. Wow. 

At first I wasn't going to even finish this season after ep6 but my friend convinced me to keep watching, and I wasn't going to write this but after seeing all of the posts from the tag I just felt I need to join in and more importantly just vent and find closure lol, I really never expected to get so worked up over this show and I guess I just need to stop getting too emotionally invested in characters I love. I still think its great seeing the k/a and p/l fan bases still have hope. You guys are the purest part of this fandom and I'm so glad that I was a part of it. Idk if I'm going to finish this show, I think seeing Alluras character go through this would just hurt to much. *sigh* So I guess this is I wanted to get off my chest, and I'm probably going to be off this account for a while. But ones things for sure, I'm still happy that I knew the Allura from s1-s5. She was great and I love that I still got to know her. And I love k/a, like so much and the k/a from s1-4 will always be canon to me. And like I said, I know it in my gut that after the show ends the creators are going to admit that they were going to go with it kallura but decide to “change or spice it up! -because no one wants k/a or p/l. And even if they don't admit I know its the truth. if you have any sense you would too. ugh. I hate this lol. Lessoned learned. I’ll remember not to get emotionally involved with shows where the majority of its fanbase is so ugly to the point it makes the show runners change their initial plot making us all suffer by writing something far worse. ugh. rant over. I know I'm going to get past this, but for now my heart just hurts.
