#like you literally just did a LGBT+ character over and the LGBT+ fans but I'm supposed to be happy with another one lmfao?

[mythalism]

i feel like i can maybe bring some comfort or at least some clarity to that anon & other fans taking datv so hard as someone who's been playing EA's sims: fortnite for like. a decade.

for those who don't like life simming games i have to preface this by saying the first three sims games had their own lore, timelines, easter eggs and theories and storylines imbedded into the world to make it feel more livelier and less of a Click Here Go Here game. when EA took over maxis they covered sims 3 with paywalled bullshit known as "sims points" where you unlock base game content / new towns through. paying money to get fake money.

anyway. when sims 4 came out we didn't have toddlers, pools, or shit that was basically a base game item since the sims 2. but the create a sim was soooooo immersive!!!! and that was kind of the biggest marketing for the game (lolz. deja vu anyone) and for about three years EA & the sims devs gaslit the players into saying shit like a pool or a roofing system were just too difficult to include. as someone who's spent an atrocious amount of money on sims DLC, much of which for the past 5 years has been broken, as in, your game fucking crashes and is unplayable, broken and still unfixed, i had no hope for veilguard lol.

like i'm not gonna lie, we got fucked, like royally, and i expected no less. but considering that ea has managed to strip the soul of a game which the entire point of is "create your own world!" and you can't even do that without 30GB of immersion mods and custom content, i'd say bioware did an ok job at keeping veilguard slightly above the Fuck You, Pay Me EA gaming model.

i also have to say ea as a parent company does not care about players. i don't know the intricacies of why they bought bioware and maxis apart from the fact that they held franchise potential, and i don't pretend to know. but EA's end goal with veilguard was always to milk it as much as they can from the baseline consumer (fifa, battlefield, that dogshit star wars multiplayer) and not bioware enjoyers.

i won't talk ab the writing bc everytime i hear "it's up to interpretation" all i hear is either we were forbidden from having difficult/nuanced conversations about anything or we ourselves don't care enough because the state & quality of bioware's writing has always been subpar and constantly pandering to a very specific audience that think racially or sexually diverse character = pinnacle of good writing & representation even if said character has nothing else going on storywise (like how taash's quest is literally just WOE. ROOK CHOOSES THEIR IDENTITY with no nuance or care to tell their story outside or LGBT BE UPON YE or MISGENDER BE UPON YE if you don't do their quest, or the returning hypersexualization of isabela being ignored cus yaasss slayyy girl power. it's empowering to wear a bra & thong during battle! pussy out during the blight shes a thief but shes so kind and woke and cares about the little man!!!!)

also the allegories for elves, dwarves & qun as people of color esp indigenous people when a huge chunk of biowares writing & creative dept is all white people. well. ✋🙂‍↔️ let me be quiet lest the ire of VOTE YOUR WAY INTO THE REVOLUTION crowd finds me. but it's always been questionable it's just more obvious now with EA breathing down their neck like a velociraptor bc they need that sweet sweet MAGA money they get from musty 30yo men stroking it to FIFA24 to invest in veilguard

nodding along sagely. i was a sims 2 & 3 lover as a child and i bought 4 when it came out, played it for like 2 days and never picked it up again lol so i fully agree that dragon age made it out pretty damn good in comparison on its fourth entry. i also agree that we should be careful to absolve bioware as a studio itself too much.... the games have always been full of racism, misogyny, islamophobia and generally insensitive and reckless portrayals of real-life cultures and issues for the sake of their games. veilguard, i think, takes that deserved criticism and course corrects in the complete wrong direction - instead of correcting the racism they uhhhhhhh just got rid of any sort of sociopolitical commentary. and actually kept the racism so it didnt even work. anyway. yeah companies dont care about us LOL. but thats why we have each other here on this silly website <3

Hello owl fans, I wanted to give my critical breakdown on When I first watched Owl House, now rewatching it, looking back at a well known character in

This very 3 part topic focusing on

Everyone's fan favorite Amity who I like to call

(Little Miss Self Insert) Amity analysis & why she’s popular

Literally the same (Real) hair color as the creator

DISCLAIMER THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK ON THE CREATOR But a Critic that could benefit the show & educate viewers, POC, BIPOC (Bi meaning black indigenous, Person of color) REP,

(don't Hate appreciate), if ya can't Face different opinions or anyone with an open mind who can critic just being nasty/policing people, There's the Portal Door to outer space.

Ok aight Lets start to this 3 PART topic post

I indeed love my run of Amity as a character because she made an impactful LGBTQ show great, along with her endeavor on how she developed as a character. ( Also Green Hair AMity is Better.) because she had great drive melding her into the person she is, having to face her parents, falling in loving with luz.

Due to the high demand being a lgbt character at times, (even though we been starved and wanting more rep) has at times repercussions and flaws,if the writing, narrative & pacing is compromised in the show which shown after rewatching the series ANOTHER TOPIC.

I'm fully aware that she's a well-known fan favorite character ever since the show's green light along the panel interview with Dana Terrace hyped her up during the debut panel of the other shark cartoon she worked on, DOWN BELOW

After Rewatching the show I felt there was more to her then just being luz girlfriend,

(like other characters to never get there titular moments at time like the Hexside students.)

and how she was written in a one-sided straight forward manner which people overlook cause we had proud lgbt content to gush over, googling, blushing eyes and the creator saying no romance in the series yet we have a two girls hogging peoples potential and spotlight?!

which contributed to her name trending more & talked about compared to our main POC character (which I find weird & Staggering at times.)

Theres proof from a Good post on here THATS IMPORTANT BELOW

Now we got that outta the way 3 major reasons LETS GO

The Favoritism

I feel the favoritism in fandom really says about how the show reacts TO OUR favorite characters, yes a world and great characters can be executed in titular episodes or moment you can let them see shine,

but diving into the season 1 of the show had its Rocky start till they started the real action in season 2 not to mention the kiss scene which put everyone on good edge however hogged (a titular poc spotlight.)

There's proof on how poc people in real life are depicted in media as something negative and gross yet caucisian people are giving everything handed to them in a silver spoon.

so here's a article ill bring up cause these types of behavior says in how poc see ourselves

Heck thats how we got that lumity controversial pic

(IF YA KNOW YA KNOW)

ill pull up with article on black media effects real life

I truly did feel the intent on the show at times was made selfishly at times,

Which there's a link about a unique article that sheds some light on this situation on how it treated Amity and why she was made into a self inset character. Showing relationship run throughout the show.

you can be able to write a good cartoon series and make an impact on fans, spilling your life on the show you care being in there shoes,

However don't let it sacrificed the many aspects excusing plots, and narrative with tonal whiplash & poor characterization.

Hope Your here with me now lets get on to

Shipping discourse

these girls took over the whole world by storm, to the point the fandom only cares about these girls, nothing beyond,

(social media numbers don’t lie on searched characters and many aspects on the owl house.)

if not them but solely for Amity herself. which I felt really was a selfish writing move. Cause I really did love the character until she was written good however shoehorned to being a hollow shel of herself and discourse did no favors.

It irks me to no end cause we have a prominent poc character said previously, who gets not talked about a yet amity is the one y’all favor to? At the point y’all really don’t show y’all don’t care about black, Poc, or BIPOC and there contributions to media.

it pains me to see a show like this has been nothing but a whole show of contradictions and ill-pacing,

And i know why we stand with the ship or any sexuality reveal with any character to gain a following or popularity for that matter is this a good term of how we gotten lgbt media uprising

(which I understand we crave years ago. )

PERFORMATIVE SEXUALITY (Article & Term HERE .)

Not to mention the celebrity worship yall put onto amity herself which is responsible for it

Where gonna make this quick so last session and hoep you have a good one afterwards thanks

The Colorism Issue (Glad fans are speaking out)

Its just facts that we see white or white-passing as something to be congratulated and praised for compared to what poc go through cause we POCs & myself have to work tens time harder for what we want, (one issue for another session is?)

WHY IS THE NOCEDA FAMILY HAVE DIFFERENT SKINTONES?!

FIX IT Titan

For media especially Disney has treated Poc if not BIPOC IN live action if not animation to an extent is degrading, you have kids on jessie acting any way without severe repercussions such as how they Treat BIpoc Characters with utmost disrespect. Which is shown throughout our favorite shows. (also shows how the show loves it kids cause it suffers no consequences.)

Now May wonder why i put in Princess & The Frog

We do see great chemistry to the show and movie example

The similar girl dynamic that will be is Tianna and charlotte

There relationship is done better, I do feel there was little bit of colorism played into this and alas not to mention tiana poc friends characters being black but non existing, however I do feel to a agree they really stretched on how we should have diversity in a negative way which I’ll get into in a sec.

Its at this point charlotte is the sweet spoiled girl and felt amity was favored cause of how she was written that way, they tried to make her favorable because you guess or see she’s WHITE.

Which shows not only poc characters are secondary in animation or forms of media, also how Luz is written in a white space, but with amity

She was gonna be depicted as a favorable one cause of how she was written LIKE CHARLOTTE

(To the point people started seeing charlotte as the main character form princess & the frog.)

Having the cultural representation & also inconsistent characterization shine to the point where we could’ve had great characters shown and debut yet

Have two girls take over the show as a whole really?!

oh reminder the diversity happen yet being sacrificed for a shoehorned lgbt content and activism to the degree it over whlems the show with

amity being a type of reverse mammy to make her look better for luz to counter her spicy latina ways, like a unruly tomboy to kiss the white favored girls booty, knowing full well the fandom will police anyone saying otherwise.

The article I’ll show about gearing our diverse audiences which I feel Disney needs to do a lot better on cultural representation, and harmful stereotypes as this.

ARTICLE ON HOW STEREOTYPES CAN BE IN MEDIA

Hoping I said it well, since there's so much to add to this however hope we can be reasonable on the comment section, so hoping we can have a civil discuss on about this topic thanks for reading this far you have a goodnight and great day where you are

with love kyoko cane

[animentality]

I'm sorry.

I'm just laughing over like... overwatch fans being mad at me for saying their game isn't that fucking great at queer rep.

it has TWO LGBT characters who were openly LGBT as SOON AS THEY WERE RELEASED.

that's fucking Lifeweaver, added to the game in 2023, and Venture-

a fucking nonbinary character who ISNT in the game yet.

do you understand why this is laughable?

overwatch has been around for 8 fucking years and it took a fucking sequel to force them to reveal characters were queer from the get go.

for the past 8 years, they've been queerbaiting mercy and pharah, while hocking how canon gency is, they have been teasing roadhog and junkrat, barely, and I guess.

if you MUST defend blizzard.

you can say well it's ok they did reveal tracer was a lesbian on Twitter and then they admitted soldier 76 was gay literally 3 years after he was released, and then they made pharah a lesbian and baptiste bisexual- literally 7 years after pharah was released and 4 years after Baptiste was.

yeah.

so progressive revealing that in random comics and lore bits that barely show up in game, if they ever do. and I haven't played overwatch in a while, because I have a high degree of respect for myself, but from what I fucking remember, soldier doesn't say shit about his boyfriend, if he even has one, tracer only makes a reference or two to Emily, who might as well be her sister with how mild it was.

and I vaguely recall Baptiste flirting with ana. and pharah as far as I know has never ever said anything about all the hot chicks she dates on the side.

and that's it.

that's your amazing queer rep.

you have two queer characters from the start who were not retroactively made gay, and one hasn't even been released yet.

good work, blizzard.

so revolutionary.

y'all know blizzard is an American company and gay marriage has been legal in the US since 2015?

whereas apex legends literally started OFF in 2019 openly stating hey this character is trans and this one is nonbinary and this one is gay and this one is a lesbian and these TWO literally hit on men and women- oh also the pansexual and nb PLAYABLE CHARACTERS are dating and they flirt and dote on each other in game-

but I'm getting flak from you weirdo blizzard fans who for some reason think blizzard is worth your devotion?

even if it was good at queer rep, I am not sure if fucking blizzard and OVERWATCH 2, one of the biggest monetary scams in all of gaming are the hills you want to die on.

but at least you'll be dead.

[luckylolabug]

I've been sitting on my thoughts since finishing the finale yesterday and I feel like I need to put them into words or I'm going to go crazy with nowhere to voice any of this.

So here's my jumbled thoughts on the HSMTMTS finale as a queer girl who grew up in Utah.

First things first, while I'm not a fan of the cheating arc as a whole, I do think it was at the very least as minimalistic as possible. Do I wish Big Red could have come to terms with his sexuality without kissing someone who has a boyfriend? Yes, of course. Seblos just as easily could still have a misscommunication arc over literally anything else and still ended up with their beautiful duet, while Redlyn could have an amicable breakup over just growing apart over the whole long distance thing.

HOWEVER, that isn't the main takeaway I want to make.

I grew up in Utah, not too far from East High. And even though I left after I graduated High School, there's always a big part of my heart that will always be a Utah girl. ("You can take the girl out of Salt Lake, but you can't take the Salt Lake out of the girl")

As a whole, I wish with all of my heart that I'd had this amount of LGBT rep (especially in Utah of all places) on TV when I was growing up and needed it the most. I'm so incredibly thankful knowing that my nephew back in Utah, and all of the other kids living there, have things like this that they can cheer on. Because being able to see other kids like you on screen, with friends and a support group, and getting a happily ever after? That MATTERS.

LGBT representation has come a long ways over the years, even comparing the original release of High School Musical where they'd wound up awkwardly pairing Ryan with Kelsie to avoid whatever people were saying at the time. Having characters that are HAPPY with who they are, openly, and getting to see those moments where they can be openly affectionate with their significant others and have it not be treated as weird is SUCH a good thing to see now. I only wish it was something I had as a young girl growing up in Utah and hiding who she was because she was scared.

So did I cry? Yeah, I was pretty much in constant tears from about episode 6 all the way up to the For Good post credits scene. Both because I was sad to see it ending, but also because I was just incredibly grateful that it existed at all.

[mahoutoons]

i really do not get all the hatred sonamy fans get in the sonic fandom.

"but they're so toxic!!"

so are all other ship fandoms. i've had experience with toxic shippers of other ships. but you won’t see me generalizing the ship's fandom over them. every ship has its fair share of toxic fans. so why is it that only sonamy fans get all the heat for being toxic? i'm not denying that there are bad eggs in our fandom but i don't think its fair yo act like we're a special breed of toxic. i've seen fans of other ships with r*pe on amy yet people don't use them to generalize the whole ship's fandom.

"they think their ship is canon!!"

in the 2000s-2010s, maybe we did have a lot of fans who thoight that way. but nowadays whenever sonamy fans claim its canon, its always done in a joking way. its what fans lf literally every other ship do. i've seen people jokingly say "x ship is canon" because character a looked at character b funny. but no one ever attacks them for it. so why is it that only we get attacked when a lot of the time we aren't even serious?? we KNOW our ship will never actually be canon. we KNOW sega has no intention of changing their dynamic as of now. we're just having fun with the moments we're given. especially in recent media. why do y'all froth at the mouth over that. don't like it? just ignore and block.

and to be honest? as sonamy is now, it can be considered semi canon. like, give me a platonic explanation of the "amy, i should've made up my mind sooner" line in frontiers. IF sega decides to make them a couple, their dynamic still won't change. it'll still be very subtle except they're actually a couple now and you won't even notice it. and even then no one's stopping you from liking other ships. and if they are, well the block button exists for a reason.

"but the fanfics-"

i have my beef with old sonamy fanfics. but i have a feeling the people who made them were young kids and teenagers. i'll bet a lot of them have grown up now and have better things to do in life. now i hardly see any sonamy fanfic that villainizes sally or makes sonic an asshole for the sake of angst. the more extreme shippers from the 2000s-early 2010s should not be used to judge shippers today.

imagine if i used the sonadow shippers i encountered in 2014 deviantart, who were mostly allocishet girls who shipped them because they fetishized gay men, made both of them extremely ooc (anyone remember the terms seme and uke?), and of course hated amy for getting in the way of their ship, to judge the sonadow shippers of today who are now mostly mellow and enjoy their ship in peace, it wouldn't be fair now would it?

"the age gap is problematic!!"

most of the ages in sonic make no sense! there's a line in sonic forces where infinite claims sonic has defeated eggman for decades, and sonic's only supposed to be 15. granted using sonic forces may not be the best example but it shows how little sega cares about the ages. and now they've even been renoved from sonic channel. AND even ian flynn himself has said not to worry about pairings like sonamy and knuxouge because there's nothing wrong with them.

and i KNOW people are gonna take this to mean "so shipping things like s0nt@ils is okay now??" no, because tails is still coded as a little kid. sonic and most of the cast are coded as teenagers.

there's people who ship tails and fiona, and that's an actual toxic ship with an actual problematic age gap. but they don't get half the heat that sonamy shippers get.

"sonamy is a ship for the cishets"

really now? i guess my lgbt cars has expired guys. maybe that's a good thing because i was born and raised in a country where its illegal to be lgbt and my parents are kinda religious. and even the country where i'm originally from is pretty homophobic despite gay marriage being decriminalized. who knew all it took to solve those problems was to ship sonamy?? thanks guys.

do you see how stupid that logic is? a fucking ship doesn't determine your sexuality. i don't want to kiss women any less because i ship sonamy.

[inukag]

Hello, so I'm not heterosexual (I'm ace) and as you can tell I do like one of those ships in the poll. I thought your language was very harmful. Now, I'm not here to say those characters are nice people but that doesn't mean their fans like them because they are "hetero" and just like a hot guy. They are good characters and had cool dynamics with Kagome (yes that's subjective and you might disagree with it but some people did enjoy it). I do agree that Sango should have been on the poll but there are legit reasons people enjoy darker ships or enemies to lovers trope, they can be engaging to some. So to dismiss it as just "hetero girls liking a hot guy" is very bad. The reason I'm sending you this ask is because I think you are a good person and might recieve well my comment. I considered sending an anon but I wanted you to "see" me as we talk and I hope I don't get any harassment over this from others. Anyway, thank you for reading.

First of all thank you for sending this message non-anonymously! I know it can be stressful but it is definitely better for discussions. If I see anyone sending you hate over this I will fight them personally.

When I said “this fandom is painfully straight” I did not mean “every single person who likes these ships is straight”, that would be ridiculous. But it IS a straight ship. My point is that gay ships are almost never taken seriously in this fandom, as shown by the fact that people ship Kagome with all the male characters she canonically doesn’t like before shipping her with girls that she actually likes. I find that sad. Literally the only gay ship in this fandom that has a sizable fanbase is Inu/sess, but that’s another can of worms.

I’m not here to change anyone’s mind about sess/kag or kog/kag, I’m very much a ‘ship and let ship’ person. Those ships have existed for years so I know very well that me saying “Kagome Higurashi would never canonically love these guys” is not going to change anyone’s mind. So I’ll spare you the whole rant but I’ll say that I’ve read some sess/kag stuff (Raindrops and other fanfics I found years ago) and I’ve never seen Sesshomaru portrayed as anything other than a kind, suave, gentleman who saves Kagome from Inuyasha the toxic, two timer. His canonical racism and lack of empathy for others is gone. So I have a hard time believing people when they tell me they love the ship because it’s a “sexy villain/heroine, enemies to lovers ships” lol. Anyway like I said, I’m not going to change your mind and you won’t change mine, so no need to argue about this.

Also for added context regarding the “gay ships aren’t taken seriously” issue, a couple weeks ago a bunch of people on Twitter (inukag shippers) made tweets saying they were “disgusted” by the fact that many people headcanon Moroha to be a lesbian. That her blushing at and complimenting girls is “not evidence that she’s gay” and that the “real canon” is that she will end up with Koga’s son (who doesn’t even exists in any Inuyasha media!!!). It’s not an isolated issue with Sesshomaru or Koga fans, as I pointed out the people doing this were inukag shippers and they were called out by other inukag shippers. This fandom as a whole is just not the most friendly when it comes to lgbt+ stuff.

So yeah, I have nothing else to add. I don’t see how my language was harmful if I’m being honest. Regardless of people’s own sexual/romantic orientations this fandom mostly talk about and support straight ships. This isn’t really a call to action either, I’m not telling people what to ship, I was just jokingly pointing that out and hoping that next time people would just consider the fact that gay ships exists as well.

Thanks again for the message and I’ll take this time to remind everyone following me that I use the tag #<ship/character>-critical tag when I criticize stuff, so you can blacklist that if you follow me and don’t want to see negativity about characters or ships that you love. I didn’t tag my first reblog of the poll so that’s my bad, I’ll go back and fix that.

[thebigbidea]

Media I've obsessed over throughout the years!!

2010-2019: My Little Pony: FIM

Was definitely my favorite show. I still love that show sm. Definitely has the most active fan base of them all. Making art for this show definitely inspired me to be the artist i am now. -- This show rased me, and raised me good. The older fandom is questionable, there's definitely some generational trama given to us Gen Z by them, but it was a very pro-lgbt space, and i loved this so sm.

Favorite character then: Fluttershy / Now: Trixie

2017-2021: DuckTales!! (Woo-hoo)

Always kinned Louie, and always will. I mean hell, i named my first MLP OC after Lena!! -- I really loved the episodes Quack Pack and GlomTales! (the latter if wich being because is was A. it Louie centered episode, and B. he proved to his mother that his scamming isn't all bad which i was proud of him for). I think i loved him sm just bc, well one, my favorite color has always been green, but two he's so relatable. Like the episode where he wasn't so sure and up to the idea of Della suddenly coming back and being his mom when he'd never even spoke to her once was just so good. Now i can look back and see how it was relatable, but even then when i didn't know what ik now i found him to be the most logical person in that situation.

Favorite character then: Louie (maybe i liked Lena a lot too?) Now: Louie

2019-2023: The Owl House

When MLP ended, this was the show that came in and swooped me up. As of writing, the shows only been officially over for about an hour. And while yes, DuckTales was there when MLP ended, it still definitely made me feel like something was missing. It did take about a season for me to realize TOH was filling that feeling but it got there. This show has probably effected me about as much as MLP. Like through the episode “Lost in Language”, apon watching some reviews and theories on the episode, i found out Luz was bisexual. At the time i hadn't really heard the term b4, but only about a day of finding it out, i was already comfortable going by it! It just fit too well!! I also got my preferred name/s from Emira and Edric!! Sigh, i could write sm about TOH since it literally just ended, but i don't want to be here all day.

Favorite character then: Hunter, Now: The Collector. // Kinnie: Edric and Emira all the way, baby.

2023-???: Welcome Home! @:3

And now we're here. I already know this will be the thing i obsess over for the next 3-4 years, i can smell it. If things wrap up before 2026, i know the fandom will still be alive. Like idk maybe I'll laugh at my naivete in like two years rereading this post but come on!! Everything lines up way too well!! When MLP ended, TOH was there. Not TOH is ending and, oh, what's that?? WH!? I don't think its too unrealistic to think this story can take 3 test to make.. look say DHMIS, The Mandela Catalogue, and the Walten Files!!

...And well i mean if not, South Park has been going to 25 years and strong!! So I'll probably love that.

Favorite character: Julie!!!! (And Frank) // Don't make me pick favs from SP bro they're all so great. :')

Bonuses!!!

2021(-2023?): Loki

Bc of this show, i discovered i was gender fluid :]] I also found a wonderful community from it, and i love all of those people i met!!.. except for J***. You know who you are. Lmao, jokes. But yea, I'm no marvel fan or anything, but i love Greek/Norse mythology.. so it's no surprise i love Thor and Loki as much as i do!

Fav: Owen Wilson.

2021-2022: Inside Job (+ the 2000 other animated shows Netflix cancelled after one or two seasons..)

Yes there are shows that ended justly, like Kid Cosmic and CentaurWorld. They only planned on having two seasons so they ended great and with a banger. But like,, Dead End, and Glitch Techs, and give BNA another season, goddamn it!!

Fav: Brett 1000%

2020(-2023?) And 2021-2022: Animatics and The Cuphead Show respectively

I decided to add these two after ranting in the hashtags bc i just had to. :] Not much to say, i rlly love these shows. Made some art in my sketchbook and sh/t.

Fav: Wakko // Muggsie.

There's so many more shows (on tv, steaming, or online!) I'd live to acknowledge but I'm bored as hell do I'm calling it. Buhbies!!

Fav Series to get to know me a little better.

Saw the post from deaddee-anime-brownfanlady and thought to join in on the fun.

Clarence - For me personally, I think Clarence is absolutely charming and funny. There will always be an episode where I will chuckle at the clever joke or the reference it made towards a show/anime. I even seen episodes where they have collaborations with popular animators and it is done really well. Overall, I think Clarence is a great show and most of it's humor, I use nowadays.

Tales of Arcadia - This trilogy is a big part of who I am, I read the book, I seen all the episodes and including the movie. Even though the movie was a major disappointment for me as a fan, I still recommend this trilogy to people. Not only is Guillermo del Toro a great writer but a amazing filmmaker who gives a good rep for Latinos such as myself. For new viewers out there, I would recommend watch Trollhunters, 3 Below, and Wizards but humbly skip over the movie, it is lackluster and would not satisfy anyone.

Ballmastrz 9009 - Just hearing the whisper of Baalllmastters give me goosebumps to my arms. I love this show created by Adult Swim but all of Cristy Karacas work is incredible. She as a creator made me love Superjail and a appreciate her work. Ballmastrz 9009 is about Gaz Digby who is a celebrity athlete of this game called, "The Game" and is trying to mentor and win with one of the most worst teams.

Disenchantment - Created by the all-well-knowing Matt Groening, of course you heard of his work like "The Simpsons" or "Futurama". Now Disenchantment is one of his underrated works and if you love fantasy and Matt Groening, I'll think you might enjoy it. There is a lot of LGBT representation and lots of mystical creatures. There's even a hot antagonist who is terrifying as hell and speaking of hell Satan is hot, Luci is literally my favorite character. (P.S I just recently finish season 5 a month ago so I'm very excited.)

Derry Girls - Derry Girls is Netflix Original Teen Sitcom TV Show about Northern Ireland and it's conflict, so in every season you can see the political conversations and how much these teenagers life change overtime. I saw Derry Girls when it first came out and honestly I think I cried when it ended, it is such a great show. If you love TV Teen shows with Irish girls yelling at each other and starting conflict then this is the show for you.

The Umbrella Academy -This is one of those shows where I found the visual novel after I saw the TV series and I got to say all the actor did amazing. Such a great series and I absolutely recommend it to any new views out there. If you are interested in people with powers messing up and trying to fix their own mistakes then you will enjoy The Umbrella Academy. I would love to continue but I got lazy. Also having class in a few minutes.

I rewatched ROP in entirety and I do think it's far more cohesive as a whole instead of episodic in that it resolves a lot of the pacing problems I had on first, weekly, watch and also it's more fun to see the hint vs payoff in this way, at least for me.

Then I rewatched the entirety of the PJ LOTR movies just for old time's sake.

And currently I'm rewatching the entirety of the PJ Hobbit movies and you know?

I think my problem is less the feel- it *feels* like a return to Middle Earth and is more of a fantastical fantasy escapade like the book was intended to be as a bedtime story to his son. Of course the overuse of CGI and unnecessary bloat and lazy sound direction (very little original music, a lot of it is reused from the lotr movies, most striking when azog walks towards thorin to the fucking NAZGUL music of all things) complaints remain but the *feel* is fine.

But I think what bothers me most about the Hobbit is the unnecessary changes to the story itself. Azog's dead by the time of the Hobbit in the book, the book specifically says that Thorin's entire line had absolutely no involvement in the fall of Doriath, the company willingly goes to Rivendell (also the elves sing a silly song about how silly the dwarves look with their beards a'wagging), despite being prisoners in Thranduil's halls they're treated well and fed and not put into cells because elves don't torture prisoners (said directly in the book in question), Thranduil had nothing to do with the Nauglamír, an elf with a huge wound like that that presumably hasn't healed in thousands of years is either fading or corrupted by evil, Legolas has never acted Like That ever, holy shit Thranduil would NEVER draw blade against one of his own people over what amounts to a petty squabble have we learned nothing from the kinslayings-

I don't mind the changes that help drive the plot or tie things together. I don't mind the Radagast bits or the Dol Goldur stuff. I don't even really mind the Tauriel bits outside of thinking the dwarf/elf romance is a bit silly and also that they did her actress dirty. I have little nitpicks here and there but I feel they are forgiveable in the long run as they don't really change the feel or the story.

But there's a lot of just unnecessary additions and changes and for what? What was the bit about the necklace needed for? Why shoehorn in a romance you promised both fans and actress you wouldn't do? What is PJ's obsession with making elf lords in the third age be copies of Thingol? What's with the weird transmisogyny- how is it the books were written by a stuff Catholic war vet and have zero canon LGBT representation and somehow manage to be less transphobic than movies made in the modern era? What's with the vegan elves, Thranduil's literally roasting meat during his party before the dwarves drop in? Why did we resurrect a long-dead character when Bolg, his son, is literally right there?

I still enjoy the return to Middle Earth but certainly these massive departures from canon affect every subsequent watch. *That* is what changes the feel for me, because conflicts have been added where there was none, and taken away where there was plenty.

Personally I think the biggest issue I have is that it probably should have been a 2-film journey and not 3, and 3 added time for stupid shit like this.

ND loved Killing Eve last year.

So he saw the ending and went "must I do everything around here *announces Nimona*"

LITERALLY LDKJFLD nd always has our backs

no because i remember they were such a big fan, and they got to work with sandra on she-ra so like?? man i'm so curious what he thinks about this

because nd stevenson worked so fucking hard to get the green light for catradora's happy ending you know? he worked so hard because he understood the power that positive gay representation holds and wore that responsibility with immense courage. he also worked hard to incorporate religious symbolism into she-ra in such a way that it 1) was digestible for young children, 2) would get through dreamworks executive red tape, and 3) would send a very clear, powerful message that gay people do not deserve divine punishment.

AND THEN HERE'S KILLING EVE... a show with basically no red tape in comparison, no limits on what they could do, and they make the deliberate choice to go with a tragic ending and used religious symbolism to......... be artsy. that's literally it. without appearing to have any respect for what religious oppression actually means to lgbt+ people. i can see what they were trying to do but when most viewers take your gay character's death to be a punishment for her sins..... uhh you messed up broski. god i KNOW nd stevenson is fuming over this i just know it 💀💀💀

it's wild that she-ra and killing eve are very very similar shows, yet their finale and overall messages could not be more different. i think it just comes down to having queer people tell queer stories. i'm so grateful for nd stevenson, i'm so grateful for she-ra, my standards for gay rep are so high because of it. which is why i'm not even upset about killing eve honestly lmao i just think it's kind of funny?

it's funny and pathetic how a children's show was able to persevere against all odds to bring hope to a marginalized community, but when presented with the same opportunity on a silver platter, killing eve decided they wanted to be  "edgy." lkjsfldjd okay go off i guess. they're definitely feeling the burn of that mistake now.

i’m not saying i expected the ending to be all sunshine and rainbows obviously like i was actually thinking they would both die together.. ANYTHING would have been better than what they did, though. holy shit.

anyway i love she-ra and being in the she-ra fandom <3

[mixelation]

Supernatural?

send me a fandom and i'll tell you how miserable it is from 1-5

ooooh boy!! this fandom is a carfire. you will slow down on the highway to watch but it's still, you know, a carfire

I actually can't think of any truly rancid SPN fandom corners, the way other fandoms have them? Like I've never run into weird widely prevalent bigotry (you know, aside from what's in the source material and the occasional lone weirdo) and the moral purity people don't really gravitate towards this fandom either. Like, I know it's reported that fans hated Jo and then Ruby for being women and love interests, but I never felt like that was a super prevalent opinion in the online spaces I was in? There did used to be those weird "I'm pro-LGBT rights because I like destiel" people but tbh that was more a pan-fandom tumblr movement that a supernatural thing. Every once in a while you find someone having a meltdown over the existence of wincest?

But, guys. The carfire of this fandom is so entertaining. It's entertaining to the point people are in the SPN fandom fandom. There was the whole "y yo a ti" meme. The US election. They invented omegaverse. Superwholock. The CW being sold. All the weird shit Misha Collins does. All the weird shit his fans do, like the Mishapocalypse. One time I went on someone's blog and they had a post about how wincest was The Most Morally Wrong and therefore shippers are bad people, and then literally the next post was about how it's so funny and cute Dean and Sam are literally murderers. One time I saw someone explain they don't ship the actors because they feel like "they're just friends." I've never seen fans so at odds with their own source material, to the point where there are SPN characters specifically designed to mock the fans. You will be miserable because SPN and SPN fans are completely bonkers but you will like it. You will like it.

Final Rating: 5 - Circle of Hell but I'm drinking margaritas with Crowley

Hello! Sometimes I see you post stuff from IF blogs and I've recently started playing some IF games, which I've enjoyed so far. Do you have any IF stories you'd recommend in particular? I'm not attached to any particular genre and I don't need romance or a self-insert main character, (though I'm not opposed to either). Though, it's a definite plus if it's LGBTQ+ inclusive! I'm not really sure what the "cornerstones" are of IF so I'll take any and all recommendations haha

Oh god, I play so many IFs. So many. And it’s not even close to all of them, but I’m trying!!

Tbh IFs without romance seems to be very rare, I think because when I think IF I think Choice of Games, and those pretty much always have romance in them. At least, the most well known ones do. But a well done one without romance would be nice too!

Okay, this is a list of my favourites! They’re all LGBT+ inclusive, and most have gender selectable love interests, or at least ones that change gender depending on the gender and sexuality combination you pick. In no particular order, of course.  Behind a cut because I’m gonna give them each a mini review. Because I haven’t done that yet.

(There are so many.)

Mind Blind: I absolutely love our big brother Nick, I love how witty and sharp so much of the dialogue is, I love how the MC clearly has a rather large handicap, but is still such an important person to so many people and not looked down on in the slightest. And when they are, we all know it’s because that person is a jerk! They’re not defined by what they aren’t, but what they are, and that’s a great message.

Shepherds of Haven: Part of why I love this one so much is I just love fantasy settings and this one just pulls it off so well. The cast is full of amazing characters, and I gotta say I die inside pretty regularly for not being able to afford the patreon content, lol. The author puts so much amazing stuff on there, and gives us so much great content in the game and through answers on tumblr, and you can tell this whole thing is just the best thing ever to them, and that makes it the best ever for us readers too!

The Wayhaven Chronicles: I’d be shot if I didn’t mention this one, the series that literally killed dashingdon when the book 3 demo dropped!! Again, another author that cares a lot and does their best to do right by their fans. We’ve been given drip after drip of these amazing characters backstories, and I just cannot wait for more! It’s definitely very romance centered, but the overall plotlines are also very good, and I have to say that no matter who I romance, I just feel like the group as a whole is a family. And that’s wonderful.

Speaker: I really like the lore. I really like the lore. I can’t wait until we get more of the overall plotline. Mostly I want my Speaker to get in deep trouble so Seb, Li and Seer (best sister ever) go off and beat the shit out of whatever is causing it. This probably says something about me, but what can I say, I thrive on angst and inflicting near death injuries on my OCs. Sometimes I even kill them, although all of this is offtopic. Or is it? I guess we’ll find out, although I doubt we’ll actually be able to kill off Speaker. And yes, I am definitely playing the Seb & Li poly route. I love them both so much. 

Wilhelmina: I love vampires, ok? Ok? And this one is based off Dracula!! The OG!! And you can choose Drac’s gender!! Shit, sign me up forever!! Yeah, she might be literally killing my bff, torturing my fiancé and low key fucking with my mind, but vampires are hot!! Let me live! Or not. But yeah, this is a really well done retelling of the Dracula novel and I like how well it works as an IF. Did I mention I like vampires?? Especially when they get all monstery?? (This one has an MC with a set gender, as it’s based on an already existing literary figure. Mina can have a same sex relationship with dracula, if you make drac a female, or with Lucy, a female love interest.)

More Things in Heaven and Earth: Hi Nell!! First off, I gotta uncover a deep shame of mine. My family literally has a Shakespeare heirloom collection. As in, my greatgrandfather passed down through the family a collection of Shakespeare that was published in 1911. In ye olde englishe. I tried to read it when I was like 10 and was like what language is this?? What the fuck? What the fuck??? And ended up reading As You Like It, a bit of Romeo and Juliet, and a little of Hamlet. Didn’t touch the rest of it. I only got into the other stories through trashy ya reimaginings. That said, this retelling of Hamlet inspired me to go read the whole of the original and now I have a lot of fears for these characters that I’m so much more attached to, oh god I hope my Ophelia has a happy ending. I hope Hamlet himself has a happy ending. The dialogue is so well done, everyone is engaging, and yeah it made me finish an old af book when nothing else did. (This one also has an MC with a set gender, female, for the same reason. However, there are two gender variable love interests, so you can very much play a bi or gay Ophelia if you so choose.)

Guenevere: I love King Arthur. All the myths. I have so many books based on the King Arthur mythos, oh dear god. I love pretty much every version of it. All the movie and tv shows too! I just can’t get enough of those knights. I could go on for paragraphs about how courtly love worked and how all the different social castes were, but I’ll try not to. This series lets you customize Guen as a character to an amazing degree, considering that she’s also based on an actual literary figure like the other two I mentioned above. It really feels like she becomes your own character, and yet she still exists within this world very very well. I worry quite a bit that the author might have bit off more than they can chew with the current book they’re working on, what I’ve seen of it looks absolutely massive in scale. What is out so far is a wonderful read though, full of drama and laughter and lots of chances to make the story your own.

Bastard of Camelot: Yep! Another King Arthur series! Sue me! This one lets you set Mordred’s gender though, so it’s more inclusive in that way. It is very interesting to play as one of the “bad guys” of the King Arthur mythos. You can play them as straight up evil, as good, or you know, a bit of column a and a bit of column b. Or they can just be a rude little shit. It’s got dragons too! You get a dragon pet! Dragons are cool. It can be a bit tough to play sometimes, since a lot of people dislike Mordred quite a lot because of prejudices. Hopefully this will change a bit later in the series if you’ve been a fairly good person up to that point. Gotta say though, as a warning, that Mordred is a product of incest. It’s not glossed over, and it does cause a lot of problems for them in the story.

God of the Red Mountain: I just love that this inspired me to read more chinese mythology tbh. There is just so much here! And it’s just such a good read. I wish I was better at describing things. The MC being a spirit that you can define, the whole setting, most of the love interests also being spirits, the massive amount of history and culture and lore, how it all fits together. It is such a well done story. I really wish it got more attention than it does. I still miss Big Sister. I still can’t wait to find out more about the foxes, and how we can heal our MC.

The Nameless: Another one that lets you play as something otherworldly. I love the lore behind this one, and I love all of the cast I’ve met. I kind of like that our MC isn’t loved right off the bat, that we’ll have to win over all of our love interests and even the other npcs. I’m up for the challenge! Everything I’ve read on the tumblr for these characters just makes me love them all more tbh. I love how much they’ve written for all of them! Most of all though, I love Oisein. All the art of them is just *chef kiss* and their personality is magical.

A Mage Reborn: This is a really recent one but!! Wow, it’s really well done! That cliffhanger!! Oof!! Not many books literally start with killing your MC off! That takes guts! I told the author this already, but I love the way they formatted this, the way it starts with the end, so to speak, and then fills it all out. It just made everything feel so poignant, how MC is literally looking back at all these moments in time in the last minutes they have before they die. Shit. That’s powerful. And there’s gonna be more??? Can’t wait for that angst. Give me that drama. Of course I picked the one who had me killed, that’s just how I am!

These are all just the COG type games, there are a few twine games with graphics I’d throw on here, but the list is long enough as it is and they feel like they’re in a different category to me. Maybe it’s just me?

hyello ma'am

please answer all of the questions for the book asks :)

love u ❤️❤️

omg I love you. thank you for being the only person who ever send me asks my biggest fan 💕💕

1. book I've read the most times: I reread a lot of books from high school for some reason but I think the main one would be the lunar chronicles

2. top 5 books: I have a real problem with reading books that are just okay and not GREAT so I don't know how to answer this. thst being said I still really like six of crows and also pride and prejudice and Frankenstein <3

3. my favorite genre is either scifi or fantasy

4. section of bookstore I browse: the whole thing, but mainly the fiction and sci/fantasy sections. I I peak in the manga and comic sections

5. I buy books pretty sparingly in recent years. if I do I usually do thriftbooks or barnes and noble because I get gift cards for there

6. I haven't been reading too much the past month but I did just finish a book literally a few hours ago: legendborn. it was actually really good and I hope it ends with a throuple <3. I'm only saying actually because I had to stop reading two other books because I was just having a terrible time with them

7. I've been reading since like late elementary school and have the memory if a goldfish so I have no clue what got me into reading

8. the first book I remember reading would probably be some dr seuss type of shit. I also vividly remember sitting on my moms lap and reading kids books outloud with her but I don't remember what books those are

9. I tend to read fantasy the most

10. I don't really have any guilt with the books I read

11. I like a lot of non fiction but I don't read it too much so I don't have an actual answer for this

12. I really enjoyed Frankenstein in high school! that's pretty much it though

13. I used to have a goodreads but I ended up deleting it and using storygraph instead. I've been using that app since before it had an actual app for androids

14. I don't usually dog ear because I think it's fun to use random things as bookmarks. but i do underline or highlight things in some of my books. the main reason I don't mark up my books is because I get lazy with it so the beginning and end of a book will have lots of comments and the middle is completely barren (ie. my copy of the darkest minds)

15. I guess I'll review legendborn since that's the last thing I read. I was pretty into it from the start and then when the whole king arthur stuff first got introduced I was pretty 🙄 but I liked the main character and was interested in the mystery of her mom so I kept reading and im pretty glad I did. the writing was fun and I liked some of the characters. I think the author wanted me to care about more characters than I did which is my bad but in my defense some of them were really flat and gave me nothing to work with. I also liked how casually gay and non binary people were. this book was kind of littered with lgbt which was nice to see

16. I have fully read 10 books this year. started like 5 other ones and dropped two of them so not too bad

17. I don't really have any children's books to recommend

18. I do like period books, really any time period

19. most disliked popular books: I recently read strange the dreamer and hated it. I'm not sure how popular unearthed by megan spooner and amie kaufman (the starbound series bitches) is but I quite literally hated it. some others right off the dome explanations at the ready if asked: one flew over the cuckoos nest, you, the whole of the throne of glass series (unfinished to this day), anthem by ayn rand, the catcher in the rye

20. there's isn't anything that I look for specifically in books. it's mainly vibes. buy I do mainly go for women authors and if I pick up a man's books I try to gage if he'll be sexist or not

[bobamania]

this challenge but it's mlp but i haven't watched anything beyond season 6 episode 4 (minus the finale). also i'm going to ramble too much NOT SORRY!!

blorbo: it was rainbow dash for the longest time because ykno she's awesome and cool and all that shit. also lgbt literally my gay awakening. but at the end of the day it's APPLEJACK<3 i've always loved her myyy country gal. there was this fanmade song called applejack and i ate that shit up i was fucking obsessed with it and i didn't stop listening to it like it was my oxygen. i love my country gal so much my sweetie pie my honey. also i kid you fucking not i had to pause the mlp finale for an HOUR because i had to calm myself down like APPLEJACK AND RAIMBOW DASH GOT MARRIED....HOLY FUUUUUCKKKK... HHE??HEHRJDKDJD oh mygod

that was in the PAST tho like waaayyy back when i was still really into mlp. i am now officially announcing that shining armor is my new blorbo. congratulations sir

skrunkly: RUMBLE. is his full name rumble lane idk but look at him okay justtt .. Just look at him. he looks like the sweetest little boy ever. you just wanna pinch his cheeks and give him cookies and give his forehead a big ol' kiss that leaves a red kissmark like grandma does. this sweetheart activates my Inner Granny. also i read thru the mlp wiki and read most of the plot & apparently my little rumbly bumbly gets his own episode???? and it's SO GOOD????? hoooo be still my weak heart

scrimbo bimblo: big mac and shining armor #TBH 😖 sorryyyy i'm an only child and i've always wanted brothers hoooweee. i liked them back then for very different reasons as i do now. they're generally appreciated ig like they're not hated on or anything but i never really see them being mentioned as someone's fave?? give my men apprecation

and BRAEBURN!!!! I FORGOT ABOUT HIM FOR A SEC!!! MY FUNNY BOY!!!! can you see that i have a type i'm so sorry

...and soarin. LISTEN GUYS I JUST LIKE STUPID MEN (except for mac he's the only sane one here)

glup shitto: applejack aka best background pony NAHH just a funny lil jokesies :) that totally went over my head as a kid and i got genuinely offended bcs shes a main character!!! OMG youre so mean to her

i have several glup shittos actually. mlp was my biggest hyperfixation so i even memorized most of the background ponies. apple fritter my cute gal. rumble counts since all the content of him that i had bAcK iN mY dAy was his little scene in hurricane fluttershy. thunderlane should count too. candy apple. rose. lily valley.

does anyone remember the S5 episode slice of life? of course u do. it's definitely a fan favorite. i loved it so much. iconic. and the brief scene with the staff wearing horse masks... yeah that ep was so fun.

poor little meow meow: zephyr breeze 😅😅 i haven't watched his episode but i kinda know what kind of character he's like and tbh he's so fucking pathetic....

the EVIL ones tho.. early seasons discord aka before he got annoying and weak despite being the so-called GOD of chaos. ugh. pls he got so fucking annoying. celestia didn't need to turn him into stone. give him a chinese finger trap and he's dead. oh and king sombra. i think he appears in later seasons and i would like to put a disclaimer that sombra does not exist to me beyond season 6 episode 1-2. tbh i dont think he appears there but u get my point. i have a horrible feeling that they'll make him goofy like they did to discord. and DAYBREAKER!! i forgot that ive watched that ep. she's powerful. it's ok. i <3 women

horse plinko: zephyr breeze, he's pathetic and helpless. he is literally like this one guy on tiktok that i can't fucking remember but i'll get back to this when i find his videos. shining armor, i like seeing chad types in peril. discord, he's silly. sunburst, he's also silly. pinkie pie, she's crazy just like me.

i would also like to literally see these goofballs in a plinko.

eeby deeby: spike with wings (especially post timeskip spike). he deserves nothing.

[bidokja]

I feel like orv ebook coming out revised will also change the webtoon (as in it would probably be based on revised edition instead of original) so ig time to prep myself for being called stupid and fetishizers somewhere down the line by the webtoon readers for dokhyuk and lgbt rep in orv lol

well. i agree that it will probably affect the webtoon, and i honestly think that what singshong is doing with their edits surrounding YJH and KDJ is bad and homophobic.

but i would definitely not go so far to say ORV originally has LGBT rep in it, at least not in any good way. singshong do NOT deserve any pats on the back for how they wrote anything even slightly related to characters being LGBT. literally None of it is good or respectful.

like. while i, personally, do believe KDJ is bisexual, and that there's plenty of things in canon that support that...it's not like that's ever trully canonically confirmed. and it's not just "oh he's bisexual he just doesn't say the Word". we don't even get that level of implicit confirmation, because everything is intentionally vague.

even the whole incident with Fate and "the one he loves most" was arranged so that "the one he loves most" could be interpreted as either the entire KDJC or YJH specifically. and so that the "love" mentioned was never solely or explicitly romantic whatsoever. while it's possible to interpret it as romantic love for YJH, that is not the only possible canon interpretation for it, you feel.

and like. people need to realize that they made it vague like that on purpose. not to give us readers the thematic freedom over the story, but because gaybait like that - where its vague enough for fujos to confidently cling to it AND for homophobes to plausibly deny it AND for LGBT people to start hoping for more - draws in a wider audience. it's the same thing for the relationship between Uriel and Gabriel. it's all intentionally vague, and i promise you that is Not for the benefit of LGBT readers hoping for it to be canon lmao.

and this bait happens in many moments throughout the series. for example, the "Companions of Life and Death" is never explicitly romantic companionship in nature. Midday Tryst is also a form of gaybait just from the name. The bait is also in the form of Jokes (at gay/bi men's expense) about other characters thinking KDJ and YJH are together when they aren't.

moving on from that, the only confirmed trans rep we have is JHY and Nirvana. JHY's identity is handled Horribly, especially at first. her revealed gender identity is treated with confusion at best, as well as outright transphobia multiple times from both KDJ and YJH. it's also transphobic for Nirvana to be a predatory TGNC stereotype, with the way they act towards YJH as well as YJH's reactions.

i don't think i even have to mention like. Anything involving Loki and how extremely and violently transmisogynistic That One Scene was especially.

as much as i - as a bi trans man - like to draw from these negatives and reform them into positives in any fan-works i make, it needs to be said that singshong did not make ORV with LGBT people as a tatget audience, and almost entirely uses negative tropes and gaybait. they do not get credit for simply including LGBT characters when they write them like this. they don't get the benefit of the doubt from me: i don't think for a second that their intent was to make LGBT character for the sake of representation. LGBT characters in ORV are just for bait, for making fun of, and for violence. that's literally it.

like. i know thats a downer. i get it. but the reality is that singshong are not on our side. theyre not our friends. and theyre not do their best while being flawed. there's no effort put in for LGBT people. none.

that being said, of course i still really do like the story and themes of ORV, and of Course i'm still gonna be making a ton of LGBT-centric ORV content. and of course it's not like platonic bonds are any lesser than romantic bonds in real life. but like. these arent real people, theyre characters without agency and who are written by imperfect people. we need to be critical and realistic if we are to responsibly indulge in this series (and Any media). it sucks and it hurts, but we can't just ignore all the bullshit singshong does and go "lgbt rep!!" simply because they include a few LGBT characters.
