My Unpopular Opinions of 2018

This is messy, a bit mean, and full of my mad/irritated feelings. You’ve been warned. No slipping into my asks as an anon to fight with me because I’ve posted this on my account. These are my opinions and I’ve already said that they aren’t that nice to some shows

1) Charmed and Black Lightning are the only good CW shows and it has the best lesbian rep of 2018 (and Rosa from b99 would be the best bisexual rep)

2) Melanie Scrofano/Wynonna Earp is the best part of Wynonna Earp. Honestly lately the rest of the characters for me have either awful or boring or funny but given nothing to do

3) Also even though she’s the main actress, Melanie is somehow the most underrated actress/character in the show. She’s disregarded by so many fans, either in favor of Wayhaught or Doc, and the show treats her like shit by constantly putting her with Doc

4) Descendants fans who pit Dove Cameron and China Anne McClain against each other in the hopes of making the other seem superior are doing absolutely nothing for their careers and are contributing to the unnecessary comparison between successful women

5) Also I don’t care if you don’t like Dove Cameron, but hating her for that Mal/Harry comment she made months ago is so fucking ridiculous. She’s a girl in love who also loves her character, god forbid she make her own headcanons for it, and it wasn’t like she was asking for it to happen (and no she wasn’t disregarding Mal’s current relationship Ben because she was talking about Mal and Harry being exes god damnit)

6) I can’t believe i have to say this in 2018 BUT STOP WITH THE INCEST STORYLINES! IT AIN’T CREATIVE OR SURPRISING BITCHES JUST GROSS

7) ALSO STOP SHIPPING INCEST GOD PLEASE STOP

8) Timothee Chamalet or whatever his name is, isn’t that great. Like he’s fine I guess but like....Have you seen other actors? I mean, there’s Fady Elsayed, Jack Black, Jordan Renzo, Greg Austin (rip Class), and so many more actors that are, in my opinon, significantly more talented

9) Letterkenny and Galavant are the best comedies out there

10) Riverdale is shit for erasing Jughead’s asexuality and queerbaiting fans at the beginning with Beronica

11) I’ve said this before, but people disliking Cole Sprouse because of the abuse allegation against him is incredibly valid.

12) Mike Flanagan, Jordan Peele, and Kate Siegel are the only people I trust to write some bone chilling horror stories

13) The Haunting of Hill House is better than American Horror Story and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrine combined

Now it’s time to get serious.....

14) I have no respect and cannot get along with people who talk about how ugly people are

15) The hellsite is shit for so many reasons but some of its worst qualities are when people take a situation and make it black and white, have zero sympathy or empathy for other people, and twist peoples words and put in meanings that were never there

16) I also hate how how people only care about mental illness when it doesn’t come to their jokes or memes. For example, mental health has been talked about a lot in regards to Ariana Grande, which is good, but once her engagement with Pete Davidson ended, no one hesitated to attack him in almost every way possible even though the man has been very outspoken about his depression. I don’t know shit about Pete Davidson but I’ve seen him relentlessly be attacked and have his depression and suicidal thoughts be joked about.

17) Stanning is a fucked up culture that we need to leave behind in 2018. There are some celebrities who have a lot of projects that I love and I admire their talent, but the concept of stanning either includes an unhealthy amount of devotion to a celebrity or it erases them as a human being and reduces them down to objects. In some cases, both of these are true. It’s a sick thing for both fans and the celebrities. If a celebrity does something wrong, call them out, and if they don’t listen, well forget it or move on. Cancelling them as if they can be thrown in the garbage and disposed of promotes negativity and hatred, which is doesn’t solve anything, and it can inhibit any growth from that celebrity. They are human and will inevitably fuck up. It’s the only way to learn and grow.

18) This is about Wynonna Earp but it’s a serious post. I’ve made my thoughts about this show abundantly clear but there is one thing I haven’t talked about at all and that’s the racism in the show and in the fanbase. Disclaimer: I am white. This show hasn’t treated any of their poc or black characters well. The latest example would be the treatment of Dolls and Kate. The last two seasons Doc has had two women of color as his love interests, and both of these characters have been treated as objects to make Wynonna jealous. There is also the lack of story and villainization of these women. There is also the major lack of story with Dolls, which most likely led to Shamier Anderson’s decision to leave. I won’t get into anymore, this is how I’ve always viewed these poor storylines, but I will say this: white fans of Wynonna Earp, we do not get a say on how black viewers should feel about any of these storylines. White lesbians, you would be livid is Waverly or Nicole were killed, and rightfully so. Black people or people of color probably felt the rage you would’ve felt if you lost one of those characters when Dolls was killed off. Telling people to get over it is cruel. If people want to stop watching, that is their right. We have no place in telling them how they should feel about the treatment of their representation.

19) I made this post a while ago but it holds true: https://uhhhhhhokay.tumblr.com/post/179314393735/shows-with-good-lgbt-rep

20) Everyone needs a break from social media. I know that for some people, it really helps because we have friends on here that we can talk to, but it also has so many negative effects. The real world is nothing like this toxic website. You should take breaks from it every once in a while. You need to get hobbies. You need some other past time than this website. The majority of people on this site aren’t good and everyone should take a breather from it. I take breaks from this site on a regular basis and when I do it feels so fucking good.

21) Random but The Lodgers is the worst movie ever and it’s an even worse horror movie. Would not recommend. Unless you feel like roasting something for an hour and a half. The only good part about watching that movie was that I watched it with my roommate who I am good friends with and we laughed our asses off and made fun of it so much. It is truly awful. Even though I had a blast roasting it, I will never get that time of my life back.

22) The Last Jedi does not deserve that 91% on rotten tomatoes. Just like how The Lodgers deserves far less than 56%.

23) Time to get serious again. I get that a lot of us wished that the shows we loved were real, but they aren’t. That’s a fact that everyone needs to realize and accept. To me, hating an actor for their character’s actions is just as fucked up as stanning. They aren’t their character. They are not responsible for the shit their characters pull. They are carrying out the story written for them. As for writers, sometimes the writers do not support their characters actions either. Just because the character is evil or mean or whatever does not always mean that the people who work behind the curtain support that.

24) Shipping real people and harassing them is sooo inappropriate and messed up. I shouldn’t really have to explain this one but too many people on this site don’t seem to grasp it. I mean, didn’t Harry Styles say a while ago that all the smutty fanfics, tweets, and fanarts about him and his bandmates effect his friendships with him? Him reacting that way is not homophobic, btw. It is him reacting naturally to people fetishizing and sexualizing him and his friends. These are real people. Their relationship, sexuality, and god just so much of their lives is none of our business. They don’t owe us any information about their personal lives. We don’t own them. They are their own people, which also means that they make their own mistakes.

25) Random again, but original Charmed fans put their show too high of a pedestal. I never got really into show. I tried it, think I watched half of the first season, and I did a little research on it and I was in the fanbase for a hot sec but it was very short. From my research, it seems to me, that for a feminist show, the cast (except Shannon Doherty) was the opposite behind the scenes. I know you can’t help who you don’t like but you can control how you talk about someone, especially to the public, and from what I’ve seen there’s been more negative comments from them about their castmates than positive. I don’t think anyone will know the whole story but to me the feud between the og’s leading ladies has always very catty to me, and it’s gotten even worse with the remake. You can be protective of your show without being rude. You don’t have to support the remake, and you can do that without being rude either. By the way, this is more directed towards Holly Marie Combs, who I believe has been the most outspoken about being against it. Three young actresses are doing the job they love and they were given a chance to be the new charmed ones for a new generation. There is no reason to be so negative about it. It looks even more immature when you see the cast of the original Sabrina who gleefully gave their support to the new cast.

26) Adults please stop thinking every show is for you. it’s not. Some shows are for kids, some shows are for teenagers, and some shows are for you. If you enjoy the show that’s directed towards a younger audience then that’s great. If you don’t enjoy it, then that’s fine too. What is not fine is you acting like that show was meant for you and tearing it apart and bullying people of that directed age group online. I can’t believe the amount of times I’ve seen some 19-40 year old dipshit on the internet go and bully a 15 year old only because they said they loved a show. That is not only sick and immature but it’s uncalled for.

27) Also 15 year olds or younger, do not use your age as an excuse to be mean either. You might be young and you will definitely make huge mistakes, but there’s is nothing to justify you telling someone to kill themselves or insulting them just because they don’t like your favorite character or something. You might not be as experienced as some adults, but you’re old enough to know what the fuck you’re doing and how wrong it is. Don’t be cruel and blame it on you being young and stupid. You maybe young and all of us will always be a bit stupid, but that does not excuse your behavior. And @ older people who do that shit too, your older age and power does not excuse your cruelty either. Nothing excuses telling someone to kill themselves. Ever. Especially if it’s over a goddamn tv show.

28) Can Ryan Murphy please just make one tv show and stick with it until it ends? He has so many great concepts but because he wants to do all of them at once they all go downhill after one season.

29) On the same but different note, fuck Ryan Murphy for having Violet and Tate get back together. My girl deserves better than a serial killer/rapist that also got her mom killed because he impregnated her with the anti christ. Fuck that.

I never intended this to be so long lol no one will read this

30) The Hormone Monster is literally a metaphor for hormones. Stop twisting it into pedophilia. That show is so sex positive and is so much better than most of the sex ed that we got.

31) Let’s leave monster fucking behind please

32) Puzzles are a treat to do

33) Funko pops are cute but they make a lot of dumbass decisions regarding which ones to make (like I saw pops of that new nutcracker movie a while before it was released like maybe wait and see how it does first????)

34) Also lets stop thinking of ships/shows as a way to up yourself as more progressive or whatever. We all have our trash shows and ships, stop acting like a saint. Just because someone has a trash ship, does not mean they are lesser than you.

35) Fanbases are usually always trash. This didn’t change at all in 2018.

36) Class’s first season was significantly better than Torchwoods first season. You guys are just mean.

37) While I adore Class, Patrick Ness’s dialogue was really YIKES sometimes (the Charlie April deleted scene nearly killed me). Overall it was good though because it was the closest depiction of how teens speak.

38) Also any teen drama show that has a teen speak seriously in a hashtag should burn in hell (if a hashtag is used in dialogue as joke then it’s fine because it’s funny)

39) An actor being on a show you don’t like does not warrant hate

40) It’s been two years since Class but still, fuck the dw fans who were/are so mean to the class actors, especially Vivian Oparah and Sophie Hopkins.

I think that’s it.

why do you like luche the douche so freaking much???? btw somehow i remember the mp actor from a CK ad ???? idk maybe you can google it lol

Greg Blackford was Luche’s motion capture artist, yes. And Luche was modelled after him. I hope I got it but he’s a model represented by a managment in London? Anyway, it’s not supposed to be about the actor, but the character! (Click here for portofolio infos!)

I feel like the whole Luche the Douche is a meme now. Maybe we should trademark it.

!!!!My opinion incoming!!!!

First of all, we should tackle which characters I tend to dislike: Bubbly happy characters jumping around all the time and giggling their hearts out. I won’t deny, even if those characters have a deep past or dark development I find it hard to grow fond of them.Characters who let their emotions take over their actions and who forget how stupid their actions are as a result. Personally, Libertus just didn’t do it for me. To have him as the only survivor of the Kingsglaive makes me.. mad? But it’s easy to dislike a character you hate who even survives. So let’s not focus on Libertus too much.

So what am I searching for in a character?Intelligence, logic, coherency, maturity. I want the brain, the facts, the truth.

What else appeals to me?Mystery. Psychology. Mental extremes, maybe even illness. Twisted personalities.

Who might be additional interesting characters?Kent (Amnesia)Rafe Adler (Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End)Sebastian Castellanos (The Evil Within)Shunsui Kyoraku + Aizen Sosuke + Starrk (Bleach)Yusuke Kitagawa (Persona 5)IGNIS MOTHERfuCKIN SCIENTIA + Cor Leonis (FFXV)Shimada Hanzo (Overwatch)

They all have at least one thing I want in a character. Maybe even more. Or maybe they just hit the fuckin’ jackpot (KEnT And IGniS)

Listen, me being interested in fictional characters and me actually communicating with real people is different.Real life: In order to protect yourself, people like Luche are to be avoided. They will kill you without any hesitation if they consider it to be the right way to go. I can’t deal with toxic or sick people because I never learned how to do so. So I should avoid them.Fiction: I can safely inspect peope who’d normally do more harm than good. Fiction gives us the chance to experience events without being part of it. We are the audience. We are emotionally moved by what’s happening on screen but it’d never harm us as if we were part of it.

So what do I want to say?I don’t like Luche as a human being (as I do not approve of his actions) but I like him as a character.

Is Luche appealing to me referring to his appearance? Yes.Does it contribute to me liking him? Absolutely.Does it settle him being my favorite Glaive? No.

It’s his character which keeps me interested. @blue-pisces brought up his appearance tends to indicate he’ll eventually turn “evil”. His profile pictures makes him look like a snake, waiting for his turn. But they also state there are real people out there who aren’t as violent as him. Take his motion capture artist for example. Only because Greg Blackford looks “evil” doesn’t mean he is.

I quickly grew to dislike Libertus as I couldn’t understand his actions. He’s driven by emotions, letting them override more logical decisions. But then there’s Luche. I assume you saw my post, anon. I said all Luche is doing is stating the facts numerous times. Such as:-The Kingsglaive being overwhelmed during the opening sequence. So Luche requests back up and reminds everyone of the importance of the mission.-Niflheim had the chance to crush the wall, but the empire played with its food, the Glaives and people living there.-Insomnia will fall if the King doesn’t follow the offer of Niflheim.-It’s not about the Glaives’ opinion when the King accepts the peace treaty.

Luche contrasts Libertus so well. And while I turn away from Libertus, I turn towards Luche. One of the reasons why I like him.

Another aspect I liked was Luche being the right hand of Drautos. So Luche is important! Drautos turns to him when he arrives at the scene so we get the idea Luche is spoken to for a reason. He also considers himself being a leader for the Glaives. Notice it’s not necessarily the other Glaives thinking of him as a leader. They respect him and trust in his decisions, but it’s already hinted at him feeling delusional.And this is were the major appeal comes from.

It’s somewhere in his behaviour, his actions, his expressions and the way he copes with the events.I don’t blame the Glaives for turning on Insomnia. Imagine seeing everything else erupting into flames and you losing your home. And what can you do? You experience the citizens despising you and you have to follow the order of someone who’s generally seen as lingering on the throne probably picking his nose. The traitors didn’t see the King’s struggle. I even consider us, the audience, seeing the King’s pain the main reason why we dislike the traitors. We show empathy towards the King who’s trying to keep as many people as possible alive. But then you have some stoic, dumb Glaives spitting onto the ground and rebelling. And we can’t feel for them because the King is presented in such a likeable fashion. (The fact he’s the protagonist’s father shown as a caring man in trailers doesn’t help.)

We should take a closer look at his monologue and the way he reacts to his words.

Luche: ”You’ve got some fight in you, Nyx. I’ll give you that.”

He’s even grinning! Loosely waving the pistol around while Nyx is choking and suffering from a hollowpoint.

And even while he kicks Nyx (the hero we all learn to love, mind you) and while we hear something crack upon impact, he continues grinning! Like a fuckin’ maniac!

Luche: “I can’t believe you’re still moving with that hollowpoint in you. All Crowe could do was scream - when one tore her insides apart.”

How does he even dare to bring up Crowe now? He shot a fellow Glaive and lets Nyx suffer in front of his eyes. And doesn’t seem to care.But when Nyx asks for a reason, we get one:

Luche: “Because the Kingsglaive is nothing! An old man’s battle fodder sent to die in Insomnia’s war while our homes are bound and shackled!”

I can’t blame him for turning to the Nifs. Lucis is losing, not able to change anything about the Glaives’ homes suffering during the war. Which is exactly frustrating Luche to no end.So much he blocks everything else off.He claims the existence of the Kingsglaive is nothing, as it means nothing. But Luche forgets the King only did what was necessary. The King needed military forces to protect his territory so he picked up the hungry people, those who are ambitous to fight back. By the end, Luche didn’t see that anymore. Luche was lost in the empty promises of home and peace by the empire, the seemingly stronger force in this useless battle. And Luche followed the orders he got, the orders he thought to be the right actions to take.Let’s just add the fact he’s hungry for power and we have a totally morally unacceptable, cruel bastard shooting friends because he thinks it’s the right thing to do.

So I basically highlighted how much of a bad person he is. You see, anon, this is the reason I love him. He’s twisted and I want to know what exactly is going on in his head. Why is he so chill about the entire situation? Why does he deal with Crowe’s death as if it was just some dust gone with the wind? Doesn’t he care? Didn’t he care?

Am I sad about his death? Absolute fuckin’ no! When he turned into smores, I snorted. “Your own fault” I even said. I think his death was necessary.

I was more devastated when Pelna died because I related to him. I understood his words. But I didn’t relate to Luche which is why I wasn’t feeling sadness.

But I also understand why people hate Luche! Some people dislike logic and want to see emotions.Other fans loved Crowe as we already got a good idea of her being a strong character being able to kick ass. But with her being shot by Luche (who doesn’t even care about having done that), they have a reason to hate Luche.

Though you shouldn’t forget:One person’s craziness is another person’s reality.

I’m not asking you to accept, like or love him. Show understanding towards the reasons which might make him an interesting character.If you dislike Luche, continue to dislike him! I for my part will gladly have people explain their love of Libertus to me as I hope to learn more things about the character I can’t see!But then again, I feel like you only asked for an explanation and meant no harm, darling. I’m sorry if I unknowingly attacked you!

I absolutely loved giving a proper response and I hope I enlighted you a bit.

To everyone else: I don’t bite. I love questions like this!
