#question leak

[solitairedeere]

i was never as optimistic about the ending of bnha as some villain stans were, but i never thought it'd end so badly it left me wondering why horikoshi ever bothered to humanize the villains or make them complex characters at all.

like-- i expected that at least 1-2 of the 3 villains who were heavily foreshadowed and outlined by the narrative as people to be saved would be, you know, actually saved. i didn't think that was a high bar. i've been let down before in fandoms where everyone was certain a character would live and then they didn't, so i tried to keep my hopes low. AND YET.

what happened to tomura was upsetting, but i wasn't that shocked after how disinterested the manga has seemed to be in him for like, the past 100 or so chapters. a bit surprised, because you'd think if anyone would succeed in the 'saving' mission it would be the MC, but whatever. dabi, well, they've spent a lot of time showing the way his quirk destroys his body even before this arc, so that also sucked but at least it didn't feel completely out of left field.

........but they're not even letting toga live???

i just-- what have we even been doing here? when zero out of the 3 characters that were marked out for saving were actually saved, you have to acknowledge that something has gone seriously fucking wrong with the storytelling. not even just from the perspective of a villain fan but from the perspective of someone who likes stories to be thematically consistent or satisfying in any way.

you can set up an expectation of these characters being saved and then subvert that and turn it into a tragedy- if done well that could even be worthwhile and interesting. but you can't turn it into a tragedy and then just... keep trucking along with the happy ending messaging and act like anything in the manga has been resolved and that the characters have somehow successfully completed their heroic origin stories.

like, maybe i shouldn't have expected this much from a shounen- at the end of the day it is still a shounen so i didn't expect to feel that it truly satisfactorily wrapped up all the themes it brought up around societal ills. but i expected it to at least resolve those things in a shounen-y way where they punch the problems and help these specific people and then you can feel good assuming that the state of things will continue to improve in the post-canon world of the manga.

instead we got... uh, none of that. the story refused to answer a single one of the larger questions it's been outlining for the past 400+ chapters. in the end, it was all flash and no substance, which again could've been fine, if it weren't for the way the story seemed to spend significant chunks of time trying to delude you into thinking it had substance.

truly makes me wonder what horikoshi thought he was doing the entire time. can it really all be blamed on burnout? the most that can be said for this ending is that it is, well, an ending. fuck dude, it is that.

and that's just... such a sad way to end a project that took up 10 years of your life.

Me: Is the Culling Game over? What happened to Tengen? What happened to Japan being invaded and Tokyo being in ruins? How will they rebuild their lives?

Gege: A school of New Shadow Style users was secretly controlling jujutsu society all along as a power equal to the big three clans and sucking their students life force. But don't worry, Mei Mei killed them all and Kusakabe is the new head, so everyone can use Simple Domain now :)

Spoilers for House of the Dragon 2.08 / leaked scene

And if I refuse? Will you burn me as you did Aegon? That is a lie.

[gojosbf]

don't ask a jjk fan who their fave character is because it'd be either someone dead or someone soon to be dead

[cable-salamder]

Oh yeah is anyone gonna inform pinterest ninjago (pinjago???) of what’s going on or are we just gonna leave them in the dark until they see some new pictures from the leaked eps

Next week in jjk leaks:

I don't care what anybody says Marinette having a little date with Adrien just the two of them at her ex-boyfriends house is such a power move.

On one hand it does seem like Mattel has something against Cleo because all of her gen 1 style collector dolls have been bad, but on the other hand she has a lot of collector dolls, on par with Draculaura if I'm not mistaken, so they can't hate her that much.

I just don't get why they have such a hard time capturing her style. Every collector doll she's gotten, her face has looked completely different, and nothing like her original face up. And I think out of all the characters, her style in gen 3 is still pretty similar to gen 1, and she's had some banger gen 3 dolls as of late. Yet her gen 1 style dolls outfits really do look akin to to gen 2, maybe late stage gen 1 if we're being generous.

OH MY FUCK WILL IS A WIZARD!

Stay with me now, I made a post a month-ish ago analyzing D&D in stranger things (which I recommend you read *winkity wink*), specifically addressing the party’s characters. We all know that Mike said that Will is a cleric in s2 to Max. BUT, it can be confusing because will’s character is named “Will the Wise” and he is dressed like a wizard. One might be able to argue, “well his name and clothes don’t mean that much to his class” well yeah you’d be right. But one thing that DOES showcase the class of a character is the moves they are able to make.

Clerics are able to cast spells based on the domain they occupy/the god they serve. To my knowledge, wizards don’t really have this problem of needing to be in a certain domain to cast a certain spell.

In s1 ep 01 Will casts fireball, a spell that can be cast by a Wizard or a Cleric, if they occupy the light domain. Recently I saw a post that showed this screenshot from s2

And I noticed the spell that Mike was talking about in his story. Fog Cloud is a spell that can be cast by multiple classes but most notably by Wizards and Clerics in the Water Domain.

It’s not very practical for a Cleric to occupy multiple domains for storytelling aspects but also, it makes the Cleric’s gameplay just a little overpowered.

So basically, Will probably isn’t occupying two domains and is more likely a Wizard. Which begs the question, why did Mike say he was a cleric?

TLDR; Two spells specifically mentioned in the show to be casted by Will can only be casted by him if he is a Wizard or Cleric occupying multiple domains, which doesn’t really make sense.

Hello again, Rotomblr.

Let me say, I am very impressed at the amount of reception my prior poll got, I believe it’ll be good if I continue doing this.

For my second week poll, considering recent events with an old friend of mine.

(Reminder, I, nor anyone else, can see who responds in a poll. Respond truthfully, please.)

Feel free to answer, reblogging with an explanation garners more attention, which garners more answers. Reminder this is about your current region, though if you have anything to say about a prior region that’s also fine.

fascinated by how willingly literally any "leak" is accepted as most likely true right now. the process looks more like immediately buying it and then you have to prove it's not real instead of the other way around

idk if people just aren't aware of how questionable even the most 'reliable' leaks are. and i mean reliable as in, say you yourself personally know someone who works on the show (not even mentioning anything that goes through a second person on twitter here you're already dealing with at least two people in the chain of relaying that information to you with personal agendas and biases). it'd still be questionable what they tell you

a single production member or extra etc already won't have access to the whole season scriptwise but even that aside you're essentially playing a giant game of telephone (? is that what it's called in english) where you're not only relying on people hearing info right but also a) caring enough about all details equally so they don't just forget half of the info that's not interesting to them but could change the entire context and b) that their personal biases aren't influencing how they rely it to you, like downplaying something they're not enthused about or hyping something up that has is a blink and you miss it in the show, potentially even subconsciously, everyone will have more to say about something that piques their interests, be it characters, plot threads, ships, etc

and all that still ignores that this is about Netflix's #1 show, productions of that size and public interest don't solely bank on Extra89 sticking to their NDA and not talking to someone. for example even back for s4 we already saw the actors have unique scripts with their names plastered over the pages, these are not things anyone on set is catching quick glances of.

and that is STILL excluding the fact that the chance of there being "planted" leaks this seasons is SO high imo. with it being the final season i wouldn't be surprised if they weren't taking chances and intentionally spreading wrong ideas among paparazzi and people coming to set (they could easily even tell extras/crew members contradictory info about context or things that don't concern their specific work)

and on top of all that... people also just like to lie for attention too. everyone and their mom has "credible sources"

Al Ghul enjoyer PKJ as writer and Rebirth Nightwing artist Javi Fernandez for the new Batman and Robin team…fascinating…

this new run is distinctly darker in tone just based on the summary alone, but i’m so curious how “a different way to help the world begins to present itself” could mean for Damian!!

So this does have spoilers for boothill's story, but it's more of a question. Still gonna tag it as spoilers, though

Do not read if you care about spoilers!

So, as most know, that boothills story was leaked, cool, it's depressing as hell. Anyway, I've been trying to figure out what exactly boothill's name was before. we have a small hint but its not extremely helpful?

I mainly want to figure it out cause writing headcanons and stuff for before would be kinda hard if he never had the 'boothill' name until after.

Our main hint is this: 'The child had a striking and beautiful name that in the ancient language of Aeragan-Epharshel meant 'loaded gun."

But heres my problem, according to some others I've seen online, his tribe Aeragan-Epharshel could possibly be the names used in CN for the actual tribes of Apache and Algonquin, however using their languages there isnt quiet any name that fits that description, plus there are a ton of indigenous languages so its hard to pinpoint the correct one. Plus it could also be a made up language so who fuckin knows.

My questions are: Does anyone know a name that could possibly have that meaning or something close to it? Would it be offensive for me to even use a native name if i dont fully know which tribe he's meant to be a part of? Should i just use boothill? It feels lazy, but I'd rather avoid being offensive, and if that's the best way, it's what I'd rather do.

If anyone thinks of anything, please let me know! I really wanna make fluffy comfort fics.

...also wish i knew his daughters name. She deserved so much better
