#ruined like half the show

Thinking about natalie as a character so far:

Im only a little into season 2 but already i feel like she's suffering from the same issue she has all of season one, which is that her character is centered around Travis.

Travis this, travis that. She has little characterization outside of him and I don't care for her. I thought she'd be my favorite character when the series started, she had a strong character going in but now it feels like her entire purpose is to be an after thought to travis who wasn't the strongest character to begin with.

I understand not all characters can and will be developed equally; however it feels inexcusable that such a titular character to both the past and present can't seem to go beyond travis as a motivation or personality trait.

Even her interactions with the coach boiled down to travis, I'm in love, and relationship advice.

I wish they made her gay, honestly then they may have given her a shred of character because at least Taissa and Shauna have personalities outside of their relationships (/obsessions in shuanas case) with their partners.

The most developed character by far right now is Shauna, her scenes are the only ones that are compelling and interesting. She has complicated and decently well fleshed out relationships with multiple characters, her husband, daughter, jackie,taissa.

Jackie also was a pretty good character at the start but they definitely lagged on her development. I feel like she was built up to be some leader, but she only exhibits this quality once at the beginning and then we don't see it for a while, which wouldn't be a problem if we weren't also being set up to feel like Shauna resentment of jackie was warranted.

But heres the thing jackie isnt built up to a.) Play enough of a leading role to over shadow Shauna and b.) Mean enough for no reason to have Shauna be so callose to her.

I feel like i genuinely didn't case for Taissa romantic relationships which is a shame because i really only watched this show because i heard there were lesbians, but as usual I get served a cold plate of nothing. And then Taissa wife is, i think more internationally, a cold platter of boring.

Taissa is decently developed though i guess I'm just disappointed I couldn't really get into her relationship with van. I wish they had more chemistry. :/

So I guess I'm just kind of disappointed with yellow jackets as i was hoping for something with good characters and I think the characters are the weaker aspects of yellow jackets. Shuana's really fun though, so I can't entirely complain.

Tbh the show feels like something more akin to pretty little liars and something off of abc then it does a truly good series but i hope i like season 2 better? Maybe it'll get better?

In the mean time tho I'm kind of itching for something with angsty lesbians and better characters, y'know? When will i get lesbian hannibal? 🥲

Luke being Percy’s bi awakening is starting to make more and more sense cause why did Percy compare every attractive man he met to him 😭

He met Apollo and Hermes, two very attractive gods and went “You know who you look like! Luke Castellan!”

He was missing his memories, homeless, didn’t even KNOW who Luke was and when he met Octavian he was like “mhm, your a kinda cute pale white boy with blonde hair. Wait! You remind me of someone…”

Like Percy idk man maybe all that hate for Luke stems from somewhere else

told the employer that ive been drawing online to pay the bills and when he asked what i drew i accidentally hit him with this look

Nah, you know what makes my blood boil?

Seeing characters degraded, vilified, and desecrated in the name of ship wars.

No, Aang did not strip Katara of her agency nor did he only accept the "digestible" parts of her, leave my baby alone.

No, Zuko isn't just a selfish colonizer, bro did not have one of the greatest arcs of all time for you to reduce him to that.

No, Katara wasn't just a mother to everyone, for fuck's sake, did we watch the same show?

I can go on and on and fucking on, but all I'm gonna say is I'm fucking tired of y'all's shipping discourse.

It was never that serious, it will never be that serious.

I think that both Zutara and Kataang are great ships in their own right, with their respective pros and cons. I also think it comes down to personal taste.

Of course, people can have differing opinions on characters, regardless of the inclusion of ships or not. But at the very least, stick to your own.

Ship and let ship. Remember when this was fun?

Don't invade spaces that aren't yours to start trouble, and stay appropriate with the tags. Fandom etiquette, it's pretty neat.

Y'all suck the joy out of everything.

the training montage in crossroads re-ignited a headcanon i had of geralt waking up and doing gymnastics, performing kickflips and mid-air spins around on a fencepost outside an hour before sunrise to ‘limber up,’ and bleary-eyed dandelion wrapping himself up in a blanket to be like "heyyy... what the hell are you doing 💖"

i'm only halfway through alex rider season 3 but this is like lockwood and co level feet kicking and giggling I'm enjoying myself so much

I’m sorry you didn’t like the ending of Cobra Kai 😔 I did but I can see why other people don’t and I definitely have issues with it. I also really was fond of the movies growing up, because they made me believe I could stand up to bullies.

Thanks 💛 And I’m really glad you enjoyed it! I think what was so frustrating about these episodes for me in particular is that like. Everything that truly ruined the season for me would have been fixed with pretty small, minute changes.

Like, I don’t actually care Robby didn’t win. It sucked to watch but Miguel getting the final victory does make more sense narratively. I still very much dislike the way it all happened, but at this point I also didn’t expect any different. As for Johnny’s win…I think the entire mini arc of him being intimidated by Wolf and feeling unconfident was fine. And I get they wanted to end the show with a tournament win for him. I think it’s stupid personally, but again it was obviously always going to go down this way. But the way the show pushed this idea that he needs this win. That getting a first place trophy is actually the only way to redeem himself. It quite frankly just doesn’t make sense, especially when you contrast it with Robby’s arc. They could have left literally everything the same, but actually let Johnny realize that he doesn’t need the trophy. He doesn’t need to win a dumb tournament. Let him find strength in all the things he has now that he never did before—his son, Miguel, Carmen, the baby, Yaya, the entire Larusso family. People who love and care about him. And let that be what makes him able to persevere against Wolf and secure him the win. Have Johnny realize he doesn’t actually need this, thus letting him actually narratively earn the win in a satisfying way.

And as for reopening Cobra Kai—great! I always wanted and expected the show to end that way, from season 1. They could have kept the exact same scene, except without forcing Johnny to continue peddling the No Mercy bullshit that Kreese literally spent the entire season trying to make amends for. And then have him approach that kid with glasses and let us think for a second he’s about to bully and ridicule them, only for him to subvert expectations and actually say something constructive like “doing karate in glasses is dangerous, you need get some contacts.” The end. It would have been so easy. And that’s what drives me the most insane

[noivoom]

So how we feelin' fellas?

[leezuhh]

The two types of fans:

I don't like how season 3 went so I am rewriting the whole show

JHJGJGHCGCIUGH This series changed my brain chemistry, I'm so so normal I prommy, here have an aftermath fanfic with even more feels

[juniette13]

Sharing Ninjago doodles I made in class cause I’m finally rewatching it

I thought an image of my sona slingshotting Jay would be funny cause…TBH I hate him, Imma be real here

LIKE I’M SORRY (Sorta) I JUST DON’T LIKE HOW ONE OF THE VERY FIRST FEW THINGS HE DID WAS HIT ON KAI’S SISTER IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT WAS MENTIONED THAT SHE WAS KIDNAPPED 💀💀💀

He reminds me of my classmate that hits on my brother and it gives me the biggest ick LIKE STOP IT ☹️

Anyway most of my viewing consists of me either getting flabberghasted at something, jamming out to the music, complaining about Jay, or repeating consistently that I’m just like Zane,cause my neurodivergent thinking bucket thinks he’s just like me, which is kinda concerning cause I’m relating to a robot dude more than the human characters

Oh and Lloyd is just great, IDK why I hated him when I was younger because I absolutely adore this silly 10 year old

ALSO LIKE WHY WERE THEY SO MEAN TO HIM?? AT LEAST HE WASN’T UP TO GENUINELY EVIL SHENANIGANS LIKE HIS DAD 💀💀💀 ALL HE WANTED WAS CANDY AND A TREEHOUSE, BRO, THAT’S PRETTY NORMAL FOR A 10 YEAR OLD 😭😭😭

[kald-dal-write]

I heard the book was around the 50th hunger games tho?

yeah but still my headcanons can still be in ruins haha

what if a character from the main series show up? what if they refer to the games before the 50th game and mess up my timeline? what if the Victor of the first Quell is mentioned by name and district!?

A lot of scary possibilities there ngl lmao
