DC I have a revolutionary concept for you. It's called hiring people who have read comics about the characters they'll be writing to write those characters. If you're feeling really bold. Maybe you can start hiring people who LIKE the characters.

Oh noooooo. Did my disability remind you of your own mortality and now you feel a little scared, Nancy? That’s not my problem.

the longer i spend away from it the worse s4 gets in hindsight. but mostly i'm just always incredibly irritated by how homelander's powers keep taking massive nerfs because the writers just. stopped bothering trying to write around them.

now the boys can just have full on scooby-doo hijinks and shoot members of the seven in the head literally a floor above homelander without being noticed

remember how GOOD the tension in s1 was when they could see homelander looking for translucent (still terrifying to see him zipping around staring through buildings like that) and they couldn't blow him up without homelander hearing it bc he has fucking super hearing? yeah. bring that back.

Dear Master Revali

Sending you a list of Yiga Clan secret base locations that I discovered during my travels.

Akkala Ancient Tech Lab

Great Plateau

Aldor Foothills

Probably a good idea to familiarise yourself with aaaalllllll the hideouts, seeing as you're a new member and all. ;)

(Also, could you maybe bring home some of the Zonai capsules that the Yiga Clan use? Specifically the flying devices? Asking for a friend. I'm willing to pay you in rupees for them.)

-Rubee

Well now, finally someone who is understanding and supportive of my new career curve.

I'm certain the Yiga Clan wouldn't mind me sharing a few zonai capsules with someone so helpful to their cause. Perhaps even all of their zonai devices. What would they need ten thousand rockets for anyway? They can teleport.

I hope you have a decent storage space prepared for an incoming shipment. And not to worry, with my keen eye there's no way that someone as careful as I would accidently let any confidential plans or new Yiga weapons slip past my sight and into any of the crates either.

Dealing with my chronic illness has easily been the most difficult and almost completely isolating thing I’ve ever dealt with in my entire life.

That is to say: If you have someone struggling with an illness that may keep them at home all the time for their safety or in the hospital constantly for treatments, check on them please, send them a text, even if you don’t think it will do anything, i guarantee they will appreciate even the thought of you considering their existence.

because when you’re this sick you really do kinda disappear sometimes, and even as an extreme introvert myself, humans need each-other wether we like it or not.

Only Friends Episode 7 | "You wouldn't get me." "You're right, I might not get you."

This episode did me so dirty. We had about ten seconds of Ray/Sand fluff and then THIS happens. I'm so completely heartbroken for him. Seeing Ray and Mew together just felt so wrong. (I'll have to dive into a separate post as to why). But for now, I just feel for my man here.

The mindset regarding Thomas Astruc appears to be that he's the end-all-be-all for Miraculous.

His thoughts and tweets are given so much weight, often distorted through a loooooooot of disingenuous reads. Except... what about everyone else on the staff.

Sebastien Thibaudeau is the story editor of the show and has written for most episodes so far.

Nathanael Bronn? He's a co-writer of the story bible, has a finger in near every pie, is considered a co-creator along with Astruc.

Wilfried Pain? Co-director along with Astruc for most episodes and clearly having a say in where things go.

Jeramy Zag? One of the composers for the theme songs, some of the transformation themes, CEO of Zag and screenwriter of the movie.

Then there are the companies and distributors involved. Less personal but no less have a knock on effect on the show's presentation.

So why are we giving the yapper on Twitter all of the onus for what the show does or doesn't do?

I think this is something of an Authorial Intent situation where we heap all of the adoration or derision upon the creator as if they are some indie web comic artist. Because acknowledging the vast, vast creative team and the corporate overlords takes a lot more work compared to just one person. Far less overwhelming.

This is aided when they have a Social Media prescence. Far more easy to heap everything on a human lightening rod for the voltage that is our anger.

A similar example would be that of Rebecca Sugar with Steven Universe a few infamous critics and fans alike really tried to blame her for every pet peeve they had with the show. Some, not naming names, went so far as to call her a Nazi just because the big bads were allowed to turn themselves around.

Man, don't tell that crowd about the Chloe stans...

But even if to accurately ascribe blame, why can't we put that energy to looking into others on the Miraculous creative team? Reach out to them more if at all possible. Figure out who exactly is responsible for what's got the fandom's goat this time around?

Just... anything other than "Mommy! Tommy's being mean again!"

Thomas Astruc is only as maddening as you allow him to be. And he's not even THAT bad. He's snippy at worst, opinionated at best. Good knows I wish that was the only thing bad about JK Rowling again.

So yeah, I have bone to pick with theimmaturityofthomasastruc blog for enabling this lack of curisoity.

@combination-nc i’m calling you out for being so funny at me in my DMs that i snorted my grape bubly drink, and now my sinuses are on fire

I need to vent about this because it always bothers me about some GG fans

People (Jess antis 👀) always say Jess and Rory’s relationship was better before they got together and when they finally did, it sucked/wasn’t worth it. I feel like because we didn’t see any of their dates (which I’ll never get over!) people just gloss over what actually happened in their relationship and focus on what happened on screen (which was literally just all the negative parts at some point towards the end like c’mon Amy!

Anyways what do you think about this? Because a lot of the time Literati haters are wrong/twist things to fit their narrative. Like it’s okay if you don’t like them but please stop sounding fucking dumb 💀

Gotta be honest, I don't totally disagree with them. Rehashing some of the same stuff you just said, after they get together we see so much more of their conflict than happy moments and someone always seems to be interfering (Dean, Lorelai, Luke) but hey that's what makes it compelling TV (I find her relationship with Logan totally uninteresting). Like you said, the last few episodes of their relationship in season 3 felt especially miserable. Jess and Rory were only a couple for like 10ish episodes before the shit completely hit the fan and most of that time was filled with ANGST and PAIN. Crazy to think about when Numbnuts Forrester stuck around for five years (thanks to Milo and only Milo for not wanting to continue with the show, when he could have had a much longer arc).

Lorelai's Graduation Day will always be my favorite episode, I wish we could have seen more of that when they were actually a couple.

People complaining about Tsukasa5 already are pissing me off, because like, it's so unbelievably obvious what this event is trying to do and the fact that people are so hung up on "urgh dur tsukasa strong why can't he do a wall climb".

Like, first of all, a lot of Tsukasa's strength has been used as comedy before and also it's never been said that Tsukasa could specifically do a wall climb before so people calling this a retcon or a stretch is really dumb to me.

Sure we can make jokes about it, but this is not like a serious writing problem or anything.

Also are we just gonna ignore the fact this event is literally just a reference to his 3rd event in a silly trenchcoat. Or the fact that this is obviously meant to be WxS's downtime and training arc to prepare them to face the loose plotpoints in the future?

His inner dialogue when chasing the ninja is very clearly a reference to the whole Pheonix thing, how he can't reach it no matter how hard he tries.

The wall climb is like an extremely fucking on the nose metaphor to him climbing over his issues as an actor.

THERE IS ALSO THE WHOLE THING THAT HINTS THAT TSUKASA CAN ONLY OVERCOME HIS PROBLEMS IF HE HAS HELP FROM OTHERS (AKA tsukasa would've literally BEEN INJURED, if it wasn't for the fact the troupe's leader was there).

In fact this literally followed an event aka Tsukasa 4 where he FAILED to do his role correctly.

It's almost like this event is meant to be a transition point between Tsukasa 4 and 6, where Tsukasa builds up the knwoledge on how to face his problems.

But no this is just mid event because it's very silly and "wow plot is stupid why can't tsukasa wall climb".

WxS fans are slowly just turning into VBS fans in terms of how whiney they're being i swear
