This might be a hot take, but am I the only one that thinks that the recent Leander post by Redspring studio is a red herring? I’m still not 100% on Leander turning into a yandere but I took the post more as a hint that Leander would try to kidnap and trap us for our powers and will act like the Prince-charming, hero archetype if it means that we’ll obey him rather than “ahhhh he’s crazy in love with us.” I’m not completely against the theory that he’ll turn into a yandere, but I still want to believe that this guy is not genuine at all with his love for us (in the beginning at least) and there would be a steady romantic development in the story instead of a puppy love but yandere.
#I might also just be partial to shallow and fake dudes more angst#also I doubt Reddpring studio would spoil us on a major plot point#like there’s more to this post than meets the eye#touchstarved game#touchstarved leander#eggrolling

idk i feel if u ship tomura w ur oc or a canon character n solely reduce him to his skin condition or his fandom version to boost the other characters up, purposely to make them look better n to make it seem like tomura could never bag a conventionally more attractive/interesting/appealing person. then fuck you?
#esp if ur still making crusty jokes abt him next to a more ‘conventionally appealing’ character#not only is it rooted in ableism n desirism#ur shallow as hell actually#like why even bother being tomura into ur stories/fics at all if ur solely reducing him to his skin condition that ACTUAL PEOPLE DEAL W#n his behavior from when he was being fucking groomed#like i fucking hate that n I don’t fw yall at all#‘pretty’ oc x gremlin incel tomura is so PLAYED OUT#sick of seeing that all the time esp in y/n fics#shigaraki#tenko shimura#league of villains#tomura shigaraki#shigaraki x oc#shigaraki x reader#yall r fake tomura lovers fr 😭‼️

Even here in New England which is not exactly known for hospitality and politeness there's been so many people just? Smiling at me? Greeting me or making casual smalltalk? Complementing me?
#America is great practice for my social skills so far#it's a very different system of social interaction#lots of people tell me Americans are fake or shallow#but I think it's just a different way of interacting with strangers#I don't think they're lying about being nice it's just. polite. a thing you do.#Macksachusetts

Okay so I recently, finally, watched Wish and I have some thoughts. Overall, not as bad as everyone makes it out to be, but still has a lot of fundamental story problems and I've got to get them off of my chest. I'll mostly be focused on Magnifico because I think his motivations and arc largely represent the problem with the overall theme.
Okay so my biggest problem with Magnifico is his motivation. His tragic backstory. How on earth does he go from losing his whole family to thinking, the only way he can prevent that from happening again is to grant wishes? The logic doesn't track. It almost makes sense in his creating a kingdom where he protects everyone and "doesn't even charge rent," but it does not make sense with his wish granting. Having a great need to be control to make sure he doesn't lose anyone ever again can be a compelling motivation for a villain, where we see lines crossed that don't justify the intent, but in the movie, he's too self-absorbed to seem to have any actual care for the people of Rosas.
I think if the motivation was changed to something like Magnifico had once been a bright-eyed, enthusiastic wish granter who blindly believed all wishes were good but learned the hard way that that wasn't true could have been a better fit for the overall goal of the movie. Imagine that he granted a wish for a wicked person who used that wish to hurt others, or if Magnifico granted a wish but that wish ended up ruining the person's life because what they wanted wasn't what they needed (i.e. Remember The Princess and the Frog? Dig a little deeper) and that person could have went after Magnifico and blamed him for their troubles (harkening back to We Don't Talk about Bruno). This would be an understandable tragic backstory for Magnifico, and better explain why he's so careful about the wishes he grants. And, perhaps the reason he keeps the wishes he doesn't want to grant is to keep the people in his kingdom docile. No one will be angry with him for not granting their wishes if he makes them forget them and lose that drive and motivation, which makes more sense than the unexplained hording them like he does in the movie? Why does he keep them in the movie other than admiring the wishes? It doesn't make sense to me.
This would give Asha more of a reason to oppose him, if it's shown how his desire to not get hurt or to inadvertently cause hurt turned into a paranoia where he drains people of wishes to fly or play music that inspires others. And, as a side note, we need to see more of how Rosas is a kingdom of people who lack drive and motivation, where only those younger than 18 have that special part of them that inspires them to chase after a dream (something that Astor Rhymemaster touched on). Because that's the point of wishes, right? That's the point of the entire Disney canon. A dream is a wish your heart makes. That star can only get you so far, it takes hard work and determination. It's wanting something better in life, it's dreaming of leaving behind all you know to chase after a tangible light. It's finding a new dream, it's finding a new wish as you grow and learn about yourself and the world.
I don't think the movie Wish understood what makes wishes so important in Disney stories. You know what wishes do? They ignite change. It's not about getting what you want, it's about finding the courage to chase after something better. Ariel wants to be where the people are, but really she wants to be somewhere where others are willing to understand her and in the end, she finds that and makes amends with her father, who finally is willing to see her for who she is. Rapunzel wants to see the lights, and that desire pushes her to leave a tower she's been trapped in her whole life, learning that the world is not as cruel and cold as her abusive mother told her. Cinderella wants to go to the ball, to dance with people who treat her as a person and not a servant of cinders and ash. That wish is granted by a fairy godmother and gives her a hope that is worth fighting for, a hope that helps her reclaim what is rightfully hers; a glass slipper that fits only her and the love that comes with it.
Wishes inspire change. The movie should have been about that. Magnifico could have been right, that some wishes inspire negative change that can drag down multiple people. The kingdom of Rosas could have been so placid because change is scary. Maybe Magnifico could have convinced people, after taking their wish, that it wasn't worth it. Maybe the wish ceremonies could have changed so it wasn't portrayed as some sort of lottery everyone looks forward to, but Magnifico would grant wishes on the spot if he decided they were good and worthwhile, and he would lock away the wishes that would cause trouble and tribulations. 18 year olds could be enthusiastic to give him their wishes, thinking they were surely good and worth granting, only to forget their wish and be told that their wish would have only brought about their unhappiness, this would have justified a more solemn tone in the kingdom, setting up a world where people are mostly downtrodden, thinking their wishes are bad and pointless and they're better off without them. Imagine Cinderella or Rapunzel being told their wishes weren't good, reinforcing all the things their abusive families tell them, taking away that hope and courage to find something better for themselves.
Here's where the true conflict could come in. Asha could be onto this from the beginning, and her opening song could have been about this concern that the people who didn't get their wishes granted aren't willing to try at all. (Because, after all, why doesn't Sabino play music at all? Having that taken from him would take so much joy and creative expression from his life!) But why does Asha know something is amiss?
Simon.
Imagine that Magnifico has a strict rule not to ever share your wish with another person because then it wouldn't come true. It makes sense with our own superstitions, and then makes it so that no one knows anyone else's wishes. Maybe your best friend changes so drastically after giving up their wish, but you believe, like everyone else, that their wish would have only caused suffering. What can you do about it? Well what if Simon told Asha about his wish? What if Asha knew his wish wasn't dangerous and couldn't imagine a way that it could go wrong? That would give her a reason to doubt Magnifico and put more emphasis on how Simon has lost his drive like all the other adults in the kingdom. And it can also emphasize in the end that sharing your wishes and dreams with others can be a powerful thing. Just the act of sharing your dreams can inspire others to go after their own, and they can give you the encouragement to chase your wish too. Wishes inspire change, love gives you the courage to make it happen.
Imagine if the star boy used to be a human, who wished to help others and lost his humanity to do it. Imagine his wish confirms Magnifico's belief, that wishes cause suffering because star boy lost his tether to earth and is separated from the people he loves. Imagine how he foils Asha who also wants to grant everyone's wishes. Imagine him ensuring she doesn't make the same mistake he did while she gives him a reason to change again, to anchor himself to humanity again because he loves her enough not to leave for forever.
Imagine the movie confirming that, yes, change is scary. Chasing your dreams won't always make things better. You might fail more than you succeed and some wishes cannot coincide with each other, leading to grief and strife. But some wishes are worth it. Sometimes, chasing after something better and failing is worth leaving a worse situation. Sometimes taking that chance is worth it, and, like in all fairy tales, if you are kind and generous and act with love, that will make all the difference in the end.
Also, I know everyone wished for a Magnifico and Amaya evil power couple, but imagine if Magnifico was truly in love with Amaya, as he is in the movie, but that love is eventually his undoing. Like Amaya leaps in front of Asha, and Magnifico stops or redirects his attack because she's the one thing he loves more than himself and that is the weakness that Asha and co can take advantage of. Imagine Amaya keeping Magnifico in the mirror and he gets to dote on her from his imprisonment for forever. I'm just saying. At least 30 sickos like me would be into that. Imagine the depth it would give to the themes of love and change and wishing and how acts of love make all the difference.
Alright, I'll get off my soap box. I just really wish Wish could have been stronger because these fairy tales Disney is famous for matter. They really do. But the movie feels too stale and shallow and too much of a cash grab that knows the outline of a disney musical, but is unable to understand the heart of why they work.
#rose and rambles#wish 2023#disney#disney wish#if you read anything i post let it be this im shaking the bars of my cage#I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS ABOUT FAIRY TALES AND DREAMS LET ME AT THE PEOPLE WHO MADE WISH SO SHALLOW#ILL MAKE THEM TEA AND GIVE THEM A GOOD SCOLDING#WHILE STEALING THEIR CLOTHES AND PUTTING ON A FAKE MUSTACHE TO TAKE OVER WHILE THEY'RE NIBBLING ON NICE COOKIES#THAT'S A TOTALLY NORMAL THING TO DO RIGHT#if you want to tell a good story you gotta tell it yourself <- my villain origin story#or at least my Sebastian kiss the girl moment. i can't believe they took out star boy. God forbid independent women have romantic interests#anyway im obsessed with how Magnifico always called Amaya “my love” and i think we can do beautiful and twisted things with that#Also i kind of hate the whole 'oh there's no saving him from this evil magic corruption' like le please that's the most stupid thing to eve#be in a fairy tale#just proves these people didn't actually read the snow queen#also also go watch Astor Rhymemaster she's a genius and explains songs IN SUCH AN IN DEPTH WAY#i haven't interacted with much other wish stuff so idk how others are rewriting it but this my ideal

If Donnie and Kendra have a friendly rivalry and he's swapping codes with Jeremy, would D be more comfortable around the purple Dragon's than the turtles?
dont think so, they're still competing/fighting at the end of the day! by the time he would be actively interacting with outside people like that again, he'd be similarly jumpy around everyone and really only freak out around his brothers when they act in a way that's particularly triggering for him. i could see outside friends in general being kind of a breath of fresh air for him though, especially early on. it feels like there's less EXPECTATIONS.
and if he had a more positive relationship with kendra, she'd probably notice the difference and treat him differently, while still feigning annoyance and disinterest. he'd probably like the taste of normalcy, even if they're not comfortable talking on a more personal/emotional level.
#ask#canary continuity#mutual tsundere friendship as it SHOULD be#idk i really dont mind people who make her unequivocally evil. it depends on the plot youre going for. she's shallow enough to do whatever#but i loooved their dynamic in purple game. i like the energy. its fun to play around with#i dont think the bros would trust her through. which is somewhat reasonable#she wouldnt fake liking him like she did in their first encounter. but she's still not the most invested in his safety#and they wouldn't like the hostility lmfao#i could see a topic like this being one of the first real arguments he HAS with his family#itd be a good way to confront that issue. something along that line#also this isnt even kendra related (i dont really ship them) but i couldnt IMAGINE what it would be like if he found a partner LMFAO#dear lourd the shovel talk......

Kusakabe, dear, you're too beautiful to be saying that kind of stuff
#jjk spoilers#All the prettiest characters were brought back from apparent death#Nobara was okay and it's true that when I read the lawyer's and Kusakabe's fights against Sukuna I thought it was being kept vague#but to pull a Nobara with all of them... idk#No one stays dead here except for the people who actually care for the kids and by that I mean 'including Yuuji'#kinda lowkey bitter about it#Don't get me wrong I like the characters and also they're super pretty but idk It makes death feel cheap? And the high stakes kinda fake?#Choso Gojo and Nanami actual only characters who died apparently#Well. Poor Itadori#And Kusukabe goes and runs his mouth that way in front of the kid. He is not entirely wrong but also he very much is#And yes he also says 'don't worry it's not for you to feel guilty over anything you're just kids' but also he did very much say that thing#about it all being Gojo's fault for not killing Itadori. In front of Itadori who feels guilty for that precisely#and in front of Megumi who asked Gojo to spare him and also went through the experience of Sukuna using his body as well#So Kusukabe's reassurance about them just being kids and not to feel guilty falls a bit empty#It does feel in character but man it truly makes one appreciate the way Gojo and Nanami dealt with the kids a lot more haha#Ui Ui seems like a dear#Anyway... this chapter felt a bit lame for the most part for me? I like the idea of the characters discussing the could have/would have#and feeling guilt and helplessness over their choices but the way it was done felt a bit lame and without any real emotional punch#It felt more like an explanation to the reader in an awkward way. And there's a lot of empty chat about guilt and grief#without any of the characters really giving off a grieving air about everything and everyone they've lost#And this is precisely what I felt was going to happen with this manga's writing haha#I truly don't understand this kind of writing choices. Contrary to some other shonen writers this author did seem to have the potential#to write this kind of thing well besides the worldbuilding and powers and fight stuff. It's truly a pity. It so breaks my heart#And still this is considered one of the good shonens. Well. WELL haha#I do think shonen can be good! I just think it falls almost always even when there's potential into bery shallow writing#I don't know. Maybe I should read that one Alchemist manga#I've been repeatedly told that one's good and it does seem like it doesn't do... this. But I find the art style so not to my linking#I wish I had never gotten into JJK for real for real. I absolutely adore it. I always end up frustrated. It could be so good. Genuinely good#And yet it's just okay in a sort of forgettable way. What a pity#Everything good ever is present but it never dares do anything to fully explore what it sets. It just does the typical shonen stuff

Not to darken the mood but why are so many people complaining about """scam discourse""" (some people really need to have the word 'discourse' taken away from them, I swear) and apparently jumping to assuming anyone who's suspicious about some of the Gaza fundraisers must be actually accusing Palestinian people of somehow trying to scam them? I don't believe for a second that's what most people are concerned about, the people who are actually willing to donate money aren't all going around accusing Palestinian people of making up that they have little kids or faking that they have sick elderly parents or whatever. They are just rightly concerned that some of these blogs claiming to be people in desperate need in Gaza are really some kind of spam bot set up to scam people or they are actually other people who have nothing whatsoever to do with Gaza or Palestinians lying about being someone trapped in Gaza cos they think that's an easy way to get money for themselves. Sorry but when it comes to the latest """hot issue""" for people to go on and on about (until the point where they forget about it and move on to obsessing over something else of course), too many people seem to lose all critical thinking skills. Time and time again people have lied about all sorts of stuff to get money for themselves; people have been scammed out of many thousands of pounds or dollars or whatever other currency in plenty of cases and often entirely because they were trying to be kind. There have been so many scams even just on tumblr, people getting scammed out of money for creative projects or people getting scammed by people lying about vets bills when all they've done is stolen photos of an abused animal from an actual legitimate animal rescue charity for instance. The scammers end up running off with people's money and are probably laughing all the way to the bank while the actual needy causes get nothing. But then it comes to this and suddenly apparently we're just supposed to trust every single one of the thousands and thousands of people asking for money? Even the ones that are so obviously just bots? Even the ones who ask for money through sites nobody's ever even heard of? Or the ones who ask you to just donate straight to their paypal account? And even though the more scammers get donated to, the more real actual people in desperate need lose out (which in some cases may well be effectively a death sentence for them).
Also I know damned well if a lot of people are accusing people in Gaza of just lying about having kids or sick grandparents or whatever then they're the people who were never going to donate anything to any of them anyway, they're not the people who do want to actually help them.
#but let's be honest here#I know a lot of the people making out you're a terrible person#if you dare to suspect any of the Gaza fundraisers of being fake#are probably the exact same people who go round#making out you're terrible if you dare to care about *insert other issue*#and post 'but what about Gaza!' endlessly on posts about every single other issue#but then will lose interest in Gaza themselves as soon as it ceases#to be 'trendy' to talk about it and they move on to the next ~hot issue~#sorry but there's way too much shallowness about these matters from some people#and too many people like that who are patting themselves on the back#when all they've really done is accuse other people#of caring about the 'wrong' issue and spammed unrelated posts with whataboutisms#and I'm sick of it

The #GirlBoss movement in the MCU is extremely pseudo-feminist.
I could be totally off-base with this, but has anybody else noticed that here lately the mcu has had a slight pattern of making a few female characters ridiculously overpowered as well as turbo-hyped by the narrative and marketing…
This specifically includes Wanda, Carol Danvers, and Sylvie.
I’m in particular talking about how all 3 of them had far less time for character exploration and strength build-up than the majority of the other more powerful heroes, had fairly bland and uncreative personalities compared to the other more powerful heroes (Wanda was coddled by the narrative and not allowed to have any ownership in her wrongdoings which would’ve made her more complex, Carol was a victim of the “having the same arrogant attitude as the douchebro male characters is all it takes to make a Strong Female Character(TM)” writers’ mentality, and Sylvie with mary sue-ed to hell), and were generally made more about the cool powers and ‘oooh such a badass’ moments and the aesthetic than the actual depth.
My point is… they’re all so shallow and performative. It’s like the (mostly male) writers looked at the female character and scoffed and said “ok there’s no way this lady’s gonna become a fan fave on her own- we have to help her. We have to give her a boost. I have zero faith in women being able to gain popularity by their own merit (because who’d be interested in a woman, ammiright?), so we can’t just give her a compelling backstory and let that be it. We have to make sure she has the most tragic backstory of anyone on screen at any given time, and we have to make sure the audience knows it! We can’t just give her a specific set of powers and depict them in an interesting and unique way. We have to make her stronger than any other character she’s going to share screen time with and we have to have her flaunt her powers every ten minutes to remind the audience how strong she is! We can’t just make her intelligent in her own way and give her witty banter with the male characters. We have to make sure she makes them look like idiots and condescends them as frequently as possible so the audience knows it! We can’t just flesh out her morals and let her get things wrong sometimes. We have to make it so she’s always in the right and the audience should always be on her side! And even when she does something wrong, we have to make sure the audience knows that it wasn’t really her fault and she still has the moral high ground! That’s the only way we’ll ever get people to like her as much as the main male characters!!”
It’s just…. This is just rank with a lack of confidence in women. They approach the idea of having women front and center with equal parts skepticism and greed. They’re so out of touch with what women want in superhero films and just what women want in general. They fall into the trap of thinking feminists want everyone to know that girls are actually superior to guys, when in reality we just want to be treated with the respect and humanity and agency guys have always been treated with.
And by creating these female characters the way they do (making sure they’re not equal but decidedly better than the male ones, making sure they’re nearly infallible strength-wise, making sure they’re never allowed to be held accountable for mistakes) they literally defeat that whole point. They’re being extremely counterproductive to what feminists are actually trying to do, because they aren’t actually interested giving women genuinely good representation- they’re just interested in pandering to Twitter stans and casual female fans who form their opinions based on a first glance and girls who are so starved for rep that they’ll praise movie-makers for serving up rank crumbs.
They give us female representation but not really, just like they give us queer representation but not really, and like they give us poc representation but oftentimes not really…. Because (surprise surprise) the multi-billion dollar corporation does not actually give a shit about minority issues.
#this should not come as a shock to anyone#but unfortunately#I know a good many people who would be shocked to chagrin#young women and young lgbt folks and young poc stop idolising anything that gives you a crumb challenge#Omg Marvel Gave Us All These Badass Women!!!#babe most of those women are cardboard cutouts#Omg Marvel Gave Us A Confirmed Queer Character!!!#babe that was one vague sentence and then they did their best to retcon it by putting him in a heteronormative relationship with himself#Omg Marvel Gave Us These Cool POC Characters#babe most of them are side characters who get 3 lines tops 2 of which are used to build up the white characters#I’m just…. so tired#people are so shallow#negativity#marvel negativity#fake feminism#pseudo feminism#anti wanda maximoff#anti Captain marvel#anti sylvie#anti marvel#marvel meta#marvel discourse#argue with a wall#might do a longer post on this later idk
