Does anyone else wonder how Helluva Boss would've turned out differently if Stella was made to be sympathetic instead of Stolas?
What if the narrative explored how hard the marriage was for her? How hurtful it was for someone she was loyal to for years to cheat on her, and finding out because the guy her husband cheated with told her?
I personally would have liked to see that
#helluva critical#stella#just some thoughts#not a fan of the show as is#but the premise had real potential#also:#she's supposed to be a swan???#what??#I honestly thought she was an owl or a dove#also#how neat would it be#to have a swan be the sympathetic one?#especially because swans are evil in real life#evil#evil birds#they have TEETH#love those crazy things#but I also hate them

Complaining abt Suicide Squad yet again but the fact that they have Waller exposing the alien community to space racist attacks and talking abt how she got to her position through deceit and being a terrible person and stuff is just. Ahsfiwueh JUST SAY YOU DONT KNOW WALLER.
Anyways literally the 3rd mission of the Squad ever (and the first framed as smth Waller picked and not orders from above) was the Squad discrediting and stopping a rogue vigilante who was only arresting POC and funneling white people into white supremacy groups (of which he was the most prominent member) in SUICIDE SQUAD #4. and it's explicitly framed as this mission being personal for Waller that she's hiding from the government bc its illegal like. Guys. Please why are we having her incite (space bc comics) racist attacks now
Also the whole "Amanda got her position through deceit and being a terrible person" NO. she KEPT her position through being shitty and playing complicated political games!!! She wasn't always that way like there is a difference and it is IMPORTANT ppl PLEASEEEE. In Secret Origins #14 we learn Amanda's backstory and she used to be a normal, caring person! Like even after she entered into working in government and politics she wasn't automatically morally bankrupt like please people. She was originally given control of the Squad by Reagan (*sigh* 80s comics...) to distract and get rid of her because she was so successful at pushing progressive social policy in Congress. Acting like she's this static pillar of evil is such a waste of her character and so fucking uninteresting and disrespectful to her arc it drives me MAD.
Like I am NOT saying Waller is all sunshine and rainbows, she fucking SUCKS (said w love <3) but like there's a human being there. It's a progression, she has a character arc like please, DC, please!!! They've fucked up Waller so bad and made her so opaque and uninteresting she can't even be the protagonist of her own story for fucks sake!
Like I don't know how many times I have to scream it until DC hears me or remembers but WALLER IS THE MAIN CHARACTER OF SUICIDE SQUAD. ITS HER BOOK. yet right now she's a cutout to be used as the villain wherever the writers please. Even in her book we get none of her perspective really displayed, no exploration of her thoughts with any kind of understanding of the role she traditionally has played and was made to play in the story.
#its like youre unable to root for her in any form. which is annoying bc shes actually awesome actually#also having her say “actually im the good guy fuck you'' w/o any actual deep analysis of her psyche or whatever while doing these things#doesnt count as development or showing shes 3 dimensional. its just having 2 dimensional waller say shes right when everyone is obviously#supposed to believe shes wrong#anyways i want real waller back please i miss herrrrrrrr#anyways hope mr john ridley has read secret origins no 14. i know its from 1987 but please guys please. my only hope#also it was a few months ago but i think they tried to push certain elements of a diff backstory in dream team and sorry but fuck that. and#any mention of another waller background like my eyes are closed sry. im a preboot truther#actually im just ignorant of most squad comics outside the original series. im gonna do a readthrough and become knowledgeable on other#stuff i just need to find time. so if im wrong then sorry if its smth factual and if you disagree with my opinion then uh sorry for ur loss#anyways shoutout to the time i had a nerd night w my one friend and she was asking me abt dc and said my favorite villains and i said waller#and silver swan. and she had a “yuck WHY” to waller and a ???? to silver swan. love shouting out my faves and explaining them to the less#informed. didnt say a number 3 but would probably be parallax ig. idk hes kind of slay. or maybe someone else honestly i like hal but waller#and nessie are blorbo level for me i could think abt them for hours#or maybe it wouldnt be parallax actually idk who my 3 would be. hes definitely up there but way below the other 2. maybe the cheetah#interpretation that i personally have. v different from the popular cheetah interpretation esp rucka vers actually. much closer to the pérez#and esp develops some subtext there surrounding barbara and the exploitation and theft of sacred cultural artifacts and pieces but also#like british colonization a lil bit#but i actually despise the cheetah that lives in my head but think shed be interesting to use narratively and see diana fight#vs the other guys who i find interesting and sympathetic and like for themselves#whereas my fave interpretation of cheetah can rot in hell#i got off topic here#blah#swishy rant#also disclaimer that w the main character ik dreamer is the main character of dream team. im talking more in general and that amanda should#always have a huge role as shes the main character of the squad and yet is treated like its villain and not its protag#sui sq

i mentioned this in this post i made a while back about how i think regal believer is the most important relationship in OUAT, but i can’t stop thinking about how the thesis of the show is about the sacrifices parents do or do not make for their children.
like think about it: cora sacrificing regina’s safety and happiness for her own ambition, henry senior never being strong enough to protect his daughter until she is too far gone and he dies in the name of her rage, snow and david’s decision to send emma through the wardrobe and how it is so complex because they were giving her her best chance but they were also sending their baby alone to a strange world so that she could one day save them all, emma giving henry up to give him *his* best chance, rumple losing his humanity to gain the power to protect his son only to then lose his son to protect his power, and then committing unspeakable evils to be reunited with him, malcom/pan abandoning his son to stay young and powerful forever, milah leaving her little boy to be raised by a man she did not respect so that she could live her life, jefferson sacrificing his sanity just to see his daughter again, granny trying for years to shield ruby from the truth, snow and david sacrificing maleficents child for the sake of their own, cora abandoning zelena in the woods so she herself could have “her best chance”…… ugh. i could go on and on and on.
and don’t even get me started on regina and henry. first, her trying desperately to hold onto him through any means, then realizing that she can’t have him and sustain the curse at the same time. doing everything in her power to redeem herself in his eyes, even holding back a fundamental part of herself. then when she was going to sacrifice herself to save the town (that was for *him*, not for storybrooke), and then giving him up to make things right and to keep him safe and happy even if it meant him forgetting her forever.
#henry ironically being the catalyst for breaking the curse#it was supposed to be the one thing that made her happy but he ended up being that instead#the three memorable times they use the “best chance” line#cora mills can choke#she would have been a bad mother even if she had her heart#evil isn’t born it’s made#regina mills#ouat#once upon a time#emma swan#snow white ouat#cora mills#henry mills#rumplestiltskin#zelena mills#regal believer

younger butch (idiot)/older femme (into that) is like S tier combo to me
also some little things that i liked + alt sweetheart thoughts under the cut:
#hotline miami#alex davis hlm#sweetheart hlm#candy swans#trashcan's art#for the record i am 100% saying that alex is into older women LOL#not necessarily saying milfs bc i don't think sweetheart has kids (i think she's around like mid to late 30s vs alex who's mid 20s)#also my hc for sweetheart's name is diane! but she's genuinely just rly friendly and kind so ppl just call her sweetheart#this is probably. idk some time after into the pit? and def before death wish. obviously.#and unlike jack/ash sweetheart doesn't kno abt the vigilante stuff at all. nor does alex want to tell her abt it#smth smth angst where alex n sweetheart were supposed to go on another date but bc all the fans die they never got a chance to#and up until miami getting blown up sweetheart is just rly sad and confused bc she never knew why#tee hee#anyways that's enough outta me <3

Y'all.
The climax and resolution of Twilight is SO! MUCH! B E T T E R ! IN THE BOOK!
For one, Bella's smart as hell. Damn. I was thinking the whole time I was reading the book, "Does Bella actually lack a personality in the book, or am I just struggling to see it because this is 1st person?" and then she made the plans for how to evade James and protect Charlie and I just
I agree with Emmett. "She's diabolical."
And then! THE THING?! WITH ALICE?!?!
*SCREAMING* HOW DID I FORGET THAT?!
James in the movie was annoying as hell, but the James in the book is… like, he's not scary precisely. He's slick, that's what it is. He's tricky. I HATED the scene in the dance hall in the movie, but it was actually really good in the book.
And I kind of hate the way they altered Edward drinking from her in the movie. You kidding me? You're gonna take that victory away from him? That was SUCH a big deal! She's his bloodsong and he was able to maintain himself even after everything! And they TOOK that from us!
WOOF!
Still not finished. But yeah. The book was WAY better than the movie.
#Twilight#Twilight spoilers#Edward Cullen#Bella Swan#Alice Cullen#bookblr#you know what I think about the acting in the movie now that I'm rereading the book?#it read poorly because they weren't going hard enough#they were holding too much back in their performances#I think maybe Kristen knew Bella was supposed to be clumbsy but then she leaned too far into awkward when acting#I know Robert complained that Edward's part read as extremely self-loathing and that's what he ran with#and yes Edward as a character is in fact pretty self-loathing#but it seems to me that it was his main trait in the movie#be that from the writers or from Robert I couldn't tell you my impression now but#anyway#🕸️

I'm thinking about EAH putting on an "event", perhaps a charity ball type thing, where there are students from any class attending (because you don't not invite certain important people lest they choose to curse you and your baby) but it's still graded on the basis of performance counting towards extra credit in various subjects (dance, wooing, princessology, etc).
Only you don't choose your own partner.
It's a bit like the teachers pairing you up for a group project with other people in the class, but the metric they are using to decide who gets partnered with who is based on the Ballroom Dance portion of the evening. As your ideal Ballroom partner is meant to be the same or similar height to you (you're supposed to be able to see over their shoulder, though generally the person being spun should also be short enough to go under the arm).
Which is where ship pairings come in.
Obviously, as a Dexven shipper I'm thinking about Dexter and Raven being around the same height. Maybe they were paired up together originally and Dexter had to do some smooth talking to stay paired up with Raven because someone balked at the idea of placing Raven with a Prince Charming (especially when his extra credit class is Advanced Wooing), or maybe he was originally paired with Duchess but Duchess made a fuss of some sort about Dexter being a bad dancer in the practice dance they had and Raven gets defensive (jealous) and does a practice dance with Dexter to "prove" that Duchess is the problem (inadvertently earning extra credit points for one of her villain classes for stealing someone else's prince) and getting paired with Dexter instead(I think that one would need a meaner-than-canon Raven given she'd be roleplaying a villain part to even do that in the first place, as the Prince dances and professes his love to someone who is not the Swan Princess in Swan Lake. Poor Duchess).
Meanwhile, Apple is having a crisis of her own because she and Daring aren't height matched and that's just feeding into her preexisting insecurities about her looks as she believes it implies she's not good enough for her role if she doesn't match her Prince Charming. Like maybe the two of them did get paired together anyway for that reason and Apple is still a little short despite that and whatever heels she's already wearing.
Or maybe they didn't get a chance to try as Apple and Darling get paired together since EAH has more girls than boys. And Darling gets to play the part of Prince Charming comforting the upset princess, and slowly falling in love, while Apple is perhaps too caught up in "destiny" to realise that she might not be straight (or rather rejects the few glimpses she does have during the dance when she does let herself have some fun because she's too scared by the fact she doesn't know how taking that chance at happily-ever-after would turn out).
#ever after high#eah#raven queen#dexter charming#apple white#darling charming#duchess swan#and this is why I think the charming siblings height should go dexter daring darling btw ballroom dance partners#apple's one of the shortest and raven is one of the tallest; though shortest girl is maddie and tallest girl is briar#briar being the tallest girl makes me think that rosabella is tall over short; it's possible she's average height though#the only problem is that the books also describe Daring as being bigger than Dexter; which could be muscle mass i suppose#something something Dexter and Daring had different training growing up because Dexter was premature; the Charmings being overcautious#(he and Darling have been premature to allow Queen Charming time to recover from the first pregnancy before getting pregnant again;#having one pregnancy so soon after another is a reason for a premature birth and another is carrying more than one child so...)#but that's off topic

I think you might find the mother-daughter sexual abuse angle in Black Swan of interest if you haven't already delved into that
yesss
I was really taken aback by their relationship when I first watched the film because the incestuous subtext was pretty blatant and I hadn't seen any discussion around it beforehand. The idea of the abusive mother is still pretty hard to register for certain people, so when you add sexual abuse into the mix, plus inflicted on another woman, it mostly disappears from analysis.
#asks#it made me absolutely crazy when I watched it at the time cause NO ONE was talking about it and I felt like I was just making connections#which weren't there#but so many things hint towards this interpretation and tbh it's not that surprising that it's an overlooked subject.#it's very often reduced as mommy issues as many relationships in other medias are without looking much further#(Sharp Objects for instance. like... how can you read the book and not see that. anyways)#Some of the interractions they have can be read this way (like the scene where Nina licks Erica's finger or 'are you ready for me?')#But the one where it truly clicked for me was when they showed Nina's room opened right after she wakes up from her night with 'Lily'#plus the 'Sweet Girl' during the sex scene#Tbh I can't really say if anything really happened between the two at this moment. but it's extremely telling to end the scene this way#The interpretation that Lily in this moment is a projection to think of somebody else while it's Erica who's truly there is plausible#However I don't know if Aronofsky thought of it that way. I think it was supposed to be read as an hallucination through and through and#given the incestuous undertones established earlier in the film it was more to be seen as a psychosexual/Freudian dynamic#But idk. Erica still violates Nina's boundaries repetively and says things concerning how attrative and sexually desirable she is#which are beyond the simple dominating role most people associate to her#SO YEAH ! I spent quite some time thinking about this relationship last year since I thought I was losing my mind at first#might have to rewatch Black Swan now...#black swan#my thoughts

Wait now thinking about it do you all think that Floworld will also be under Night Swan tirany or it's the only danceverse that is save from her?
I mean that danceverse is FULL of deities and omnipotent coaches but Night Swan has Wanderlust who is also a deity and Mihaly who are the most powerful coach in the danceverse so...
#just dance 2024#just dance 2023#jd wanderlust#jd night swan#if she is supposed to extend her reign to every danceverse..#jd mihaly#just dance

i was back on track to finish my soa playthrough for a while there--but then i reached xan's we-survived-bodhi celebration scene
#i knew it was coming but when xan actually said his first line i force quit the game. i'm so serious#the whiplash that comes with me writing & drawing my ace xadri delusions when meanwhile bg2 xan swans around as though he knows what i want#i know. I KNOW. that deep down he would gladly express his love differently if only he knew !!!#god just let me reach through the screen. either to have a civil conversation or to strangle him i'm not sure which#i might really have to break out the edits here i'm not sure i can survive this one as-is#'sovo it's just a massage and another implied sex scene' I KNOWWW#but it's like--*this* is how he expresses his joy/gratitude??? to radri??? who has thoughts and feelings i've built up in my head??#and she's supposed to be into it??? when there's no way she can be??? and she would try so hard to make him happy#and she just has to. choose the negative option. 'not tonight xan'. for the MILLIONTH time#she WANTS to be with him! but just not like this! it's honestly killing me. i'm being forced into a miscommunication trope#with two people who can literally mind meld and read each other's emotions#i mean okay they can't really read each other's emotions at the moment BUT THEY STILL KNOW HOW TO TALK.
