#shipping him with other minor characters would be so weird šŸ˜­

I think the main thing that pisses me off about like 90% of mephiles ships is that people will be like "how old is he??" Look that fanwiki says that he's ten and they RUN with it. Like they don't read further. I'm so convinced that most people don't even know the plot of 06 bc the shit I've seen people draw and write with the characters is just mind boggling.
#trash rambles#like yeah i understand thwt nearly all of the named sonic characters are either minors or unspecified#but like#even if he was actually ten#shipping him with other minor characters would be so weird šŸ˜­#plus i dont think it would even matter if he has actually a minor because that uncomfortable power dynamic would still be there with most#other characters#and like#god idk#the amount of dog shit mephiles ships i have to have blocked in my tags is extremely upsetting#LIKE. WDYM?#MARIA??????#STOP IT šŸ˜­#tikal makes more sense but that one still makes me uncomfortable#idk i dont even remember all the ones i blocked i just remember that find the maria posts was like#devistating#that and the one person who liked all my 06 posts and was a mephiles and elise shipper (theyre siblings to me so someone like that liking m#art of them is understanbly upsetting)#that being said how old do i think infinite is??? because he doesnt have an official age (that i could find)#personally i think hes anywhere from 19 (at the absolute youngest) to like. early 30s idk šŸ’€#somewhere between thoes idk#the only version of him that has a 100% solid age in my head is for the ghost au and hes 22 in that (bc hes a junior in collage)#n e way#i just woke up so ignore if this is illegible#ugh idk i really try not to be gate-keepy about stuff i like because its annoying but like#i love 06 so much it kinda hurts tl see people just kinda not knowing even the basic plot or like. only going off the fandubs (which i#really enjoy but at a certain point you can only say mephiles is ur favorite and have people quote it at you or in the comments of your 06#posts so many times before you just like. idk. (also ive had people irl tell me 06 sucks after i told them directly it was my favorite sonic#game??? like??? bro you asked ME.))

My unpopular TUA opinion:
1. I genuinely like Viktor as a character but I have a hard time watching his scene lmao. I root for him in season 1 but I skipped a lot of his scenes with Leonard because their relationship makes me uncomfortable and I really want to stab Leonard in the eyes every time he shows up on screen. In season 2 I found his story low-key boring and in season 3 ā€” it's hard to watch the thing with Harlan. I actually agree with Allison on her feelings for Harlan.
2. Sissy and Viktor's relationship is cute... But I'm not a fan of it. Mainly because of the cheating šŸ˜­. I know it's an unhappy marriage and they love each other and the husband is a huge dick but still, the cheating still didn't sit right with me (which is another reason why this particular plot is hard for me to watch). I once watched this drama where the male lead married this villain and sneaked with the female lead behind her back and i felt so bad for the villain even though I hate her gut lmao.
3. Allison's character arc in season 3 is horrible and I hate watching her character digress like that but at the same time I think it is kind of justified in a way. I mean, a girl can only take so much before she pops. But it's kind of frustrating that it's OBVIOUS that the whole siblings tried to give her support. Viktor is obvious, Diego took her out to release tension, Luther always looks out for her, and even when she was arguing with Viktor, Five asked Allison if she's okay when she's the one that dropped the not okay words to Viktor. You can't say that the siblings didn't try to be there with her but she still acted selfishly.
4. This is just a minor thing but the way the Sparrow treated Grace will never stop making me feel angry. Like bro, have some respect that is your MOTHER. Or could have been. It's just heartbreaking to see how Grace ended up in the end because we see in season 1 that she could have feelings and the brellies love her but in this timelimes she's being treated like a servant šŸ˜­ AND when Diego saw Grace and look so happy and relieved to see her and then Jayme said he's a creep. SHUT UP HE LOVE HIS MOM OKAY.
5. Am I the only one who kind of ship Human Grace with Reggie in season 2? Low-key ship them and it's kind of weird but I like the potential there? And there's chemistry there.
6. Klaus can be annoying sometimes starting from season 2. I LOVE him but sometimes I want to strangle him lmao.
7. Umbrella Ben will always be an innocent precious little cinnamon roll in my heart, but in the show he can be quite horrible lmao. Possessing Klaus without his consent, preaching Klaus with the "Luther would do the same for you" in S1. Like SHUT UP BEN NO HE WON'T.
8. Lila pissed me off so much in season 2 with her relationship with Diego because why was she angry with him? Girl, he did nothing but give you heart eyes, YOU'RE the one that lied to him, betrayed him, and drugged and kidnapped him. SO WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE HE'S THE ONE THE SCREW UP!? "I even introduced you to my mom" GIRL YOU KIDNAPPED HIM. He didn't have a say in that. Stop tripping. And the things she did with Stan, is honestly not okay, wth Lila? (But they do warm up to me in season 3).
9. The romance in the show is not the greatest tbh. I don't actually ship any of the ships in the show (except for Diego and Lila at the end of S3) because they all kind of happen so fast and I felt like as soon as someone gets a love interest, that will be their first priority, their family be damned. And maybe logically this is true (I never experienced love so who am I to know) but I'm here for the family love so to see that happen pissed me off lmao. I understand their actions with their love interest but at the same time GET A GRIP.

Why I like them: He turned out to be a much more complicated character than he seemed to be on the surface. It took me until his literal last scene in the game to realize this but damn if that scene didn't paint all of his actions in a new light. Like yeah he's still a bastard but you saw WHY he became the way he did. How easily it all could have been avoided. How he and Hendrik deserved the chance to move past the lies that poisoned their relationship without him having to be a ghost living in his armor. It hurt in a weird way. He became my first true character hyperfixation and honestly opened my mind to engaging with fiction in a whole new way. No one deserves to be painted in the Crying Lucifer Painting pose more than him lolĀ 
Why I donā€™t: I will forever have a chip in my shoulder that he didn't get a redemption arc, sorrynotsorry. Even Party Chat tries to desperately downplay the significance of the armor scene if you check it on the now-memorial balcony. On a lighter note the fact I missed 99.9% of the Piers fandom is entirely his fault because I was too busy hyperfixating on him lol. Also, the classism. The classism is bad, mkay? :P
Favorite line: His melodramatic evil speech in the throne room where he lists love first as something he's given up on is hard to beat. Also his final line in the game being "we will never be apart again'...yeah šŸ„²šŸ˜­
Favorite outfit: The evil queen ensemble. It's so...very.Ā  Exactly the sort of thing a raging disaster gay that designs his own outfits (according to the character book) that's devoted himself to eeevil would wear.Ā 
OTP: He literally only makes sense as a character if you assume he was extremely, painfully gay for Hendrik and sublimating it in a WEIRD way. And Hendrik certainly showed enough signs of feeling the same way (the way he clutches his necklace to his chest after his death in the first timeline...) Mordegon and Heliodor's toxic monarchy just got in the way...Ā 
Brotp: Jade was apparently just as close to him as she was to Hendrik but the game NEVER EXPLORES THIS AT ALL. Also I think he and Sylvando could have been absolute terrors together lol. And I've always liked the headcanons where he and Mia bond over their shared pain and rage at their (perceived) abandonment.Ā 
Head Canon: Quite a few, so I'll just share one that he wrote the MOST emo poetry as a pining teen, something he will never admit to on pain of death as an adult. I'll also bring up the fact he's successfully taken over the world but still paying for cake as proof he's not as happy as he thought he'd be and eating his feelings about it in Act 2 lol
Unpopular opinion: No one reads deeply enough into him, everyone takes the bullshit he tells himself at face value even when he directly contradicts himself *eyetwitch* I often suspected I was literally the only person right about him lol. Also, the Gay Armor Marriage was incredibly touching, but not enough. He shouldn't have died at all. Also while I've read Jasper/Sylvando fic and enjoyed it before I don't really ship him or Hendrik with Sylv myself which kinda feels like a minority take in this fandomĀ 
A wish: At this point I can only hope he gets the Psaro treatment where his death is avoided entirely when the game is rereleased in like 25 yearsĀ 
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: I honestly don't want Square to revisit him, they treated him so harshly compared to other villains of the same caliber that pretty much got away with everything so yeah, just leave the angry wet cat man alone guys...
5 words to best describe them: Poor little meow meow supreme šŸ’›
My nickname for them: Bastard son, the Purple Titty Monster (for Unbound obviously)

I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING.
The South Park fandom šŸ˜­
Honestly I am apart of it and you may consider me as "those South Park fans" since I write fanfiction about them . BUT. PLEASE LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.
I probably won't be able to change all of your point of view but let me explain mine.
I don't not see anything wrong with minors having crushes on the sp boys . Since , who never had crushes in their lives honestly. And I also must say , aging them up and being a minor having a crush on the boys, DOESN'T MAKE IT WORSE. It litteraly could be way worse. Like a adult having a crush on one of the kids or not making them aged up for the fanfictions and stuff. Also i saw a lot of people saying that making them aged up is not a reason to simp for them... But then wouldn't you shouldn't be able to like the PC versions of them too? Since it's only the aged up version of them , yeah it might be in the show but it's still aged up.
Also the ships , i respect all ships , except the proships of course.(and Kyman) everyone has opinions about ships , but going under a Style post to say "Stendy is better" is just stupid asf.(Coming from a Stendy Shipper)
But some of the ships sometimes just don't make sense to me , and I just won't support it . No need to try and push me into liking it as well.
I also understand that some people may still find it weird that there ships of 10 years olds but there's nothing wrong , ships have always existed for every age and it has never been a real problem , and plus it's only innocent and childhood love exist. Though not everything is love , sometimes they just be friends and some people will see that a romantical love.
I also must talk about the Headcanons people make... I apologize if I offend anyone with this but some don't make sense at all.
Like Butters transitioning to Marjorine,I just cannot see Butters as a female when he is literally one of the biggest misogynistic guy in south park he might even be more than Cartman , also scene Kyle , is just kind of confusing since Kyle would NEVER be the kind of guy to be scene canonically..
Stan being a alcoholic is also a little confusing, though I understand it , but i think we all know how Stan would try to be different from his father and drink less. But I agree that it makes sense with Post Covid Stan . Kenny being gay is also very confusing , when Kenny is litterally one of the straightess character , he is shown to like woman during the whole show , so I don't understand why make him totally gay and not even bisexual or pansexual, which would be more logic. I don't have much to say about the way people Headcanon Cartman .
But for Wendy though I have a few things to say , first, some people always make her bitchy which is very very untrue she is a sweetheart and thought she gets very jealous she isn't the type to be mean to other girls her age , like shown with Lisa , she tried to help her.
Also the way some people make Tweek a small femboy bean and Craig a big bad boy šŸ’€ when we all know that Tweek would totally beat Craig's ass whenever he wants...
Anyways I'm done with that . Love y'all and good byee

Hola i just had a random thought about mixing names together and thought of Chongyun and Zhongli for fun and got... Chongli. I thought it sounded like a ship name but oml if people actually ship them that would be sooooo wrong because like Zhongli is like 5000 and Chongyun is 15? The age gap is literally bigger than my friends ego (which is very big). Anyways that was just a random thought hope i didnā€™t scare you :,)
I have very random thoughts as well, you won't be judged here.
Ahahaha dw I've done the same thing before. One time my sister and i were just coming up with the weirdest ships we could think of in Harry Potter.
Chongli. Yeah, I've said that accidentally before, because I watched a video on how to pronounce Liyue names and she said the zh is pronounced like a hard ch so me trying o pronounce it correctly, accidentally said chongli. My sister then told me that it sounds like Chongyun x Zhongli.
Our looks of disgust when we thought about it haha.
Chongyun's 17 according to Google, but it is 100% weird to ship Chongyun and Zhongli. The age gap is just weird. Tbf, any human character shipped with an ancient immortal is difficult to judge. So if we're going by age gap, the popular Zhongli x Childe is technically weird, it's just more accepted because Childe, contrary to his name, is an adult(e) and so is Zhongli.
Chongyun on the other hand is a teenager, still a minor/child, so him being shipped with Zhongli even if we ignore the 6000+ years old age, is still wrong, because Zhongli is still an adult and Chongyun is still a child.
Not you just casually insulting your friend lmaošŸ˜­
But no, you didn't scare me off, random thoughts are welcome in my inbox <3

ITS TERRIFYING OMG not that I self ship with him contrary to what everyone thinks ? I mean idk I just like him a lot but STORYTIME !!!
In one of my accounts thereā€™s this kaveh account I followed which is like rp but not in the self insert way itā€™s more like between the other characters and stuff it was cute plus that kaveh was the only canon one at the time none of the feminisation of him so I liked that account a lot it was rlly silly ,,, I followed them cause of how I liked how they would interact with the others BUT THEN THEY FOLLOWED ME BACK I WAS SO NDIEWOSKSMSKEEOS CAUSE WHYRE YOU FOLLOWING ME BACK I HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER šŸ˜­
Anyways thatā€™s a little different from the screenshot but I donā€™t even post selfshippy things anyways I just kinda go insane about him besides even if I did self ship Iā€™d feel uncomfy if they were to comment cause the mod is a minor šŸ˜­ I would never want to interact with them like that thatā€™s just weird even in a platonic sense

Ahhhh!!!!!!!! Just finished all 4 seasons of Stranger Things
So here are my thought
Love season 1; the cast are so tiny and young and it really sets up the characters
Love the whole group are exploring and find clues only to meet up later
I canā€™t for the love of god remember what happens in season 2
At first a didnā€™t know how to feel about max; really thought she was going to be a side character
Love season 3; but wow the begging half is so slow
A love the scoop troop (robin; Steve; Dustin; and Erica)
I think Steve charges really peaks in season 3. For nance I think from the get go she was a good character (after the whole barb being killed)
My favorite party kids is Dustin, love his dynamic with the teens :)
I also like hopps and Joyce dynamic too! I think they make a good couple; they both have flaws and they kind of make each other better? Get a weird Enemy to lovers vibe from them
Robin my beloved. She is definitely adhd-coded.
Hopper and elven dynamics is good too! I think elven makes hopper better (tho heā€™s super violent and I think thatā€™s not good)
Elven and mikes being a couple; :/ itā€™s alright I can take it or leave it
Season 4 isā€¦.complicated
Listen I know that the Upside Down needs a big bad but Vecaā€¦.hmmm I prefer of the main villain was just a monster instead of some guy
Hate that they try to make elven seems like a murder and evil and do the whole ā€œeleven and one are they same! Even tho one was literally just introduced this seasonā€¦ā€
I think Dustin x Susie is cute :)
At first I was supper big on max x Lucyā€™s but after witness season 4 I ship it!
Maaaaaaxxxxxxxxxxxx šŸ˜­
I saw on TikTok about Eddie and I thought he would be a super important character or at least a cool new add in to the teen squad butā€¦ā€¦.Eddie is just some guy
The bay scene and when Dustin is talking to the uncle made me emotional
Nancy and jothan need to break up. Listen they were good in season 1 but I think it was just a short term romance. Like you can see them not getting alone in season 3
I donā€™t like how they keep trying to make Steve be back with Nancy! Those 2 donā€™t need to be together! Theyā€™re grown as characters and then being back together feels like it would make their character worse?
:( they made Steven not want to hang out with Dustin likeā€¦.that his baby brotherā€¦..donā€™t
The whole Russian plot isā€¦..unnecessary? I feel like the whole Russian thing was defining unnecessary in season 4
The whole government/One thing gets kid of confusing
Love the fashion and the neon color background
Will is definitely gay and I hope he and Lucas have more characteristics in season 5
Mike in season 5 was justā€¦thereā€¦also him being the heart? Will, hon, mike is not the heart. Thatā€™s Dustin or you. Like one of those 2 is the glue of the group?!
Fruity four my beloved (tho I can really see any ā€œcanon evidenceā€ for Steve x Eddie. But wow I can definitely see evidence for Nancy x robin)
I definitely feel like Eddie will come back as the vampire/bad guy theory because just how popular his character is
I wish Chrissy wasnā€™t a minor character. It would have been cool to see a cheerleader in the teen group. Make the dynamic more interesting. Also god I want to know more about her background :(
Oh! I forgot the whole bullied elven part? Yeah that feel weird, like I know there trying to make eleven normal and have her being a teenager but the whole bully thing was completely dropā€¦so what was the point???
Arcgle is cool! I think he and Jonathan should be a couple :) or something
Uhhhhhh I hope in season 5 hopper and joce get married. And will x mike be canonā€¦

Operation: "Ignore the Shitty Live Action Winx Show and Just Rewatch the Cartoon for the First Time in Almost a Decade" part 39:
*Toph Voice* LET'S BREAK SOME RULES!
Tiny Aisha flashback!
With tiny Stella last episode and tiny Bloom in s1, I wonder if this means we'll get to see them all as kids eventually
Ok this is fucked
Piff & Aisha are really the only ones where I buy into the fairy/pixie magical bond. They really are adorable and heartwarming. I think part of it is just that Piff can't talk. The dynamic reminds me a little bit of Bloom & Kiko
Speaking of Bloom & Kiko, why the fuck is he not sleeping on her bed next to her anymore? I do not accept this
Yeah skip class!! Don't be a squares you guys deserve the break!
GARDENIA! Oh man, I'm so glad they're spending at least one episode there this season. With them starting the first ep right at Alfea and not doing a vacation episode either, I've really been missing it
Tumblr media
Gay
I've been wanting conent with the girls pretending to be normal earthlingsšŸ˜­šŸ™Œ This episode is feeding me so well already
Tecna and Flora are officially on team lame tho
*agressively ignores all canon Timmy/Tecna scenes and replaces it with my own version of them*
The fuck kinda cop makes it his business if 3 teenagers are skipping class?
These flashbacks with Aisha and her childhood friend are not gonna end well
Oh good. I was starting to worry the subplot with Bloom and her mom was gonna be entirely off-screen. Not that I don't love the other girls, but if an episode is gonna be set on earth I kinda want content with Bloom and her parents you know?
"In my dreams I hear lullabies from my biological mother. But yours I always carry with me. You and dad will always be my family"šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ
The way the most loving family on this show is the adoptive onešŸ‘Œ
Also thank fuck they're finally using the word "biological" instead of "real". I know that was always what they meant, but it was still a minor annoyance for me
Musa and Aisha are coming for Bloom and Stella's "dumbest duo" position
"I can't read, dumbass!" Hsddsgftg the fucking delivery of that line I'm cryingšŸ˜‚
The fact that the most accurate translation I can think of for even a child-appropriate Dutch insult says a lot about the language I think
Helia is fucking weird... I like him
Me loving so many different ships vs me being too attached too certain ships for certain characters FIGHT
Oh NOW they pay attention to their students. Where was this during all their near death experiences last year?
I forgot about the earth exclusive aura-seeing powers!
This is the first time I've wished this show had 40 minute episodes. There's just too many cool things going on with this visiting earth plotline and not enough time
How did these guys think fucking with magic users was gonna go?
I am once again emotional over Aisha. I cannot believe she was my least favorite as a kid. She's getting close to the top 3 now. Which is saying a lot because I would take a bullet for each and every one of those girls
"Talk about going from the frying pan into the fire" she says with a smile on her face. Gotta love that they've gotten so used to getting in trouble that they don't really care anymore
Aisha and FlorašŸ„ŗ
The friendships on this show really get to me. And I'm trying not to jinx it, especially since the preview for the next episode looks like something I'd hate, but it really feels like they're getting back in the groove with focusing on them more

Character break down for Gerry Keay? I really enjoy reading your thoughts on tma and its characters :)
Omg you are so kind šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ
How I feel about this character:
Heā€™s my favorite minor character! Part of that is because I have a bad memory, and he was one of the only ones mentioned often enough for me to remember him. But mostly itā€™s because we got to meet him in MAG 111 and he was tragic and charming and I fell in love instantly. (I think I have a curse that makes me fall for characters who die before the story begins? Itā€™s a trend šŸ˜”) I was beyond thrilled to hear more from him this season! I love his weird, dubious relationship with Gertrude.
All the people I ship romantically with this character:
JONGERRY RIGHTS!!!!!!!!!! Itā€™s about John being the first person to come to Gerry with kindness free of manipulation!!! Itā€™s about Gerry always trying to save the people in Johnā€™s statements!!! Itā€™s about John keeping his promise to burn Gerryā€™s page!!! Itā€™s about Gerry finally giving John that hot lore!!! Itā€™s about John being the first person to call him ā€œGerryā€ because heā€™s Gerryā€™s first real friend!!!
@screechfoxes and I were talking about John/Gerry/Georgie recently and thatā€™s really good, too. Or Gerry/Mike Crew where they meet on vacation? At one point I started writing a Gerry/Michael fic where post-Distortion Michael ends up in Gerryā€™s book with him, idk, Iā€™m down to ship pretty much anything. JonGerry is still king.
My non-romantic OTP for this character:
I would love for Gerry to have a single healthy, mutually supportive friendship once in his entire life but unfortunately heā€™s doomed to be tragic šŸ˜­ Anyway I think he & Georgie & Tim would get along really well. And John, obviously.
My unpopular opinion about this character:
I was ranting about him in the TMA Blades discord last week and part of it was about his naivety, which is an underrated aspect of his character in fandomā€”pre-death, at least, Gerry is much less cynical than I might expect of someone who grew up around so much horror. (Post-mortem is another story.) He strikes me as someone who, hm, ā€œwants to be lied toā€ sounds harsher than I mean, but to have lived with two incredibly ruthless and manipulative women while believing merrily that theyā€™re doing good in the world takes a certain type of personality. He seems to have easily transferred his allegiance from Mary to Gertrude, both of whom lied to him and others extensively. Heā€™s either overly trusting in general, or (more likely) he wants to believe them because of his relationships with them, to the extent that he ignores the obvious red flags. I like that about his character! We do him a disservice when we portray him as Pure Badass.
ETA: I think part of the reason heā€™s trusting like this is because he has so much love to give the world and very few outlets for itā€”demonstrated by the fact that he canā€™t help trying to save statement givers when he gets the opportunity to, even when heā€™s on vacationā€”so when he loves someone like Mary or Gertrude, he willfully ignores the fact that they treat his loving heart so poorly. He deserves people in his life who will cherish and reciprocate his love, but since this is a horror story we donā€™t have time for that.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:
LET JOHN AND GERRY BE FRIENDS! Let Gerry have friends! Goofy hijinks with the Archives crew, please! I also wish we knew more about his young childhood with Mary because that must have had a huge impact on his personality, but right now we can only imagine it & extrapolate based on his teen/adult characterization.
