i think it’s really funny that all the people in the tags of that poll saying to vote chucker are people who are still active participants in the fandom meanwhile there’s like one person saying to vote lolix who’s still active. it’s what i’ve always said felix girlies are NOT loyal you’re coming crawling back to vote on a poll well we all know where your loyalties lie.
#except for z my friend z he’s always loyal 🙏#oh you love lolix soooo much huh well where are you. off flirting with some floozies#meanwhile the chucker girlies have BEEN here we’ve BEEN putting in the work to make this relationship work#you all see some shiny new fandom with things like ‘new content’ and ABANDON your boys behind#‘oh they haven’t been in the show in 7 years!’#ALPHAS BEEN DEAD FOR 15 YEARS AND IVE ONLY BEEN HERE FOR TEN#TEN YEARS I BEEN HERE WITH A CHARACTER WHO WASNT GETTING NEW CONTENT THE ENTIRE TIME#yet here i was. down in the trenches. down in the MINES. WORKING for that chucker content#because i understand LOYALTY. i understand COMMITMENT.#you return to our dying fandom to say this; that you love lolix?#only now? in this moment of prosperity?#WHERE WERE YOU WHEN WE WERE AT OUR LOWEST. DURING 18. DURING THE CONTROVERSIES.#when there was no light at the end of our tunnel that promised a little ship poll about#you were off with your little blorbos living it up on the sunlight. well i hope you had fun with your ‘new content’ and ‘creators who give a#shit about the media you love’#so when you wanna come crawling back and voting lolix just know. you can have your little win. but the TRUE rvb fans know who they are

like what do you MEAN you know about those stupid “real voice” compilations and people absolutely clowning about jumpcuts and smudged whiskers and what do you MEAN you’re aware of those 2009 phan theories people still debate to this day? what happened to “i don’t check my indirects” “i don’t go on the tags”?? i bet you’re lurking RIGHT NOW reading this very post. all men do is lie. can’t trust anyone 😤😪
#/j#dnp#dan and phil#pinof#phan#gamingmas 2023#yeet my deet#dan howell#daniel howell#amazingphil#phil lester#danisnotonfire#i didn’t participate in the phandom until they came out#i was an older phannie i started watching at age 16#so i knew better#so this feels like i’m being punished for something i didn’t do#and having always been mortified and embarrassed by the shit yall would say back in the day#my only respite was “ok maybe dnp didn’t see this”#no they’ve seen EVERYTHING#you’re past is coming back to haunt you but your past is also coming back to haunt me lmao#to be clear i am part of the problem simply for consuming phan/phandom media at the time and therefore giving those videos views#but i was always terrified of the phandom#like i didn’t even consider myself part of the phandom for my first 4 years as a phannie#i was a closet demon phannie lol#i started participating after they came out and we were all actual adults about it and super respectful#i was like we’re all old and gay now i love this for us#yeet my deenp#bog

sometimes i do not want to consume a media and justify my liking it by making it known that im aware of it's faults and loving it despite, sometimes i just want to love things wholly and unapologetically because it made me feel something and even if it was a little fucked up it did nothing to reduce the amount of love i held for it
im aware it's not perfect, but let me love it like it is, if only because it makes me happy
#vu talks shit#i sit atop a throne of cringe medias i love#and sometimes i just get tired of starting every conversation about these things with#'now im aware it's not perfect BUT'#im aware of the faults already but if you ask me about my interests im not here to talk about the bad parts of them#i want to talk about the parts that made me love them dearly augh#this is way too mushy for 3 in the afternoon

Yeah, it was a strange one the way it played out. To be honest, the more I've spoken to some of the parties involved and the more has kind of emerged, the less clear it's got actually how it's been handled, which I'd like to say is unusual in Formula One. Maybe it's not because people don't always act in F1 with their true intentions upfront. But I think the way you described it as [Daniel] processing it in real time and learning it at the same time as us, I think it's pretty much how it happened. The key thing was that Ricciardo was aware that something was going on. He's not immune to speculation. He tries not to engage with it too much, but obviously either he or the people around him are feeding him the main things. He knew that there was a deadline approaching for a decision, which primarily he thought was all about 2025. The main thing that changed was going into the Singapore weekend, the speculation had intensified that it could be about right now, a change right now. But when they went into the Singapore weekend, I know there's been a few reports and claims and counter claims around this, Helmut Marko, for example, has said that Riccardo did know because Lawson had known for two weeks already. But I don't think that's true. Bear in mind, Marko has been saying at various points this year that it could be Ricciardo's last race … I was on the phone to someone close to Riccardo last week and he joked that 'we've been sacked since April, so this hasn't really come out of the blue', that's what they've been dealing with. But I think what happened was that Ricciardo took control of the narrative over the course of the Singapore weekend. As far as I can understand, the best I can make out, nobody told Riccardo explicitly, this is your last race, we will be replacing you after this. He knew that there was a very, very good chance, probably 99% chance he was losing his drive for Lawson for the following year. And then there started to be more and more noise about it being a change for now. But he had been told during the summer break that he was good for the rest of the season, basically. So I think he was reacting to the speculation. Nobody gave him an absolutely explicit, this is 100% done and we are going to confirm that Lawson's in and you're out. So Riccardo went into the Singapore weekend saying everything he said on the Thursday, which was, you know, I wouldn't bet my house on being here at the end of the year, but that's what I expect. As far as he was aware, it was all about 25, nothing else, blah, blah, blah. But then through the weekend, you saw that change. You know, he was kind of as you said, processing it, the speculation was more intense than ever. Some of the broadcast, like the Sky Sports F1 stuff was very much laying it on thick that they understood this was his last race, etc etc. And I think Riccardo just rolled with that and just went right, Red Bull aren't going to do anything here, they're not actually going to make this official. I need to act like this is my last race weekend because I think this is going to be my last race weekend. And if I don't do it, no one's going to do it for me, which is a really sad way for it to have played out, but it just speaks to how confusing this whole mess has been.

#you know what I do love to shit on The Race but I have to give them props - they have continuously repeated that Daniel absolutely did#not know anything Thurs/Fri and that his demeanour and attitude changed throughout the weekend#they also are the only media outlet I've seen call out Marko/Horner/Red Bull's bullshit PR spiel about Daniel being told weeks ago#so kudos to them for being the only outlet even attempting real critical thinking journalism that isn't just taking Red Bull at their word#daniel ricciardo#dr3#singapore gp 2024

Okay mean. Mean mean mean. I don’t get people who love Bruce AND can’t handle thinking about who he is/what he’s done. It’s a confusing an irritating stance. I can’t wrap my mind around it.
“He had his reasons and he’s my baby AND he’s traumatized AND he spends literally all his time and money literally saving the world.” fine. Understandable. I get it. Carry on thinking about his hairy tits
“He never did that.” Completely incomprehensible. Pisses me off on his behalf a little bit. What? You wouldn’t love Bruce if he DID do all that? Where’s your loyalty. Especially then they’re saying “Bruce doesn’t think [statement Bruce has made multiple times]” support his wrongs
#like okaaayyyy I get it I do get it#Batman animated media is not Batman comics and also like#‘I don’t really want to think about it’ but like. beeee so for real and block people who say nasty things about your baby#if you don’t love nasty baby#and especially don’t talk shit on other characterrrsss#I cut the sentace for length but you can imagine literally anything there except for ‘he never did that’#they (people your baby hurt) deserved it is baffling. but he had his reasons whatever I don’t have to vibe with everyone

man some of y'all have never learned the home training of "keep your hate/critique out the main tags and on your own blog or in critical tags" and then wonder why ppl be vagueblogging or reblogging with disagreements like you didn't show up to the crochet lovers group telling everybody how crocheting was actually Not Fun At All and really hard and doesn't make sense to enjoy, or Problematic, actually instead of keeping it in the group chat with the haterella besties
#we are the series#love sea the series#playboyy the series#and i know ppl are gonna be like “so what we can't critique things now? we should be able to critique media”#baby i didn't say you couldn't like waffles i just said i like pancakes that's a whole new sentence#i'm just saying y'all can't post about how much you Dislike A Thing and then get salty when ppl are like “hey what the fuck bro”#when you come into their house and tell them their decor sucks#like maybe their decor does suck but you're still in their house bro!#just say their decor sucks in your house with the friend group and then ppl won't be like “hey what the fuck bro”#b/c it's your house you can say whatever you want#chaos pikachu speaks#do y'all know how many shows and actors that are hella popular i think are mid af?#do i post that shit in the tags? no i don't and if I did#and the fans were like why are you such a bitch I'd be like fair cause I came into y'alls house

Toei does not like Vegeta part #12849, this is their Vegebul moment.
vs Toriyama's Vegebul moment:
I will continue complaining under the cut (with additional samples)
toei's vegebul moment:
Toriyama's Vegebul moment:
toei's:
toriyama's:
ykwim??
I'm don't even want to talk about how bad they fucked up the Goku Black arc from what I can tell so far so just have this instead
LIKE THEY EVEN CHANGED WHERE VEGETA WAS SITTING??
WHY?
FOR WHO??
ANYWAY it's fine if you like the anime I'm just gently loudly suggesting reading the manga if you're a fan of Vegeta and Bulma separately and/or together
#Toei loves writing him hesitant and Toriyama is like 'no Vegeta will headbutt god for his wife in public he's just not used to PDA yet'#the GB arc is literally. like. Vegeta's Entire Motivation in that plot is Trunks telling him Zamas killed Bulma#and Vegeta wanting to beat that man To Death on Live TV#And then Trunks telling Vegeta how much his mom loved him and missed him and Vegeta being so emotional about it he instigates fusion#And Bulma jumping him when he gets home because Bulma does love and miss him so so much and in the Very Next Arc she's pregnant#anywaY READ THE MANGA IF YOU HAVEN'T IT'S GOOD SHIT IDK WHAT TOEI'S DOING#PLUS you'll get to meet Vegeta's boyfriend Granolah and I think Bulma would approve of it and invite him over for a fun weekend#dbtag#idek what to tag this#media crit#i guess

I disagree that the daddy kink convo should've been replaced with a heartfelt meaningful conversation about their mutual issues with their fathers because as much as you complain that the relationship isn't developed for Buck, it isn't developed for Tommy either, and it would be a disservice to the reserved guy that Lou says that Tommy is to make him immediately open up to someone without showing the proper progression and storyline leading up to that
the kink convo worked for both characters (both are just dawgs i guess), it was very mutual, and i still don't understand the perspective that Tommy's comment came out of nowhere, i run based off of the assumption that all flirty buck convos are... flirty...????
I understand why people want this, because the acknowledgement of Buck's parental issues comes with a burning desire to have a genuine conversation about it, but something that fits his character should not come at the cost of another character.
A scene should fit to everyone involved, and at most, it should've been a kind of... maybe a conversation of buck going 'yeahh... i got issues with my dad, that's why Bobby means so much to me, he's kinda like the dad i never had.' and Tommy's response being 'Yeah, i see that... my dad sucked but i had Gerrard who sucked too, so... yeah... he's the dad i already did have lol.'
OH...
OH WAIT...
ITS ALMOST LIKE THEY DID.
this conversation should happen eventually, but when it actually has meaning. At a point where Tommy is actually going to be willing to open up a little more (since we kinda see that he is a little bit more reserved with Buck still in this season), and maybe it's in favour of servicing Buck as a character, or Tommy, or BOTH. But you cannot put a character on the line bc you pearl clutch over the fact that your 'baby' pretty boy fucks severely.
#i dont even give that big of a fuck about this ship guys okay i just dont get the drama#theyre grown men#let them kink it up#the season as a whole was kinda messy so lets just ignore your lack of media literacy for a moment and then we'll wait for s8 where they#realise yall lack the nuance to think critically and dumb this relationship down for you and make them the stereotypical palatable gay ship#so you shut the fuck up... and then you'll probably cream yourselves over how much you love it#brain rot. all of you. you cannot comprehend anything ever oh my god#911 abc#911 show#IM HERE FOR HENREN AND MADNEY OKAY#IM SICK OF TALKING ABOUT THIS SHIT LET ME TALK ABOUT MY ALTERNATIVE MADNEY WEDDING IDEA OKAY#bucktommy#kinkley#evan buck buckely#tommy kinard

people who insist that things like shipping or headcanoning are bad because its "disrespectful to the writers" and you can ONLY appreciate canon things are fucking hilarious to me, like if im not allowed to headcanon anything and have to live by all canon things then i would have to accept that saiki is transphobic and kaido and kuboyasu are homophobic
#im not doing that#its funny to think about though#btw this doesnt usually happen on places like tumblr and honestly not so common in internet fandoms in general#this is more what youll hear irl when you encounter dudebros who happen to like the same media as you#irl male anime fans love saying this shit#they dont understand fandom... and the writers would HATE them cuz we're the ones keeping this shit alive man#i dont even understand the logic behind this mindset cuz like ?? wheres the line ?? are we not allowed to theorize or anything ?? at all ??#saiki k#tdlosk#the disastrous life of saiki k.#meows post

Can you believe that I used to be a tumblr person, and then left for a few years and was a person who had a lot of sex, and now I’m back to being a tumblr person and it’s way more fun than being a sex person
#y’all can go fuck if you wanna but rn being a no sex person is sooo nice#like yes that’s cause I’m asexual and was just overcompensating so hard#but I’m having a great time#my therapist says she’s proud of me#and geniinly one of my fav things about being back is that 100% of my thoughts can be here without filer#love my friends but they’re not into much nerd shit#and my other social media needs to be 20% more filtered than this#shitposting#yapping#thoughts#relatable#asexual

One of the many things that I've been doing instead of writing are these damn manwha binges and Villain To Kill is literally so funny. The comic premise is straightforward action, think Tokyo Ghoul meets Solo Leveling - local Genetically Superpowered Superhero Cop working for corrupt Hero Organization gets #betrayed and #murdered and is reincarnated into the body of a Genetically Superpowered Villain Teenager so now he has to join up with all the other villain superpower people to get justice.
It's so 5/10. Cassian is extremely OP and the story isn't well-written enough to pull that off well. The worldbuilding is so incredibly nonsensical and weak that it falls apart if you think about it for more than five minutes (tried to write fic for it and failed because I would have had to rework the entire world - which, I could have, but that's a lot of effort for Villain to Kill). The plot is mostly any OP action hero plot where guy gets increasingly powerful by fighting increasingly powerful guys. Cassian himself has almost nothing going on internally, to the point of elegance. And it is somehow the gayest manwha I've ever read.
It's the fucking character designs. And like its narrative but it's the fucking 100/10 character designs. The entire cast's design and characters slam. There's not that much depth but we don't care. You know if we don't like somebody if they look vaguely straight, and you know that we like somebody if they look like they were set to tumble dry in the queerness washing machine. The (great!) women are high femme or hard butch. The corrupt institution assassinated a man Cassian loved and framed & murdered him, at which point he was adopted by a rag-tag bunch of flamboyant homosexuals deemed unacceptable and undesired by society who all teamed up and decided to villainize society in exclusively funny ways and spend most of their time gossiping or hacking the Pentagon. An AFAB character dresses as a man and goes by he/him pronouns half the time for no good reason. Cassian is physiologically incapable of thinking about anything but violence so the heartwarming found family scenario's going over his head, but his Painfully Het Hero Foil Indoctrinated Into Homophobia caught the found family ball and now he's dancing in their gay bars and dressing in drag. There's only a few characters who are explicitly gay but this is gayer than that.
I talked a while back about how important a decent supporting cast is to a good story, and this is yet again good proof. Looking at this, I think I'd go further and say - it's an action manwha, we're reading it for a reason, we don't need character-driven story arcs or really complex characters. I think it's just charisma. A story can go really far on characters with charisma.
TV Shows that are carried on the lead actor (Columbo I love you) - it's because the actor has charisma. You watch it to see the actor hang out being himself. That's way way harder to do in fiction, but I think that "a complex character" isn't necessarily a "charismatic character". I'd rather have a cast of only charismatic characters rather than only complex ones. A story of any genre needs a strong cast of charismatic characters. They can be deep or they can just be chaotic lesbians. Charisma invests the reader in the story and the characters. It's simple but it's really powerful. And it is fucking hilarious how sometimes all you need to do on that front is "Rupaul this shit".
I can't genuinely recommend Villain to Kill and this is not a recommendation. But random stuff always interests me like this, and I really had no idea that I would read 120ch of a manwha bc the designs fuck so hard. Also, like, this is queerest manwha I've ever read. Somehow. Fucking somehow.
#I have never given a shit about a supporting cast manwha character but#Driver I love you every time you're on panel im like ':D DRIVER!'#i'll tag it#villain to kill#for visibility but this rly isn't intended as a criticism#It feels like we're finally getting canon homosexuality but in a lot of media canon gays have the queerness drained out of them#what's gayer? gay sex? or being ostracized by society for being cooler and sexier and more interesting than they are?#even the Hero Cops we like are kinda fruity just in a neoliberal way#my asks#my posts
