having a dogshit terrible night but I'm also sneezing a ton, so it's very unfair that there's no one here to say nice things to me while I sneeze into them 🫤

No solid foundation for their relationship..... The themes of the show forgotten....... what the hell are you even talking about, what the fuck

As someone who did not have a dog in the fight, I’m still a little surprised ichigo and orihime were endgame ngl

[risingsunresistance]

something truly special about mcyt where people cant just leave it alone. if mcyt gets involved in something that gets attention, no one has the decency to go "ew" and slap the block button, they HAVE to make sure EVERYONE knows they hate it and hate you and want your day to be worse

Its always weird to me to have ppl act lik amy no longer being boy crazy is ruinning her character-im sorry but even as a kid the jokes abt her forcing herself onto sonic was never funny to me, it just made me hate her alot 😭

Its esp more frustratin when ppl treat it as “media not allowing girls to like boys” lmao girlie since when?

Lik im sorry but lines like “now theres no way of you escaping marrying me” werent funny

Theres nothing wrong with boy crazy characters but amy to me personally was just tackled horribly, i much prefer how draculaura from monster high(g1) was tackled-she ofc was boy crazy but it wasnt too much , her relationship w clawd was legitmently cute-unlike sonic n amy

❤️ for tintin if you're still doing the unpopular opinions ask game

OH RIGHT THIS GAME! OF COURSE! THANK YOU 💕

❤: Which character do you think is the most egregiously mischaracterized by the fandom?

*deep sigh* The most huh? What if I said Tintin himself? Look, I'm not against fanon interpretations and just going against canon because that's what you like and want to do. However, it gets really annoying when people take some interpretations as canon when it's actually not canon or, even if it is, not in the entirety of canon. And I think a big reason this happens with Tintin is because of the animated series, you know the classic one. Let me elaborate.

For many fans the cartoon series was their first approach to The Adventures of Tintin and for many of them it was a childhood favorite. This alone creates a bias, realizing it or not, especially if you haven't read the comics, the original material. Don't get me wrong, I love the cartoon and it's the most faithful adaptation we have of the comics but that doesn't mean it is faithful. Many scenes were cut, violence and alcoholism were limited to the point of changing scenes entirely (I'm looking at you Crab with the golden claws), heck even the official order of the episodes doesn't match the original publication order. There are many reasons for these decisions to have been made and it doesn't mean they're wrong, they just worked for this kind of media and for their target audience at that time (90s cartoons had many limitations regarding what it could be shown, including violence, but that's how we got artists getting creative with how to depict violent themes in a nonviolent way). Yet I have seen fans taking the ideas of this cartoon as if they are the original ones.

Tintin isn't a goody shoes. Tintin is very kind and caring but also chaotic and with his own values and ethics. He doesn't curse out loud and he represses many of his feelings and anger but he is also very patient and understanding. And most of all HE HAS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT! Tintin from the first albums and Tintin in the last ones isn't the same guy! I understand people liking his character more in the first adventures but you can't characterize him the same in the later albums. And it's not only because decades passed during the serialization and Herge as an artist and writer changed. It's also showcased in the story, Tintin slowly gets stable companions, friends he shares his adventures and even his life and slowly he becomes mellower and yet more open and honest, he likes his peaceful life and doesn't chase adventure unless it comes to him. How can you have Tintin after Picaros behaving like prior meeting Haddock? As if his previous adventures didn't happen and affect him?

And what the cartoon depiction of Tintin does is to take his softer and calmer traits of his character and show them during all his adventures, regardless of how he acted at each adventure. This works for making an iconic and stable hero of a cartoon but it's not like that in the comics. The movie does the opposite but I see more fans accusing it of mischaracterization although this wilder side is also part of Tintin.

So in summary, my annoyance comes when I see Tintin characterized the same throughout all his adventures although this isn't how he is in the comics and I think this is because of the effect the cartoon had on the fans. In my opinion, Tintin's character is hard to grasp and get because he's the two ends of a spectrum at the same time, calm but violent, patient but impatient (his limits are known to himself only, you can try to kill him and not yell at you but you try to kill yourself and he'll make you regret it), selfless to the point of not caring about himself but selfish enough to do what he wants and believes is right etc.

He's such a fascinating character with many layers and it makes me sad when I see people read him as one dimensional character with no space for changes and development. However every person can have their own interpretation and such and I'm not the fandom police here so go have your fun!

I am about ready to go lie down on the train tracks if it will free me from the hell of corporate emails between five separate companies where there is a simple problem that three of them could fix easily but for some reason they don’t understand that & have created an infinite email loop between them, so it ends up becoming my job to tell one of them that they need to fix it.

I didn’t cause the problem. I can’t fix the problem myself. But I still have to tell someone else, who is already aware of the problem due to the aforementioned emails, that they need to fix the problem. Oh yes & my company pays that company to take care of those problems. 🙃

Just let oblivion take me I’m ready to be free.
