getting into ben 10 is so sad bc I binge the entire OS and am like wow cant wait for more and then every other series doesnt have the things I liked about OS and even casual fans online say that 10yo Ben's character in OS is more compelling than all the others but theres barely any of him after OS

#how did that episode in ultimate alien when it brought back 10yo ben make him 10 times more compelling #but only his 10yo self and not his current self in the show #but fr it was so sad learning that they immediately jumped straight to a 5 year timeskip after OS #plus artstule change plus recast plus major personality shift plus redesign #like looking at alien force ben next to OS ben idk who the hell that is bc thats not ben #its fine like im chill with just being neutral/uninterested in the later series and just sticking with OS #thats the power of fandom #i dislike his omniverse characterization but that doesnt mean i dont love rook #and i wont stick him into OS as a self indulgent au #theres also multiple things i like about the later series for sure tho like #1 rook like i just said but also #ben and gwens relationship. i love that they didnt play around with them in AF #and doom dimension likeee #i dont like how theyre written in AF and UA but that stuff is bomb #i think it all boils down to me wishing the show didnt feel split up in eras with different versions of the characters #and it was more linear #like instead of instant 5 year timeskip it was like. now ben and gwen are 11 or 12. maybe even 13 #it shows more development that isnt just a huge jump from 0 to 100 #ben getting more mature is the natural progression of his character but also #its the fact that they gave him major development in OS then changed everybody so jarringly they didnt even feel like the same characters #like theres a reason OS ben is the most compelling #it should have been more linear close together and less broken up in my opinion #pandas.txt #they just made ben look so normal and boring in most of the clips ive seen in the later series #plus not even feeling like the same guy #maybe ill try and watch the reboot #it rlly is chill tho bc im fine with just liking OS its a great show #anything i wanted to see i can just think of in my head myself and now i have a bunch of stuff to play around with #once i get more into it #bc this show is so fun and great and i love it i rlly do wanna stick with it

#lotus try to go one day without thinking abt skk challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)#also poses in the first img are referenced from thegrayninja on deviantart!!#nobody in this fandom draws chuuya just constantly floating around as opposed to walking and i think thats a crime #if you think a 15yo boy w gravity powers wouldn't absolutey abuse the shit out of that ability and just refuse to walk #then you're wrong. and you know it.#ik for a fact my lazy ass would take advantage of the fact that i could just move freely in the air and not have to waste energy walking #wish dazai didn't have nullification bc then chuuya could pick him up and they could recreate the hmc scene (chuuya would drop him /hj)#bungou stray dogs #bungo stray dogs #bsd #chuuya nakahara #nakahara chuuya #dazai osamu #osamu dazai #soukoku #skk #lotus draws

1000 years of prison to anyone that depicts your ship as a heteronormal bs instead of owning up that people can have a much wider variety of dynamics in relationships

Cherik fic idea in the style of "the professor' husband" aka the students being amazed by Charles and love doing the missions and stuff and he helps them and all. He also talks fondly of his husband whenever they ask if he's single and goes on how amazing his husband is and all of that. They don't know it's Erik. The mansion is too large and Erik doesn't come around the student quarters.

Shenanigans happen when some students spot a strange guy lurking in a second kitchen or seeing Magneto walking out of Charles' bedroom and the students think he's been kidnapped.

#not an original idea I've read fics like that in other fandoms and loved them to bits thats why #i jst love it when erik is astonished by the xmens loyalty while he's just some very powerful guy #cherik #fanfic #x-men #fanfic prompt

well while yall gripe with jjk's ending i shall continue my sashisu kaisen. remember: if youre unsatisfied, fanworks are your saviour!

#/lh btw #criticism of geges writing is perfectly fine #and the desire for a more satsifying canonical ending with no loose ends is valid #but its not the end of the world!!!#instead of putting your energy towards sending hate and death threats to gege #try putting it towards creating a conclusion youre happy with or engaging in content that someone else made that does #fanart fanfics random thoughts and hcs that dont have a concise structure #yall got all of these at your disposal!!!! go create your ideal jjk!!!!!!!!#if youre not happy with geges overall writing then at least be happy that he gave you these characters #bc with the foundation he laid for them you have all the power in your hands now to create what you want #and i say all of this as someone who was a fan of kny and tr when their mangas were ending #trust me i understand the dissapointment yall are feeling #but dont let canon get you down #if the canon is imperfect or less than ideal then thats honestly great!!!#it gives fan creators a lot more to work with and more content to keep the fandom thriving as a whole #which is what i hope a lot of people would want #jujutsu kaisen #jjk #jjk 271 #gege akutami #sashisu

tbh i think i just find it more interesting to appreciate dean how he is and have zero interest in proving his general goodness. like maybe if i Didnt find that specific type of character so compelling id be more invested in mischaracterisation (though id like to think not <3).

but a lot of hellers/extreme deangirls dont approach spn like a horror show with the thesis 'family is hell' (which is what it initally Is) they approach it like a fantasy-comedy-action show with a funny bisexual mc and his gay angel bf. either because they're not interested or because theyre uncomfortable with the actual show thats there. which is their prerogative! like sure i guess. you do you.

but its interesting bc it means we have 2 fanbases which are rabidly different to each other and get completely different things out of the show and yet keep brushing up against each other. we parcel it into 'samgirl' and 'deangirl' but that makes it sound like its literally just Fans Of The Character when tons of samgirls (myself included <3) love dean. the real dean that is. (also even samgirl fandom is ripe w misinterpretation but all fandoms have that at least theyre kind-of misinterpreting the same show as me. deangirl fandom is something entirely different.)

#of course i would say that the spn that hellers like is entirely invented. but they can do that if they want. love and light. it just annoys #me when i have to see it. which of course would not be a problem if we werent all sharing a fandom.#also samgirl-style misinterpretation tends to be Romanticisation & misunderstanding the power dynamic #goes hand in hand with like a third of wincesties. 'omg sam has sooo much power over dean <3. wow they are both so totally constantly #on the same level. sam is crazyyyy.'#which like... its not True. but at least we're talking roughly about the same source material #i think hellers r mostly interested in something thats. not quite the source material. which is. well. <3 #spn #supernatural #oliver talks

Im gonna say something controversial

Some of you are disappointed in the Agatha All Along finale because you expected too much.

#agatha all along #agatha harkness #william kaplan #this is still marvel and marvel doesn't just make throw away projects ESPECIALLY one this connected to the timeline. they need to leave som #things open to further the story that is the MCU. thats how marvel projtects work.#why is Billy here? cus its a show about witches thats an off shoot from WV and they need to reintroduce Billy back in for future projects #like how Monica was in WV ans that set up her powers for the marvels. or Spiderman in Civil war to set up Spiderman in the MCU. or Agatha i #WV to set up Agatha All Along. thats how marvel works #mcu #marvel mcu #mcu fandom #yall do this all the time. you expect the Planets and get upset when they give you the moon.#.........#i saw someone say why didnt Rio and Agatha live happily ever after..... this might be on Disney but it not a fairy tale. Marvel doesn't do #happy endings. go to ao3 for that. the happiest ended we had in awhile was FATW and then Thunderbolts came and ruined it.#and maybe the marvels? idk i haven't watched it yet(no time not hate). ig maybe Hawkeye? but she had to put her mom in jail. no happy ending

Literally crying (the good kind) after watching that trailer for like the fifth time today and I'm just so overwhelmed because this show Middle Earth and everyone in it is so important to me and these trailers have been so epic and beautiful full of emotion and light and dark and everything I love from Tolkien and LOTR films (since the trilogy was how I first got into Middle Earth) and I never thought I'd see something that would compare to LOTR Trilogy but The Rings of Power truly does. I care so much about these characters just like I do Frodo and Sam and Aragorn and Eowyn etc.

And it also makes me emotional hearing Bears beautiful rousing score once again he is gonna knock it out of the park. Im crying at Celebrimbor at Elronds desperate fight to save the world and people he loves at Galadriel and the huge weight she carries. I am so invested in them all.

It looks phenomenal from the music and costumes to the dialogue and set pieces this world is real they have made magic and it deserves so much appreciation so much love because I can see that it is made with heart and soul and is a story for all time, one that I am so grateful to hold so close.

#the rings of power #ignore me im emotional #I also of course include our wonderful fandom in this #and the excitement and anticipation that has been building makes it so much fun #a very ate night ramble when I should be sleeping haha #but I remember on a LOTR documentary a fan made one #and there was this booth that you could go in and say why you love LOTR #and one guy just went on about how he wanted to hug and hold it tight and have it rain on him lol or something #and thats how I feel about TROP #It is so special to me and LOTR and TROP have helped me and always do help me #get through things like losing my dear cat this year it hurts ike hell #but this world is an escape and a hope and Middle Earth is so much more than just another fantasy world #it feels authentic and the fact trop has captured that magic means so much to me #I can't wait for s2!!!

H.I.V.E.mber Prompt 9: Ruby

In my head NumberOne-Verlord's mindscape form is various kinds of terrifying; he's the agonized amalgamation of Otto's father and the digital parasite that destroyed him from the inside out. That should be all kinds of messed up.

#yes canonically Overlord's a head and tbh this isnt my canon design for him #but this is a fun alternative for the inbetween period when they were sharing a body #and was a good chance to play around with potential concepts for the real deal #also Overlord=Fangs to me that's never changing #h.i.v.e.#higher institute of villainous education #HIVEmber2024 #overlord #number one #these two are kind of underrated in the fandom and thats a crying shame #What's not to love about the most powerful villain of all time and his parasitic usurper? They're so fun #h.i.v.e. fanart #fanart time

'theyre boss and indentured employee" though i agree snd i find codywan annoying bc is everywhere and ppl dont even tag it and act like is default, rexwalker is also boss and indentured employee 😭😭 😭 still love them lmao

I mean yeah lmao pm all of the Jedi/clone commander ships have this power imbalance. The post was about how fan bases act lol. rex/Walker fandom ime at least is much more willing to admit and confront the imbalance (tho keep in mind that doesnt mean they do it WELL) esp compared to Cody/wan fandom. It's always been one of my biggest beefs with cw fandom, that they handwave away the power imbalance, the age difference, etc. while at the same time being really judgy about many of the "problematic" ships and characters. The fact that they act like it's canon and everyone ships it or should ship it just elevates that frustration.

#anti codywan #anti codywan fandom #anon #anonymous #rw fandom has its issues esp bc certain factions get realllyyy uppity about speaking for the whole fabdom lmao #and the victim complex of some factions but like it is pretty good about knowing its not canon and acknowledging #the power imbalance #i mean maybe thats just in my anecdotal experience but shrugs #like i know theres codywans that are good about acknowledging shit but theres huge swaths of that fanbase that seem to think #making obiwan bottom fixes all the problems 🙄#like this isnt about cw being morally inferior like arguably its equally imbalanced as rw #it was about fandom behavior vs canon reality
