You see, the concept of Nes/sian? Chefs kiss. Perfection. The execution? Absolutely horrid. A nightmare.

You know one thing I wanted to touch upon is how among all Weasleys and yes ALL of them, Percy Weasley is the academic kid and him speicifically being singled out hurts.
Oh you can argue Bill is smart and bla blah whatever, he's cool sooo.
But Percy?
He likes writing reports and being in charge. He likes to talk and is passionate about stuff other ppl find boring. He's stubborn and prideful and has a desk job and is unathletic.
AND I CAN RELATE TO THAT.
Like yes maybe not all, I'm still anxious and hate public speaking and socialising but I am similar to Percy in a way.
So when JK decided to make him the 'Bad Weasley' it hurts me because I saw me in him. I really did.
And also the lost potential?
Having someone be intelligent is treated as a damn sin in the HP books! Hermione is excluded because of it and is also the only exception because everyone else who is smart is treated like f*cking shit in the books!
(AND NO dumbledore is not smart, screw him)
Percy, Cho, Cedric, Padma all these characters, one thing I can say they have in common is their intelligence and book smart ( doubtful ab Cedric but whatever)
And Percy had so much potential to be someone in the war who did the "actual" saving, no maybe not fight physically with Deatheaters but instead save the Muggleborns from being unjustly killed for existing.
Fight Deatheaters or Save Innocents? Which is more important- you decide.
AND IT'S NOT DIFFICULT TO INCORPORATE PERCY DOING THIS! There's already this scene of the trio in the Ministry in the 7th book, just add something like Percy giving one of the disguised 3 some document of Muggleborns, it would make Ron re-think what he thought of his brother, HELL it would make book 7 so much more memorable and suprise the audience
BUTTTT NOOOOOOO, Hp books just want to drill the same point -
Academia bad, Sport and stupid fighting good
#percy weasley#percy weasley centric#the lost potential#spy percy#we could have had it all#can media stop treating booksmart and academics being bad?#why is wanting knowledge ALWAYS treated as being bad in so many shows like cmonnnnn

If there‘s one thing that absolutely floors me about Rings of Power it’s the casting of Celebrimbor.
If you KNOW that you are making 5 seasons over the course of 10 years why the fuck did you cast a 53 year old dude who will be 61 by the last season when elves are supposed to look ageless. On top of this he should technically be similar in age or YOUNGER than Galadriel.
Elves live for thousands of years at the peak of their physical abilities and casting someone who looks more like a wizard or King of a human kingdom is confusing, lore breaking, and insane.
And I’m not even going to talk about his hair. It’s too depressing.

I'm genuinely so upset about the SaB cancellation... Despite everything I still had hope but Netflix obviously had to crash it and cancel the show like they do with every good story on their platform.
And why couldn't they just have announced it months ago instead of clowning us like this???
What is media becoming when writers don't even know how to write their seasons because they don't know if their show is getting renewed or not... cancellation feels like a constant threat and fandoms can't even get excited about a piece of media in case they cancel it.
No mournings no funerals but I'm mourning for sure

It’s 1am and I can’t sleep because I’m just obsessing over what could have been in A Crown of Candy if things had gone differently.
Spoilers for ACOC ending below -
Jet and Annabelle both abdicating and going off adventuring the seas together, free of the burden and responsibility of ruling.
Jet and Ruby figuring out their relationship with Saccharina together, distrustful at first but slowly letting her in and giving her the sisterhood and companionship she longed for her whole life.
Caramelinda and the twins slowly learning to understand each other, having new empathy for their wildly different perspectives on life as they all had their worldview shattered and remade, slowly rebuilding their relationship.
Amethar learning to love all three of his daughters for their differences and their similarities.
Just… man, I love Jet. Why did Brennan have to do that? Take away all those possible futures? 😭

the joys of a keychain (wow! little object) vs the fears of a keychain (What If It Vanishes)
#raii talks a lot#if i lose my blue beetle keychain i’ll actually throw myself into the sun. hello. god#should be noted that i’ve never lost a keychain by putting it on something but the terror of that potential is real

Tragic: Guy you based your entire villain backstory on doesn't even remember you
#art#comic#sonic the hedgehog#sth#shadow the hedgehog#infinite the jackal#sonic fanart#sonic#sonic forces#My funny BTS on this comic is Shadow's initial response was 'sounds like cope but okay' but I wanted something less internet-pilled LOL#I've drawn more Sonic Forces fanart than I intended but it is EXCLUSIVELY because I think Infinite is SO funny#I'm gonna shove him in a locker#Bro lost a fight once and it shattered his self esteem#He's been practicing his evil laugh for months and when he finally gets his chance Shadow hits him with the 'I don't know you'#Also since this is taking off I want to clarify: I am a hater in the silly sense. I understand why Infinite has fans#The bones of a good character are there it’s just the writing of this game failed him So Bad#Forces is my least fave Sonic game but I can’t stop thinking about it because of its missed potential#Forces tries to make a lot of very serious plot points but the impact is just not there. It becomes unintentionally funny as a result

it’s weird. I’m a fan of a lot of Nintendo franchises. But I’ve been So routinely disappointed by their most recent main games that I’m just. Not even sure what to think anymore? Anyway-
#arti says things#In order of most recent to least recent.#side order. While fun#is disappointing in terms of story and feels unfinished#Scarlet and violet… I have the same criticism anyone else does#tears of the kingdom is cool gameplay wise. But this story is so disappointing it makes me want to Bite something#THE LOST POTENTIAL#Anyway#here’s to hoping nintendo does better.

nooo but like.. what if starkiller base was an ancient weapon created by an oppressed people to free themselves from slavery.. and the resistance, republic and first order were all racing each other to find out where it’s hidden… what then???
and the machine requires someone who is force sensitive to give their whole essence to it so in preparation the first order has been capturing force sensitive children from all over the galaxy…
#and Finn was one of them…..#the LOST POTENTIAL#the fact that I think about the sequels so much is honestly terrible for my mental health tbh#star wars#sw sequels#finn#fn 2187

mourning black and the death of ideals
#i haven't moved on from this yet. btw. i'm still here#finally decided to draw the thought i've been ruminating over for days on end bc it's like a parasite eating away my brain#stated this on the initial post i made days ago but there's just smt so gut wrenching and sickening#about how dazai will have worn black exactly twice in his life: once as a member of the mafia and now at kunikida's funeral#a color that initially signified devotion to the mafia and his demon prodigy alias now signifies his grief#him having to wear black again at the funeral of another doomed fatalist who chose his heart over his survival. his own partner.#kunikida's death being so reminiscent of the tragedy that initially caused him to defect and flee#and everything tying together full circle and effectively breaking him#asagiri rly said fuck knkdz it's doppover we lost gang 😭😭😭#why did bro leave that fucking notebook behind#fool. do you know that angst potential you have left me to work with?#love never won in bsd. it lay dead and festering#i don't know how much longer i can keep saying i miss them. i'm going to kill myself if he doesn't come back#i've never wanted something to be death bait so desperately#bungou stray dogs#bungo stray dogs#bsd#dazai osamu#osamu dazai#kunikidazai#knkdz#kunizai#(??? technically. its implied anyway)#lotus draws

pvp civ nation...... this aint much but pls take my contribution for this series bc im going insane i love hate this man so much get him out of my head
#senart#pvp civilization#pvp civ#I'LL MAKE A PROPER ONE I SWEARR I JUST NEED TO GET THIS OUT OF MYSYSTEM FIRST#if it turns out he gets a bad ending in ep 6 i dont think i'll be ok like#he deserves a good ending . or a villain arc at least. he deserves to go batshit crazy after how everyone treated him#ALSOO the chekovs gun video journal device thing?? The excessive 4th wall breaking?#Is it just me or does jt feel like evbo is gonna lose his memory/already lost his memory and was sent to the wood sword lvl with tabi#or like . Idk?? It feels kind of truman show ish. Well maybe not that but its just the vibe im getting w the way that everyone has their-#-own secrets. How the diamond swords seems to know who evbo n tabi is. How princezam knows about the diamond swords#and then theres also parrot whos just?? Weird overall?? Idk whats going on w him but i need to know his backstory wdym u think evbo will-#-hate you if he knows what you did??#ANYWAY BACK TO THE VIDEO JOURNAL AND POTENTIAL MEMORY LOSS.#I dont want jt to go that way (mostly bc i dont want to see evbo suffer more than he already did) but it rlly does seem like its heading to#that direction w the way that it also has become a way to narrate what he went through (ie when the ep shows his attempts to beat the-#gold sword lvl but hes narrating it from the future. from his video journal. where he already beat the lvl)#im going insane#Wait also what i meant by the truman show vibe in relation to the excessive 4th wall breaks it makes it sound like pvp civ is just a -#simulation#wait i just remembered its the matrix not that mb umm#anyways.#empty chattering
