#the stupid fucking villain plot

[himejoshiangels]

if I had the power to retcon anything I'd retcon what they did to the we are robin kids. esp what they did to riko, let riko sheridan go back to being the mean geeky fail girl she was always meant to be

There's a meme going around to draw your comfort characters as the Steven meme.

Bowser's never been a comfort character for me, but thinking about how great an Illumination Smash Bros movie would be with these two having the dumbest greatest villain team dynamic has brought me SO much joy this year.

The Doctor / Me watching Doctor Who, like, once a season:

can't believe I keep falling for this. Even more so can't believe the doctor keeps falling for this.

K so, Semblances are connected to Aura which is a manifestation of the soul yeah?

In Before the Dawn, the father of the villains confirms that one of twin's semblance was active in the womb throughout a good portion of the pregnancy

Meaning, in Remnant, fetuses have souls. Wonder how legal abortions are

Edit: just remembered Pyrrha had to unlock Jaune's Aura in V1, so does that mean someone cracked open a fetus's Aura inside the womb? Was Gillian strong enough as a cluster of cells to unlock it herself?? Wtf is this origin story???

Yesterday I saw Beetlejuice 2, and it was very meh, especially the ending. I have not been in a movie theater in ages, and I come back to this?? *sigh*

But I guess I should be thankful it could have been worse. I wouldn't mind watching a Beetlejuice 3 tho, or a TV show. There were so many new characters there could be plot for another 2 movies I swear. Spoilers in the tags.

btw this is what i mean by the weirdddd kinda sus dru scene. the brooding. plus a funny subtitle typo

the tragedy of SAO (aincrad) is that it's actually rather good, but is unfortunately attached to SAO (everything else)

everyone rags on kirito for being awesome mccoolguy, the greatest video gamer ever but that only happens AFTER sao. in sao he's 1 - fourteen, and trying very hard to be cool 2 - social anxiety out the wazoo 3 - very very bad at making friends (outside of his small friend group, most people on the front line are like "ugh, that guy") 4 - actively and constantly being traumatized by having to fight for his life and by watching people die in front of him. (This isn't just about Sachi, though she's the final straw that breaks him.) The very first quest he runs he meets another beta player, teams up with him, and then the guy tries to murder him for getting the rare drop first but fucks up and dies doing it.

why does kirito act the way he does? gee!! i fucking wonder!!

hes not awesome mccoolguy he is a feral cat who asuna has been going pss pss pss pss pss at for months

The older I get, the worse Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland ages for me...

[gilbirda]

watching house md in one go really makes you see when the writing went nosediving huh

[scalproie]

and the worst thing is that vergil DOES sucks. genuinely

[robotsafari]

the way terra gets sent onto the fucking galactic federation ship makes NO SENSE like suddenly he just starts getting magnetized into the underbelly of the ship (is it gravity???) and then suddenly he ends up in jail WHAT.

ah yes "swept onboard" more like hurls into the underbelly of the ship and it fades out like. what.

also i love how they dont show terra breaking out of the cell. he just pulls out his keyblade and then the next shot hes out like can you just show it like a normal person.

[mrstsung]

I hate to admit it. But this is such a shang tsung song (tho i feel i have to state that him being an alchemist,engineer,tinkerer,etc is ONLY ONE ASPECT OF HIM. he is a healer,sorcerer,martial arts master,and badass mofo above that.....tho he is essentially a big ol cutie dorky nerd deep down)

Also.....i love this song period.

Also....i may or may not sing this at karaoke night at momocon as shang tsung next month. Lmao. Wish me luck not to chicken out or too partied out to do so.

[hella1975]

I'm watching the hunger games with people who's opinions I don't agree with HELP they literally don't get the implications of children murdering eachother like I do

(hella I've been reminded of you all day lol this is my 2nd ask about my day kfmsks)

that's genuinely so sweet i dont think you realise how much i appreciate things like this

oh bleugh i hate it when people just dont get a piece of media and ur just kinda sat there trying not to rant like 'you're all missing the fucking POINT'

[lacependragon]

Oh Yang and Blake kiss in the second Justice League movie?

Okay I now know every single reason people like it better than the first one. Thank you.

[restnowyourhardshipisover]

Something is going to make me snap and do the absurd amount of work to create an honest archive of what actually fucking happened in the first season of DSMP. I am so close to the edge.

Barber is actually a genius

You see, when Barber wrote the reveal into IDW1 that Onyx Prime was actually Shockwave sent back in time orchestrating all of Cybertronian history, it was really a brilliant moment of in-universe plot events and metatextuality intersecting.

You see, in-universe, Shockwave’s goal for becoming Onyx Prime was to make all things ‘meaningless’ and to ‘destroy hope’ and to ‘serve as an agent of chaos’ by making all of Cybertronian history purely arising by his design.

And in the META sense, this is perfectly mirrored by the fact that the “Onyx Prime = Shockwave” reveal made Shockwave’s death in Dark Cybertron and even the entire story of IDW1 meaningless, destroyed my hope that exRID/OP would ever have emotionally satisfying writing, AND was a completely chaotic choice that came out of nowhere and completely blindsided me thinking that Shockwave logically died after being shot by Megatron and Optimus at once and then sucked into a black hole.

Truly John Barber is the absolute pinnacle of Transformers writing. Such a brilliant mixing of in-universe plot with meta themes that the readers feel directly is such AMAZING writing. A plot twist that you could NEVER see coming and that makes the story SO MEANINGFUL. A plot twist that gives characters AGENCY and that DEFINITELY makes a ton of sense. Such quality writing must be exactly why SO MANY PEOPLE talk about exRID/OP and how BRILLIANT the storytelling is ^w^
