#top 10 anime villains

[yasuosexual]

another self-indulgent post (maybe??) cus i’m rewatching haikyuu with the bestie c:

tooru oikawa as a boyfriend

oikawa knows that the ladies being all over him bothers you. the way it makes the hairs on your neck stand up, the way you possessively grab onto his arm, how you start to feel shy in their presence…

doesn’t matter to him though. “ladies, ladies,” he calls, placing his hand on top of yours that is tightened around his bicep, “you know i have such a lovely girlfriend, please,” with his free arm he waves them off. this oikawa is nothing like the oikawa you once knew.

oikawa couldn’t take his eyes off of you from the second he first saw you. he loved how you walked with such elegance, your hair flowing gracefully through the breeze of the other student passerby’s. he admired you in class, always turning your homework in on time and being there for those who needed help.

but most of all, he loved your smile. it was infectious, and he couldn’t deny it. oikawa had the power to have any girl he wanted, and he chose you.

oikawa was absolutely enamored by the way you caused him to smile. it didn’t matter if it was because you meant it or not— any little thing you did made a grin creep it’s way onto his lips. when he confessed his love to you, he was shocked when you rejected him. he was tooru oikawa?! how could any girl say no to him.

and so he tried and tried again. oikawa worked his magic until you found yourself at his mercy, head over heels in love. staring into his longing brown gaze, feeling the way his hand snaked around the small of your back, pulling you into a passionate kiss. you couldn’t say no, and you wouldn’t.

“looks like you finally fell for me,” he smiled, pushing a strand of hair behind your ear, “i knew this would happen. i love you,”

i'm OBSESSED with minister of ministers ren... he is someone who wants SO BADLY to be the manipulative leader in control of everything, never lifting a finger and making others work for him, but it doesn't work because nobody takes him seriously. except, at the same time, it kinda does work because people do what he says, but because they're his friends and find it funnier to do what he wants and be annoying about it, than not do it at all. I like to think he doesn't realise this, thinking his manipulation tactics have worked, not realising that people are mining resources and improving infrastructure for him out of Friendship and Pity. he'd be annoyed they don't take him seriously, but internally think "hm! these PLEBEIANS don't realise they are falling right into my trap!" completely unaware of the trap he's about to fall into due to his own mistakes (exploded by creeper whilst sorting chests + cleo's prank). he never learns though, he just keeps going, the lesson never sinks in for him.

it's an interesting comparison to ren the king - someone who was originally (somewhat) respected but his ego got the best of him and the more he tried to gain power back, the deeper the hole he dug himself into. they both want power but lack it, but in such different ways. king in a country tired of monarchy vs project manager as an anime villain (and both of them are pathetic)

Top 10 Worst Cartoon Villains

#10. The Beast (Over The Garden Wall): A series full of so much potential, Over The Garden Wall's biggest disappointment besides the world building and characters is its villain. The Beast is built up as this dark, evil spirit, when in reality he's just all bark and no bite. Whenever he's on screen, he comes off like a lesser version of the Lich from Adventure Time with lackluster abilities, a weak motivation and is defeated rather anticlimactically.

#9. Harold Smith (The Powerpuff Girls): The Powerpuff Girls has a bunch of memorable and iconic villains in their rogues gallery. Harold Smith, as well as his wife and kids, is NOT one of them. In addition to a petty motivation, he isn't at all threatening, his costume looks like it was thrown together at the last minute, and he doesn't even succeed in his plan. The only reason why the girls didn't just beat the tar out of him is because his wife wanted a perfect dinner. And no, the sequel episode that involves his family isn't much better.

#8. Hervnick Z. Snerz (Green Eggs and Ham): While Green Eggs and Ham makes for a good show for the most part, the one major critique I have is that the main villain is nothing but a pompous brat. Snerz is egotistical, whiney, lazy, and selfish, but above all that, he's just not funny or interesting. Not onces throughout the entire show does he become a villain we love to hate, but rather an annoying detour from the main plot. His backstory does nothing to make him sympathetic or interesting as it just further proves how selfish and nasty he is.

#7. Griselle Grande (Polly Pocket): This creepy old broad wants the power of Polly's locket, but what she really needs is to get a life. She's an incompetent, egotistical, and creepy woman who can't come up with the most basic of plans to get a stinking locket. Not once does Griselle's efforts get a laugh and the fact that her granddaughter, Gwen, even helps her despite being dumber than a sack of peanuts is actually pathetic.

#6. Lee, Marie, and May Kanker (Ed, Edd, n Eddy): It's no secret that the Kankers bring Ed, Edd, n Eddy down with their mere existence. In addition to ruining the Eds' scams, they also frequently make out with the Eds without consent. They're also the apotheosis to the rest of cast as they're not funny, they're not quotable, and they're not interesting. No wonder they don't have any fans.

#5. Dragon (Skunk Fu): As a big fan of dragons, I would be all giddy to watch a show where the dragon is the main villain. Unfortunately, Skunk Fu is too terribly written to make Dragon an interesting villain. In addition to having such a rushed and pathetic backstory, Dragon does nothing but sit in his cave doing nothing but bark orders at his lackies. Nothing about him screams intimidating or powerful, just pathetic.

#4. Dr. Otomo Kamikazi II (Robotboy): Some evil genius he is. Dr. Kamikazi constantly fails to capture Robotboy and what's worse is he never once thinks to make his own robot if he's so smart. He also has a weak motivation, a very exaggerated accent, and no real menace to him. He's just an embarrassing loser that's too stubborn to admit that he's not as smart as he thinks he is.

#3. Hawk Moth (Miraculous Ladybug): If this guy wants the powers of Ladybug and Cat Noir so much, why doesn't he get them himself? I'll tell you why: because he's a weak, lazy, incompetent villain! He'd rather send his Akuma butterflies to corrupt petty losers to do his dirty work and they always fail. He's just a pathetic bore of a villain that never once gets his hands dirty.

#2. Teamo Supremo's Rogues Gallery (Teamo Supremo): It's impossible to choose just one lousy villain from this stupid show, as they all have the same problem. They petty villains with lame gimmicks, 3 useless lackies, and they're not the least bit threatening. One of them is just a guy who makes fun of people and another is your typical Karen. Teamo Supremo has the worst line of villains in cartoons and it would've been Number 1 on my list, if it wasn't for...

#1. Lloyd Garmadon (Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu): ...THIS obnoxious little punk! Lloyd is the embodiment of all the previous entries. He's petty, he's stupid, he's lazy, he's egotistical, and he's such an embarrassment! All he does is bark orders to the snake peopke to commit childish crimes and as such he wastes the time of the heroes and the audience! He's such a bad villain that I could care less about his redemption and how he becomes a mainstay. All I want is for this kid to be shipped to Timbuktu and NEVER comeback!

Conclusion: These villains are so bad in their portrays, they make sitting through the show frustrating everytime they're on screen. Dishonerable mentions go to PAL from The Mitchells vs The Machines (just another vengeful A.I. in a sea full of them), Maximums I.Q. from Atomic Betty (a very generic villain in a very badly made cartoon), and Dio from JoJo's Bizarre Adventures (he's not even fun to talk about, that's how bad of a villain he is). Do you agree with my picks? What are some of your least favorite villains? Let me know down in the comments and I'll see you next time ;)

My second pipeline of future ideas: Part 2

Previously, in part one, I created a survey to determine which project you all wanted to see first for me, and the long awaited Lord Shen's analysis won.

However, as you can clearly see by the results, two ideas ended up tying for second place, aka my critique of Doll and the tier list. Therefore, I'm now running a second survey to determine which content to produce next after Shen; both projects already have a little bit of work produced for them and should be meaty at their completion.

Here's a quick reminder of the content for each idea:

How and Why Liam Vickers wrote Doll as a rather unsympathetic character: I feel like, when you really love something, you must be able to criticise it. And this is exactly the goal of this analysis, as I break down all of the problems with Doll's writing right from the conceptual issues down to her future and legacy.

Female villains top ten: My ranking of the ten personal favourite female villains of all time.

.......................

Rebecca is slowly destroying my mental health why is she so weird 😭.

I'm losing my brain cells over her analysis. It feels like I'm banging my head against a wall, but she is so worth it, TRUST ME.

Bruh.

Top 10 Appearances of Cruella De Vil

Last year, to the date, was the 100th Anniversary of the Walt Disney Company. That makes today their 101st Anniversary. I’d say that means there’s no better time - given this is also the spooky season - to talk about one of their greatest villains: Cruella De Vil, the nasty “devil woman” from “101 Dalmatians.” Cruella is one of the most interesting villains in the Disney canon, because of how…well…ordinary she is. In the original film, at least, she’s not someone who has massive amounts of magical, political, or warrior-savvy power; she’s a very normal, mortal woman. What makes Cruella such a great villain is her wild personality: she is utterly despicable, downright repulsive, in her goals and desires, but she’s so entertainingly bizarre in her mannerisms and appearance, it’s hard not to be entertained by her. She’s both glamorous and wretched at the same time, and you find yourself laughing both with her AND at her throughout her time onscreen; she’s thoroughly insane, thoroughly over-the-top, and it’s hard not to say she’s memorable. Top it off with a catchy song all about her vile ways, and it’s not surprising she’s stuck in the popular consciousness as long as she has. Over time, Cruella’s star has only grown, for a lot of reasons. She’s widely regarded as one of Disney’s finest baddies, and hardly any gathering of Disney Villains feels complete without at least REFERENCING Cruella in some way. So - much as I’ve done in the past with three other great Disney Villains (the Evil Queen, Maleficent, and Scar) - I felt today we should pay homage to everyone’s (least) favorite fur fanatic, and talk about some of her greatest appearances BEYOND her initial movie. Park attractions, spin-off films and TV appearances, books, video games…if Cruella has appeared, it can count. So, let’s not waste anytime, daaahlings! Here are My Top 10 Favorite Cruella De Vil Appearances!

10. Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom.

You’ll be seeing this entry pop up a lot of times, whenever I talk about the appearances of great Disney Villains. (Not always, but a lot.) I mentioned it before on my list for Maleficent, but for those who don’t remember or just haven’t heard of it: “Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom” is an interactive attraction at Walt Disney World, wherein guests are sent on missions by Merlin around the Magic Kingdom. Hades, it seems, has come up with a new scheme to try and - of course - take over the world, and he’s summoning various other great villains to help him with his scheme. The players must battle these villains and retrieve pieces of a magic crystal to stop Hades and his evil allies. Among the villains featured in the experience is Cruella, who makes a deal with Hades to help him find part of the crystal; in return, he will make sure she gets all of the dalmatians. The pair arrange to work under cover of the fireworks spectacular that evening, so must race against time to help the Dalmatians and Merlin before Cruella and Hades can enact their devilish plot. This results in a boss battle against Cruella, where she uses the most logical method of defense against the players: GIANT FREAKING CARTOON BOMBS. Yeesh, I know Cruella can have an explosive temper, but this is ridiculous!

9. April Winchell, from 101 Dalmatians: The Animated Series.

Also kudos to Tress MacNeille, who took the reins for Cruella in two episodes when Winchell was presumably unavailable. Influenced by the success of the live-action films with Glenn Close, but set in their own universe unique from both the animated feature and the aforementioned live-action ones, this cartoon show softened up Cruella in a lot of ways. While her personality remained as flamboyant and deranged as ever, her obsession with furs and desire to kill the titular dalmatians was removed. Presumably, this was because it was considered too “politically incorrect” for a children’s show, aired in the mornings, on the Disney Channel, at the time. The series also changed the location from England to America. In the series, Cruella - much like in the Glenn Close movies - is depicted as the head of a fashion design company, “House of DeVil,” and her goal was to try and find a way to get the land where the Dearly family now live with their one-hundred-plus dogs, presumably for business purposes. This Cruella was a more comical villainess than ever before; a sort of female Dick Dastardly whose schemes were constantly loused up by a combo of her minions’ bungling, and various slapstick shenanigans. She was also given a somewhat sympathetic side, the first time I think anyone attempted this with Cruella; there’s even an episode that parodies “A Christmas Carol,” revealing a tragic past behind Miss DeVil’s diabolical nature. While this version of Cruella was and is a lot of fun, I personally prefer other versions - both from before and after it - a bit more, so it gets a lower ranking.

8. House of Mouse.

For those who don’t already know, “House of Mouse” was a series that Disney used as a vehicle for various short cartoons, most notably the Mickey Mouse Works series it had going on at at the time. It was a bit like Disney’s version of “Shining Time Station,” with the actual story of each episode, and the premise of the show itself, acting as a framing device to allow the cartoons to be shown. The series took place in a Toontown nightclub, the titular House of Mouse, run by Mickey and the gang. Here, every night, various animated characters from all across the Disney pantheon would come to hang out, have dinner, and watch some shorts. Cruella was one of the most frequent guest villains to pop up in the show. Her appearances were usually accompanied by humorous gags about her obsession with furs, such as her considering turning the Beast into a coat, or jokingly threatening Pluto. One of my favorite jokes was in the episode “House of Crime,” where a mysterious villain (later revealed to be the Phantom Blot) is stealing and kidnapping anyone and anything they could get their gloves on. At one point, Pongo and Perdita accuse Cruella of stealing their puppies (again), to which Cruella huffs: “One movie, and you’re labeled for life!” Probably her most noteworthy appearance was in the Halloween special, “Mickey’s House of Villains,” where Cruella was featured as one of the leading antagonists, helping Jafar and some of the other villains take over the House of Mouse. Overall, while Cruella rarely had a ton to do, her moments were always highlights for me, and while she may not have had as big a role in this show as she did in our previous entry, it’s more than earned strong points here in my book.

7. Divus Crewel, from Twisted Wonderland.

Well, I can’t make a list related to Disney Villains without bringing up this game, can I? In fact, I bet a lot of you who know about this little number probably expected Divus Crewel to rank higher. For those who came in late, “Twisted Wonderland” is a mobile game, originally made in Japan, wherein the main POV character gets “zapped” into an alternate universe. They find themselves at Night Raven College: a School of Dark Magic, inspired by seven of Disney’s greatest villains. The place is populated by characters all inspired by (and sometimes descended from) these villains, and even other antagonists. Cruella is NOT one of the Great Seven in the game, but nevertheless, a Cruella-inspired character does appear in the form of this rather handsome fellow. Divus Crewel is the resident science expert at Night Raven College, and is the youngest and newest professor on the campus, in charge of teaching potions class. The best way to describe Crewel is a combination of a military drill sergeant and…well…Cruella DeVil! He is a strict, commanding, almost soldier-like character, but he also has a passion for fashion, loves to drive fast sports cars, and has a flair for the theatrical. A scientist with the soul of a supermodel, and the bearing of R. Lee Ermey…I don’t know HOW they got this combination out of Cruella DeVil, but the end result is probably my favorite member of the NRC staff in the game. The main reason (though not the only reason) why “daaahling” Divus doesn’t rank higher is because, like most of the staff members, he’s not really THAT major a character. Professor Crewel has very little influence on the Main Story of the game. He has, however, appeared more prominently in Events (in fact, he’s even got a boss fight in one of them), and also has a couple of noteworthy moments in Vignettes for the other characters. I would argue he’s probably the most focused-on teacher at the school…and considering how popular his inspiration is, I guess that’s not a big surprise.

6. Michelle Gomez, from 101 Dalmatian Street.

Unlike the much earlier 1990s Animated Series, this show didn’t hold back with the darker elements of Cruella’s character. In fact, if anything, this series REALLY pushed making Cruella as unsettling and scary as possible. The series takes place in the same continuity as the original animated film, but much later down the line. Cruella is a latecomer into the show: for much of it, the main antagonist was actually her nephew, Hunter, who is working for evil aunt. However, Cruella eventually enters the plot properly, deciding to take the matter of revenge against the dalmatians and their owners into her own hands. Miss DeVil is much older now - even more skeletal and emaciated than ever - but she’s just as deranged and, generally speaking, just as spry as she ever was. She’s also just as determined to get those darn dogs! Her cruel and twisted nature makes for an interesting parallel to Hunter, who eventually redeems himself and becomes a friend to the Dalmatians. While she’s framed and depicted as particularly horrifying in this show, Cruella still has a lot of humor to her, as you would expect. Top it off with the voice of Missy from Doctor Who herself, Michelle Gomez, and it’s pretty clear why this is a triumph among Cruella’s post-1961 pop-ups.

5. Emma Stone, from Cruella.

When this movie was released, it was advertised as basically being “Disney’s Joker.” This is a lie: if anything, I would argue this is “Disney’s Moriarty the Patriot.” (And if you don’t know what THAT is, look it up; I don’t have time to be your SparkNotes here.) Many have compared this to the earlier “Maleficent” movies, starring Angelina Jolie, both of which took classic Disney Villainesses and reimagined them as more sympathetic and protagonistic figures. Between the two, I would say “Cruella” is more successful in that regard. It’s clearly not setting itself as a “true story” in the way it presents things, instead becoming its own unique thing, and therefore it’s a bit easier for me to swallow the less villainous take on the character here, in terms of story. It’s also just a very stylish sort of film (fitting for the character), and I think stands on its own two feet much better than the Maleficent movies do. In this universe, Cruella is reinvented as an anti-hero; an aspiring fashion designer who seeks vengeance against an evil Baroness, who becomes a rival of hers in the fashion world. The Baroness, Cruella believes, murdered her mother. Through various means, the black-and-white-haired mad genius tries to undermine and ruin her enemy, riding a fine line between a criminal mastermind and a heroine. Emma Stone plays the character brilliantly, and there’s a lot of good stuff in this reinterpretation. It’s not a perfect movie, but it’s not a bad one, either. However, I think I prefer Cruella when she’s…well…Cruella, for lack of a better way of putting it. Still, I’d say the film is worthy of a space in Top 5, after some consideration.

4. 101 Dalmatians II: Patch’s London Adventure.

In my opinion, “Patch’s London Adventure” is one of the few really good Disney animated sequels. While I still prefer the first film more, I’d say this a decent follow-up: it updates the humor in some fun ways, has great voice acting, captures the artistic style of the original film in an interesting way, and takes a fresh look at things while sticking true to the continuity of the original picture. One of the most fun parts of the story, of course, is Cruella’s role. In here, Cruella is the main villain, but actually only the secondary antagonist: for much of the movie, her role in things is peripheral, but after a certain point, she re-enters the main plot, and does so with a vengeance. It’s revealed that Cruella has gotten out on parole, but for various reasons, her already unstable sanity has begun to slip further than ever. She’s denied buying new furs, her car is completely totaled, her henchmen are imprisoned, and it’s hard to tell how much of her fortune she even still has access to. In short, she’s at the lowest point of her entire life. Things change, however, when an artist named Lars (played by Martin Short) falls in love with her. This is a result of Cruella taking interest in Lars’ work, which involves - what else? - black and white spots. However, their relationship begins to tank when Cruella starts to lose interest, and to try and rekindle things - and find what it is that’s missing - Cruella once again decides to kidnap the Dalmatians, with Jasper and Horace’s help. The reveal of her evil scheme in this film is arguably even more insane and horrifyingly twisted than her plan in the first film (I won’t say what it is here), and it’s clear by the end of the picture that Cruella has completely gone off the deep end. Thankfully, I think that’s where all of us like her to be.

3. Glenn Close, from the Live-Action Dalmatians Films.

Well, I can’t do a list about Cruella DeVil and NOT rank this one highly, can I? While Cruella was always a popular rogue in the Disney canon, I think most people would agree her popularity SKYROCKETED after Glenn Close took the reins in the live-action remake of “101 Dalmatians.” This was the movie that first reimagined Cruella as the head of a fashion design firm, with Anita as her ex-employee rather than an old school chum, and it really amped the lunacy of the character. Close doesn’t just chew the scenery in the first movie, she gorges on it in huge chunks, hamming up Cruella to an utterly ludicrous degree, but also still giving her the necessary menace required. Some have argued she’s a bit TOO over-the-top, but I kind of love how far they pushed Cruella’s melodrama here, as well as her madness. The second film goes even further: in “102 Dalmatians,” Cruella is sent to an insane asylum, where experimental procedures seem to cure her, transforming her from a psychotic animal killer to a kind and charitable soul. However, a freak incident reverses the process, and Cruella returns to her old ways, plotting revenge against those she deems responsible for her earlier incarceration, as well as seeking to recreate her plans for a Dalmatian fur coat. While the second film is not very good, overall, I felt that Cruella was just as much fun there as she was in the first movie, and Close is still highly lauded and recognized for the role to this day. It’s honestly hard to tell how many people like her more or less compared to the original animated version, at this point, which is high praise when it comes to Disney’s live-action remake output. Close has always spoken highly of the part, and so respected the character that she actually helped to produce Stone’s “Cruella” movie years later. That shows you, doesn’t it?

2. Evil Thing.

“Evil Thing” is part of a series of books, written by Serena Valentino, which go into the origins of many famous Disney characters (most of them villains), and show their sides of the stories they were in. Out of all of them, I think “Evil Thing” might be my favorite so far. It seems to be one of the most praised and popular, even receiving a graphic novel adaptation! The book tells us the story of how Cruella came to be the villainess we see in the original animated movie, and her story is…interesting. While Cruella is not depicted as a “bad seed” who seemed to just be evil from the start, she’s certainly not an angel; even from the very beginning of her life, Cruella is depicted as having a dark side, mostly due to her aristocratic upbringing. She seems to see other people as not only less than human, but less than REAL; she’s brought up to believe that her wealth and her status make her more valuable than any other human being without those things, and animals? Pffft. Forget it. They exist only to be food, furs, and so on. However, despite these darker aspects, Cruella doesn’t just start off as a wicked person; it’s a descent into madness and darkness that takes a while to fully germinate. The book is also told from Cruella’s POV, unlike other novels in the series, which are written in third person, creating a particularly unique perspective. It’s not only a great take on Cruella, but a good book in general, bringing us into the mind of a madwoman in a way that is frightening, fascinating, and at times wickedly funny…just the way Cruella DeVil should always be.

1. Victoria Smurfit, from Once Upon a Time.

While others may first think of Glenn Close or Emma Stone, when I ponder live-action Cruellas, this is the one I imagine and love first and most of all. In my opinion, Cruella is one of the best villains to appear in “Once Upon a Time,” and this reimagining of the character honestly rivals the original animated film for my favorite interpretation. Played by Victoria Smurfit (who, beyond this, I mostly know for playing the main villain of NBC’s “Dracula” TV show, of all things), Cruella is here has the power to control animals, emitting a green smoke that puts them under her thrall, in reference to her bad habits from the original. This power was given to her by The Author - a man with the power to control and change people’s stories - who fell in love with Cruella while traveling through the universe. In her origin story episode, we’re actually led to believe that Cruella was once a good person who somehow went bad; a sort of contemporary Cinderella or Rapunzel, kept under the firm heel of her domineering mother, who supposedly murdered her father. All of this, it turns out, is a sham: Cruella is depicted here as a truly rotten-to-the-core person. A psychopath from birth, who loves nothing more than killing. Her great goal in the series is to get back the thing she loves most, which is the ability TO kill people. That is so messed up, and I LOVE it: most of the other major antagonists in the series are depicted as sympathetic characters with tragic backstories. Several of them even eventually redeem themselves and reform. Cruella, however…she’s just bad news from day one, and LOVES her own wickedness. This version made Cruella equal parts scary and kind of hilarious, as she’s one of the most consistently funny characters in the show…yet the fact she is literally a blood-hungry psycho means there’s always a sense of danger when she’s around, and the moments where her inner steel shows can be quite startling. I don’t know how many other people would place this take on the character so high in the ranks, or what other people - fans and laypeople alike - think of this interpretation…but for me, there’s no doubt Victoria Smurfit in “Once Upon a Time” takes the cake as My Favorite Appearance of Cruella De Vil. “Cheerio, Daaahlings!”

Honorable Mentions Include…

Kingdom Keepers. (Cruella is one of the main villains in these books, first appearing in “Power Play.” She is the lieutenant of the Evil Queen, and - like in “Once Upon a Time” - has the power to control animals.)

Villains Tonight! (Cruella shows up to put on a fashion show during this now-defunct Disney Cruise Lines stage show.)

Escape from DeVil Manor. (A PC game based on the live-action films, but with the characters designed to resemble the original animated versions. I used to play this a lot as a kid. Cruella is mostly a peripheral figure in the story, but it makes the moments she shows up more special, and her specter - as it were - looms large throughout.)

“Disney Villains: Cruella De Vil” Comic Series. (One of the Dynamite/Disney crossover “Disney Villains” comics. Not as good as the others of these comics I’ve read, but still interesting.)

[deus-ex-mona]

y’know what? for all the nonsense i give this manga (for being an adaptation of the [redacted] anime), mad props to the artist for giving us nagisa’s reaction to the butchered fansa scandal. i’ve always found it hella weird that the [redacted] anime wrote nagisa out after his episodes, so getting to see his reaction to the scandal was pretty lit ngl~~

[catlover-coffeedrinker]

Just saw Good Omens season 2: my reactions as follows:

- cackling

-laughing

-crying with emotion

-screaming at the screen

-inhuman squealing (we can all guess when that was, we’ve been waiting for a kiss for years!)

And finally: enraged screams once the ending hit me in the face. Honestly, why. Season two was supposed to be the fun one!! Not the one that emotionally destroys me!!!

[otaku-tactician]

despite knowing my home is a shit place and that my family got so many problems ive been blaming myself and trying so hard to live any semblance of a normal life here by bein friendly on a general level and sticking to the rules but sometimes incidents happen that remind me its not the place for me to live, lest they take another 10 years of my life away in this place and continue to lie to me about how theyve done nothing bad and how its all in my head, lying over and over that what happened is all normal and that im the problem merely for disagreement, that im the demon of the house for resisting this kind of lifestyle and that im bad one for not completely giving into the status quo they want me to believe.

yet i defend it when i talk to others, i say ohh its just a difficult household and pussyfoot around the black mirror reality that my home doesnt even want to see, its really poisonous. for even up until i was an adult, i refused to believe any of it was bad but more as what i deserved or that it was all me.

could this be why i like monster. i feel like monsters are just way more honest, direct... more accepting. monsters have hard lives and are villainised beyond belief sometimes tho and other times are actually the real threat, other times the scapegoat....

Again.. when did it all started? Well.. it started.. a 500 loops ago, it was.. at first an act of "accidental" sacrifice. A child, who she didn't know, being used as a hostage by some other stupid villain, she decided it would be "lovely" to give up on her life, which was already ready to end, after all, a child should live a happy and peaceful life, her life was already on her..? Fuck.. she doesn't remember, but still, he should live, live the life she couldn't; then she did it, she jumped, got herself shot and saw the world burn as the great Dark Knight and his lil hero frienda showed up. She smiled, as she looked up at the little kid. Slowly, she saw herself walking towards a door, only to feel some strong hands on her shoulders, pulling her back, she looked back only to see herself again in the mirror, again, as if what she done didn't happen, as if it was just a shitty dream of her dying, she got up, dressed up and went to her.. life? As if she could call *It* that way, haha..

The day seemed the same, just some things different, maybe it was all a dream after all, but still, it felt really..soft to be dead, she wouldn't kill herself, but still... Comfortable, then again, she heard a crash, looking in the way of the loud noise, as if the dream was becoming real, the difference is that this time it was and old man, and a building breaking behind him. She widened her eyes, running to the old man, she helped him to get out of there, only to look behind and see that large building making a shadow, she looked at the old man that screamed to her to get out of there, only to hear the deafening sound of silence and a thin sound, she smiled, before closing her eyes again, and seeing the door, she walked towards It, only to feel that rough hands pulling her back again, she again looked back, only to see the door and the room, before waking up again. She was now unsure if it was *again* just a dream

Again the day seemed the same, again just some silly things were different, she looked at the clock, 10:00.. an loud crash and an teen boy screamed at the top of his lungs, she looked at his way and saw a villain, threatening the boy while hurting his arm with something that seemed like a dagger.. she then grabbed some thing and with all her rage and strengh she tossed it on his head, she only saw the last 10 seconds, the villain letting the teen go, and going towards her, all very slowly, she just looked at the teen, screaming at her to get out, but again, she just smiled and then she just heard again that deafening sound, the door, and she runned towards It again, but then, she fell, feeling someone, of something, drag her again. *Again* she woke up, tired, but still.. what If she didn't got out the house? No.. she wanted to see what would happen now.

And That's how we ended up on this Goddamn loop. Again, but why she can't just die? Why she must come back every time? Who pulls her back? Who are those people who she saves? Does she know them? Would she know them if she lived? Would she? She saved all of them, *all of them* The kid, the dad, the brother, the sister, the friends, the granpa, even animals! all of them, in loops, she even tried to get their names, but it was always too fast, too late, but still, who pulled her back? Why she couldn't pass through the door?

There she was.. their little star, their lil savior.. still, it felt so.. mean of them to let her die, after the 10th time, Alfred had to stop going, or he wouldn't be capable to look at her without feeling guilty when it was their time to rescue her, his lil grand-daughter-in-law, it was how he would call her, again, they looked at her by some window, the window of that room, the one she can't get in, not without their help. Today it was his first and last time getting saved before they got her, after all, they already knew their little star, she saw them 499 times before this one, today it was the day of her lover, the one who picked up the bigger toothpick and got to be her soon-to-be fiancé, She is not his lil star, she is his sun, the one he must pull back to save them, again, to be saved. He got ready, jumping into the reality, seeing all her daily rotine, before seeing 10:00 on the big clock, he then heard a bomb and saw her running towards him, ready to save him, then he perked up, not giving a single care in the world about the bomb, only about his goddess, his sun.

She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw someone new, who was he? Still, she had to save him, when she heard the tick tock, it all clicked on her mind, she ran to him, as if slow motion, trying to get him out of there, only to get picked up by him, finally, something different happened, when she saw she didn't die, she saw the bank exploding and all, but she didn't die, SHE DIDN'T DIE! She started sobbing, as she saw Batman and his family flying through the air to fight the villains, as she cried in the arms of the big, tall stranger, hugging him as he walked, not seeing where he was taking her. She again fell asleep, she saw the door, and didn't try to walk towards It, again crying as she thought she died again, in the arms of her "savior" but then, the door opened, she felt that same strong hands around her, this time caressing her hand and in her waist, as she walked towards the door, she saw all of them, the people who she saved, in some kind of living room, waiting for her, with open arms, as the person behind her leaned in, saying in her ear, before kissing her cheek and snuggling in her neck, as she looked at his dark curls with an white streak.
