Back to reiterate my opinion that Will Trent is a good show but a bad adaptation.

Like, obviously The Sea of Monsters is going to be great on screen. Obviously. Grover in a wedding dress, Percy as a guinea pig, Clarisse character growth, the chariot races, Annabeth facing the sirens, we've got a full-on Odyssey and it's fantastic. I don't want to wish away all the good things coming! Season 2 is going to be so much fun.

But. BUT. Season 3, man. The Titan's Curse. Thalia. Zoe Nightshade. THE DI ANGELOS. Holy shit, season 3 is going to be excellent.

For Izzy to die for Ed and/or Stede in the finale, it would spit in the face of the entire character arc he's had this season of discovering himself outside of that relationship

And I fully believe they're better writers than that, especially after being told how much these queer stories mean to the fans. They wouldn't let him grow so much only to pull a "burry the gay for his tragic unrequited love."

It's going to be okay

Aang being a shitty dad is fine, but it's the way tlok makes Aang a shitty I have a problem with. You're telling me a guy who's entire culture was whipped out and whole family was massacred wasn't overjoyed at the possibility of sharing his culture with his entire family?

Would Aang have given more attention to Tenzin? Probably, them being the only airbenders would have almost certainly fostered a complex dynamic between the two— even to the extent that it would damage the father/son relationship. I think it's also worth pointing out that Aang was raised in a culture without the nuclear family dynamic we see him participarting in with Katara and their kids, and it's not out of the realm of possibility that Aang would fall short of the expectations and responibilities being a typical father figure brings especially when he himself never experienced that dynamic. Especially, especially compounded with the task of rebuilding a struggling world and maintaining peace.

However, do I think he would neglect to show his kids his culture? Their culture? No. Certainly not the extent he did, and especially not when we see how excited he is to share it with his friends in the show. Why wouldn't he be excited to share it with his kids? With all his kids? How the writers of The Legend of Korra make him a bad dad is a complex series of failures not the least of which stem from racism, the unwillingness to even attempt an understanding of multicultural families, TLOK originally being a 12 episode miniseries that then got greenlit for another season and was suddenly taxed with building upon a world that was never intended to exist beyond its original scope, and a fundamental misunderstanding of Aang as a character.

tldr:

On one hand, I feel horribly guilty for having a couple weekends where I've committed to absolutely nothing to the point of backing out of volunteering at a local dog show.

On the other hand, I have dog sport events literally every weekend and practice or class at least twice a week throughout the entirety of October and November. I think I get a free pass for a couple weekends.

i haven't watched build and i probably won't for a while but i feel a kinship with the secondary because he dresses exactly how i did in high school

[thescribblings]

Had a vision this morning, tried a new perspective :]

Suggestive drawing of Ori under the cut

Those tela-novelas sure are interesting to watch when you have company, eh?

That is all

Have nice day :]

UH OH

sorry i'm thinking about arcane s2 again and. like the way i feel about arcane s2??? is kinda strange because at the end of the day, when i think back to my actual experience of watching the thing, episode by episode. i still enjoyed it!! like it was a fun time to watch!! i would still generally recommend it in a way as a watching experience and would probably have fun rewatching it myself. because a cartoon isn't JUST its overall writing, it's also its scene-by-scene writing and its moment-to-moment character moments and its art direction and its animation and its music and its voice acting. and for the most part those things were still, like, generally enjoyable for me. but it's when you actually stop for a second to think about the Big Picture plot, writing and messaging of s2 that it collapses under itself

on a purely scene-by-scene basis, i'd even argue that the writing was often good?? even great at points???? (barring a few particular scenes but i don't have time to complain about jinx's "heroic sacrifice" rn) there were So Many Good Scenes with interesting and compelling character moments that imo were truly great to experience. the main issue being that when you step back from them to consider the broader context of the season, most of them feel like excerpts from a more complete and coherent cartoon and that someone edited out or montage-ified a lot of the connective tissue. the scene where jinx releases all those zaunite political prisoners from jail and sees firsthand the ways that she CAN help others and inspire hope still gives me chills to think about, it's a great scene, but when you step back a bit it so strongly feels like it was orphaned from a broader storyline about jinx becoming a true, active leader of the zaunite revolution that in reality doesn't exist. i know "this shit should have had at least one more season for all these plotlines to work" is a normie take by now but This Shit Should Have Had At Least One More Season For All These Plotlines To Work because it feels like so many scenes, moments, and interactions are just missing, and the result was a rushed story, lack of breathing room for quiet, reflective moments for characters to digest the material and emotional consequences of these events, and entire plotlines being truncated, abandoned, or crudely mashed together into a narratively and/or thematically and/or politically baffling mess

from where i'm standing the difference between arcane s1 and s2 is the difference between a complete, solidly built, fully functional house vs. a bunch of very nice, high-quality lumber propped up against each other in the rough shape of a house. like. the MATERIALS sure are good. i can admire the quality of the wood. but one swift kick and It's Gone

Good news I guess: they cancelled the live action Loud House show.

by far the most interesting part of LMK s4 (to me) is, well, them finally addressing the aggressively positive attitude MK has had about sun wukong the entire show. the entire series has emphasized this heroic narrative and almost entirely sidelined the circumstances that got him on the jttw,,, all his (delightful) shittiness has been intentionally obscured, and s4 completely reframes it as MK himself being uncomfortable with the fact that the Monkey King has this dual legacy of being a great hero celebrated for his role in the story and, you know, everything else about him as the trickster monkey archetype.

he reads perfectly as the kind of kid who idolized someone from a young age and has had to fend off accusations of them being ‘bad, actually’ in the past and now finds himself walking in those exact footsteps with suspicious ease, and now it’s been implied to his face that it’s because he’s going in reverse. whuf
