#villain i was joking where tf are you going

[depressed-werewolf]

“Are you prepared to die, Hero?” Villain asked, their weapon pressed against the hero’s throat.

“Fuck yeah, I wanted to die anyway.”

The Villain groaned and dropped they weapon. “I’m not doing this.”

A look of confusion creeped onto Hero’s face. “Huh—“

“I can’t deal with you right now,” Villain exclaimed. They were walking away, now. It seemed they’d completely given up on the fight. “Come back when you’ve got a therapist or a will to live.”

[hampterguts]

forever amazed and confused at how often transformers franchise just straight up depicts suicide attempts. like not even considering the superhero trope of "i have to save everyone!!! by choosing to die!!!!!" thing. like. non-allow-yourself-to-die-to-stop-a-thing-from-killing-everyone-immediately type situations. which tbh i wish more ppl talked about but not the point here

like. sure mtmte, a comic abt mentall illness and war, i expected it to be aware of the concept. but its not handled well and mostly used for shock value or "im better now i swear! i have a husband and everything" BUT ITS IN THE KIDS SHOWS TOO??? MY BESTIE G1 RODIMUS?? BEAST WARS DINOBOT???

B-list move villain Shockwave

I have read a lot on the TF Mecha AU from @keferon and other authors and it is very awesome and addicting to read through all the stories and ideas. Shockwave is badass, I admit it, he's also OP and very intimidating. I love that but as good as Shockwave is like that, let me share my idea: a silly comic book mad scientist Shockwave! Kind of like Doc Oc from Spiderman's old comics or Dr. Membrane from Invader Zim.

I imagined him as an amalgamation of human, machine and alien tech that only listens to the government because they are his enablers and he doesn't have to waste time dealing with the law anymore. Imagine he starts as an ordinary-looking guy that was a genius child but his parents completely ignored that along with straight As, he also liked to examine roadkill, cut up small animals and even hook up dead frogs and electrocuting them to see them move. So, he is a mad genius with no morals and qualms about unethical experimentation. He's even grafted himself with alien tech!

Imagine this absolute unit of a man - over 2 meters tall with all the augmentations on his body. Robot legs that go *thud* with each step, robotic arms, one bigger and looking deadly, cables sticking out of ports on his back and connecting to the larger arm. A large, high-tech yellow, glowing safety visor that looks like one huge eye and no one knows whether it is removable or he completely replaced his eyes with. The sides of his head are shaved because there are antennae sticking straight out of his skull. Antennae he uses to send signals directly from his brain and even control a small army of purple robots that do his bidding and are also his eyes around the facility. He is very intimidating, yet his personality is silly!

As cool as evil, cruel Shockwave can be, the goofy villain Shockwave is peak. He could be standing there, in the corner, looking menacingly! I did take inspiration from the comics. I forgot which one exactly, but I read a scene where the Decepticons end up on the bottom of the sea after they crash on Earth. Shockwave and Soundwave go out and see all the fish and even whales swimming around. They are both amazed by the sight and I kid you not, Shockwave's reaction was literally: "This is so beautiful. This place is full of life!" places a servo on Soundwave's shoulder "I can't wait to plunder all of it and use it for my research!" eager one-eyed look and Soundwave just looked at him without a word, probably thinking 'WTF?! We woke up not even an hour ago, man!'

He could be totally unhinged and everyone would be terrified because no one would know what he could do next. Imagine Shockwave, going out and seeing the beautiful sunrise and newly slain aliens from the last attack. Going "Ah, what a beautiful sight! The perfect weather to cut up some aliens and use their flesh and blood to further my research!" while thanking a slurp from his morning coffee, preferably from a funny mug with some math/biology joke "For humanity, I mean." He says as an afterthought to a new intern that's looking at him with a very disturbed expression. If he's regular cruel and evil, they would know how to act, if he's goofy evil, they'd be scared to be near him in case he takes interest in you out of nowhere! He has a collection of giant fluffy slippers he puts on his metal legs and they make a *squeak* noise when he walks through his apartment, he sleeps in roadkill/dissection themed nightgowns or anatomically accurate organ shirts. He has a collection of science pun mugs he got from his minion as gifts.

Oh, he also has an Igor, well...sort of, it's just an intern that got in the field because his father is rich, but the intern is dumb, spoiled rich kid but he's surprisingly good at pulling levers dramatically!

"Pull the lever, Kevin!" - Shockwave says, staying way out of the potential blast radius in case something goes horribly wrong and the alien head he hooked up to the machine decides to explode or bite something.

Kevin has no forward thinking, so he's very often just standing there in the splash zone when something blows up. Surprisingly, he's the only intern that lasted long enough under Shockwave to become his official henchman- I mean assistant. He calls him 'Master Shockwave' sometimes. No one likes Kevin, so they just leave him with the mad scientist, yet Kevin always survives and he's so unfit for experiments and so dumb that Shockwave doesn't even want him as a test subject.

And that's what makes 'silly villain Shockwave' scarier, because he could be just walking casually, tapping at some buttons on his robotic arm's holo screen, then he perks up, beelines to an unsuspecting recruit. He startles the heck out of them and goes "What do you think about being featured in my new research papers? I just looked through your medical results and your I-bC levels are just perfect!". And before anybody knows, that recruit has been 'reassigned' and no one know if it will be lucky or not to see him again. Some of the more religious staff carry rosaries and crosses to which they pray whenever Shockwave passes by without an issue.

I just want to rant about TDP final because I feel frustrated after watching it...

First of all, I think the romance subplot is really killing the vibe of the show. One of the main theme of TDP is about FOUND FAMILY, but somehow the writers completely throw it away in favor of fanservice. The show main trio-Callum,Ezran, Rayla are being separated and I'm not feeling any dynamics from them like the first 3 seasons. They also treats Ezran like an obstacle in Rayllum love story and villianize him for acting like that? Also Callum, I know the show ruins him long ago but I can't believe they manage to make it worse. Why every Callum's problems and characters being tied to Rayla now? His home where he grown up in is being destroyed and he left his only family for his girlfriend?? Calling your younger brother a jerk for wanting justice for his father-who also HIS father too? "I wouldn't ask you to betrayed your brother" "You don't have to" Bruh who tf thinking this is romantic??? If Amaya was there she would have kicked his ass so hard. 🤷 Rayla has her own family and character's arc, but what does Callum have? Like they completely forgot about his relationship with everyone else besides Rayla. Avatar the last Airbender and The Owl House also have romance subplot but it doesn't overshadowed the main plot, which is about friendship and family. Image Eda and Luz's relationship being sidelined for Luz and Amity? Even the last shot of TOH is about Luz with her friends and family together, but in TDP is only about Rayllum now.

I also have complaints about the vibe, this is the EPIC final season, it's supposed to be treated like that! I thought they would tone down the quirky humor and jokes but no...it's completely out of place and making the main threats are not serious as it seem. Can you image Aang cracking jokes before his confrontation with Ozai???

The final fight is the most unclimatic fight I ever seen, they made the main villian a joke and let him being defeated because the writers said so. Tbh the show treated Aaravos like he is the worst man alive but his actions making the most sense to me. If they don't want us to be sympathetic with him they wouldn't gave him a backstory with his daughter.

If they developed something between Aaravos and Callum-the villain and the protagonist, some parallel between them, I would feel satisfied watching them having the final confrontation, but NO, this dangerous villain is being defeated by a bunch of kids by the power of love and friendship now! In Avatar and TOH, the protagonist and their love interest has their own screen time to developed their own characters, they are being separated to being developed outside of the romantic relationship, but it's not the case with TDP. I don't know what's interesting about Callum's character outside his relationship with Rayla anymore.

The only one character are not being ruined is Claudia, I'm just glad they did not turn her into a "She is good all along she is just being manipulated!" Or "She has a change of heart now and sides with the good guys to beat the villain!". Just let be her evil as she is!

If they decide to make a saga then I hope they will done better than this because the Worldbuilding is really unique and I don't want it to go to waste

[darkstarofchaos]

For the character ask game, I'm not sure how many numbers you're willing to do for a single ask, so you can just do as much as you want from this. For Prowl - 2, 3, 7, 8, 12, 15, 16, 23, 25

I don't mind a bunch of numbers! Gives me an excuse to ramble, lol. And to rant, because Prowl deserves better.

2: Favorite canon thing about this character?

His willingness to look Optimus in the face and tell him he's being stupid, and to do his own thing to mitigate the stupidity if he has to. Mostly applicable to IDW, but Optimus needs a foil so badly in G1 that I've pretty much transplanted it into G1 Prowl when I write him. Not in its entirety, because G1 Prowl isn't IDW Prowl, but I like that he has his own opinions on tactics and morality and doesn't just go with the Autobot collective. His job is not to be a yes-mech; it's to keep people alive and win battles. If his commander is making stupid decisions, what benefit is there in standing back and letting it happen?

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

Making the police car an actual cop was the most boring decision anyone could have made. In stories where the Cybertronians choose their alts, especially, there are so many more interesting things you could say about his character by giving him a pre-war job that's completely unrelated to his Earth alt. For example, I like to think he chose it for tactical reasons: it's a common black and white vehicle, thus perfect as a disguise, and the sirens let him "legally" break Earth traffic laws in an emergency. It's far more interesting if his alt is a result of strategy and reasoning instead of, "I guess I'll take the one that matches my old job description."

7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

I like that people took the little tidbit about Prowl having trouble with the unexpected that has exclusively appeared in two bios (that I'm aware of) and made it reasonably common. Would be really nice if they treated it seriously instead of making it comic relief, but maybe it does get treated more seriously these days. I don't read a lot of Prowl fic.

Let's talk about why.

8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

The image compilations of Prowl getting punched. The prick jokes that litter every TF Wiki page for every G1-based Prowl. The fanfics where Prowl is an uncompromising jerk or straight-up hate sink because the author needed a mean Autobot. The conversations and hypotheticals that make Prowl the source of any amoral action the Autobots take. The people who distill him down into Essence of Asshole and strip out every positive or sympathetic quality he has.

"Prowl gets villainized for being sensible" is one of my most hated fanfic tropes. Grab just about any fic where a Decepticon defects or earns the Autobots' sympathy in some way, and Prowl will be the only one who's unhappy with the situation. Which is perfectly reasonable because that is an enemy and he has no reason to trust them, let alone like them. But because we're supposed to sympathize with the Decepticon, that makes Prowl the villain. The other Autobots aren't naive and unreasonably forgiving, Prowl is just a bad person.

And it's not just IDW fics. G1 Prowl didn't get a whole lot of screen time, and thus no chance to develop his own personality, so he gets slapped with the same portrayal. Never mind the fact that when he does show up, he's one of the nicest characters - sure, he gets in on trash talking the Decepticons (though far less than some of the Autobots), but he's always helping out around base, shows concern for others, and pretty much stays out of interpersonal conflict. And yet, in stories based on a cartoon that has Powerglide, Gears, Cliffjumper, and Optimus Prime himself, I am expected to believe Prowl is the Autobots' resident jerk. Not gonna happen.

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

As I mentioned earlier, it's kind of quasi-canon that Prowl has trouble dealing with the unexpected. It's never appeared in any actual media, but it does come from official sources, so I wouldn't call it a headcanon. But I do headcanon that he has some pretty severe anxiety in dealing with people because of it. Things like math and physics are reliable; if something doesn't do what you expect it to, it's because you lacked information, and you can remedy that. You can update your calculations based on the results you actually got, or try to find out what you were missing the first time. Given enough data, you can predict just about anything as long as the results are consistent.

People are not consistent. You can make some sweeping generalizations about them based on categories - social groups, behaviors, readily obvious personality traits - but you can never say with certainty that someone will react in a specific way to something. Once you've known them for a while, you start to understand them and can anticipate them with a reasonable degree of accuracy, but that's assuming their behavior is genuine and consistent. If they're messing with you or pretending to be something they aren't, your data is inaccurate, and you can't correct it unless you know it's inaccurate.

People are the only things in the natural world that can deliberately give you false data about what to expect from them. So yes, I think Prowl has social anxiety. And probably some form of people-centric agoraphobia or anthropophobia.

(I also headcanon him as biromantic asexual. It has nothing to do with the above, and actually predates the anxiety headcanon).

15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)

If I had to pick just one pairing, I guess I would say Jazz/Prowl. Which is ironic, because for a long time, it was one of my least favorite Prowl pairings. Not because it was particularly objectionable; it was just everywhere, and I couldn't see it working. I think of Prowl as the kind of person who needs a steady, reliable partner who will let him have his routines and respect his desire to plan things before doing them, and Jazz's thing is more spontaneity and flexibility. He seemed like one of the worst partners for Prowl, especially with how I developed Prowl's disorders over the years.

In the end, though, that spontaneity is what brought them full circle to a pairing I can support. Because I do think Jazz would be willing to compromise and accommodate for Prowl's needs, and that Prowl could eventually trust that he's not going to suddenly change how he acts around him. It's a rather tenuous case of opposites attract, and requires patience from both parties, but I can see it working now.

16. What's your least favorite ship for this character?

First, an honorable mention goes to my immediate impulse, which was Constructicons/Prowl. I get why people want IDW Prowl to have someone on his side, and I don't think the Constructicons meant any harm. But Prowl was forced into the team through a series of traumatic events, the Constructicons like him for things he hates about himself, and being a part of Devastator seems to have contributed to his psychological decline. It wasn't a good or healthy situation for him, and I feel like the Constructicons having romantic feelings for him actually makes it more uncomfortable for me.

That being said, I'm going to have to go with Optimus/Prowl as my absolute least favorite ship. Optimus is very strongly motivated by morality and will generally take what he perceives to be the most moral action in a given situation. Pair that with someone like Prowl, who is willing to cross lines when he feels he has to, and you already have a relationship on rough ground. The only way things can work between them is either for Optimus to accept Prowl's "moral failings", or for Prowl to change a fundamental part of himself. There is literally no option that doesn't require one of them to compromise their principles or change who they are. And since Optimus isn't the kind of person who will do that, the only hope for a relationship is to "fix" Prowl. And that gets into abusive territory, because Optimus has power over Prowl in both the physical sense and in their professional relationship. He also has social power, because because Prowl is unpopular and Optimus is exactly the kind of person you wouldn't expect to be capable of abuse.

And yes. For the sake of argument, it could be toxic from Prowl's side too. He could try to hurt Optimus by throwing his mistakes in his face, or by blaming him for everything that goes wrong. But Optimus has a great deal of confidence in himself and the support of pretty much everyone, while Prowl is isolated and already isn't proud of things he's done. He is far more vulnerable to abuse than Optimus is, socially and psychologically, and he just doesn't deserve that.

23. Favorite picture of this character?

Mmm. I guess I would have to say this one, since it inspired an entire story that I'm still working on. There's actually another one that I like better (which also spawned an in-progress story), but I'd have to do more digging to find the link for that one. Might do it later.

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

When I started watching G1, the Autobots were just a conglomerate of near-identical personalities to me. Prowl was just one of the generic background bots who got a few minutes of screentime in one episode and was otherwise relegated to a support role. I was mildly interested by some of the fanfic portrayals I saw, but I definitely preferred the Decepticons, so I didn't read much where he was a main character unless there were Decepticon MCs too. And most of those fics were written by a couple authors whose endings were consistently disappointing, so after I stopped reading their stuff, Prowl just dropped off my radar.

Nowadays, Prowl is my favorite Autobot (well, second favorite after Skyfire). Thanks to IDW, I kind of see him as the Autobot version of Starscream (narratively if not in personality), but he's also a fascinating character in his own right. I love that he doesn't conform to the Autobots as a whole, he's fun to write and analyze, and he was the one good thing I got out of the IDW comics. 10/10 character, deserves better.

thoughts on today's volume! first off, let me say i really, realllllly hope that the next season doesn't have horrible couples acting like children at the finale 😭 hazel & hari were ruining the vibe . i gave FB props for not making her a villain, but i'm rescinding that now because they made both her and hari look absolutely ridiculous. it's astounding how much they manage to ruin their own characters. now let's get into the rest of it

FB you better be joking ! i've lost count of how many times they've used this box. at this point the feather is crusty, the silk is shattering, the massage lotion got bacteria in it, the whipped cream can is squirting out straight up nitrous oxide, etc.

i don't know what's more horrendous , the glitched massage oil overlay or this dress . what in the penny, nickel, dime is this ??

when i picked castle ruins for the final date i was envisioning like, a cute grassy hill with rocks scattered around, overlooking the sea . cute romantic vibes ... only for that shit to end up being a brick wall 😭 it's still a cute background though, and the date was nice

FB, where's my damn suit ! (i know i'm probably the only person that wants one but like, even the queen herself, s2 MC, had a suit option at prom) i ended up going with the black dress, which was a good shout because it actually looks really good with claudia . we're giving sun and moon 🌚🌞 <3

of course we won, but with the way this season's been going i wouldn't have been surprised if we somehow had a tie with sienna (i know it's not possible though because she gets dumped if you aren't wlw. if you're wondering about the ranking it was 4th: hazel/hari 3rd: sienna/kyle 2nd: bea/theo)

before going outside MC had a conversation with claudia's mother, and i loved this. minus the land part, this is the kinda shit i'd want as gifts IRL

when i tell you i groaned out loud when i saw who the VIP guest was. also, during the recap of our villa journey i have no clue why he was acting like i chose to be with jin in the recoupling prior the final one, did FB forget it was boy's choice ? (the AI is AI-ing girl...)

spin the block...? You can’t be talking like that White Baby

FB really screwed over the people who were romancing finn, i'm actually gagged . granted i think you're a bit delulu if you picked love instead of money with anybody besides lulu , but finn actually was an LI option. this is worse than hamish getting with ivy, i genuinely wanna know wtf were they thinking

the diamond scene with finn was the least robotic conversation this whole season, perhaps the misogynistic creeps that wrote season 5 came back to write that pile of bullshit. don't bother buying it. if you really wanna know: finn got back with kat, they tried to have an open relationship and it flopped

is he an option to run away with or what? i don't know because i slammed the tf out of the "i'm in a relationship" option 👹

love or money time, and i picked love of course ! i would say we walked off into the sunset but it's already night time

next week's volume is gonna be a reunion and ... ugh 😐 respectfully, they should've just pulled the plug here . at this point the only other islanders i care about are bea & theo, but after the final recoupling they pretty much became nonexistent (and knowing FB, this reunion is probably gonna be dedicated to helping one of these wack ass couples fix their relationship drama ...)

[ratheread]

OKAY

So I just finished season 5 of bsd (Like 5 minutes ago) and the manga yesterday. (I was already halfway through season 5 when i finished) so lack of sleep and not a life has brought me here. ignore mistakes ill fix in the morning if I remember I'm tired asf but I wanted to write this with it all still new. so heavy spoilers undercut. ALSO FEEL FREE TO SHARE HEAD CANNONS, IDEAS OR THEORIES

SO SUCH A GREAT SEASON. I LOVE IT more than Dead Apple. THE MUSIC THE VOICE ACTING, THE ANIMATION ALL JUST REALLY GOOD. I love the story to i was worried when i first got into bsd that it was going to be like clique but it was actually a really got plot line. Like 5 seasons scared me a little but nonetheless. Im going to the last few episodes (10 and 11) THESE EPISODES WERE AMAZING, LOVE THE VOICE ACTING AND THE ANIMATION. OMG THE ONE SCENE (EPISODE 10? I cant remember I'm to tired) anyways WHERE DAZAI GOT SHOT HOLY SHIT BUT I KEEP SAYING THIS DAZAI SHOULD SAY FUCK MORE OFTEN. LETS BE REAL IF ANYONE IN THAT SHOW ITS HIM THE SICK VITORIAN VAMPIRE CHILD (REALLY HOPE HE GOES TO NORMAL THAT END SCENE HAS ME HOPEFUL) . CHUUYA BEING FUNNY IN 11 LIKE JUST A TON OF GAY SHIT (JOKE) Okay Fyodor insane ass man (cool villain ngl) but i don't think he's dead. Nikolai is funny as hell. Now onto 11 LOVE IT SO MUCH THE HELICOPTER SCENE SO FUNNY. Now the end i never cried over a "villain" But i was close (not one to cry in general but Oda's death really has affected me IM NOT A SIMP idk really wish i knew but its the same with Akugatwa or how ever tf you spell it) Anyways hope this makes some sense ill come back and fix later. Thanks for coming to my ted talk. This is my new hyper-fixation I'm going to sleep. Sigma love him looks really cool ngl and his character is cool) skk shipper and sskk

[teslacoils-and-hubris]

alright thoughts on tf classic? Or at least the classic teams roles in the comics?

i have literally no knowledge of tf classic outside of how they are in the tf2 comics

that said i love nothing more than to share my opinions so let me just refresh my memory of them real quick-

granny pyro fucking rules if theres one thing tf2 is good for its making fucking insane women<3<3

I really have no strong opinions on the rest of them honestly. The writing fascinates me, though. because when you take a close look at their actions, they really aren't all the different from how the team acts? like. ok. bear with me here while i put on my english major hat and go all character analysis on you

(for the sake of clarity, i'll just be using mercs to refer to the tf2 characters, also under the cut cause this got longg)

what is their role in the plot aside from being antagonists? they're hired guns doing their job, which is taking out the administrator and the mercs, until something better presents itself in the form of the australium based life support thing. At which point c!heavy decides to turn tail and go rogue and get the missing australium for himself

everything they do in the comics? killing and torturing for their own gain and pleasure? nothing out of the ordinary for the mercs honestly. C!heavy is the only one that they go out of their way to make him an asshole (more on him later). The main reason they come off as such villains compared to our mercs? they play the violence completely straight.

Whenever the classic team is shown, ALL of the jokes come from them being the straight men to the antics of the mercs. If they weren't paired so wonderfully to play off of the batshit moves the mercs make. C!pyro isn't even torturing solider for information after she gets what she wants, she's just doing it because she enjoys hurting people- meanwhile Jane wants her to torture him for information he actually has so he can prove that he won't tell her. Every interaction is like this! They're professionals who enjoy their jobs as guns for hire- same as the mercs except they don't tell jokes or get naked and covered in honey while they do it. Thats the only thing seperating how the teams act. the main exception being C!heavy

He is uniquely portrayed as an asshole. He's here for a quick, easy pay (he tells grey mann he doesn't understand world domination types, its too much work), he's extremely caught up in the gain (him instantly backstabbing grey mann to get the life extender for himself, and when he yells at medic about how much he's cost them in animal parts)

One scene in particular, however, really sets him up as the Bad Guy. When he hurts Archimedes. It's sandwiched inbetween two jokes (him getting mad at medic for reanimating sniper, and medic implying sniper has pigeon blood now) so it's maybe hard to miss, but the panel where he throws Archimedes into the ground is such a stark stylistic difference that it really just pushes home that this is something Important. the panel is pure black, with C!heavy and Archimedes in bright white. a spatter of blood shows the impact and damage of the action. It really shifts him into the role of scary villain. He's willing to hurt and kill this animal that did nothing to him. presumably because he's pissed at medic and he knows it will hurt him. Medic's reaction and obvious pain makes him a more serious threat than the other classic members, because even when c!pyro drilled holes into soliders teeth, solider didn't care. Everything else the classic team has done has been an inconvience at best (ok well, except killing sniper, but that is also done by c!heavy and treated the same as this example so-)

It's a really beautiful piece of story telling! It's a fantastic way of conveying that this guy is the big bad to the reader without even using words!

Oh and this is also why our mercs were able to win in the end btw, the classic team was prepared for a lot of shit but they could never expect the random bullshit the mercs pull on nearly constantly. They expected guns that shot bullets not ones with a "BANG" flag then getting punched in the dick

It sucks so bad that nobody can even breathe around or mention Taylor without dating rumors or feud rumors or whatever tf they want to make up today

i know, it's a tough thing fandom-wise to readjust to after years of not having to deal with the dating rumor mill (i forgot how much i hate it actually!), and the constant need to either attach her to someone or concoct narratives about interactions (especially the ones that just have to twist her into a villain in some way) is exhausting. do you remember on live lounge in 2019 where she "joked" about people overanalyzing everything she does to the point where it's hard for her to say hello without people going, why did she greet us like that? how come she said that? did she have a tone? what does this mean? it's an unfair paradigm that was foisted upon her and she's constantly had to try and deal with (and us by extension of seeing it).

liveblogging i did in my notes app

first 25 minutes are really just nothingburger after nothingburger… no story or anything just 3 songs to introduce each group of characters in the story…

the villain has kind of a gay vibe but i dont like how he sings…. wait actually he talks the exact same way… he just lifts one corner of his mouth it pisses me off

also i dont like his 2014 ass hair

i dont understand whats going on. who is this kid. what is this tournament. im seriously so confused omfg what is going on

wait are the kids already dating . shouldnt they have said something about this first. IM SO CONFUSED

what tf is this "symbol"… why are they building it… I DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON what is the point of this song

is it still part of the introductory song compilation… for robin hoods companions or something

40 minutes in i still dont know what kind of story this is supposed to tell

this is a romantic duet but this girl is having a yuri experience with the forest girls at the same time it makes me laugh

the villain is like florent mothes salieri but hes too much of a diva so i dont like it as much

literally what tf is going on

this show is crazy they have songs about the most nothing moments but beats of the story that would be awesome if they progressed through song are completely silent or skipped entirely

i do think the shadows sequence looks really interesting

m pokora get up theyre taking away your son im sorry but you need to leave your wife behind shes only injured the villain is going to straight up kill the kid. hes who youre fighting for remember

m pokora has a crazy look in his eyes its so funny to me

im so pissed off m pokora abandoned his kid. that poor kid… right after he sang this whole number about him too

this diva always has his two shirtless men around so funny

i think this is a notre dame de paris type musical where there is a MINIMAL amount of talked dialogue however at least notre dame de paris has sung dialogue separate from bangers to make the story progress robin des bois is pretty much just 99% radio bangers so i DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON

the villains cunty little boob window and skirt ..

the kid only ever sings about his love but there was no context to that love im so over it

???? random anachronistic daft punk joke??

they skipped an interesting story beat to sing a nothingburger song again

why did they kill the cool black man. honestly thats on me i wasnt paying attention. but also why is the monk singing a homoerotic song about it. im sorry you lost your boyfriend mr tuck

caressing his face and holding his hand and all….. talking about the two of them being invicible and together forever…. sobbing into his chest… i think he just kissed him hello

i really do hate these 2014 haircuts sooo fucking badly

did they kill the bad guy??? when?????

why does the monk have so many songs i dont even know who he is and where he fits into the whole story

nevermind the villainous diva is there and chained up… lowkey sexily

what am i watching i seriously dont know whats going on where are they… is that the king…. are they getting married…. is the diva good now??? why is he being a good father ??? WHAT IS HAPPENING

i know this song i remember it. aujourd'hui on dit qu'il est temps maintenant on fait ce qu'on diitttt le jour qui se rêveeeeeee

i was waiting for the diva to show up for family time can they link arms and sing the last song tgt… no? alright …. whatever….

ok well i watched the whole show… did not understand one thing. i would still put it above 1789 on a tier list because i actually really disliked 1789s story (this one i just didnt understand) and at least robin des bois had a few bangers 1789s music is just whatever

[vertigoambrosia]

wait WHAT gojo is being blamed?

so i guess maki is dead and we're not even gonna acknowledge that?

and nothing on megumi or nobara?

what a fucking downer fuck this show

[monstermaster13]

TFs where it's just one character turning someone into a clone of themselves, looking at you tiger dancer tfs and that one time the dragon villain from Ring Fit Adventure got a lot of TF attention. Look I have no problem with these, but these are just arrogant to me. And this is coming from someone who does Dan Aykroyd character tfs. At least my were-aykroyds aren't obvious nazi wannabes unlike the tiger dancer ones.

'Zoinking'. Oh sure, you act like Zoinking is original but it's just a less horrifying way of saying 'brainwashed', it's just MC only it is the x-rated cut. 'you don't like zonking, get zonked idiot', more like get dum dumed because if those one of those people went up to me and tried to do it i'd turn them into a dum dum were-aykroyd to teach them how a happy transformation can be done without brainwashing.

'Balding'. As a general rule unless you are becoming a character who is naturally bald or a species that does not have any hair/fur in general you shouldn't be doing any balding/hair loss in transformations. I am sorry but if you have a kink for hair-loss you might have some serious problems and deserve to be thrown in an institution. I personally never got hair-loss in animal transformations and the same goes for teeth loss.

Hivemind transformations that don't make sense. For pete's sake, stop trying to enforce negative stereotypes of wolves by making them mindless hive-minded biggots who only exist to assimilate others into being their ilk, it is not cool, and as someone with more than one were-OC I am offended by this negative stereotype.

Jingoism based ones. I am sorry but Americans are typically overweight as they are, they don't need a weight gain fetish stapled into the mix, I am not into half-naked overly hairy nationalist anthro beast-men who think that everything great comes from America. Nationalism of any country is not something to be fetishized. I don't go around shoving Canadian stereotypes into my were-aykroyd stuff do I? Of course I don't.

Clothing TF. Imagine you are me and you are looking at a tf caption or photomanip of let's say Phoebe Cates in Fast Times At Ridgemont High, you immediately think 'awesome, somebody did a TG caption of someone into Phoebe Cates's character from that movie and recreated the iconic scene' only to find it's about someone turning into Phoebe Cates's swimsuit from that movie. 'Aaaaw come on, it's a stupid clothing TF? Why the hell did you just bait me using the image of sexy Phoebe Cates in that scene hoping I would think it's about someone becoming her only to pull this on me?'

British 'chav' type transformations. Yes, because all English/British people swear and smoke and act like soccer hooligans and that totally isn't a stereotype at all. Even if the author is from England themselves they should know better not to portray their own country like that.

Weight gain where it's all 'he got aroused by how fat he was growing', yes author or writer we know you have a fat fetish, stop shoving this crap in my face, I am not turned on by this, yes I liked weight gain in stories, but that was a phase I went through and I only like it if it's willing and happy and they can move and aren't a slob. Heck, my dum dum were-aykroyds are PARODIES of this exact type of weight gain, and they are better written than these because at least they are considered a 'joke' species in the main universe of my character.

Clown tfs where it just a just stereotypical clown. How is it that these unoriginal pieces of crap get a lot of attention and praise while my Spirit Halloween and Joker and Pennywise related works get nothing? Come on, I have almost done all of the Killer Klowns in TF form including Klownzilla and Krusty, I think that should be worth something. If you are just going to go to do a plain old stereotypical clown, screw you. Seriously? That's all it is, just a generic clown design? Booooring. Come back to me once you have done a Joker or Spirit Halloween clown tf.

Fat nerd stereotypes. Oh sure, all anime fans are overweight and are bad at sex, all nerds are bad at sex and have bad hygiene, that is totally not an untrue stereotype at all.

[elfelt-valentine]

you will regret this /j

generally my attitude has changed a lot for the way fandom goes about characters i care about (i just don't engage and stay in my lane), but even then i still want to see others create and fill in the gaps in the story, especially of a character like Pharma and hellhole like Delphi, and what still disappoints me is that many people see his manic state and just......... start applying it to him as his personality as-is. i cannot stand his portrayal as being willing partner of tarn, i cannot stand him being portrayed as a self-assured villain when even in text it gets pretty obvious that he really, really wasn't.

the thing with mtmte as a story is that it is interested in telling the reader that nothing is black and white (even though it still fails sometimes imo- including the case with Pharma), and extremes to which the characters personalities are warped by fandom is not Pharma-only issue. It's not even a tf fandom specific issue.

Pharma in no way is a good person. Not in a "evil" way, but in a way that he's not perfect by large margin, and the entire story with Pharma and Delphi was more of a mild horror story to me than anything else. Because we see not just the villain reveal and hint at the actual evil behind it, we see characters we're supposed to like act inappropriately (How Ratchet Got His Hands Back)

Pharma was a victim. Does it make what he did right or excusable? Of course not. But it is a clear decline in his character where he just gets worse as he gets less and less freedom in actions and agency. He's a "control freak". Of course he was going to go nuts.

We have no reason to believe he would've acted any way discriminatory (something i see very often.... take is not as offensive considering ratchets internalized functionistic views but it gets kind of ridiculous sometimes), offensive or somehow belittling people around him. For all we know he was not that different from Ratchet - just more uptight and controlling. There's so much more to be said about what their friendship was. But i swear it was not worth it if Pharma was always an ignorant, insufferable cunt.

Its not even that i dont enjoy jokes and lighthearted treatment of characters wrongs but not when its their entire portrayal and personality.

I'm not going to ask or force people to view him the exact same way i do (it is also pretty much a headcanon! we dont know enough about him prior to the events at delphi or luna 1! im just making my own conclusions!), but i also wish his character was taken more seriously. he's not a murderer for sake of murder, he's a professional who was forced into the lose-lose situation where he made wrong choices. he's not a soldier, or a strategist, he's not particularly smart, he just wanted survival and be able to continue doing his job after having done something so horrible. and after it didnt work out? what else did he have to lose? he continued falling and ratchet didnt help it at all.

genuinely cannot talk about the way pharma is treated by fandom without coming off as fun hating loser but its boiling. its boiling so hard

Encanto characters and their favorite Disney movies.

Alma- Snow White. First off, in canon, she would have been there for the very first Disney movie and it would have been ‘magic’ and amazing and reminded her of her youth. The prince gets the princess, the witch gets defeated, death can be defeated with true loves kiss, they get to go live in a magic castle in the clouds at the end with her true love after she was kicked out of her home by a villain… She would stan tf out of Snowwhite and she doesn’t care how old she is, she always gets teary eyed at the end

Pepa- Sleeping Beauty. Pepa may love dancing to traditional Colombian music but she also loves the ballet and she recognizes the music which is why she loves this movie so much. Plus it’s one of their classic love stories and she has a huge soft spot for it. Also the spindle scene used to TERRIFY her to the point the first time little five years old Pepa watched it she sobbed and had to hide her face and sleep in Alma’s bed for a week straight and Bruno would freak her tf out just by going ‘touch the spindle… touch it I say!’ And even as an adult she hates that stupid ass creepy line (which definitely isn’t me reliving my own trauma and passing it onto my fave)

Julieta- Aristocats. I have no idea, don’t even ask. She just looks like she would just like that suave jazzy music (and a movie where a loving devoted mother of three gets to star in her own romance with a guy who doesn’t really fit in? *click click*)

Bruno- *inserts obligatory Ratatouille movie joke* But honestly? Wall-E. He just loves the idea of that weird oddball adorkable little robot saving the day (plus it sorta fits into his oddball ness that while his sisters like the more classic animation, he likes the newer movies)

Agustín- Toy Story. Honestly? There’s no deeper meaning then just thinks it’s funny and cute. He is not ashamed to admit he cried at the third one.

Félix- Also sleeping beauty for no other reason then he gets to see his wife tear up even at fifty years old at the happy ending

Isabela- When she was little she pretended it was Beauty and the Beast. Now that she gets to be imperfect she can admit she loves Atlantis. A sorta unpopular not really ‘romantic’ movie that’s more action adventure then romantic and adorable

Dolores- Her favorite really IS Beauty and the Beast. The classic romance, the songs, the girl with the oddball parent no one in town really likes getting the guy in the end, the sheer perfection that is in every single frame and line… She wore both the soundtrack and the tape OUT when she was a little girl and there’s definitely photographic evidence out there of little Dolores in her mothers yellow dress reenacting the big ballroom scene

Luisa- Lady and the Tramp. Idk why I headcanon Luisa loving dogs and puppies but she does. Also adorable dogs falling in love? What’s more soft and joyful and relaxing than that? 🥺

Camilo- Dramatic theatre kid ass that he is? Is literally anyone doubting that it’s Aladdin? At all? No? Good. (Also he may or may not have based his WDTAB Bruno off his favorite Disney villain just to freak tf out of Mirabal)

Mirabel- Lilo and Stich. First off, we stan non-typical looking Disney heroines. But also the oddball girl who has no powers but the power of being fucking awesome and cool as shit saving the day? She loves it so much

Antonio- Lion King. Mainly for the animals but also Pepa and Félix are about to throw their phones because of how much they have to play ‘can you feel the love tonight’ whenever they’re in the car with him. He may or may not have refused to stop hugging Félix for a good hour after *THAT* scene

Happy Birthday Malleus Draconia 🐉

I am super backed up on my character reflections but i wanted to give translators some time to put out the stories. Thankfully, someone roughly translated Mal's union ssr. It's enough for me to go off of since i doubt there will be too much conflict.

Anyway, Malleus is kind of the mascot of Twst. He's the one who gets to be hyped up like he's going to be important. And i think it's kind of true. Maleficent is the favorite of Disney's villains IP. She's pretty wicked awesome and I think that mantle carried over to Malleus.

Here we go!

I remember oomf said that they were a little bothered by Malleus because hes TOO op with very little effort. They said the same about Leona, but let's stick with Mal. What we are forgetting is that he's a prince and learning magic is vital to his duty. Unlike Leona, he's going to be king. He's got a duty to set an example for his people and country. Plus, hes at least 1k years old so we aren't going to see him train. Personally, I cant tell if that's a good or bad thing. A weak Malleus is something i would have liked to see, but a bumbling prince would be a bad mascot.

Malleus has big shoes to fill. It's a burden that I think he hasn't realized yet. He says that he's not particularly 'good' in any subject, and to all of us, he seems to be skilled. In fact, Malleus seems to have skipped some of the arrogance that Leona has. His blunt statements about his power is a mere fact to him. He's powerful. He could literally have anyone any dorm he wants with very little effort. Malleus has the skills but not the experience to be like any of the other leaders. That's what makes him different. That's his weakness.

What i mean is that Malleus was extremely sheltered. It seems like being in public is new to him. Yes, he's old like Lilia but unlike Lilia, he spent most of his time in his homeland. The only life he lived was inside a castle. He wasn't severely monitored like Riddle, Lived in a shadow like Leona, bullied like Azul, and so on. Malleus is just himself, which is kind of innocent. Even when he talks about humans, he's fascinated by our culture, even our celebration of mortality. Yuu is one of the few humans who never heard of him and in turn is unafraid of him. Mal is pure in human terms.

Ignihyde is perfect for Malleus. Since he seems like a super traditional guy, he would learn a lot about technology and strengthen that part of his repertoire. In terms of a leadership battle, he'd most likely lose. Hear me out: you need to have really specific qualifications to be a representative of the dorm youre in. Malleus may be able to beat Riddle, but his personality would be too conflicting. He's not as picky as Riddle nor does he have a strict adherence to the Queen's rules. By that logic, Malleus would be SOL if he was the leader of Ignihyde. Idia's competitive where it counts and he would show off his skills not for others, but because it'd be a game for him. Innovation is the main component to Igni so Idia would be the only one who can get it done fast...as long as you don't give him an old Tamagotchi.

Let me just take a moment to gush about the cute little things about Malleus. Yes. I am deadass.

💚 he likes ice cream because he loves the cold feeling in his mouth. I would guess that he eats it way more often than he should.

💚 why tf does he have a big gargoyle in his room? Where did he get it? Does it have a name?

💚 he hates cake bc he doesn't like to eat it alone

💚 Hes a Capricorn which comes through in how he carries himself. Caps want respect but not attention. He's pretty lowkey despite his sociable nature.

💚 hes very cheeky. I like that you cant tell when hes joking about stuff.

💚 Hes the father of my children

Ok enough playing around. What do i want to see from him going forward? I want a challenge. Malleus is physically capable of surviving tons of shit, but it doesn't seem he's met his match. But that isnt to say that he cant be bested. I think his family is his weakness. Capricorns aren't known for their mushy sentimentality, but it doesn't mean that they don't have a soft spot. Seb and Silver don't seem to understand him quite as well as Lilia does (Lilia's post coming next) but having him around gives them time to bond. I want to see more of that too. The boys nearly idolize him to various degrees and as they see him in casual situations, it will make the heartbreak even more devastating.

It's the little things that Malleus does that make him popular in the fandom. We don't really KNOW him, but we get glimpses of him. His mysterious nature is accidental. Even as I write this, I realize how much I do like him as much as I love Maleficent (even as Kristen Chenoweth and Angelina Jolie). Chapter 7 better be 💯

Happy Birthday Malleus Draconia 🐉💚
