solani pushes him away. tai expected it. but he's still a little bit hurt and frustrated because it wasn't meant to happen this way. he doesn't let solani speak, his words come out in a frustrated ramble as he confesses just how long he's liked solani.

you know shit’s going down when a treebark shipper names an oc rory

So let's say you're obsessed with a certain fan favourite team from 2020 sweeping their way through a game in a tournament. It tickles your brain in all the right ways- the efficiency, the cooperation, the different but equally important roles, the complementary ways they work together like clockwork. So you decide to compile all four povs of them into one video. And you write a nice analysis post. Or fifteen analysis posts. But analyzing canon isn't enough- you need to fictionalise and sensationalise it. Make it bigger and better than it is. Dammit, you need to write fanfiction of it. Two years and 100k words later, you finally get to the scene. You think you'll finally be cured of your brain worms. But no. You decide to brave Reddit and post the original analysis (it shouldn't scare you as much as it should but it does.) Maybe this should've scared it out of you. Maybe you'll shake it off. Unfortunately, no. But what now? It's been three years. It haunts you. You've posted that post everywhere. You've written the fanfiction. You've dramatized it in every way possible- wait. With a deep resigned sigh, you open a doc and start planning your new original fiction-

can i ask why do you dislike satosugu?👀 not hate! i'm not particularily fond of them either outside of a platonic relationship tbh, i have a long mental essay as to why lol (feel free to not answer if you feel like this is controversial, i don't wanna make anyone uncomfortable)

not a problem, i love openly bashing this man. it’s mostly because i don’t like geto to begin with LOL the short version is: i think he’s kind of a bitch, really wack villain arc, and his ct it overrated 🙄 also he was a terrible friend omg… i feel no sympathy for him all around, and pairing him with satoru doesn’t gain him any points in my book.

even as a pair, i don’t see the appeal. sure, they were the strongest at the time (but even in that statement i roll my eyes) but the second satoru started to take himself seriously, geto started to crash out like an insecure dcom second lead, there’s no way i could overlook that in their relationship. he was not the only one who got his ass kicked by toji and he was acting like he was and the whole universe was plotting against him 🙄 one little mission goes awry and he’s ready to be a villain? LOSER! that is so not the ninja way!! and even if toji caused him that much pyschological damage: (1) toji died, so he’s not your problem anymore, (2) he was in hs like sorry you thought you were the shit and got your world rocked like oh nooo there are people more seasoned and more powerful out there than a second-year highschooler 😱 knuck up, buttercup!! do you see anybody else losing their marbles? NO! 

i could be serious and give an elaborate answer but unserious shorthand version is really don’t think he needed to do all that nor do i think he had the status to be doing all of that 🙄

Quit with the obsession with wanting Elain to have beef with Rhys over him stopping a FIGHT, Luciens ass was right upstairs, did you want a right to go down if he smelled them & felt disrespected since they didn’t wait for him to at least leave? I dont like Lucien at all but if she comes for Rhys then she’ll probably get shit on by others for it so I would stop wishing for this is I were y’all. Sneak around in secret but to be all dramatic over him stopping a fight or WAR is childish? Feyre was upstairs’ pregnant and y’all wanted them to makeout or fuck like they seemed close to doing while Lucien was upstairs & could catch them …So unserious 💀

Woof, anon.

The point seems null and misplaced. I have never discussed this subject before. But there is a singular chapter in my 26 part 190k fanfiction which I can only assume you have read and singled out which is why you are sending this. Fascinating and moderately unhinged.

I personally have never remotely desired Elain to *fuck* Azriel in the hallway on solstice evening. Ew. That would be like, wildly inappropriate in my eyes. I also don't think Lucien would ever react violently to Az and Elain kicking it. He's always been classy. I don't think the mating bond would change that. Mah boy.

A war over a kiss feels like... quite a wild stretch.

On the subject tho, I do think it was wack AF that Elain wasn't included in rhysands scolding and she's certainly allowed to get angry about that eventually. High Zaddy has the lovely habit of making females' decisions for them without including them and it's tiresome to read. Hiding Feyre's pregnancy gave me the same ick vibes as it did with about 1 million other readers. Rhys is certainly less than holy in my book.

Don't plan to respond to random aggros on here in the future 🧚 will turn off anon if i get this kind of random negative energy. No one needs it over imaginary faeries lol.

[tbgkaru-woh]

It would be super interesting to see/hear what you think about SVSSS! But Binghe is also my poor little meow-meow so I am 100% biased. (Your last SV anon needs to get off their high horse, too. SV can be a lot of fun, but if you talk about it you're always gonna sound a tidbit insane, and that's okay!)

one of my friends really dislikes the series which put me off of it for a bit but she also loves wangxian (so already very different tastes from me) and so far what ive seen of svsss visually or from soem other danmei-moots, it feels like the most laid back fandom out of the other works BECAUSE there's no high horses and it's unserious and wack :D i so so so wish we got live action or at least mdzs-styled donghua though because I already saved up link to the 3D donghua and the designs there don't inspire much :( but i do need the movements and the voices to help me out in determining who i like, it's how i work

Fully agree, all of em are trash.

However I just want to find a new actor to inspire me creatively LOL I can't look at joe without getting the ick

Plus, low investment. Another one screws up and I'll bounce to a different one. Cycle continues ✌🏽

that being said, Rahul Kohli is bae. His social media is run by himself and he's goofy and unserious. Often talks about how Hollywood is bizarre and wack and he's aware of how tainted the industry can be.

Noted!

binging everything judgment day pt 4

Raw 8/1/22 Edge has a call out post on his twitter dot com for the Judgment Day. 

Next mysterios have a interview about their match for the tag team titles against the usos.

Mysterios vs. Usos(w). Heel Jey is odd to me at this point honestly. Dom is legit looking good in this match. Dom was close to winning. Uso’s win off a 1d to Dom Dom. 

HERE’S THE BEAT DOWN!!!! Judgment Day come out to kill the mysterios. (rhea hurting dom counter: 3) SHE CHOKES THAT BOY OUT. (it should have been me!) Rhea pushes Dom into Edge’s spear and here comes the descension from Dom. HAHAHA JOKER RHEA. Also a mic picks up Rhea saying “who’s your papi Dom?”. Damn they already fuckin. (damn I wish i could join judgment day)

Raw 8/8/22 Dom and Rey have a confrontation with edge (still not calling him adam copeland fuck you tony) dom is fucking pissed and he pushes edge. Oooo it’s happening hehehehe. Judgment day have a promo before finn’s match with rey. Judgment day have a promo about fear and danger and I don’t like this crowd. Damian is mean mugging so hard.

Rey vs. Finn(w). Rey is sad because Dom isn’t with him. Finn tries to do a three amigos but doesn’t know how to shoulder shimmy lol. Damian interferes and then edge gets involved and they brawl to the back. Rhea comes out with a bloodied Dom and it distracts Rey (Rhea hurting Dom counter: 4) 

Raw 8/15/22 Judgment day start off raw. SUIT RHEA! WE WERE BLESSED OH LORDY. RHEA IS PAPI! Ok so Damian was giving this menacing speech about how he’d fuck up edge alone and said that beth would have to push edge around in a wheel chair AND FUCKING RHEA MIMICS DOING THAT I CAN’T SHE’S SO UNSERIOUS. Rey comes out of nowhere and attacks Damian and finn but he still won’t hit rhea (partially because she’s still hurt.) 

Raw 8/22/22 Dolph has an interview and Finn interrupts and says dolph is the same as edge and rey. Dolph was wearing a vest that looked like something Rhea would wear. 

Zigglypuff vs Finn(w). Finn finally gets his new theme. A solid match but that’s pretty obvious from these 2. This is a really good raw match. Rhea interferes and Finn gets the win. 

The Judgment Day have a backstage interview where Rhea says we run monday night raw and then take a dig at the zig. Finn say Rhea is beating up Dom to the point that he’s starting to like it and well… he’s not wrong.

Damian vs. Edge(w). Damian finally gets his theme. Holy shit since when was Damian doing that high flying shit god damn that looked cool. Edge goes top rope to the floor holy hell they just doing whatever they want. Some mfs in the crowd chanted we want tables priest said ‘you want tables?’ then does a razors edge to edge through the announce table. Edge did a top rope hurricanrana wtf they got the green light to do whatever. Damian even hit a killswitch (I get that reference). Damian tries to spear edge but Edge counters with a south of heaven lol. Edge does a fucking canadian destroyer and a spear to win. 

Raw 8/29/22. Ziggler + Styles vs. Judgment Day(w). Rhea pls bring back this fit, shes so daddy. A power bomb into a fame-asser is crazy (i refuse to call it a famouser). AJ doesn’t want to hit Finn… interesting. Priest pins Ziggler off of a south of heaven.

Edge appears and then Judgment day decides they’ll stay in the ring. Also rhea’s braid is dyed purple aww. “He told no lies, not one cap to be found.” - damian priest 2022. Damian also says beth wears the pants in the relationship. Edge is “comfortable in is masculinity” lmao this promo is wack. Edge Rey and Dom attack the judgment day. Rhea confronts Dom with the kendo stick, Rhea is basically taming a puppy here it’s kinda funny. Rhea takes the kendo stick from Dom and then she gets pulled out of the ring by finn and damian. 

This episode of raw is also the one where Seth says that Matt’s kids don’t wanna see his bitch ass anymore. 

Edge does the picture sign bit again. 

Aww Dom is so sad that Rey is tagging with Edge and not him poor bbg. 

Clash at the Castle 9/3/22. Rey + Edge(w) vs. Judgment Day. I love the titantron that looks like a castle its so cool. Rhea’s gear is so fuckin cool here. Damians sell of being crotched is funny as shit. Edge does the worlds worst 619 lmaooooo. Rhea attacks Dom after Dom gets the refs attention (rhea hurting dom counter: 5) she was like that wasn’t in our plan. Edge and Rey win but then Dom takes edge to DICK KICK CITY BIATCH. Then Dom clotheslines Rey like how Eddie did and the Judgment Day laugh hysterically.

SORRY I MEANT TO FOLLOW UP EARLIER but I got caught up in talking about The One And Only Thing I've ever added to Jo's backstory and gotten invested in so I lost track of time 😭BUT NO YEAH GOING THROUGH THE LIST WAS A 10/10 EXPERIENCE... I just really enjoy your commentary and seeing your takeaways so I don't need anything In-Depth to have a good time, even just finding out what your faves are is pretty neat; as a guide I definitely think it sells the works while setting realistic expectations overall :] On That Note would love to hear your thoughts on the movie!

LMAO YOU'RE GOOD i wasn't expecting a follow up anyhow so it's alright :]

and im glad the list was enjoyable. i suppose LMAO AGAIN i tried not to go too much into things so my thoughts are relatively sparse (because rest assured i have PLENTY of notes on everything i've seen but i didn't want the thing to be 100 pages long (╯▽╰ ) ) but as long as it gets the job done then that's fine with me:)

OH BUTTHE MOVIE YAYAYA I WATCHED THE CORRECT ONE THIS TIME LMAOOO IT WAS EPIC definitely enjoyed it A LOT and was a really great way to end the series !! again i love the sound design and track and i esp loved the music that played when the team was working out how to sneak into the house of representatives (i've noticed that bitches LOVE acoustic guitars in this series and While Unexpected it works SOOOO good)

the whole Handcuff Bit with inoue still gets me like My Brother In Christ How Long Have You Worked Here BUT I ALSO GET IT. AND ALSO WHEN HE WENT TO ARREST OGATA AND OF COURSE DIDN'T HAVE ANY CUFFS... GIRL I DIED FR...

anyway 11/10 movie SOOO glad you directed me to it LMAO

[lemonhemlock]

I'm probably one of the few who finds the bits we got from Aegon as a character—while "inconsistent", disorganized and tonally a whirlwind—compelling, fascinating and worth inspecting and exploring (and maybe romanticizing and sexualizing :P). And this includes the textual sexual violence, and the heavily implied child sexual assault (whether pedophilic in nature or not aside for now). And though I understand people creating a fanon version expunging these sociopsychologically horrific, and fictionally hard to stomach aspects of his character, I can't say I even want to! I find him compelling because of these aspects, wanting the presentation of it may be for now.

His narrative, arc, symbolism and themes, and not to mention TGC's performance so far, are all just too compelling for me to pass on! Obviously biased, but frankly it's difficult to believe someone would read f&b and not realize the potential of his character and the entailing entertainment... On this note, I do have to say I find the complaints of certain fandom parts (they happen to be Aegon stans, and both team green and team black) about the choice to centre Alicent (both in the narrative and in Aegon's life) pretty disagreeable. It's wack, trite, and bitter. There are clear timeline oopsies and confusions due to the changes, and behind the complaints are genuine arguments to be made for an Update House of The Dragon that could have been, but the game ain't always fair... Just accept you are stanning a minor character, cast villain, stuffed like a pigeon with turkey filling, and eat your 10 minutes of beady eyed screentime. And just make everything about him? When someone takes a sip of wine, it's secretly about Aegon btw. All windows are about Aegon, when they are not about Alicent. Every dragonbond is secretly about Aegon/Sunfyre if you squint hard enough, George told me himself.

I think the major reasons why he comes off as deeply unlikable to the casual viewers (not even addressing the green/black tribalism for now) are due to unflattering framing and POVs that position him as either a gross nuisance, obstacle or clear antagonizing force. Some of this is due to needing certain characters covering certain aspects of a certain themes. How do the royals treat their servants? Good—bad is a big spectrum. Sexual violence is on it, and it happens to fall into Aegon's realm. And while considering the many other unflattering characteristics, u could argue this is overkill or unfair to Aegon, I gotta counter that's a deficient way of looking at fictional narratives. This character-lasered reading misses the forest for the trees. Not every character has to be likeable, relatable, or sympathetic from the get-go. And honestly, I think the many atrocities Aegon is collecting like Pokemon balls to be amusing and kinda compelling.

In another narrative, a character like Aegon's would b a byronic obsession in someone's romantic/gothic story, or a horror villain, or a god harassing poor mortal souls. There are very fun bits and pieces stuck in this guy and even in this age of many studios bucketing under fanbacklash, a guy can just hope the writers find him worthwhile enough a character. And rant into ur lovely inbox ofc.

And at the end of the day, people are just not gonna like a guy LOL. No amount of screentime or birthing scenes or dragonriding can make me find Rhaenyra compelling, and no lack thereof can make me find Alicent, Helaena, or Baela less compelling, speaking of female hotd characters only.

Okay almost.

Being they plan to introduce golden boy turned war criminal Daeron, I believe a both fun and horrific decision would be to make him compassionate towards Aegon's plights and woes and thus give the audience an entry into sympathizing with Aegon, which the writers clearly want us to do, all interviews and panels considered, cope and seethe as I have!

Are we even going to get a Daeron/Greenfam interaction? LOL What a deeply unserious show.

I would like to start off by thanking you for leaving such an interesting ask in my inbox! I think this conversation is a little overdue, since there’s been perhaps an emergence of the school of thought (lol) that suggests that greens upset or critiquing Aegon’s extra dark portrayal in the show are somehow whitewashing him or woobifying him. IMO that fundamentally showcases a divergence in people’s priorities in storytelling and how they interact with this fictional universe. I, myself, am very intrigued by dark!Aegon in fics and most of the works I enjoy tend to deal with taboo topics, so it’s a little unfair to paint everyone with the same dismissive brush.

However, I’m not just a HotD show watcher, I have been engaging with ASOIAF one way or another for over a decade now and I think I can mount a workable interpretation of how this series operates. One of the reasons I actually love it so much is because it has internal thematic logic and because, generally speaking, the characters that inhabit it are appropriately rewarded or sanctioned by the narrative (or at least it seems to be heading in this direction re: its endgame). Believe it or not, I was thinking of answering this ask by ranting about Ned Stark, but I decided not to, because we’d be here all day. 😅

Anyway, point is that I’m not very willing to sacrifice that aspect for the sake of character exploration that contradicts with the main themes and messages of the story. People are certainly free to disagree with me on this, of course. 

I imagine it is a tricky business for authors, trying to decide exactly which and how much of a flavour of awful to assign to a character without ruining the rest of the story. Some might start with an outline or a feel for where they want the story to go, but, if you happen to create a character that veers off your intended path or seems to write itself in a direction you never planned for, it would be honest for you as a writer to acknowledge that and accommodate that accordingly in your story. Which isn’t truly a possibility here, as we need the characters to hit certain beats in the narrative and, ideally, they should do it in a believable way. This is often a problem I have found with Fire and Blood and lord knows I’ve already dissected it enough times here, if anyone cares to take a gander - the fact that characters are sometimes prevented to grow organically, because George needs them to perform certain actions in order to move the plot along. So, ideally, a good story would find a balance between these two scenarios. 

So to me my main anti-argument is that the Dance was never a story just about Aegon, this is not the exploration of a fucked-up psycho rapist and why he does the things he does and how he thinks the things he thinks. While that certainly might be an interesting avenue, I am not super convinced the Dance of the Dragons could offer the appropriate space in which that kind of exploration could be pursued in a satisfying manner. This is an ensemble piece, and while Aegon is an important part of it, he also exists in relation to other characters. This exaggerated degradation of his would inevitably bring down his entire “side” with him and that, in turn, ultimately throws off the balance of the entire story. 

Let’s stop for a minute and take a look at what they decided to go with in the show. Rhaenyra has consistently received the framing that her “mistakes” amount to (at most) victimless crimes (she is absolved from murdering Vaemond and the show makes no effort to explain the havoc caused by screwing up inheritance laws). Whereas what do we have for Aegon? 1. raping and terrorizing servants to the point of panic attacks; 2. enjoyer of the child-fighting sport; 3. implied sexual assault of children. This is beyond caricature. The addition that he enjoys watching his own children fight and that they file down their teeth to make them more formidable, stuff that wasn’t even in the books, is just downright infuriating. 

These are not traits you endow a character with because you’re interested in exploring the deep dark depths of human depravity. That task was always impossible in the first place with a character who has so little screen time anyway and I would argue it was never really a priority anyway. The intention was always to make Rhaenyra look good by comparison and that’s not something I can respect from a storytelling perspective. 

Note that this is the starting point for Aegon and Rhaenyra. This is supposed to show how they behave before the war, in a relatively stress-free situation, when they’re unburdened by war trauma and their family dying - explanations that could be given as reasons for their later ruthlessness. But nothing show!Rhaenyra (or even book!Rhaenyra) has ever done could ever hope to amount to the trifecta of awfulness that they assigned to show!Aegon. 

So, what exactly are we doing here? The point of Aegon and Rhaenyra as direct adversaries was always that they inhabit a similar plane. It’s not even about Aegon being likable or sympathetic, it’s about the fact that it separates him too much from Rhaenyra and it positively sanctifies Rhaenyra by comparison. You could certainly prefer one over the other, but their differences are meant to inspire conversation; they cannot be so completely removed from one another as to operate in different leagues of morality. If we monsterize Aegon too much, we don’t even have the space to properly explore that in the story and it would mess too much with the way his character needs to evolve in order to hit the particular narrative beats that George decided are set in stone. So giving him these massive transgressions as a starting point and turning him basically into the Antichrist throws the rest of his arc off balance for me and the thematic parallels become too off-kilter for me to be able to enjoy it. 

To me Rhaenyra’s story is very reminiscent of (white) feminism, very “rights for me but not for thee”: a rich, white, privileged woman fighting for her own advancement and not caring about the plight of anyone else. The Dance of the Dragons is meant to inspire conversation and debate, both on the legal front and on the political utilitarian front. Is male primogeniture fair, even if it maintains stability in the realm? Can we change that? How? Does shifting to simple primogeniture when it comes to royal succession engender progress in some way? Should royal succession reflect inheritance laws for the rest of the population? How are laws changed in a medieval common law system? Is it fair for the King to change laws however he wants, at the drop of the hat, or should the lords have some say? What can/should the King do if his vassals refuse to abide by his choices? When it comes to waging a destructive war to replace one “unworthy” candidate for the throne with another “unworthy” candidate, where do we place that on the moral spectrum? Is the population thriving/not dying in war more or less important than maintaining male primogeniture? Is it really worth it just to have a nominal female successor that won’t really bring about systemic change? These questions are really worth exploring and there are no straightforward answers to them, but if Aegon is Satan on Earth, none of these questions matter anymore, because Rhaenyra automatically becomes the better option and no price is steep enough to pay to get rid of Aegon. And the point never was that Rhaenyra would make a better ruler than Aegon or is even a better person than Aegon; trying to shoehorn her into that narrative only hurts the story overall.

There’s something to be said for the fact that in the last stages of the war, Aegon’s and Rhaenyra’s journeys inversely parallel each other: while Rhaenyra is rejected by the population and kicked out of King’s Landing while she’s occupying the Iron Throne, Aegon manages to convince people on Dragonstone to fight for him and he takes the castle with little resistance. There is something to be said for the fact that it’s Aegon who gets to kill Rhaenyra, not the other way around. That he’s the one who gets to live that little while longer. The author could have simply chosen for them to have one last battle and end up killing each other, but he doesn’t. And IMO we would not be able to get to that point in the story in a way that feels true and organic to the internal logic of this fictional universe if we corrupt Aegon’s development and make him so reprehensible to begin with.

TLDR: I take issue with HotD’s portrayal of Aegon in direct comparison with the text of Fire and Blood, but I am open to dark!Aegon explorations in fic. However, I do not feel like this is appropriate in canon, as it messes too much with the balance of the story and corrupts the wider themes and messages, both of the Dance of the Dragons and of the ASOIAF series in general.

[selamat-linting]

so anyway, back to bitching again (i always bitch) yall know the women's group? the one i talked about? yeah so a little backstory first for the newcomers: this girl, she was a former member of a branch of my org. she was from another town. when she moved here, she's supposed to be helping my branch right? but no, she broke off with no warning, and started a women's group with her friends. thats the group im talking about. they focus on producing art / writing as a form of their resistance. with the occasional charity event in-between. its a very laid-back almost apolitical group. my girl plans to push her friends' left by meeting them on their own terms. doing resistance the way theyre comfortable with and hoping it would influence them to be radical.

suffice to say, it failed. my girl is kicked out of the group she founded, and when i offer her to go back here, she doesnt want to. claiming this town is too far gone for any meaningful resistance. my feelings on that loaded response is well documented on this blog but anyway. lets go to the present

this group is now doing another event, a talk show about mental health. now this would be good except the topic is this, "self diagnosis: valid or not" featuring a fucking psychiatrist.

i dont know, maybe because im a victim of (mild) medical neglect from a psychiatrist, and im firmly anti-psychiatry after seeing how lucky i got compared to my comrades with a more stigmatized disorder, but this is just wack to me. idc.

like, first of all, in what world that a discussion of whether self-dx is a special topic of discourse to be treated this way? girl look at the state of our healthcare system. look at how we lack a social safety net. look at how there's practically no help for abuse and bullying victims. we dont even have a homeless shelter in this town! look at how many mental health workers that still treats homosexuality as a disease or asks child abuse victims to forgive their parents. look at how the criminal system treats addicts!!! look at the prisons! by god look at the prisons!!! prison inmates are prime examples of men and women who is failed by the state over and over again and end up hurting and abusing everyone around them, fueling the cycle anew.

youre putting the cart between the horse, by discoursing about self diagnosis when you havent even talked about how bad society is falling apart and how inefficient and inaccessible the healthcare system is. and im not just talking about the money, i know treatment's free, but is it really treatment when you have to wait four hours every two weeks just to meet an out of touch doctor for five minutes who'd just tell you to forgive your abuser then dose you up with potentially addictive medications without telling you the side-effects or even listening to your concerns?

also wow, inviting a shrink for a self dx discussion. i would bet money their stance is that theyre against it because heyyy therapy is free and covered by national insurance uwu and its your personal responsibility xoxo. very neoliberal. i always suspect their politics is as progressive as a gay conservative since they decided not to make a post acknowledging pride month when they personally call themselves a feminist collective. how come a group of college-educated women could be this unserious? unprincipled? eugh. i expected better of them than the empty headed dumbfuck boys who made a metalcore concert for a day where at least a million people died by the hands of the state but turns out theyre just a different flavor of annoying and ignorant.

but i guess i have to act professional and nice around them since they did agree to help for the pro palestine campaign. i hate this fr fr!!!!!

“I didn’t run away this time.”

You did tho. Like no one was asking you to bitch slap those bats for no reason, it’s like me walking into a forest and trying to fight a bear.

Oh I just remembered while typing he was trying to distract them…but like didn’t they do that with the guitar? Also, his problem wasn’t the demobats, his problem was the town and the people accusing him of being a satanic follower. He ran away from that. So like, his fight with these animals that aren’t consciously good or evil was a bit wack.

Also, Steve was like useless in the upside down. They all were batshit for that anyway. Like Will almost died down there and everyone was walking in with hazmat suits and demo dogs were crawling around. In season 2 the upside down was terrifying. Hopper went down there and almost died because he got tied in the weeds. HOPPER and like, I get Nancy being down there, but once again wth we’re fucking Eddie, Steve, and Robin doing in the upside down? Also they were joking around and shit. It all felt like such a joke. Seriousness was plucked in that second.

It was just not a good choice in my opinion. And this isn’t even because I don’t really like Robin or Steve (or Eddie) they’re fine characters, but they also are kinda comedic relief characters and that immediately made the UD feel comedic. Also…they just didn’t wear anything to cover their mouths? Dustin, Lucas, Max, AND STEVE all went down into a part of the UD in season 2, they should know that.

It was all so ridiculous. Just thinking about season one and characters like Jonathan, Mike, Joyce, Nancy (her being down there was the only part that made even a little sense) only to have random characters that weren’t really a part of all of that just hop down into the upside down and successfully fight off demobats as if it’s some hot and sexy marvel scene of all the avengers fighting together. So unserious.

I’m just ranting. I’m also pretty neutral about the teen characters, so these were just my thoughts while watching season 4. I don’t hate any of them they’re still fun and good characters to watch, but having them be the first ones to step foot in the UD after Will is ridiculous. If anything they should have waiting till season 5 and let Lucas, Dustin, Will, Mike down there. Maybe El and Max too, that would have made sense and been a full circle moment because those kids have been running the show. I think it just made a lot of the stuff that’s meant to be scary or unsettling a joke.

Also this is an opinion, not saying everything I said or even anything I said is correct, just how I feel about it.

More in depth thoughts about the movie~

Aside from all the unique ideas scrapped (STAR BOY ROMANCE??? VILLAIN COUPLE???)

bruh

animal sidekick sucked

friend group was forgettable (+ annoying short one)

fuck simon- his reason for turning his friend in as a CRIMINAL in front of the ENTIRE KINGDOM was absolute dog water

and grandpa what the fuck you could've just played your guitar are you fr with this life long tragedy you made your entire family worried about their whole lives

Like legit what was his thought process on this

I don't give my wish and continue playing my guitar which would naturally make my wish come true

I give the king my wish, therefore I forget my guitar skills so my king can keep them and maybe give them back to me????

WHA- YOU LAZY ASS JUST KEEP PRACTICING

IK IK He wanted to "inspire" the next generation

Yeah

BY PLAYING GUITAR

WHICH HE WAS ALREADY DOING

BEFORE GIVING IT UP FOR NO REASON

Nah he's lost me

some of these wishes were so unserious I can't believe they went through the trouble of giving them to the king of their country to protect as objects like how are you not embarassed to trouble him with a first world problem like this

If I had to go through the trouble of publicly appearing in front of the entire country and its leader you best believe that wish would be insane

LIKE ITS LITERALLY MAGIC YOU MIGHT GET PEOPLE THINK BIGGER

The king's tragic backstory on why he made his kingdom was just ???? never properly explained to give him depth despite hinting we would get a deeper explanation

He just

Took like 2 days to become a maniacal evil monster who covets only power,,,come on man I thought your fatal flaw would be vanity but the ending he was just hahahaha everyone die so i become more powerful,,,,smh

like he wants to LOOK GOOD in front of them and eliminate the few people who could ruin his reputation and standing,,,until the end

yeah the villain song was wack tiktok was right

had a moment I thought it would turn it into a banger villain song but it just,,,,chillaxed bk to the chorus,,,in a cringe way too

Rest of the songs are ok

The MC is kinda boring idk

The jokes almost never landed for me

But I like this one scene where he is looking at wishes to destroy and goes

"-perfect nanny for your horrible children? P O P P I N G T H I S O N E"

Yeah if I had to choose some wishes to burst it'd be that one too buddy

6/10

I watched Wish

Wish is

A movie

chenle will always whisper in your ear, his lips touching your skin. the way he leans in makes it seem like he'll say something serious, but the words that meet your ears are always silly and often out of pocket, making you laugh and roll your eyes at the same time. yet, you both can't help but love the intimacy of it, no matter how unserious he always is.

haechan lives to kiss the top of your head. yall thought i'd say jeno but he's a forehead kisser, and in my book forehead and top of the head are very different lol. haechan likes kissing the top of your head for many many reasons. one, he can always tease you, probably by doing some wack shit like biting your head (don't question pls). two, it can also be soft and loving and he can hide his blush from you when it is. he can even breathe in the scent of your shampoo that's become so familiar and comforting to him, but he'll never tell you that (until he starts going on long cheesy rants about why he loves you).
