Hori gave Mina a half assed "revenge" plot with Midnight's killer that amounted to her giving him a talk no jutsu that failed and then Hori let her defeat the slime villain and melt some of Machia's claws.
Mina's character was treated like a joke because that's exactly what she was.
Yeah mina ashido was robbed of a good character arc and honestly horikoshi fumbled with her.
Look I don't mind her having a revenge plot that can evolve to something more. Heck I don't even mind if her arc starts out incredibly late in the story after she experiences something incredibly challenging but what I do mind is the execution of whatever arc she had.
Cool she is supposed to have a revenge plot because she wants to avenge midnight but the problem is that we barely see midnight having an established mentor and mentee relationship with either momo or mina so all of that falls apart. For it to work you need to give mina meaningful screentime with midnight!!
After that we need to see some of mina's thoughts. After the war arc we can tell that mina has become quite overprotective over her classmates repeatedly saying that she doesn't want to lose anyone else and that everyone is precious to her. This is why we see her being most emotional during the vigilante arc and the UA traitor arc.
Now Iam gonna spin her arc a bit but cool midnight dies, mina is effected by it, she slowly starts to lose sleep over it and slowly starts to plan her revenge. Iida (class president and someone who went through the same thing) actually notices mina and confronts her about it. She after this confrontation doesn't back down and iida obviously expresses worry over what she is planning to do which she says she will try and handle it own because she doesn't wanna lose anyone.
After that conversation it's revealed that yuuga is the UA traitor and this puts some more emotions onto mina heck maybe she even starts to somewhat resent him and blame him for midnight's death. However, as the situation unfolds she slowly starts to realise that revenge wouldn't help her in anyway and that clinging to the people she has left and protecting them is what's best for her.
However, she acknowledges this later onto the battle while trying to get her revenge but instead of choosing to kill the people who killed midnight she notices that kirishima is struggling and helps to protect him instead
That's kind of the thing I think hori was trying to go for (maybe 🤷♀️ or maybe not) and this post is Hella rushed so Iam gonna make a wasted potential post on her.

First Book Of The School For Good And Evil Series Spoilers
I need to calm my nerves.
Right. I just finished reading the first book and all I have to say is what the ever living fuck?
I cannot tell you how upset this book made me, I almost cried in some parts I was so frustrated.
I'm just so confused, why the hell would you queer-code Agatha so much to the point where, I was convinced that she was a canon lesbian, but then make a fall in love with a prince. Not only just a prince, but a sexist and misogynistic prince. A prince that was literally bullying her for the entire book up until the point where she miraculously finds her self-confidence and starts to change appearance to a more acceptable and palatable way.
I am flabbergasted, I am shocked and I threw this book as hard as I could across the room because of how pissed I was.
I cannot tell you how pissed off certain parts made me.
What makes me even more annoyed is that I know that Agatha and Sophie are for some god awful plot reason made out to be sisters.
What the fuck?! WHY? Why? Why would you do that? Obviously it's probably for the overarching story but I don't give a fuck.
Why would you do that? this character is so obviously queer coded like I can't even lie, I can directly quote from the book supporting this:
"Here in this safe, secluded world, the two of them would make their own paradise"
"Agatha gagged. Who could ever love boys?"
"She grabbed her shorn hair and flaccid robes. 'I'm- I'm-'
'Still a princess.'
Sophie looked at her. 'And the only we'll get home,' said Agatha, forcing a small smile. 'So we have to make this kiss happen.'
'We?' said Sophie.
'We," rasped Agatha.
Sophie hugged her tight
'We're going home, Aggie' "
"Agatha met Sophie's lucid, beautiful eyes."
" Agatha scowled. 'That's not my fault.' 'I think it's because deep down you don't want me to find love, Agatha,' Sophie said, voice calm.
'What? Of cour-'
'I think you want to keep me for yourself '
Agatha's whole body went rigid."
"She broke into a run and charged towards torture and death, wishing that someday she and Sophie would find each other in a different world, a world without princess, a world without pain......."
It doesn't even stop there.
There's a whole part where Sophie dances with her, in her evil form (this is really important and I'll tell you why later), to fucking love music.
Don't even get me started on Sophie sacrificing her life for Agatha and then Agatha bring her back to life with a true loves kiss, she revives her with a true loves kiss?????? EXPLAIN.
Now. Rage aside, let me get onto the more put together part of this post.
I want to pay attention to the whole running thing the book has that evil and the school for evil students have with how "shameful" and "disgusting" and "unnatural" it is when they love someone.
Do you know what that sounds like to me? It very much sounds like the type of things said and thought about queer people throughout history.
A lot of the evil students have loved and they were told it's shameful and wrong.
Not to mention multiple characters drawing the conclusion different=evil.
(This could also be seen in multiple different ways and I really wanna get into that at some point in time but this is not what this post is about and I've already typed a lot.)
So let me go back to Sophie being her in her 'true evil form' when she dances with Agatha.
This is important as it can so easily represent queerness. Going back to the fact that in this book, looking 'ugly' and 'disgusting' is paired with being evil, it kind of feels strange that Sophie and Agatha dancing together in a ballroom-type setting, with romantic music in the background, and Sophie leading the dance, filling in the 'male' role, while looking ugly and 'evil' . Sophie even initiates the dance, sinking to one knee and holding out her hand for Agatha to take, like what the princes do.
I'm just really frustrated that the sisters storyline and the true love bullshit between Agatha and Tedros is the direction this series is taking.
That Agatha is loosing her ability to call out the flawed way the whole system works and eventually even just ignores the blatant sexism and misogynistic views ingrained into everyone.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
And before anyone crucifies me and calls me a proshipper, I do not support incest and I don't ship Agatha and Sophie anymore because they are sisters. Even if it was a bullshit, unnecessary plot point pulled out of Chainani's creative asshole near the end of the series because god, what will we ever do if queer people, sapphics specifically, get actual good representation for once????!!!! I'm just confused why you go through all the trouble and effort of writing their relationship and other queer coded relationships in the series like that if you're just going to make them straight anyway?
What's the point.
And don't even get me started on the movie, that whole thing was just one big backhand to the face. The fact that they made the actors for Sophie and Agatha kiss fully on the lips in a dramatic climatic moment, with music and everything?
Also the casual fucking antisemitism in Sophie's transformation?
#It really upsets me#And some parts I couldn't tell were a social criticism or a genuine belief the author had#Wasted potential I say#And it's frustrating and shallow#Also#Fuck Tedros#I hate hate hate that guy#Sophie isn't any better but I digress#Dot is the best character in this book and we all know it#Dot 💔#Queer coding (derogatory)#I will stick to my hc that Tedros/Agatha is comphet#It would've been so much more interesting for Tedros to be queer#I'm gonna be angry about this for a long time#sfgae#sophie of woods beyond#agatha of woods beyond#tedros of camelot#the school for good and evil#fuck netflix#And fuck soman chainani

it's pretty wild to me that people don't see that aang running off to save katara in CoD is his luke in empire strikes back moment, where he runs headlong into his want and attachment and he's narratively punished for doing so and not learning his lesson - aang runs after katara despite guru pathik's warning, like luke runs after leia and han from yoda on dagobah despite yoda's warning; similarly, as a result, things go to hell in ba sing se like they do on bespin - aang enters the avatar state before he's ready and gets killed, and ba sing se falls to the fire nation, luke fights vader before he's ready, loses a hand, and symbolically commits suicide after vader tells him he's luke's father.
the difference between their character arcs is that george lucas and co. actually went thru with luke's hero's journey and understood the fundamental difference between attachment and love, whereas I don't think bryke understood this difference and then dropped this from aang's arc pretty much completely and replaced it with aang digging in his heels into his want and attachment and he gets rewarded with energy bending from a lion turtle, the avatar state from a random pointy rock, and his forever girl from the self-indulgent white men that couldn't bring themselves to give their hero a compelling character arc that meant he might not have gotten everything he wanted at the end.
#the wasted potential of aang's arc gets to me so bad#the narrative and thematic set up is entirely there and they just shove it in the bin lmao#it especially irks as someone raised buddhist and dealing with writers that invoke these themes out of a fascination#with the religion and philosophy but then a complete unwillingess to actually commit to what those themes require of the character arcs#anyway sorry to say it#but zuko's arc does a better job embodying buddhist themes than aang's does in the end#despite all misappropriated aesthetics to the contrary#aang critical#but its really the writing like i LIKE aang i love his potential i hate how self indulgently he's written by the end of the show#atla critical#meta*#holly talks bs#also yes it would've been better narratively for aang katara zuko to the go the way of luke leia han#even if katara couldn't have been revealed as aang's surprise secret twin lmao#the thematic conceit of the triangle is the same in that luke and aang get over their infatuation with the first pretty girl he sees#and becomes the hero he needs to be#meanwhile hanleia and zutara are saving each other and being cool and kissing#anyway

Have we taken into consideration that perhaps, the reason Merlin does not die, it’s because the Gods don’t want him to? They’ve been playing with him this entire time, and The Cailleach made it clear that even if Merlin wants to die, he can’t, and he cannot change the course of his life. Merlin does not say, “yes” willingly, but rather tests to see if the goddess in front of him knows about his destiny, and her answer proves him right. It’s not because she sees Lancelot going into the veil. It’s because she knows deep down Merlin cannot do anything now. Merlin is more powerful than Gods, and to prevent him to come to this knowledge, they constantly stop him from achieving his destiny.
#i’m obsessed with this episode even if it’s the saddest one of season four#i believe they should have dwelled more into who this goddess actually is#and what she really wanted#from the start she has been saying emrys will be morgana’s doom#yet we all know things could have gone differently#it’s as if everyone around merlin and morgana try to tell them what to do#and since they both feel alone#they listen to them#so much wasted potential with this episode i swear#merthur#merlin#arthur pendragon#bbc merlin#merlin bbc

MacCready being one of the few companions to not lose affinity if you eat people makes sense when you remember the fungus in Little Lamp Light grew from decomposing bodies. Like the kids weren’t eating people directly but they were eating people adjacent things.
Not to mention how the Lone Wanderer can trick the kids at LLL into buying “strange meat” to eat which is just human so it’s more likely than not they have just straight up ate people so he’s either very desensitized, knows what food desperation can do to people or feels he really has not ground to stand on since he was in the same boat whether he wanted to be or not.
#like everytime I think of little lamplight and MacCreadys backstory it gets more fucked up cause like#children are kinda like not treated as such in fallout due to the nature of the wastes and that leads to such fucked up events#like of all the companions I forget that MacCready really has never like had stability and it sure as hell affects his confusing affinity#gains and loses but also like I just ate a person and that’s wrong but he can’t say cause I bet he found out in cases where the player gave#the kids strange meat what it was and was horrified but feels bad because it was probably the only good meals the kids had their in a while#he struggles with the idea that he knows it’s helped them live and that he enjoyed it#again like there’s always one follower with like a super fucked up backstory and like next to Cait MacCready takes the cake for fallout 4#just for how young he for all this to have happened and the responsibility he had#cause he’s like potentially the youngest next to piper? like he’s 22#fallout#fallout 4#fo4#robert joseph maccready#like he shouldn’t be at the club he should be idk playing madden or cursing at people in a Fortnite lobby#maccready

When you absolutely despise something a lot of people like, and no matter what way you look at it you cannot see the appeal, but you know you can’t talk about it in public or else you’ll get dogpiled to hell and back, so you just kinda sit there frothing at the mouth like this
#spaghetti speaks#minor blood#I know this image is typically used in positive contexts but it felt fitting here too#Also you probably know what I’m talking about if you’ve spoken to me before#The AM speech but aimed toward this one particular series because the rage it causes is GRAHH#it had so much potential#it could’ve been so so good#YOU COULD'VE KEPT THE PILOT PLOT INSTEAD OF INSTANTLY ABANDONING IT IN FAVOR FOR ONE OF THE WORST ROUTES A STORY CAN GO IN#I’m so mad because I WISH I could like it#I WISH I could make art for it- the character designs are fun to draw#but I’m not a fan of it#I have a visceral hatred of the series and its creator#but I’m alone in the opinion#minus my friends who agree with me#but I just#I don’t understand#I feel like if it was made by a bigger studio- people would hate it as much as me#Steven Universe was written significantly better than it- I’m sorry#SU got so much shit for years- this is praised everywhere I see#I could explain every single problem I have with this series and people will defend it#it’s so popular despite nothing being resolved or making sense#The people behind the studio were revealed to be shitty to employees but no one cares because this series got a new episode#GRRRRRGHGGHH#I hate the characters- I hate the nonsensical plot- I hate the plot holes- I hate the villain- I hate the wasted potential#I’d hijack this series and make a Snoot Game type thing if I could- my autistic ass will make this better#I'm not arrogant I’m just saying the writing is on the floor and it doesn’t take much to just fix it up and make it pretty#I’m ranting#sorry#I’m very passionate about things like this#Inorganic killers

Now that the main GSNK ships are finally seeing some progress (Waka knows Seo is Lorelei, Kashima and Hori Kiss, Nozaki realizing his feelings, Ryousuke and Miyako are together, etc), does anyone think Mayu and Mikorin have a shot at being canon??? I mean they’re relationship is absolutely set up in a way that is COULD happen plot wise, and the Manga is fruitier than a Jamba Juice, but they’ve been given so much less attention than the other ships ( that could also be because Mayu isn’t like a member of the main cast tho???) idk my hopes aren’t HIGH per se, but I feel like there’s a non zero chance! Like I’m sitting at a solid 7%
#mayu nozaki#mikoto mikoshiba#gekkan shoujo nozaki kun#gsnk#monthly girls' nozaki kun#mayumiko#mgnk#if it were not for their whole online alternate identities I would say no shot#but like#the comedic potential of them falling for each other under their girl personas??#LIKE THE LAYERS OF SEXUALITY PANIC THIS WOULD CAUSE#“if she liked the girl me then is she a lesbian? what if she’s disgusted I’m a boy!!?#but also being so dead set that THEY are straight because they’re think their crush is a girl#but actually uno reverse#just gay in a guy way#surprise! bisexuality exists!#Like this could be see sweet and also SO funny that it feels like a wast for Tsubaki to do all this set up if it won’t happen??#but even if there’s no romance I hope tsubaki does something with their online personas
