[r41ny-days]

I have two things to say:

Fuck Mal

Live laugh love Wavelengh

[autistically-zoinked]

Hearing people say "if you like OFMD you should watch black sails!" or "if you like wwdits you should watch Interview With The Vampire!"

It's like babes those shows are nothing alike besides they have the same subject matter and are both gay! "Oh you like comedy with a dash of drama? You should watch a harrowing, traumatic show that will have you sobbing your eyes out!!!!"

Arcane season 2

seeing some of the comments and takes people have about Arcane is crazy, bc why is being a Caitlyn Kirammin stan starting to feel like being a Abby Anderson stan

i’m being so serious the lack of media literacy and empathy in discussions surrounding those characters is CRAZY

“i don’t like Caitlyn bc Vi chose her over Jinx” -for one thing it’s far more complicated than that, secondly be mad at Vi then?? 😭

Arcane has complex characters for a REASON, same with tlou, there is no “good” or “bad guy”. Also (no hate to Jinx bc i love the character) but bending over backwards to excuse EVERYTHING she’s done, but tearing down Caitlyn for literally anything? It’s hypocritical at this point,

Thoughts on/during Mochi Mayhem? I'm curious. Especially towards the... memetic dance scene(s).

I LOVED IT!!!!

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet really put me in the "I wanna be a kid doing stupid dumb goofy things with my friends" vibes and Mochi Mayhem really delivered! everyone coming over to the player's house and hanging out at the start and the whole finding the remote mini quest at the community center really got to me. We're just a couple of kids doing kid things!!

Also the fact that Arven says Clicker like an old man means so much to me. We really are siblings.

SPEAKING OF ARVEN

He knocked it out of the PARK during Mochi Mayhem being just??? So funny??? Like, he's so pushy about being the player's one and only Best Friend

And he's so agro at Kieran over it to the point of ending the epilogue apologizing for it... But Kieran didn't even notice because he's so use to his sister being agro at him like that???

Also the fact that he has just enough control while mind controlled by Pecharunt to be embarrassed by the stupid dance dskgjdfjgjdfh Hysterical

There's a lot of other really silly moments that got to me very personally, like how much everyone calls out Nemona for being entirely too much, or just the implication that the three of them were hanging out without me, implying they've all become friends as well really gets to me

I don't like the paid DLC direction Nintendo is going in, but this is the best Pokemon Game post DS Era in my opinion, even if with the DLC it's more than double the price of a DS era Pokemon game with about the same amount of content...

But yeah! I really liked the Epilogue! I had a great time, I loved seeing everyone getting to have a fun time and being silly, I ADORE Pecharunt to no end, and am super happy to have Kieran back in the club room finally!

Something fascinating on the Wiki, re: Poppy and Percy's relationship

I know we all like to joke here about Poppy and his shit treatment of Percy and general lack of redeeming qualities, but I noticed something in the Wiki's episode synopses that kind of surprised me because if you ask the fandom it doesn't add up:

Yeah, in Season 1, Poppy generally treats Percy like garbage (save for the ending of Percy Plays Piano, but there he had an ulterior motive (using Percy as an anti-Horace weapon)), we all know that, but in s1e7 (The New Ship) after Janice calls him out on his bs and he takes the time to think...

well first he does the unthinkable (for an early 70's kids' show, at least) and apologizes to Janice, at least, for his weirdly cagey behavior. And even though neither he nor Percy properly address or even mention their absolute mess of a dynamic, afterwards he seems a fair bit...I guess nicer is the right word, to Percy.

In late Season 1 into Season 2, whenever the two interact (which is a rarer occurrence after that point, I've noticed. Seems Poppy mostly leaves Percy to his own devices for the most part), Poppy is noticeably calmer and more charitable-in The Map and The Key he's willing to humor Percy and his (apparently unwarranted, according to the ending) excitement, he either barely notices or doesn't care that much about Percy's nervousness in A Hole in the Ship when otherwise he'd have snapped at him about it-hell, in a scrapped synopsis for Milo's Race (curse ye, PirateJet, taking all the good plotlines from us!) he states outright that he cares about Percy, and was apparently fully ready to keelhaul Milo for hurting him had the trap chest worked as intended.

We love character development (and hate stupid retcons that get rid of it) in this house.

"do we still love each other?" regulus asked, a bitter irony in the question, and he was pretty sure he knew the answer. they were sitting in the common room and dorcas was glaring at him, glaring at the skulled serpent on his arm, glaring at the boy she had grown to resent.

he remembered the person used to be, and how dorcas had comforted him during nights when neither of them could sleep. he remembered how she shared her cigarettes with him, and he remembered how he was drowning and she pulled him out, giving him her lungs so he could breathe.

he remembered the night in which they laid in his dorm and she told him all her secrets. she told him what she was planning to do after she graduated. she didn't want to fight but she would, she would fight if that meant that the generation after them would be safe, if that meant that they would have a better future, if that meant they would get to live, instead of just having to get through their mundane existence.

she had confided in him, and he was a traitor. the betrayal was etched in his arm, aching, black and of a deadly. regulus' future. did he want it? he didn't know; he wanted the glory, he wanted to be important, to be worthy of his name, but did he want to lose everything in order to achieve that.

"no," dorcas said, and there was a certain anger in her voice that the regulus had never seen before. "i stopped loving you the second i realized that you would never be a good person."

I keep thinking about yonah meaning dove in hebrew and the idea of kotoko viewing herself as a symbol of peace and salvation....... I'm so *crosses one leg over the other and leans on the table with my elbows, cupping my chin with my hands and batting my eyelashes* it's just so intriguing y’know

It's 2024 can we please stop saying it's normal to trace or copying an entire drawing and pretending it's 100% your work? Just bc you changed the character or added clothes on a base you found on pinterest it doesn't mean you created original art

[reel-fear]

people who still make Joey the ink demon despite canon steering far away from that being the case this is for you I am sending u kisses XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO <3

People who make Joey well-meaning, sympathetic, a lighter shade of morally grey than canon I am also sending u lots of love <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3!!

And people who generally steer wildly from the direction Bendy takes with its characters and has fun with it I hope to see more from all of ur aus and rewrites!!

[borealing]

the motivations/audience messaging in mytab are quite confusing

[cowboyhorsegirl]

jaaanet

Janet!!!! My darling, my love!!! IMO she is not put in ENOUGH situations!! She has literally done nothing wrong (is NOT a war criminal)!! Somehow manages to be complex & well-written while also simultaneously never getting written abt :/// I’m gently holding her in my cupped hands 🥹🥰

[abyssalpriest]

unrelated to that lmfao

i love being not (insert religions based on the kings and their people as ''demons'') but being adjacent to the communities while knowing the kings on a personal level because oh boy

[miitopias]

ayano with #That red scarf amazing character design by sidu wearing that shit in hotass heatwave tokyo like a crazy person but it slays so its ok written by a misogynist except when she somehow manages to be the most girlboss character ever subverting her entire fate in her origin route M but still having to have a crush on fuckass shintaro it is no exaggeration that she changed vocaloid like kagerou project is That. Bitch.....

[chron0ph0bia]

am I the only one who didn't care too much for her s1 but absolutely adores her now?

"We want more complex female characters" you can't even handle an angry, grieving daughter who just had her mother killed by her future wife's sister, shut the fuck up
