genuinely truly completely shocked they kept the elves for real fat in the fat elf anime. Nobody could have predicted this

Cliff Gordon is so blatantly meant to parallel Nadakhan and it's kind of embarrassing how few people actually seemed to pick up on it. Like you're telling me they revealed that Jay had a birth father who was a misogynistic manipulative dickhead in the same season where he gets kidnapped by a misogynistic manipulative dickhead???? And then the point of Jay's arc was about him learning NOT to be a dickhead?????? Hello????????

it’s wild that riordan could have so much time to think about this rewrite and how he would build his world in a tv show and all he seems to have done is make it worse

Broke: Wendy Marvell being subjected to creepy men left and right

Woke: feral child Wendy Marvell stuck in the middle of a custody battle between Bickslow and Mest Gryder. Neither of which are fit to be fathers, both of them oddly endeared to this unhinged 12 year old.

not to descendants post but it's crazy to me people are still looking at the core four like "you should have saved and liberated the entire isle within a month of being in auradon" girl what. how much power do people realistically think they had over auradon for them to do this without being evil about it (which y'all also hate)

hi! i saw you say that mc can do terrible things, be toxic etc. but i was also wondering if we can see things of that nature happening *to* the mc like people exploiting them, being pressured into certain situations etc.? of course its understandable if you don't plan on including that. i was just curious because i feel like if you play a very kind/naive mc it can be dangerous in an industry that you don't really (professionally) know of!

Yep, that happens when we get deeper in the story. The band won't always have decisions on what to do, and sometimes it might screw them over. MC might even know they're being screwed over and can't do anything about it.

Legally binding documents sure are a bitch, aren't they!

It's been a long time...

I saw in one of the reblogs someone (I hope you see this!) mentioning that the combo of Alfred and LDR is underrated, oh well I've got good news for you... as I have a bazillion of Lana's songs that I associate with him (the -tism goes BRRRRR)

It's embarrassing to say that I've completed this in a span of 3 days, cause I started it way back in February

Procrastination at its finest.

i wish i could get a break from my own emotions, i either feel nothing or everything constantly and so intensely, its so exhausting, i just want a pause, a break, a breather, a vacation from myself, something that lets me live and not be aggravating or aggravated for once

Arcade having thick gaudy scars from gender affirming surgery and Edward having thick gaudy scars from a frat branding he got at the same age is something that can be so personal actually

Danny is the most responsible and focused of the trio. This is not a good thing.

Tbh it would honestly be great in a fucked up way if Nana Morri was like. Oh Fearne it was only one fun cocktail a day and the rest were dry. I promise.

re: jess' tiktok

this post got a bit long so im cutting it for space but tl;dr i talk about how jess explaining her relationship with jason doesn't exactly paint aarmau in a better light and in fact makes it worse.

okay so everyone and their mother has seen jess' tiktok at this point. i made a brief video talking about it.

the video was basically me saying to leave jess alone about stuff in the past, especially regarding her real life relationship. i also apologized for believing the rumors with no proof.

but i wanted to come on here and talk about the ramifications of presenting her irl relationship dynamic with aarmau in specifically PDH and Mystreet.

aaron knew about aphmau's age from the beginning. he knew that he was older than 14 y/o aphmau and he knew that shu was significantly younger than him because she talked about her first day of high school openly with him.

aaron was presented as the better option. the savior. the knight in shining armor. he was mature and older than aphmau's of-age peers. he was always the person that aphmau could cry to and her escape.

in mcd that wasn't a problem because aphmau was an adult. but aphmau was a child in PDH, any way you swing it. i think PDH feels even grosser to me considering how they upped aphmau's innocence and naivety, making her appear even MORE childlike and wholesome.

because, like, jess. you weren't 15 when you wrote PDH, babe. if you knew it was wrong in real life why on EARTH would you put it in your fiction. if you as a grown ass adult knew that what you did as a child was wrong, why would you go on and GLORIFY IT in PDH and mystreet!

because no one calls out aarmau aside from sylvanna who is potrayed as a "psycho helicopter parent who doesn't really care about her kids happiness" when (in this specific case) she was RIGHT to be worried about aaron!

there's a difference between bringing awareness to a certain topic and fetishizing or glorifying it and that's what jess did. she potrayed an unhealthy relationship dynamic with a huge power imbalance and was like "yes, young teenage girls, this is what you should look for in a partner! this is the type of man you want in your life"

and tbh with the context we now have, it kind of makes her look worse because if you as an adult knew this was wrong and you feel guilty for it that is fine. but what isn't okay is knowing this shit is wrong and still writing it like it's perfectly okay!!!

bare in mind: i am not shaming jess for what goes on in her irl relationship.

im just confused and concerned because im trying to sit with this thought process in my head and it does NOT make sense because this situation was so easily avoidable.

literally just make aaron in the same age group as garroth and laurence. theyre only older than aphmau by a year! hell make aaron a freshman too for all i fucking care just not a SUPER SENIOR who is about to go to GODDAMN COLLEGE and who is literally old enough to pay TAXES.

you could've even not had aaron in PDH at all and have them meet in mystreet if you still wanted aarmau to parallel your in real life age gap.

anything. anything at all would've been better than what jess did
