best part about season 3 were the flashbacks to season 1<3
#sorryyyy but uhm. i do not get it#sweet home#spoilers#heli liveblogs#rip s1 you will always be famous to me#i do not understand what s2 + s3 were trying to tell#and the one thing i came back for (eunyu hyunsu and eunhyeok)#were so underused#the sibling reunion was underwhelming and then they did nothing with it#eunhyeok didnt even get an arc#eunyu was completely sidelined at the end#sangwook at least got his justice by taking back his agency#but then idk how to feel about the fire thing when the fire was what took away his family when he was a kid....#yikyung was just a womb after all i guess. and she died in vain bc she couldnt even save her daughter#the relationship between the daughter and hyunsu from s2 was nonexistent#and jisu should've survived i'll die on this hill#and ui myeong died and suddenly everything went uphill??#he was a villain yes but he did not have that big an impact#maybe there's sth im not getting tho idk#the only good thing fr was sangwook taking back his strength#via memories of jaeheon and yuri and hyunsu

iāve been thinking about the pokĆ©mon memes where itās like playing off of that one quote thatās like ātruly strong trainers should try to win using their favoritesā and itās like āok well my favorite is [something blatantly overpowered]ā and itās got me curious. how many people genuinely love pokĆ©mon that also happen to be really strong competitively?
so if you will. pick a favorite pokĆ©mon (for any reason! whether itās cuteness or strength or nostalgia etc. no judgment) then go here https://www.smogon.com/dex/sv/pokemon/ and look it up
(youāll see something that looks like this. see where it says tier and has some gibberish afterwards? donāt worry if you donāt know what that means but tell me what the letters/words are)
also if there are multiple forms and the distinction matters to you make sure you get the right one lol cuz the tiering can be different
edit: forgot to mention i mean specifically in SV! which is what comes up by default. rip every pokĆ©mon that either isnāt in SV (itāll say ānational dexā) or used to be better but has since fallen off relative to new pokĆ©mon
#pokĆ©mon#pokemon#pokeposting#if you want to know what those terms mean#AG stands for anything goes. very few pokĆ©mon have ever been in here#the absolute elite. too powerful too broken#Ubers is below that itās like the normal ban zone where most overpowered pokĆ©mon go#OU stands for overused itās like the āstandardā top tier#below that is UU (underused) then RU (rarely used) then ZU (zero used) then PU (this is a pun. pee-yew. because they stink)#LC is little cup which is basically Baby Fightā¢ļø and NFE is not fully evolved so like babies and teenagers basically#and anything with BL (ban list) at the end is like a weird in between state#where theyāre too powerful for the tier they were supposed to be in but not good enough for anyone in the tier above them to want to use em#if youāre thinking these are insane ridiculous terms then i agree#slight edit i think i initially got the order of ZU and PU mixed up. so many tiers with negative mean namesā¦#i fixed it in the poll though#that is to say PU is above ZU#and if youāre curious how tiers work. the tier a pokĆ©mon is āinā refers to the lowest it can possibly go#but you can use it in any of the higher tiers if you want to (itās just more likely to get stomped on)#so like if a pokĆ©mon is OU that means you canāt use it in UU or RU or NU etc etc#but you can use it in Ubers if you want in addition to OU#most people i believe play in OU bc thereās arguably the greatest game balance#youāre allowed to use powerful pokĆ©mon but it isnāt as run wild go crazy no rules as Ubers#i mean even Ubers has rules but. fewer of em#AG has only one rule and thatās āyou canāt force a standstill endless battleā lol. otherwise itās the wild west#OU is popular bc itās a fine mix of rules that keep the game fair fun and competitive#and pokĆ©mon that are powerful and fun to use in battle#but if you have a different style you might like playing in a lower tier where everybody is super weak#*syndrome voice* but if everyone is weak then no one isā¦#itās all about scale itās all relative#edit: KNEW i was forgetting some nuance. some pokĆ©mon are stuck in the past aka not available in SV so theyāll say ānational dexā oops

Dude why tf wasnāt Holts artistic side explored more?? Like man got commissioned to do a whole ass mural and Iām pretty sure itās hinted in his diary as well that he does arty stuff and itās just like never explored again?? It was only ever in I Know What You Did Last Fright.
I think it just sucks cause like Holt only ever gets boiled down to being a loud ass DJ character and thatās it. But heās rlly artistic as well AND LOOK HOW HAPPY HE IS WITH HIMSELF. Also we never rlly got to see his anger issues explored in the online media when I thought that was such a cool and kinda realistic representation, especially of a teenage boy.
This all can be said for Jackson as well. He gets boiled down to the nerdy human and is just like a vessel for Holt. Also a great background filler ig. But he was so cool in the dairies. He was like sarcastic and kinda cynical and just so much more than he was in the media. He was stripped of his edginess fr.
Honestly I wouldāve loved to see parts of their characters developed further. And I want their diary versions!!!
Itās probably unlikely that theyāll come back for gen 3,with the introduction of Komos in the live action,but Iām cautiously hopeful of a return
Sorry bout the random little rant Whoopsies
(This song is so then coded icl)
#holt hyde#jackson jekyll#dude Mattel just underused them sm istg#like theyāre so interesting and they were WASTED#Tbf I could talk about how Mattel treated holt and Jackson for hours#tho tbh I could talk about holt and Jackson in general for hours lol#monster high#Spotify

on reflection the fact that we didnāt see laena claim vhagar, and now didnāt see the moment addam got on seasmoke either? kinda annoying me
#hotd spoilers#i mean at least we got to SEE addam and seasmoke meet#like since the timeline started weāve had three perhaps four dragon claiming and not cradle eggs - laena and vhagar; aemond and vhagar;#helaena and dreamfyre; addam and seasmoke; potentially aegon and sunfyre since itās kinda fuzzy on exactly how that one worked#(i imagine similar to however laenor & seasmoke worked tho? that one is similarly vague)#(oh fuck and daeron and tessarion are in the same boat right? very young rider very young dragon but weāre not told whether this is a cradle#egg or whether this child just felt a pull to a young dragon or whether they were specifically allowed to choose that dragon)#anyways i think itās really annoying weāve only see that one (1) claiming esp when you look at the riders of the other ones lol.#also vhagar gets a LOT of action helaena and dreamfyre donāt get anything and they cut the one thing they did do.#laena is vastly underused altho i will give them that they at least on screen establish that bond which is more than u can say for dreamfyre#the seasmoke thing is also like. if you were Just gonna kill him offscreen so addam could ride him. whatās the point.#literally could have just had daemon kill him atp & just have him lie to rhaenyra or whatever.#iāve really liked the dragon scenes weāve gotten but frequently itās like. u called the show house of the dragon.#surely you thought about how you were going to cheaply do the dragons or budget them in. why donāt we get more dragons.#āwell theyāre expensive-ā get an animatronic head to interact w like jurassic park. some of these characters rode their dragons every day!#okY iām done bitching i canāt believe after i spent all of got going āfuck these dragons where are the wolvesā now iām like#WJERE ARE THE FUCKING DRAGONS CONDAL

hi i just wanted to say i played puzzle agent because of your Lunacy comic and i wanted to thank you and ask if you will be continuing it someday :)
AWW YAYY THANK YOU ANON OF COURSE i'm so so glad that my lil comic is even remotely the reason anyone plays these games. as someone who just got into them recently that makes me rly happy... i gotta find more people to talk to about them
as for the follow up to Lunacy.... yeah! i'm gonna be making more! the only reason they're taking so long is that i've been putting WAY more effort into them than i need to. especially for big establishing shots. which i've been kind of going ham about because i love weird surreal environments and i want those nelson pov sequences to be Funky
anyways here are some sneak peaks of my favorite panels i've finished so far :*)
#puzzle agent#nelson tethers#puzzle agent spoilers#lalalala heeheehee whimsical spin#i am putting. the brotherhood in this comic because they were WOEFULLY underused so sorry#i like the idea that they helped him past the Armed Guards#anyways stay tuned#i might make this a three parter

gotta love Sybok. he's a lot like the Joker and you can't understand his twisted mind. and God killed him. and I bet he dips his fries in ice cream
#Star Trek what were you cooking with him..... I dont think you knew frankly....#I think you had honestly no fucking clue what you were doing I think you were taking shots in the dark w that one....#I do think he's underused but ONLY inasmuch that he could be a magnificent torture device for Sarek#like god thats so funny. Sarek your balls will NEVER make a normal child. go crazy about it

Sab: Mal has to figure out who he is without Alina, he canāt be defined by his relationship with her
Also Sab: now letās change some defining traits for Nina in order for her to have no goals, beliefs or important relationships outside Matthias
#they were so close to fix her on the first half#then proceed to underuse her on the second#netflix shadow and bone#sab spoilers#nina zenik#nina zenik deserves better#seriously you would think that being separated from Matthias would give her a way to shine on her own#but her interactions with zoya and inej were reduced to shipping talk#the only sorta interesting was with kaz#even then it was wasted#six of crows

i love madoka magica however i dont think we as a fandom talk enough about how tragic madoka herself is. probably because the narrative itself steers you away from thinking about her personally. shes not a character shes a desire that homura has, shes a force of good, shes homura's foil. but those are all madoka's narrative roles but madoka herself as a person is not really looked at because we are viewing this world from an unreliable narrator(homura) who only sees madoka as those things. The best thing homura could have done for madoka was give up on her, to let her go. because every time we go back in time the image of madoka is distorted, she loses more of herself every regression of homura's as she tries harder and harder to save her. We don't even know what madoka originally wished for to become a magical girl in the original timeline. and she actually acts quite differently than the madoka we meet. shes a lot more honest and caring and bold. by the time homura's has reached the actual anime madoka has been reduced by the sands of time to a figment of herself. she has no wants or desires of her own beyond wanting to do good and help her friends and when all her humanity is stripped away is when she finally acends to godhood because thats all thats left of her. an ideal and a faith in her. madoka kaname died a long time ago and all that is left is her ghost.
#of course homura doesnt care anymore because she cant go back she can only go forward cuz if she gives up she killed madoka for nothing#she could have left her pass away with dignity but now shes a ghost stuck in a web of time and the only thing she can do is keep trying#to save her#i feel like inately homura knows this but she doesnt want to admit to herself thats shes the real one who killed madoka kaname#this is a very charitable reading of homura#homura died too but its a clear moment because homura is our narrator#homura akemi will never come back madoka kaname will never come back#but life goes on anyway for homura#heres my truth#i loved rebellion but im actually a bigger fan of the original anime's ending so im glad it seems like red ribbon homu is coming back#i thought that ending was a lot more hopeful and beautiful and rebellion was kind of a downer but i always accepted they were parallel#and seems im right based on posters#for walpurgis#madoka uses one of my favorite literary devices which is the underuse of a character#i dont know whats it called but i love it when they dont outright develop a character usually to signal an upholding of the status quo#i already explained how madoka is not shown as a character but they do this in princess tutu too with mytho#mytho is a character from a book hes not real in the way that the others are and therefore cant actually change like the others can#hes always the focus of others and never the one thinking of others#i mean yeah he spends like the whole anime thinking about tutu but thats PART of his book its not him as a person#anyway ive been talking too much but i wanna bring up my favorite subtle use of this in takopi's original sin#the boy#idk his name rn lmao#hes straight up not present for the bulk of the manga and hes legit just absent from the ending scene despite being one point of a triangle#at first that weirded me out like??? he doesnt get closure???#but the reason was he didnt need it#the focus and moral is that those girls were 'weird' unable to be normal (because of trauma) and their closure was theyre at least together#but he doesnt need that because hes already normal hes the status quo a benchmark for the reader for the reader to judge the characters off#and the characters to judge eachother off of#anyway anyway sorry this has been so long#i had to get all of that out of me

finished the terror show! and i gotta say ā probably not a surprise but ā i liked the book better. tbh i don't think the show was long enough. like the book was SO long and despite the slow moving pace it had SO much packed into it, and i think because the show was only 10 episodes it ended up having to smush a bunch of things together and skip out of others and that totally took away from it. don't get me wrong, it's a decent show! but i think it had the potential to be even better if they'd gotten to like, take the time to faithfully adapt the book.
also there was not enough tuunbaq!!!
#the monster scenes were some of the best in the book!!! and they SEVERLY underused that big dude in the show!!!#like removing him completely from the carnivale scene? Bad Choice!!#also i was absolutely not a fan of what they did with lady silence in the show#i feel like the changes they made to her character and the plotlines surrounding her character were HUGE changes that like.#fundamentally changed a significant chunk of the rest of the plot ā to the shows detriment imo#ALSO for the love of god!!!!! bring back practical effects!!!!!!!#the creature would have looked SO much cooler if it was mostly practical effects and maybe a little cgi to help#what it ended up looking like was a WEIRD (neg) uncanny valley those-animals-with-human-faces-from-barbie-movies thing that LOOKED so fake#it was laughable really#it looked like a giant polar bear with a human face and it did NOT work#they had the chance to make that thing look TERRIFYING and they didnt and that is SO disappointing and SO upsetting!!!#OH also i feel like they made hickey WAAAAAY more pathetic in the show lmfao#like he was pathetic in the book too! but oh my god he was like a thousand times more wet rat pathetic in the show#and i think they couldve done better with his power trip like they couldve done MORE with it#(i will say tho. they picked an EXCELLENT actor for that role fhsjdid adam nagaitis has a LOVELY face to look at gjdkdk)#((and so does tobias menzies. somethin about that man in that hat was just ššš„“š©))#N E WAYS#i liked the show but i could have liked it even more if it had been closer to the book#the terror#mack watches the terror

rant incoming!
I fully believe that the expendables series is one of the biggest wasted potentials of a movie series in recent cinema history. This series could have (and should have) leaned heavily into the energy of the expendables 2, which is the best one imo so I might be biased, where it leaned into the fact that it was a bunch of action stars from various eras and embraced it instead of constantly trying to hand things over to younger cast members or botching what could have been one of the most entertaining franchises to exist. I mean for goodness sake Jean Claude Van Damme is literally named Vilain and is generic villainā¢ļø!!
I personally enjoy these movies because I'm there to watch some of my favorite action stars be cool and shoot up crap and pal around, and thats what it always should have been. Now, it can be as serious or unserious as it wants to be (like I've stated before I lean towards 2 so that's my preference of the ratio) but it should have been focused on this cast of characters. I understand that Stallone had stated with the third movie that he wanted it to open to a wider/younger audience but I really think that was the wrong choice. As far as I've seen from various fan response, we are all here to watch this cast! these guys! Not some younger actors we don't really care about. They should have ham'd it up! Maybe they kill off some mebers every once in a while if they want to keep it interesting. They are the expendables after all! They could bring on so many cool actors too. Imagine if in the expendables 3, instead of being what it is, they brought in some of the female action stars from the 80s / 90s! They could be new additions to the team, a mercenary squad that has a cool, friendly yet competitive rivalship with them, or even as villains! Sigourney Weaver, Linda Hamilton, Uma Thurman, Michelle Yeoh, etc!! So many cool ladies that would have been a fantastic and fun way to keep the movies fresh while staying on brand. Now if they wanted to bring on younger crowds then maybe bring on some more established "modern" action stars then. Ronda Rousey kinda makes sense to me because to my understanding she's fighter in real life. I do think you can bring on newcomers and I'm welcome to it! But I wish they didn't want to hand it over to them. I understand many of these actors are aging and may not want to do this forever and thats completely fine, but i feel that there is a better way then how they went. Also! longer standing villains would be so great! Not necessarily like Thanos but maybe keep them on for more then one movie. Allow establishing time or allow more time to have the battle of good v evil! I.e Vilain was two movies and not one, Stonebanks (who was wasted in 3 smh) given 2 or 3 movies due to his connection with barney or 4 if they had a really good concept/reasoning/writing, etc. There's so much I could probably add and maybe I will later if i think of it but it saddens me to see the state of where this franchise is heading. I hate that Tool hasn't been back once, his arc will never be finished. I hate that so many actors that should be in this arent any more or never will get to be due to its decrease in quality. I hate that the latest movie feels like the lacroix equivalent of a tangerine. I hate that these movies have had more bad than good recently. I know they were never masterpieces, but as someone who loves action films and enjoys many of these actors movies, it was such a fun franchise and one that's potential has been squandered. It's just sad. This is also coming from someone who is relatively new to this series. I didn't grow up with this so I have no nostalgia or anything, I'm not blinded by rose tinted glasses. I'm just a fan who wishes better for this series. I hope we get a movie that absolutely revives and revitalizes this franchise but after 4, I'm not betting anything on it.
feeling like we should have gotten sequels to the A-Team (2010) instead right now

There's a non-zero likelihood that the Barbie movie will be the tipping point of telling my mom I'm nonbinary oops
#my mom saw the movie Saturday and we were texting about the gender stuff (obvi the movie is all gender stuff) in it#and she said she liked Allan and felt like he represented the non-binary population but also felt he was underused#and it seemed like the movie was hesitant to go there#all of this completely unprompted by me#needless to say I've been in a 'does she suspect and this is her way of making it clear it's chill or is she just chill or???' spiral since#it's not really her that i think will be the issue tbfh but i also know i don't think she'll be able to help but tell my dad#and that's the sticking point#but hey I'm closer to coming out to her now than i was pre-Barbie movie so#thanks Allan

So sorely tempted to investigate the feasibility of a serial-numbered filed off Elistraeean drow type story.
#Like Dark Elves are no longer exclusively D&D property these days if they ever were#and you could probably even get away with keeping the evil goddess that's not lolth#but how much could you keep the core premises of something like Eilistraee without it being so obvious one gets sued#but since WotC is grossly misusing and underusing and just not using her#I wish I could so something with that same concept#Dark Elves are cool the concept for Eilistraee is cool#evil drow aren't evil by birth they're evil because their culture raises them to be so with endless series of compound trauma and#generational cycles of abuse
