okay fine ill write out my thoughts on Nezha because i have a bunch of them. tbh i feel kinda weird about being perceived about anything related to Nezha... not least because of yume so im tagging this veryyy sparingly. edit from halfway through writing the post: this shit is SO FUCKING LONG??? im colouring and bolding and smalltexting everything so it isnt a big block of white.

1 day later edit: its over 5000 words lol help me. also edited and added a few clarifications

and obviously, MAJOR SPOILER WARNING for both Nezha films.

NEZHA 1

1. the jokes

we must start with the first movie. i have said this so many times in every review to my friends and family and on Letterboxd but i will say it again. i believe Nezha 1 suffered from what ive dubbed the "Wandering Earth effect", where they put in a lot of cheap jokes because theyre worried the film wont do well. but then they get greenlit to make a sequel and now have the confidence to go all in and blow everyone away.

slight tangent to talk about Wandering Earth—its a Chinese film about the sun dying so earth has to rocket away from it and find a new place to live. Wandering Earth 1 was extremely underwhelming for me, littered with a lot of random jokes i was kind of meh about, and it felt kind of disjointed overall. which is why i barely remembered it when i went to watch the sequel, which i was absolutely floored by. then i went to rewatch the WE1 and was like "what the fuck is this?!?!" like, my ratings for WE1 and 2 are 1.5 stars and 5 stars respectively. not that my ratings are very good metrics honestly but the point is the quality difference is so big.

after i finished Nezha 1 (before watching Nezha 2 the very next day lol) i had this hypothesis because Nezha 1 had a lot of cheap jokes as well and since Nezha 2 was now the fucking bestselling animated movie of all time, there had to be a jump in quality.

i really felt like the quality of the first movie steadily increased as the number of jokes decreased lol. like at first there were a lot of gags (ugh "guy screams like a little girl" trope my beloathed. okay we get it ha ha its funny when a big tough guy acts like a girl ha ha isnt he such a pussy!!!!!) but the story started getting more serious and they decreased. they didnt vanish completely, but thats fine tbh. they just need to be tasteful and not overwhelming or over-the-top, which i think Nezha 2 did fairly well.

2. the story

but back to Nezha 1. i think it has all the elements of a good story. there are very obvious themes around "not letting your birth dictate who you are" and "fuck destiny and fate, your life is what you make it" and "prejudice is fuckin Bad" and on a smaller scale "isolating and treating a kid like an outsider is definitely going to stunt his growth and make things worse". but they felt kinda... faint? i think they couldve, shouldve leaned into them more. like be SERIOUS!! stop trying to make it a lighthearted comedy this is a really moving story :((

for example, the dragons' whole issue is they helped Heaven defeat demons and for that they get to guard the demon jail... which doubles as a jail for them too. we only get Shen Gongbao's motivation reveal later in the film which is fine (i thought his initial appearance was very funny though. yeah guy-who-looks-like-Pitch-from-RotG, im sure you are not going to be the villain later (in retrospect this is me making assumptions based on stereotypes, which is what the movie is literally arguing against, but in my defense this was the beginning of the movie when i still thought this was going to be a silly casual kids movie. i will elaborate later))

i just wish this was emphasised a little more. less for the audience and more for Nezha himself, because he doesnt know why Ao Bing is going sicko mode on Chentang Pass. he runs away before Ao Bing's dragon heritage is revealed to the village and they realise the dragons stole the Spirit Pearl, so his motivation stopping him doesnt include "bro you are NOT evil like people say you are. i would know." or "bro you did not have a say in the circumstances of your birth. i would know (2)" its just "bro stop trying to destroy my fucking home?"

i cant remember when he even realises Ao Bing is the Spirit Pearl, i dont think Shen Gongbao wouldve told him that part. like... im thinking about it... he does seem to know by the time they hold hands under the lightning, when did he find out.......

anyway. obviously the lesson can be extrapolated by the audience, but i think it wouldve hit harder if Nezha was aware (and i think the movie was still meant to be somewhat directed at kids, so i thought theyd be more overt about it...) like Nezha clearly has heard some rumours about the dragons, because he laughs at Ao Bing's horns the first time he sees him (though it feels like more of a "u look stupid" laugh than prejudice from being taught the dragons are untrustworthy) (though it could stem from the same place, just that he doesnt take it seriously.) (but he does readily accept that Ao Bing is on his side vs the yaksha)

of course you can also say "well, that actually does help get the message across better because it shows that from the start, Nezha doesnt have any preconceptions about Ao Bing('s kind)!" but idk. i think not being prejudiced is slightly different from understanding and actively choosing to go against/unlearn prejudice. mostly because its a more realistic thing for viewers to learn rather than "just never be prejudiced in the first place!"

but i guess if its a movie for kids they should be learning from Nezha's perspective? no that doesnt work because the village kids are actively hostile to Nezha... ALSO IM NOT SAYING their prejudice isnt justified. of course he hurts the villagers and theyre understandably afraid, but we are watching from Nezha's perspective and (should) know that hes acting out because no one is willing to give him a chance, which just feedbacks into a negative cycle and it really should not be on the kid to break that cycle but alright

of course of course you can also say that the unlearning prejudice part is for everyone else to learn, not Nezha himself. but he should still be aware of it, imo.

iirc what happens is Ao Bing says something along the lines of "you cant beat me without using the full power of the Demon Pill, also please stop youre gonna die anyway and i have to do this" and Nezha is like "去你妈的 shut the fuck up, i dont HAVE to do anything (WE dont HAVE to do anything), I MAKE MY OWN FATE (WE MAKE OUR OWN FATE)"

technically on Ao Bing's side he can interpret this as the correct 'lesson' ("i dont think you being a dragon means youre evil, you can make your own choices") but on Nezha's side hes going thru his crisis and learning he doesnt have to be the demon people think he is, not fully understanding Ao Bing's struggle with the expectations his father laid on him. its sadly not fully explored, which is kinda fair since Nezha is the fuckin protagonist, but their journeys are parallel and mirrored, and theyre both on the fucking poster (BOMB fucking poster to use the scene where Nezha holds his spear to Ao Bing's face btw. WHY did he have to stand so cuntily huh. not standing straight no he had to lean to one side slightly. SERVING!!!)

what the hell was i talking about? right so. Ao Bing's character arc isnt emphasised as much as Nezha's which is fair but i think it wouldve made for a better message if they did. or maybe im talking out my ass.

3. other notes

well, moving on, loved the reveal of his dad's plan to take the lightning for him, and the overall revelation that he always believed Nezha could be reformed, contrasting with his portrayal up to this point as the 'rod' to his wife's 'spoil' ("spare the rod, spoil the child"), which gave the pessimistic impression that hes harsher on Nezha because a part of him still believes he is a demon. so you find out he had faith in Nezha the whole time, he was just hard on him for his own good etc. what a typical Asian parent line honestly but i dont have a huge issue with it because that reveal was really good.

also liked the portrayal of Nezha's mom as a general alongside her husband. yes #girlboss and all but paired with her unending love for her son, it doesnt feel like a flat "strong woman who is not weak (feminine)" trope. theres something to be said about mothers in fiction but i will Elaborate on that in the Nezha 2 part of this meta, because oh boy.

its also an interesting way to ensure Nezha grows up even more isolated—a typical portrayal id expect would be his dad does the demonslaying and his mom stays at home and pampers Nezha the whole time. but that wouldnt jive with Nezha's need for validation and attention that causes him to sneak out and cause trouble for the village. (yeah at this point i was like ohhh this movie is actually about childhood neglect (half-joking))

which begs the question, what if Yin couldve spent all her time raising Nezha? if she could give him the attention he craved would he have still turned out like this? perhaps not, because the criticism Nezha receives does cause him to "live up to" the villagers' perception of him being a demon (as i said, feedback loop); so if that didnt happen we JUST WOULDNT HAVE THE STORY... which was also why it was a genius move to send Li Jing up to Heaven for a year, forcing Yin to take over the demonslaying job and not be able to spend time with Nezha.

this is really convoluted and messy i dont really have any rhyme or reason when writing this. i just felt unsatisfied with the first film; i thought if they didnt try to have so many comedic moments, and really sincerely told a story about two children fated to be 'good' and 'bad', subverting those expectations and then joining hands to truly take fate into their own hands—like, just take it seriously, man. but, whatever, it wasnt done THAT badly, i still enjoyed it.

NEZHA 2

1. the jokes + overview

ooooh boy. lets start with the comedy—VERY much toned down compared to the first movie. there are definitely still jokes, but they arent as... obnoxious? honestly im not sure how to articulate my distaste for the jokes in the first movie, might have to rewatch and analyse every one of them and why they didnt contribute to my enjoyment lol. maybe cuz its 2019 and the jokes are dated? would 2019 me have enjoyed them? unsure.

but anyway. 2 hour+ movie, absolutely GORGEOUS animation, seriously, i actually wanted to rate this 4 stars but scenes like the big fuck off tree pushed it to 4.5 stars. seriously, i usually advocate for pirating movies, but this was truly an Experience to watch in the cinemas. like it genuinely conveyed the amount of GRAND that Heaven should be. and the moment i left i heard another hall playing Nezha and was like "damn i wanna sneak in and rewatch it". i did not want the experience to end.

2. the story

so anyway, Nezha 2 definitely takes itself more seriously than the first, which i think is very good for it. it also has a LOT more going on, goddamn. from the get-go we've got Ao Bing fucking DYING AGAIN, Ao Guang giving them an ultimatum or hes blasting Chentang Pass to bits, training montage with plany off jokes, gut-wrenching Nezha's brothers scene that was preceded by Deer guy's incomprehensible targeted racism to the dragons—

(seriously, he sounds like he has a vendetta against them for no logical reason. like Doylistically its obviously just to make Nezha/Ao Bing/Taiyi uncomfortable and angry at the injustice, but Watsonianwise it just reads like he very specifically dislikes the dragons? which may make sense if they are considered a major enemy of the demon hunters, but theyre just... not. theyve literally been chilling for years (ok to be fair we dont know this for sure but it definitely comes across like that, with the way Ao Guang places his hopes and expectations on Ao Bing (as the third son) to finally save the dragons' reputation)

i guess it could make sense with his reveal of being a deer demon so maybe dragons helped defeat their kind (??? though all the demons the dragons are shown to be suppressing seem very oceany) but it really just felt so out of left field. regardless of reason, its still a strange outburst from someone who has acted quite dignified the rest of the time. does he just have a very strong grudge. thats fair, but still feels random. especially because the rest of the Immortals clearly do not think this is as serious a problem. like youd think they would be more pressed than the demon who bought into their rhetoric but okay! well i suppose thats also possible... the pick-me minority who is a stricter cop to prove theres worse ones out there and theyre the good one right haha)

which reminds me i actually did not really SEE the immortals/demons, oppressor/oppressed allusions until i read this meta. i mean like, i did, but only the oppressed side. like yeah theyre unfairly discriminated against for their birth and theyre lich rally trying so hard to get on their oppressors' good side (trying to become xian) and failing (the sect was always planning to siege their village) but i did not really SEE Heaven as active oppressors. like, as a whole. till now im still interpreting this as Wuliang specifically just being a bad egg, because the rest of the Immortals have not been shown to be anything like him, or as bad as him (granted we only meet them for a short time, but just goes to show how readily i accept that the establishment is inherently good lmfao... i suppose we'll find out in Nezha 3 if theyre all racist too :) which would fit the themes way better if they did, honestly) edit from the future: not oomf telling me its obvious i dont watch any wuxia because i did not see the Heaven=oppressors allusion 😭😭😭

btw what the fuck is the Deity War or whatever. like they keep saying that shits coming but did they ever actually explain what thats about lol. and ughhhhh i just knowwww the Jinzha Muzha shit in the 3rd movie is going to be soooo much and also why the fuck did they just drop Ao Bing having two brothers as well but theyre dead or some shit. i mean its to show that he understands Nezha's pain, but thats all we get!? like youre just gonna leave it there like is Ao Bing just Ao Guang's 3rd try at this "appeasing Heaven" plan (in which case, nice, dude, no wonder your siblings double-cross you instantly) or did they just die completely unrelatedly like bro we cannot rely on the original legend because (according to Wikipedia) Ao Bing's character is radically different from the original story (a villain) so WHO ARE THEYYYYY. but fine sure maybe theyll elaborate in the 3rd movie...

bro i cannot stay on topic to save my life where the hell was i. oh yeah i was actually planning to add one more note which was i actually cannot fucking remember the Deer and Crane's names. like i thought the subs said Deera and Crana for some reason, but i cant find anyone online talking about it lol.

um right then weve got Shen Gongbao's family which was... yeah heartbreaking honestly. really kills me that Ao Bing kept holding onto Zhengdao's hand for so long that Xiaobao, who took a WHILE to reach the scene, managed to catch him holding it. but i guess he cant really just... drop it... so i dont really blame him. its just an unfortunate coincidence all around but thatssss how we get plot rolling! i was just like ohhhh nooooo Shen Gongbao's gonna be pisseddd and Ao Guang told them to follow his orders oh nooooo

also it wasnt really clear like... why Xiaobao rushed back. iirc what happened was his dad used the rainmaking spell, and Xiaobao perceives that as a sign that something is wrong, but this isnt really explained? i think the demon hunters also get a bit !!! when that happens? and Taiyi wanted to pull Ao Bing out at that point (i might be misremembering when he has this urge lol, couldve been before Ao Bing froze the river) so it seems like a last resort move.

i suppose since his power is teleporting between electric currents in the water, making it rain could be a sign that he has to turn the battlefield in his favour, and either 1. the demon hunters think this is not something he should be able to do (as in, they want to keep him weak), or 2. its a spell that he is literally like, legally not allowed to use, but desperate times call for desperate measures. is it really desperate though. its just a xian wannabe beating his ass... well, pride is a helluva drug. OKAY no he probably did feel like he was defending his village. see up to this point i:

actually thought these were like. deadass constructed test grounds for the xian trials. obviously this isnt the case because after Ao Bing defeats the groundhog marmot (interesting, i did not know that meme was a marmot. or what a marmot even was. i was honestly losing it in the theatre and i could feel my mom sitting there impassively because she doesnt know the meme LMAO) leader they all swarm in to capture them.

so the trials arent like, designed specifically for candidates but just, "bring them along on their usual demon hunting route and let them have a go." which to be very fair, i think they did say that. but the way they all watched from afar and it looked like a goddamn set piece for a film crew really gave that vibe, so i at first really just thought "ok Nezha is just joining some class" and that was the trial lol. but no he was actually supposed to fight Shen Zhengdao.

very unfortunate and then bambambam Chentang Pass is completely obliterated, wow. tbh i was not very believing at this point i was like yeah no im sure they found some way to survive and then the yaksha appeared out of the rubble and i was like OH YOUUUU YOU ARE HERE FOR THIS EXACT REASON.

of course we later find out that Gongbao did not decide to kill the entire village over this, but that Wuliang appeared (??? for some reason i cant remember why he decided to pay a visit) and was like damn son what the hells goin on here. Ao Run mentions the Spirit Pearl and Demon Pill swap (and deadass this doesnt get elaborated upon so Wuliang's actions are not a result of knowing the switch) and Gongbao accuses him of orchestrating this attack because he knows that Nezha was supposed to do those demonhunting trials... (very sad that Xiaobao dies without knowing Nezha/Ao Bing were innocent in all this)

and Wuliang's like ohh too bad so sad anyway you guys are like one step away from destroying this place? and offers to free them in exchange for scapegoating Ao Guang as the evil dragon king who destroyed an innocent town. and theyre like lol yea sure lets do it

Gongbao making a last stand when he couldve survived with the yakshas help was also so damn touching. as this fantastic meta says, Gongbao's backstory reveal in this movie really reframes him from a villain to someone more sympathetic, who isnt just powerhungry but also a filial son and brother (and we Chinese love our filial piety dont we). and now that his family is dead there isnt a point in trying to ascend to godhood, so he throws himself into a frankly doomed and already-finished battle.

and then we later find out he survived; maybe Wuliang foresaw using him (since he wouldve presumably already have kept Zhengdao alive by that point. oh did he go find Gongbao specifically to use his fathers death over him?!) and saved him or at least mustve whisked his body away. excellent excellent. moving on

so Nezha goes ballistic unable to find his parents and heads off to finish the third trial and become xian. gets the elixir to revive the lotus (which... okay... i cant not say it... it looks like... milk :) right... just milk... hahaha.......) and shoots off to go fuck up Ao Guang. Ao Bing wants to stop him but Taiyi is like you cant do ANYTHING until you have a body anyway so please sit your ass down.

then by this point Wuliang has gotten ready to start cookin (demons and dragons into immortality pills) and Nezha and Ao Guang are pingponging off each other until Taiyi, his parents, and Ao Bing arrive, redirecting Nezha and Ao Guang's hostility to Wuliang. then the epic Nezha/Ao Bing vs the three dragon kings battle kicks off (of whom Ao Run is truly the only formidable one seriously theyre all like "oooh Ao Run has this SPECIAL CLAW that can create rifts in space" what the fuck do the other dragons have??? absolute fuck all!!). ngl im not sure they would be more powerful as human(oid)s than dragons but we wouldnt get an epic fight sequence otherwise, so, fair enough.

the part where Ao Bing and i dont remember which dragon king, the thin one, their weapons are glued together by Ao Bing's bing and they have to fuckin juggle Nezha's spear was quite cool though i really do think they couldve had an easier time just breaking the ice and fighting normally. but yes kings show off your footwork! (and it is more visually interesting, i admit)

and i was so expecting a scene where Ao Run redirects one of their attacks into each other. thank you Homestuck for making that teleportation/rift-in-space tactic live in my head rent free. honestly she... probably couldve solo'd them like she just has to send them to the bottom of the lava pit or something LOL. but yes that wouldnt be very fun...

oh and this whole time Nezha's parents, Tianyi, and Ao Guang are fighting the Deer and Crane demons (i wont lie i thought Crane's power reveal was super awesome), until finally they all get stuffed into the big OMMMMMMMMM cauldron (dgmw it was an epic sound effect. but once it plays more than three times, it starts to lose its lustre...) oh and Wuliang literally sticks pins and needles into Nezha and Ao Bing's bodies which was pretty fucking horrifying. but also, visually, kind of funny that theyre stuck A-posing for a while. i mean i know theyre in excruciating pain, sorry guys, sorry.

honestly when they got fucking thrown in i really thought they could solve shit by just. picking them up and bringing them together so they could utilise the energy/power-absorption abilities of the Chaos Pearl, but uh i guess no one thought about that! despite the fact that thats literally the whole reason they split apart the Spirit Pearl and Demon Pill in the first place cuz it was tooo powerful! (i mean they do it later but maybe we couldve *sniff* done it a little quicker *sniff* and prevented Yin's death)

ugh the whole scene with Nezha and his mom was heartrending. the hug in the beginning not being returned so she hugs him now, when its going to pierce her so horribly, her being the first to believe in him ever since his birth (dont forget she had to carry a fetus for THREE WHOLE YEARS BTW), just being a Loving Mother in general... then Wuliang offers Nezha the Oblivion Pill in exchange for letting his parents live (okay so in retrospect this is a pill that erases memories and presumably Wuliang would employ him as a servant afterwards? but while watching i had no idea what it was supposed to be lmfao. i was just like okay. it has the colours of the Chaos Pearl. what does that mean.)

but Yin knocks it away, Nezha and his parents have a breakdown over not wanting the other to die for them and then his mom deadass just FUCKING TURNS INTO A PILL. i cannot believe thats how the pill formation works but it is comically horrible. eat it and your mom will be with you forever, Nezha!

so that was really sad, but i could not help but think ahhhhhh the "mom sacrificing themselves/dying for their children" trope strikes again! and a woman dying for a man's character advancement! like it was incredibly incredibly sad and i cried, but i was still keenly aware of that in my head lol, as someone who has read a bunch of Lily Evans meta recently...

like i know it can be WAY more gut-wrenching to have the mom die. its a trope for a reason. but they already subverted things with her being a general, couldnt they have had the dad die maybe... it couldve made for an interesting Nezha/mom Ao Bing/dad parallel afterwards but okayyy fine. side note this film does not pass the Bechdel test, does it. which is not a real test it was just a joke between two lesbians but well... we can see the lack of women here.

Nezha's body being perfected by the fires of Samadhi was cool as fuck though. especially since they literally hinted it not two minutes ago with "hes the only one who wont burn in here" lol. bishounen Nezha woohoo!!! grabs Ao Bing's hand and everyone pushes the cauldron open a la Finding Nemo fish net scene.

and—i mentioned this at the start but the fucking TREE thing, with the demon hunter legion forming the golden leaves of the tree, was fucking beautiful. really shows off the scale of things. then the cauldron breaks and they have the big fight in the air, Oubing go beat the shit out of Wuliang and do their handholding energy absorption inside his tree prison thing (nice going dude, maybe instead of crushing them together you should have held them separately?)

Wuliang admits defeat and leaves, and i immediately thought "oh my god we are getting a 3rd movie. or are they gonna wrap things up real quick i cant tell if its been 2 hours already" and then. oh my goddd. the final scene, Ao Bing leaving and Ao Guang telling him he can go back if he wants and they hug ARHGHGHGGHHH. and he comes back to Nezha (edit: AFTER NEARLY THE WHOLE DAY HAS PASSED BTW, someone pointed out the sun is in the sky when he leaves and is setting when he comes back. Nezha really waited there for hoursss 😭) and Nezha says his "because we're still young" YES! YES!! flipping a phrase that is usually used in a "youre so young of course you dont realise that life is cruel and thats just how it is" and turning it into YEAH SO WHAT??? we're young and not yet beaten down by the hardships of life. why does it have to be so cruel? why cant we make things BETTER? YEAHHH!!!!!!

also the ink painting credits was pretty until they DELIBERATELY put the Nezha/Yin hug back-to-back with the Ao Bing/Ao Guang hug like OKAY JUST FUCKING KILL ME WHY DONT YOU??????

and the post-credits (its really funny that they made drawings to specifically remind you to stay for post-credits. why the hell were people getting up to leave during the credits BRO THEY SAID THERES POST-CREDITS?????) with Wuliang getting trapped in the prison was really fucking funny. face recognition joke just like Nezha 1's fingerprint authentication joke (i do like it when fantasy media includes references to modern technology. like yeah, some of this stuff would sound magical to someone from that age?) and Deer and Crane beating the fuck outta him was the funniest thing in the whole movie to me. though on a deeper note i wonder how Deer and Crane really feel about Wuliang. it could just be for laffs... it could also show that they do have some compunctions about their roles...

PERSONAL NOTES

tbh didnt know what to name this section the entire meta/review is my opinion after all. anyway this part is just about how i came to know/watch the films.

i remember when Nezha 1 came out in 2019. there was another Nezha movie that came out alongside it, which i only remembered as Nezha: somethingsomethingsomething (it's New Gods: Nezha Reborn lol) and i remembered hearing that one of the Nezhas was really good and one kinda meh. but i had no idea which was which. so i just shelved it for the future.

then bam. Nezha 2 out. is it that good? whatever. i still dont know which was the good one. its the fucking ALL TIME BESTSELLING ANIMATED MOVIE????? goddamn! my parents started talking about watching it. we checked Netflix, they had a Nezha film but my dad said it was the wrong one.

skimmed over some clips and pics of Nezha 1 and i literally only saw clips of kid Nezha (which makes sense, he is a kid for 80% of the movie), and mostly gag clips so i thought oh its a kids movie or something? and i did not have high hopes for Chinese animated kids movies after Little Door Gods disappointed me so hard.

my parents were still asking to watch it. i was still putting it off by saying "well we have to watch the first one so we have to figure out where to pirate or stream it." then i saw some fanart online of Ao Run and i was—i was like theres girls in this film? theres characters that arent the little kid??? incredible because that person actually drew Ao Bing right there and i did not give him a second glance. but now i love him lol.

and then we watched Nezha 1 on some Chinese streaming service that would play ads, like, every 5 minutes. granted, the 'basic' premium we paid for allowed us to SKIP the ads, but they would still play like fucking youtube ads. fucking insufferable, i hate capitalism. anyway i was like ohhh!! because Ao Bing was really cool, and i was like "no one told me theres a PRETTY BOY in this film???"

then Nezha also turned into a pretty boy. i was like DAWG OKAY WHAT???? (ironically i wouldve known this or expected it if id bothered to look up the poster which just has him. right there. but instead i got entirely jumpscared)

then he turns back to a kid at the end. okay. THEN IN NEZHA 2 HE TURNS INTO HIS BISHOUNEN FORM AGAIN, SLAY, AND DOESNT CHANGE BACK. therefore i would like to say this represents the movie moving past the 'kids comedy' genre and onto more serious pastures and the 3rd movie will probably have even less jokes. just kidding they probably will have the same amount of jokes as the 2nd, it was an alright balance.

also. i dont actually know a lot of Chinese mythology, like, ive never read the books or legends or anything. so when Nezha got his ribbon, and the gold bangle(?) goes onto his wrist, i did not recognise it from knowing my own culture. i recognised it from a dont starve together mod i played ages ago.

my final note is: im honestly scared for Nezha to get popular in English-speaking spaces, because Oubing, and i just know some dense mfs are gonna be like "HES A KID???" (i mean ive already seen some Tiktok caption going like "ummm they have a BROTHERLY relationship akshually" like girl 1. most people are shipping their bishounen selves 2. theyre both three fucking years old 3. just close your eyes

thank you for coming to my ted talk.

I hate getting asked the question,

"Do you have any recommendations for fanfiction blogs to follow?"

No, I don't read other people's fanfictions, so I wouldn't know 😅

I used to read FF a lot, years ago when I was a teenager. But i've grown very particular, and I'm very OCPD in a way when it comes to content. I'd rather write and read my own because I know what I like and what I HC, and I'm in control of it.

I feel like if you're just an avid reader, you can accept all forms of different HC's.

But when you start creating things yourself, you get attached to your HC's, and if something ISNT your HC, you don't like it, and that's absolutely fine by the way! Everyone has their own HC's and tastes, and it doesn't HAVE to be liked, but it should be left alone if you don't like it. You should stay away from it if it's not your thing, which is what I do, I filter my tags, I dont look at my 'For You' page, I only see blogs I follow, none of which are fanfiction blogs, which I why I don't consume other peoples fanfictions. There's nothing actually WRONG with other people's writing, its THEIRS, and thats what matters. It's just not for me, because I'm not in control of it.

I feel like a lot of writers FEEL like this. But nobody says it

Eldritch bitty: SwapFell Papyrus

SwapFell Papyrus Eldritch bitty

Name: Terapiki(T-air-ah-p-ee-k-ee)

Size: 3-7 inches tall(Micro) 9-10 inches tall(Mini), 2-4 feet tall(Fullsized), 10-20 feet tall(Bara), 24-30 feet tall(Mega), 40-60 feet tall(Cosmic),

Personality: Affectionate, active, friendly,

Likes: People. bitties, playing, toys, watching tv, being read to, being around others, water, swimming,

Dislikes: being out of water to long, being alone to long, being bored,

Compatibility: They are playful bitties, which is all fine and good till they scare someone because they nip at them- everyone assumes they want to hurt them with their spikey feet- but they dont even eat meat lol,

They are active and need a good amount of entrenchment, but no more than say, an Inusune bitty or a 'normal pet' like a cat or dog, and if bored they will often find things to entertain themselves, but luckily they can be easily entertained by some tv and/or something to chew on!

They're oddly friendly bitties, as in the wild they never have to worry about danger(the perks of being related to bigger and scarier bitties lol) so they are super affectionate and cuddly with their caretakers! And other bitties, and dont exactly know stranger danger- though if one isnt super friendly and cuddly they're either a rescue, or being abused, so its easy to tell what kind of person someone is based on their Terapiki

They love playing in water! and do actually need to sleep in water too, as well as enough water they can be completely submerged in throughout the day, they need the moister in their body to make sure they dont get dry skin, though they can breath both air and water(though they prefer to breath air- thats usually where the other bitties/people are after all lol)

Feeding habits: They're semi omnivorous, mostly eating plants, mushrooms, and nuts, though they will sometimes gnaw on a bone, but they do so for calcium and enrichment!

They can break through bones sure, but they dont actually like the taste of meat anyway, so they usually just want to lick out the marrow and use the bone as a chew toy,

Additional info: They are semi aquatic! they prefer the water and need a good amount of water to be in, enough for a little over their height at the shallowest, deeper if possible,

Zone: Ocean, Swamp, Lake, Jungle,

In Universe: They are seen as amazing bitties to keep around! And are often referred to as 'Water puppies' affectionately

Difficulty: Beginner - Basic

Features:

Main colors: Purples and blacks

Secondary colors: Purples and blacks

the way people act like the people youre sexually attracted to is some sort of praxis is really annoying for a lot of reasons! because like, yeah, when people say that a whole marginalized group isnt hot, its usually informed by some sort of bigotry, either implicit or explicit. are black women not hot, or have you just decided that every black woman looks and acts the same, and that anything outside of eurocentric beauty standards is "ugly"? would you actually hate dating a fat man, or have you just made a lot of assumptions about what kind of person they must be because of their body, and decided that was at odds with your own interests? you say you wouldnt date a trans woman because you "dont like men" and you're "not interested in penises", but youre just assuming that every trans woman is just a cis man in a dress, which is absolutely not true! OBVIOUSLY prejudice influences peoples attraction

but also like... you cant frame it as a direct expression of someones morals. some parts of what you're attracted to will change throughout your life, but a lot of it is baked in and cant really be changed, even if you might want it to! i mean, thats why conversion therapy demonstrably doesnt work. if youre a person who is really into. idk. vore or bdsm or redheads. even if you decide that actually thats immoral to be into, you're not really gonna be able to stop being attracted to it because sexual attraction isn't really something you get to sit down and CHOOSE. if youre not into anthro animals, theres no amount of sitting down and working on yourself that will convince you to start getting a boner at furry porn.

and then theres the obvious other problem, that being attracted to certain qualities or traits or demographics doesnt even mean that you actually have their best intetests at heart? racists date POC. fatphobes date fat people. misogynists date women all the fucking time!!!!!

i think your tastes are heavily influenced by your environment and your values, obviously, but you cant act like its a pure expression of your values. personally, as a fat person, i dont like people saying that not being attracted to my body is solely because of prejudice you need to unlearn. being attracted to my body isn't homework! it's not vegetables! it's not a thing you need to start doing because its Good For You whether or not you enjoy it! if you dont like my body, thats fine. the thing thats fatphobic is if you TELL ME that you think all fat people are unattractive, even though nobody asked what you thought, and we were talking about me specifically and not all fat people en masse. you can find me unattractive without being a fatphobe. the problem lies in using your lack of attraction to me as an explanation for why youre a fatphobe, or using it as a criticism of me personally. like you not being attracted to me is something i need to change about myself

anyway the actual point i wanted to make was that the worst part of this kind of rhetoric is that it makes it really hard to hornypost without people acting like im advocating for specific actions people MUST take about their own bodies :/ I'll be like "i think transfems with deep voices and who dont really pass well are incredibly sexy" and people will crawl out of the woodwork to be like "oh you think its WRONG for transfems to pass?? you think it's IMMORAL for them to do voice training? you think none of them should EVER get FFS or laser hair removal?????" like... no! i never said any of that shit! just because i think something is hot doesnt mean i think its wrong and bad to not do it. not everyone should make all their decisions based on what i think is hot. no one should, in fact. just because i think its cute when people have crooked teeth doesn't mean i want to criminalize braces. doesnt even mean that i dont think people who have straight teeth are hot. please just let me be horny in peace 😭😭😭

#anime life #people shouldnt make decisions based on what i think is hot because that would be weird #and that would be giving me way too much power and influence over your lives #just because i think mildred thoughtslime is a 10/10 babe

Cooking show concept:

its a well known fact that too many cooks spoil the broth, so we can make a 2x2 grid relating "quality of broth" with "presence of cook" and it would look something like this:

. | No Cook A | Cook A

No Cook B | Bad | Good

. Cook B | Good | Bad

with no cooks, the broth is never made, so its bad, with just cook A or just cook B we get a good broth, but with two cooks the broth is spoiled, everyone knows this

now anyone whose familiar with logic gates probably noticed that this is an XOR gate!..

which begs the question, how do we convert a good broth into the presence of a cook in a later XOR gate, since this would allow us to chain logic gates

the obvious solution: Gordon Ramsay.

Gordon Ramsay tastes the broth, and if the broth is good, the cook moves onto the next round, if the broth is spoiled, no cooks move on (ofc regardless of the lack of a good broth, no cooks move on when there *are* no cooks)

unfortunately, just XOR gates arent enough for turing completeness, which is of course the goal here, so what else can we construct?

well first of all, you can make a NOT gate by just having a cook in the XOR kitchen already, so now we just need to find either an AND, OR, NAND, or NOR and we can construct everything we need using De Morgan's laws

thankfully, this is already a solved problem, Regular Cooking Shows!

if no cooks enter the kitchen, noone leaves, if theres any amount of cooks, theres always exactly one winner! this is an OR gate! We can of course reuse Gordon Ramsay for this

(note that an "implicit OR" by just letting all cooks through would "overload" later XOR gates, spoiling the broths)

now the obvious issue with this is that the kitchens cannot reused, since cooks are left behind or exit permanently, but this is fine as long as logic is purely sequential

sequential logic *is* a lot easier to deal with though, and it actually helps solve another issue - the fact that a NOT gate cook could finish cooking their broth before another cook comes in to spoil it... the solution...... Gordon Ramsay!

we give him a list of kitchens to judge one by one, and thats the order the logic gates are evaluated in, since its sequential this naturally leads to the idea of defining our logic in the same order its evaluated in, something like:

0. OR -> 2

1. XOR -> 2

2. OR -> 3

3. NOT -> out

where NOT is built as an XOR kitchen with a cook already there

so following this notation here, we would build an OR and XOR kitchen connecting to a 2nd OR kitchen, then connect the exit of that kitchen to a NOT kitchen, then the exit of that is our output, then to run the cooking show we tell Gordon Ramsay to judge the OR kitchen, then the XOR kitchen, then the 2nd OR, then the NOT!

the eagle eyed reader, however, may have noticed that this is pretty impractical...- since we cant have one kitchen output to more than one other!.. this would mean we need to duplicate all our inputs and logic at every split, which would be a pain!!!

so we want something where when a cook completes one challenge, a separate cook is allowed into a later challenge...

luckily, the solution is another cooking competition! consider this:

the kitchen is split in two with a divider, with holes for passing of ingredients, each half of the kitchen has an incomplete set of ingredients, and in the other half there is a pre-existing cook

if no cook enters the empty half, the other cook wont be able to beat the challenge, so wont be allowed through when Gordon Ramsay judges them - if the cook does enter, then both cooks win, and their respective doors open

this challenge also doubles as an AND gate if you only let one of the cooks out and have both cooks as inputs instead of having one there already!

interestingly, both the AND and OR kitchens generalise nicely to more than 2 inputs, for OR you just add more contestants, for AND you add more dividing walls

XOR generalises as only true if theres exactly one cook, but there isnt really a set way XOR is supposed to generalise

this does help simplify our notation, as we dont need to confirm that there are only 2 inputs to each kitchen

so now with all of that established, i present a full adder:

0. A -> 3 (input)

1. B -> 4 (input)

2. C_in -> 5 (input)

3. SPLIT -> 6,10

4. SPLIT -> 6,10

5. SPLIT -> 8,9

6. XOR -> 7

7. SPLIT -> 8,9

8. XOR -> S (output)

9. AND -> 11

10. AND -> 11

11. OR -> C_out (output)

like earlier NOT is built as an XOR kitchen with a pre-existing cook, SPLIT is likewise an AND kitchen with a pre-existing cook for each additional output

this means we can count the total number of cooks we need, there arent actually any NOT kitchens, but we do have 4 SPLITs, with 2 outputs each, so thats 4 cooks, and then theres at most 3 additional cooks for each of our inputs, so let's say 7 contestants

we can also count the number of rounds (perhaps call them episodes) pretty easily, since its just the number of gates (there is no parralisation) in this case its 9

these two stats would be what you would want to optimise for

given how common SPLIT is, we could simplify our notation for humans at the cost of needing a compilation step by combining the splits into the outputs of gates, like this:

0. A -> 3,6 (input)

1. B -> 3,6 (input)

2. C -> 4,5 (input)

3. XOR -> 4,5

4. XOR -> S (output)

5. AND -> 7

6. AND -> 7

7. OR -> C (output)

but be aware that for this to be a valid cooking show you need to run it through some program first to uncompress the SPLITs

its also worth noting that an AND gate going into a SPLIT is often useless, unless you need to output to more kitchens than the AND gate has inputs, you can just use the inputs to the AND gate as your SPLIT outputs, this reduces how many cooks are needed, and could be included in the compilation (along with shortcuts for NAND, NOR ofc)

none of the cooks in the cooking show need to know the layout of the circuit for it to work, and neither does Gordon Ramsay

~The Producers~ just need to give him the list of what kitchens to judge in what order - the layout and challenge type of the kitchens and the doors control the flow!

so uuh... if you ever have a lot of kitchens and a lot of cooks and a Gordon Ramsay, now you know what to do?

Their Sweet Poison

Summary: "I know whoever is reading this is asking about me in this story but let me tell you who i am. My names Erica LaRosa. Im a complex girl with unique skills which you gonna find out here along how i ended up in Hell reuniting with an old friend of mine. Then theres a guy named Valentino who will not " Bang! "Babycakes! Your Big Daddy's here! Where are you?" said Valentino in the other room. "Fuck me! Gotta go." said Erica escaping to the window. She looked at the reader pointing her claw finger at them with her on the window sill. "You fucks didnt see me." she says before jumping out as the door opened.

Ch5

? POV

Pain. Was all i remembered before i found myself in a new place that only can be seen as a nightmare when i see demons that i never seen or heard before. Not to mention the fucking pentagram in the red sky and a sun that glows white or whatever. I wasn't paying too much attention after i almost got ran fucking over in the middle of the street that i woke up in. Looking around for anyone that looked who can help me until my eyes landed on my reflection catching me completely off guard. My iris turned from light brown to red cat eyes with my sclera black even body kinda change too. my smooth light peach skin turned to a very light grey short fur with horns and had a fluffy cat tail that matched my black ombre grey hair. The only that remained the same was my figure including my huge ass that i got from my grandma which can sometimes be a pain when i comes to pervs or going through doors depending on the size. I started walking down the block seeing demons killing, selling drugs, or something that normally doesnt happen in Los Angeles until i felt a hard smack on my ass making me turn around to see a large lizard demon with a biker like outfit by the black tank top and matching baggy pants with chains making his red scars? and tattoos stand out. "What fine piece of ass doing alone?" said the lizard demon. "Not sleeping with you thats for sure after you smacked my ass." said the young woman. "Hey its not my fault that your booty is juicy looking." said the lizard demon towering over her figure. "Mind if i have a taste of that." he says. "If only you can still feel this." said the woman ramming her foot between his legs and ran off. "YOU FUCKING BITCH!" the lizard demon yelled while the woman kept on running until she was far away to loose him and catch her breathe. "If Erica was here wouldve thought i was a nut." said the woman then looked at a large sign making her pale. "Oh no. This isnt a fucked up dream. im literally in hell." said the woman. "You certainly right about that one." said a voice on her left. the woman looked to see a blonde with rosy cheeks pale skin an wore a red fitted suit walking over to her with a friendly smile. "Welcome to Hell. I'm Charlie Morningstar. Princess of Hell and founder of the Hazbin Hotel where demons an sinner such as yourself can find redemption." said the blonde. "Denise. And you want to redeem demons?" said Denise looking at her. "Of course. Everyone makes mistakes but can be given second chances. Wanna see the Hotel? If youre interested." said Charlie. "If it gets me somewhere safe then okay." said Denise. "Really?! Great then come with me." said Charlie. I walked with Charlie and talked to her to keep my min off the demons an other things that were happening even her talking about Extermination Day really freaked me out. Like you dont want to die again an with the hotel like hers should could be the chance of survival. I mean its worth a shot right?

We got to the hotel which looked weird with the ship and radio station standing out from most of the hotel before going inside. I saw it was very nice even had a bar with Charlie standing with mile admiring the way i was checking the place out. "So what o you think?" said Charlie looking at me. "Charlie, where have you been?" said a new voice. A woman with long hair came over covering her eye with a large pink x wearing a bow an grey an light purplish dress seeing me then looked at Charlie. "Who's she?" said the woman. "Vaggie meet Denise. She's new here in Hell. I found her running away from a guy and went to see if she was okay which i hope didnt creep you out." said Charlie looking at me. "No. Not at all I just dont like pervs who look at my body especially my huge ass." said Denise. "I notice but didnt want to be rude since our bodies are different. Anyway Vaggie is the manager an have three other staff members who should be around here." said Charlie. "Aare you going to checking?" said Vaggie. "It seems okay but I doubt i can be redeemed for the shit me and my sister did together." said Denise. "Then let me go get the book to check you in an get you a key to your room." said Vaggie going to the front desk. "Oh heres one of our employees. Husk is our bartender." said Charlie seeing the cat demon with wings. Husk looked at Denise as he kept on walking to his bar to clean the glass an looked at Vaggie who held up a clipboard and a key. "Just write your name an we can take you to your room." said Vaggie. "So is there anyone else besides me?" sai Denise writing own her information. "Theres Erica an Angel Dust. Theyre both very nice once you get to know them but just a heads up on those two." said Charlie. "Angel is a pornstar who will literally flirt with anyone an can be a pain in the ass." said Vaggie looking at the paper that Denise finished filling out. "Like Husk cant drooling over how huge my ass is. Which is real by the way." said Denise. "Erica is okay but has attitude issues that you need to get used to." said Charlie hearing two voices coming in. "MOVE BITCH!" said a voice behind Denise.

Denise turned around seeing a spider demon almost fall to the floor with a demon who looked familiar to her running at her. "Are we missing something?" said Vaggie seeing the demon hug Denise. "Erica? Do you know who she is?" said Charlie once Erica pulled away. "Sorry. Everyone. This is my sister Denise. What got you down here?" said Erica. "Wait a minute? When you said your sister had a huge ass. You werent fucking around." said the spider demon walking over checking Denise out. "Yeah and she's off limits." said Erica. "Denise. This is Angel Dust. The slut." said Erica. "Hey. Question. Did you seriously get blown to pieces by Artie?" said Denise looking at her. "Yeah and he's here down here too." said Erica. "Well since you are sisters. I can let you two be and catch up." said Charlie walking away with Vaggie. "So what got you own here?" said Erica looking at Denise. All i di was get into a fist fight with some girl accusing me of seducing her man that was fixing my garbage disposal to my apartment. I just giving her all i got even sitting on op of her then felt a sharp in my throat and ended up here." said Denise. "Why dont we finish our chat in my room? i think Husk is getting hard from looking at you." said Angel whispering the last to the girls. The three went in the elevator to the floor Angel is in an walked to his room. "Make yourself comfy." said Angel laying on his bed with his pig Fat Nuggets. "Nice room. So is there anything i should know about hell besides Extermination Day?" said Denise sitting on the edge of the bed. "Yeah. Dont fuck with Alastor the Radio Demon or make a deal with him. He's the designer of the hotel and can get along everyone is he wants to. Also stay away from Valentino who is Anthony's boss." said Erica sitting on the chair of the vanity. "Your real name is Anthony?" said Denise. "Only if we are alone. Besides Valentino can get violent if he doesn't what or Who he wants?" said Angel looking at Erica. "Which is another reason i fucking hate him." said Erica rolling her eyes. "Noted. How is Hell so far?" said Denise. "Meh. Not that much different back home but i can get you a job with me at Ozzie's." said Erica. "She's a very likable waitress for her bitchy attitude and cleans around closing time at night." said Angel. "Not bad of payment and you never believe the shit i find and get to keep." said Erica looking at Denise. She and Angel told her more bout hell an each rings along with some help tips to survive at any situations.

a gods confusion

(/1)

by: J

(help this is just about lopt plates and jirou being grossed out by it)

6 in the morning, not much was on the docket, the only reason jirou was up at this time anyways was because he had online classes, well just one, who decided to host a class about sewing at 6 am anyways? more importantly why would jirou join. winter classes were always hardest, it was too cold to get out of bed and everyone takes the evening classes more than in the summer, but just one class at 6 am wasnt the end of the world. it spanned for an hour, giving a ten minute break in the middle, some people worked on what they were taught, or used the bathroom or got something to eat. jirou prefered to use the bathroom and continue whatever he was working on, to not lose focus. 6:35, he came out of the bathroom, he noticed that lopt was chewing on something that had a… less than pleasant sound. Not wanting to miss class for the 5th time already, he mentally made a note to ask lopt. thankfully, the last 20 minutes went mostly smooth, since it was only the beginning of the semester, it was just mostly about how to get your ideas onto paper and whatnot. Jirou, as much as he wishes he wouldve, didnt pay much attention, his grades were mostly fine, granted a few c’s and d’s in math but over all a’s and b’s so he didnt hwve to worru about grades that much, jusy missing classes. He walked out of his room to see lopt watching some news station called “fox news”. he was aware that was an american “news” station, how the hell did they get that in japan? “hey” “oh youre done with your class already? what do you want me to tuck you back into bed?” lopt replied, with a vague british accent, lopt isnt british. “i, wha, no, i meant to ask you something” he said, vaguely confused. “which would be..?” “what the hell were you eating earlier, it sounded disgusting” “huh? what do you mean, oh those white disc thingys?” he sounded as if he were actually confused as to what jirou said. “Uh, i guess? i thought we didnt have much food.. and i know mostly what we keep.” “oh, do you not know the name either?” “i mean no? i guess not??” jirou had literally no fucking idea as to what lopt was talking about “here hold on ill show you” “um alright?” lopt walked over to the kitchen cabinets before skimming over tiny labels at the bottom, they were in braille, how was he even reading them by looking?

(note, braille because 1. noriko has shit eyesite and its funny to imagine that she basically is blind 2. i have a parasite in my brain that makes me include some part of my life)

he landed on one, the third from the oven. opened it, grabbed whatever the hell he was speaking of and walked back to jirou. “see this!” “lopt.. please dont tell me you were eating that” “huh i was why?” lopt spoke at a rather quick pace, which is just wonderful for someone with auditory processing disorder. (sarcasm) “i, lopt, those are plates, why the hell” “oh, plates huh? they taste bland honestly, maybe they need to be heated up?” he thought to himself aloud “i uh no? lopt youre not supposed to eat those? how do you not know that..” “what do ya mean? ive heard the word but ive never seen one, must be some new day thing” he muttered the last part to himself. “lopt, what i know you know what a plate is, yknow.. a dish? bowl? salver? platter??” “Oh a salver! oh thats what this is wait what why does it look so weird?” “i what? lopt thats how plates have always looked?” “nah what no, salvers dont look like this at all!” “i, i mean maybe not? i why am i still awake, im gonna go sleep goodnight” jirou groaned and walked to his room alone. Lopt, still questioning if he really ate a “salver” decided to look for his phone, of course he had no idea where he put it, for being a god, he was awfully forgetful.

#j writes badly #no beta we die like jirou #i legit had to look up synonyms for plates for this bs

after binge reading i have come to a new revelation: I’m not a fan of most Xiaoven fanfics

Don’t get me wrong, I love the ship and its one of my favorite to think about.... but most of the fanfiction for the ship just- doesn’t sit right with me for a number of reasons.

Disclaimer: these are personal opinions from my own taste and are in no way an attack against any authors out there, because frankly fanfic authors are great and not like i could do better lol. As these are personal opinions, I acknowledge here and now that a number of people disagree and that they are under no obligation to change their opinions in any way as it is not and never will be my intention to tell others what they should be thinking That said- read at your own risk if you want- meh, anyway-

time to share some opinions that have been on my mind lately

The biggest reason.... is how they handle Xiao. And I don’t even mean mischaracterization because Xiao is such a complex and yet simultaneously simple character that as long as you’re somewhere in the range of “Xiao vibes” it’s really hard to write him out of character because of his complexities. What I mean is something that i actually completely agree with as being accurate to his character. In nearly every single fanfic I’ve seen, there is some element of idolization that Xiao has for Venti, or for the sake of reference, Barbatos. He tends to think himself beneath Barbatos and/or indebted to him, whether that be because he’s an archon, because he saved him, or simply because of Xiao’s tendency to dehumanize(yes i see the irony in that word usage) himself. This by itself isn’t an issue but its often how this trait of his is treated.

Imma just list a few ways I’ve seen this be handled within Xiaoven fics. - It isn’t handled, it’s just there and accepted as a part of who he is in the story - It isn’t handled but his trait is treated as source of humor within the story - Venti(and others) roll with it (finding humor in it, just cant change it, encouraging it, making jokes about it, etc.) - Venti takes advantage of it(whether accidentally or purposely) - it’s actually addressed(by Venti or someone else or the narration- can go a number of ways, but just- even a brief reference to the fact that its not a good mindset fits in here) - savior!Venti(Where venti disagrees with it but the way it’s written gives off “god among mortals” vibes- like he’s just being humble and truly is above him in reality) - its the focus of the story - not directly addressed but shown to be destructive. - they chose not to not include this in the story’s characterization of Xiao(just saying that this is valid ahead of time) Theres others but i have a lot already. Note that I tend to read more ‘serious-toned’(idk if that makes sense) fics so that may skew my perception

Now there’s a few that i have issues with on their own- both instances of it not being handled, Venti(and others) rolling with it, Venti takes advantage of it(purposely(and without good intent)), and savior!Venti. Xiao not only has this trait, but he is unfamiliar with what is normal in relationships or emotions as a result of isolation and inexperience. He is also either not aware of or not concerned with what is considered strictly “healthy.” Combining these makes for a rather dangerous combination and just accepting it as “oh he’s just like that, it’s who he is” or making it out to be something funny- It’s not wrong or bad by any means necessarily, and I could still possibly enjoy it to an extent depending on a series of different factors, but its- not as often. Even in the case where I do enjoy reading it however, I would still feel uncomfortable sharing it with or recommending it to others because in the first instance it feels like normalizing a destructive and dangerous mindset, and in the second case it does the same while simultaneously making a joke of it. It’s the same deal with Venti or other characters rolling with it, but that’s probably gonna be mentioned later too. Not to say that this is a “wrong” way to handle it, that it makes the fic bad, or that authors even are normalizing anything by doing so, just that in my specific instance- not a fan.

I’ll get to the others when i talk more about Venti, but for now: It’s the focus of the story. I think I saw like... 2? where the story was like- focused on this and why its a problem which- power to them, address those real world problems like a boss- but also i wouldn’t actively seek it out or anything- like, good job, but doing so just leaves it open neutrally for other factors to decide how good a story i think it is.

not directly addressed but shown to be destructive. You’d think i wouldn’t like this- but frankly in fanfiction not everyone wants to address every character flaw verbally because it can through off story, narration, dialogue, and general flow to do so. This can be with an event, an action, a dialogue, a mere comment, making it actually fit into the it’s actually addressed category except that its- subtle enough to make its own category. plus i live for show not tell- in everything- its a thing. im- very much a fan of when the fics do this but the subtlety is easy to miss and its not common so-

It’s actually adressed- doesnt have to be a lot- just mention anywhere or imply anywhere that maybe idolizing someone as a god and savior and being in a relationship with them while having little knowledge of standards, emotions, relationships, or healthy behaviors in general- maybe isnt the smartest idea in the word. (”Call me Venti, not Barbatos” by itself is not enough to fit in this category tho as a note)

Now lets talk about Venti...

uh.... those who have followed me for awhile will probably already know this but... I have a lot of opinions on Venti and a pretty- “niche(?)” perception of his characterization that isn’t shared by a lot of others- so I don’t actually read as much Venti fanfic in general as you might expect because I often end up disagreeing with how writers portray him, which again, in no way is their characterization wrong, but- “their perceived truth” conflicts with “my perceived truth” and by extent so does the characterization, though neither is any more correct than the other from an objective point of view, if that makes sense... but anyways now that that’s said, moving on before this becomes a philosophy lecture, as fun as that would be for me. I’ll try to keep my “perceived truth” out of this for the first bit.

Venti’s response to this:

He rolls with it: this depends on the mood of the fanfiction. If they dont put a lot of stress on that trait of Xiao’s it totally fine but if the trait seems to be a major part of Xiao’s character, it seems like normalization once more. (more on this later)

he takes advantage of it purposely: if its an AU or something and Venti’s like a villain(i saw a few) then- villain venti isnt my cup of tea but i have no qualms. If they don’t portray Venti in a negative light while having him take advantage however that’s a bit uncomfortable to read for me because it feels like normalizing taking advantage of that mindset as well as the mindset itself. However, i did see a number of instances of Venti using it as leverage for like- self care- which i definitely have no qualms. Xiao: [insert probably destructive idolizing statement about being indebt] Venti: How bout you pay me back by actually sleeping for once smh or other variations are okay and depending on the vibe are actually a really fun dynamic as long as it doesnt turn into romanticizing or normalizing it, y’know?

Venti accidentally taking advantage of it.... I love angst- and in most of these theres a sense of guilt when he realizes- and i just think thats a lovely way of addressing the dangers of such a mindset for both sides. As long as it doesn’t keep repeating to the point of romanticization its totally cool to read in my eyes(not irl ofc). If Venti never realizes he accidentally took or is taking advantage it feels a bit like normalization, and if he does but just- doesn’t care thats- a rip.

savior!Venti...... i- i hate. the story giving off vibes that Xiao’s mindset is technically correct while Venti oh so humbly tells him to treat him as an equal like the wonderful and charitable person he is.... i just- no. of course thats over dramatizing it- I think the main thing that gives it this vibe is when Venti doesn’t seem either concerned, surprised, uncomfortable, or otherwise have a negative feeling towards Xiao’s mindset. Just- it makes the whole thing weird in my eyes when Venti doesnt really seem to have his own reason to oppose the mindset idk-

fact time!

Venti is the god of freedom. His backstory is freeing Mondstadt from a god’s tyrannical reign. His origin is a windsprite, just another breeze bringing changes for the better. His form is a nameless boy who played an instrument and then died, thus failing at his only dream and only ever accomplishing anything because of the help of others. He slept for a thousand years after the archon war to avoid putting Mond under the rule of yet another tyrannical god. He only even became a god because Andrius chose to let him. He wouldn’t have even had that chance if the nameless bard had survived, he’d remain just another wind while his friend ascended to godhood. Venti sacrifices his own power for his people’s freedom.

now that I’ve laid out a number of canon facts, time for opinions:

Venti has little to no desire to be seen as a god. He thrives in, comes from, and emphasizes a lack of superiority in quite nearly everything. The first Ragnvindir, who canonically turned his back on Venti after Decarabian’s fall, likely did so because one- he anticipated power would corrupt and Venti would soon become just another tyrannical god, two- he suspected Venti used the nameless bard in an attempt to rise to godhood, or three- idk insert other possibilities to acknowledge again that i could totally be wrong.

Look me in the eyes and tell me Venti wouldnt trade godhood for his friend in an instant. His godhood was only granted to him because his friend died and could easily serve to constantly remind him of what could have been and what he lost. Venti takes no enjoyment from being seen as superior and in my opinion, I feel that it could actually make him largely uncomfortable when his divinity and abilities as an archon get involved-

also self promotion for my favorite posts- check out #archon war era venti if thats interesting to you

so anyway Venti rolling with it or making jokes about it just doesn’t sit right with me.-

Okay! enough talking about that mindset!

idk- i have... a few/lot of other gripes and stuff or just things that kinda throw off the vibe for me but that’s the main one plus my general personal pickiness when it come to Venti fanfics- but this has gotten long enough already-

idk i just felt like rambling about it and i haven’t done a long post in a while so-

again, I love the ship and its actually one of my favorites- just the fanfic isnt my thing..... that doesn’t mean i don’t still love it and come up with a whole ton of brainrot and ideas on it tho lmao

#genshin impact #genshin xiao #genshin venti #xiaoven #genshin barbatos #opinions #discourse #? idk ill tag it just in case #dont mind my constant backtracking and justifying and repeated disclaimers-#i just have a crippling fear of being cancelled lol

im just saying this to the void, but i think tlovm biggest failing is its sense of comedic timing. Its really really really good and i love it to pieces and die every week for the next episodes, but i cant help but think theyre leaning into the comedy a little too much. Its fine to disagree, everyones tastes are different, but i think the dramatic moments should be allowed to breath, not be cut short by jokes that were timed better in the streams or are too meta to really vibe with the moment.

A good example from episodes 7-9 is the vaxleth confession. I am glad they cut out the kiss, that always felt awkward and dubcon-y, but im not satisfied with keyleth immediately interrupting vax to be like “oh my god, really? Now??” (paraphrasing from memeory). Like, thats vax’s confession!!! Its dramatic!!! Its interesting!!! Without the kiss i think it would a fantastic moment, romantic and emotional during this life or death, climactic fight. But it isnt, which i find disappointing.

There are some other moments that just, dont vibe, i guess. Im not looking anything up, but here are some that i didnt like quite as much. Grog eating’s pike’s ashes in the middle of her first attempt to contact the everlight? Whatever dumb joke someone made in the burned house in ep 1 (i might be misremembering)? Idk i had more but im tired now lol

I would like to emphasize that i fucking love this show with my whole heart and it can and will make me cry at certain scenes (cough cough sun tree) but i guess this is just me wishing they had, like, two minutes longer per episode, so moments could hang in the air longer, but im not a writer idk maybe it works better for some people.

#tlovm #just my thoughts #spoilers #tlovm spoilers #only a bit but still #vox machina #im not a comedian but the timing is just ever so slightly off #or maybe its just that on stream the sense of timing is so distorted that i didnt notice then

Sharing is Caring

Vocal unit + y/n smut

“Sweetie they've heard us one too many times, these walls are pretty thin, not that they're complaining, don't be afraid, one extra person in bed won't make you too loud”

You let the warm breath escape your mouth, speechless.

“You said this would be us time but fine ”

+*+

“Are you sure she'll be okay” Joshua noted clearing his throat.

“Well she thinks she's about to have her first threesome and doesn't know there's 5 of us here so”

“Isnt it too much?..”

“Joshua don't underestimate my girl”

“My bad”

The atmosphere was quiet but the same thrill rushed in all 5 in the room. The vocal unit had neighbouring dorm rooms. However seungkwan had his own room with you since you were his girlfriend and you worked as a stylist under pledis. It was a known fact that the other members in the vocal unit could hear you and seungkwan most nights as you were both quite vocal in bed.

The door knob turned and the door slowly opened.

You walked in wearing a pair of black silk short shorts and a dark blue bralette. You had a robe draped over yourself, concealing yourself slightly but not enough.

“Hey baby I-”

You stalled and looked at all the faces that were glued to you.

“Sweetie I know there's more here than you anticipated but my friends here, you said you wanted to try new things and I was thinking maybe this”

“babe”

“Y/N”

You looked around at the faces you knew so well. Your relationships were innocent and friendly, this was a situation you couldn't have imagined ever.

Seungkwan walked over, leaning in to place a soft kiss on your lips.

“Sweetie it's alright if you don't want to I can tell them to leave ”

“N-No, let them stay”

Seungkwan turns towards the boys giving them hope. Followed by you removing your robe showing your glowy skin, prominent collarbones and a bit of cleavage.

“wow fuck” woozi mutters adjusting his position on his chair, manspreading.

“shes beautiful seungkwan” seokmin blushed.

“tell her that yourself, or show it” he smirked while pushing you on bed.

Your boyfriend was the best and always the sweetest but when it came to “bed time” he was a dom demon and fuck did it turn you on.

Seokmin looked deeply at Seungkwan, slightly questioning him through his eyes.

“You heard me, show my slut the love she deserves”

You sat up by the weight of you arms looking up at your boyfriend and then at seokmin who seemed a bit hesitant.

“Huh? Seokmin don't act like you haven't masturbated to the sound of her moans from your dorm”

Heat flushed straight to your face and core. This situation was unfamiliar and you felt guilt for feeling this kind of way by another man but you couldn't help it.

Seokmin sat beside you on the bed turning to pick you up, placing you on his thighs.

“Babygirl you smell so good”

He pushed your hair to the side of your neck, tucking the remaining strands behind your heated ears. He started sucking purple marks on your neck down to your collarbones reciting some breathy moans from you. His hands travelled your figure, resting on your arms as his thumbs rubbed slow circles into them.

He grabbed you by your chin and tilted it slightly down, inches away from eachother.

“I've wanted to mark you up for ages babygirl, thank you for letting me decorate your beautiful skin”

Before you could reply, his tongue was in your mouth fighting for dominance. His taste was sweet and his rhythm was so good. He left you breathless and needy when he pulled away to look at you.

You seemed to have forgotten your surroundings, enjoying every bit of seokmins affection. Seungkwan came over with a slightly red face. Seokmin moved you off his lap and walked back over to his seat, knowing very well seungkwan was about to do something.

“Sweetie you seemed to enjoy that too much, were you trying to make your boyfriend jealous? Isn't this supposed to be 'us time'?”

You gulped and put you head down unaware of what to say or react.

“Slut look at me or at least reply...fuck this I'll make you respond”

He roughly grabbed you and shoved you on to his thick thighs. Your face was towards him while the others got your backside. Your shorts had rode up exposing your ass, making the others react in all sorts of ways.

Joshua and Jeonghan were the quiet type but watching their members get you more and more riled up really got to them. The grunts and low moans made while they pumped themselves on the nearby chairs were sinful.

“Sweetie why don't you ride my thighs like the good slut you are, this can be a warm up. The boys always heard your reaction to this so show them how you ride my killer thighs”

His voice went down an octave and the teasing foreshadowing words made your core throb.

His hands squeezed your ass tightly, followed by a rough spank. The loudest moan rumbled from inside your chest. The members around hardened and watched in awe, muttering praises.

“Let my dirty slut hear your praise. She's so horny and wet for you all. She acted as if this was something she wasn't up for at the start but she's loving this so much. She likes it when others are watching”

You close your eyes tightly to hide your reaction. His hands shifted from your ass, up your thighs to your waist and pulled you in closer to straddle his lap. You moved your hips slightly, brushing up against his large hardened bulge. A loud whine choked from you from the stimulation of his white jeans against your slick sensitive pussy. Seungkwans hand grabbed a fistful of your hair, grabbing at the roots and pulling your head back so he can leave wet kisses on your new exposed skin.

“Looks like my sluts been marked already. Such a whore”

The throbbing between your legs continued as you hardly grinded on his bulge and thigh, pulling his soft hair which got a moan in response. His moans were like alcohol. Beautiful but made you more and more crazy. It made you want to cum there and then on his thighs.

As you listened to his breathy groans you continued to straddle his muscular thighs, everytime you rutted closer towards his bulge. Your chest rose up and down as you got more and more turned on, proving to be a great view to seungkwan. As you grounded yourself down on his thigh he touched your chest and teased soft kisses everywhere he could reach. One harsh movement and you were arching reaching closer, your chest in his face. He swiftly removed your bralette without restricting you of your movement on his thigh. He tensed his thigh making you yelp even more. His eyes caught contact with yours as he lowered to suck at your nipple, flicking his tongue around your sensitive hardened nipples due to the temperature change.

He switched to your other, sucking gently on your nub, biting down refreshing yet another loud moan from your rose lips. Your face was red from embarrassment at how loud you were but you really couldn't help it you were overwhelmed.

“Sweetie don't be shy, everyone here has heard and wanked to your loud moans and screams before”

“He's right princess” Jeonghan muttered up.

Your hips moved faster against his thigh from the pleasure taking over your body, moans exiting your mouth at a rapid pace.

“Baby im”

“Cum on my thigh like the big slut you are”

“Youre so dirty cumming on your boyfriend's jeans” Woozi said in his deep yet amazed voice.

“Cum for your daddy like a goodgirl” Joshua added.

With all the attention, praise and his firm grip holding your movement harder against his thigh, you let out a cry of pleasure as your orgasm washed over you in waves.

“Thats it sweetie, get use to it this won't be your first ”Seungkwan smirks moving you to lie down to come down.

Seungkwans white jeans had a huge wet stain on the thigh area. All the boys looked like they were struggling to keep themselves together. You put your head down again in embarrassment, the stain was huge and soaked through.

One of the boys stood up from the chair quickly and made there way towards you with dominance.

“Fucking whore leaking making such a mess with that sopping pussy of yours”

You gulped loud unable to hide your arousal for his dominant state. The way he shouted at you made you melt.

“Ill have to teach that pussy of yours a lesson and put you in your place”

“P-pease sir”

“its daddy” he exhaled pulling your silk shorts down to you ankles, allowing you to do the rest and kick them off which ended up flying towards seokmin who wasn't complaining.

Woozis eyes trailed down towards your glistening core. He smirked running a finger over your folds collecting your arousal on his long digit. Without warning he suddenly pumped his finger inside you. You were weak and rested your forehead on his shoulders and you gripped onto the sides on his shoulders. He pumped another two fingers inside your pussy. He curled his fingers inside you, a series of moans screamed past your mouth.

“Spread them legs wide whore I want to taste you so bad”

“Daddy please eat me out I'm begging”

Woozi kneeled before your open legs and licked his lips before licking a long stripe up your pussy. He flicked your throbbing bud with his tongue and groaned against your clit.

“Wow fuck you're just as sweet as I imagined”

You threw your head back as his tongue dived within your folds licking up all your leaking wetness, sucking on your clit harshly. Your legs started to shake from the sensitive contact.

“So wet for me who makes you feel so good whore?”

“d-daddy..” you struggle to speak out as he licked up and down your cunt.

You tried grinding into his tongue to create more friction and that is when he pulled back leaving you empty. Right when your were about to reach the edge he stopped.

“Whore you stained your boyfriend's jeans so I'm not letting you cum just yet.”

You moaned in frustration praising him trying to get him to fulfill your needs and to be touched.

“Daddy please I'll be good I promise”

“You promise”

“Yes I swear”

“Thats a good whore now where was i”

He pushed three fingers inside you with ease because of how wet you had been. He pounded his fingers rapidly in and out of you, curling his fingers slightly hitting the spot that made you moan out heavenly sounds for the others. You came hard on his fingers, your slickness covering his fingers. Once he let you ride out your orgasm he removed his fingers and sucked them infront of you. Your core was absolutely ruined. It was pulsating frantically. He pulled you in for a kiss and you could taste yourself off his lips.

“Whore taste good doesn't she?” he whispers

“My sweetie knows how to put on a show” Seungkwan speaks out taking a look at the other members who seemed to have enjoyed the viewing alot, proof being the various moans and unzipped pants.

“Now sweetie since you're so wet and horny I think you deserve some more from me”

“Seungkwan please”

“Say it sweetie”

“Please I want you to fuck me with you cock and fill me up with your cum please”

“Since you've been so good I suppose I can, boys, prepare yourself, you've yet to hear her most beautiful sounds.”

You lie on your back on the bed, legs ready to be taken by seungkwan and thrown over his shoulders. You didn't need any warming up.

He put his tip and your entrance, his tip hitting your clit making you moan yet again. He inches into you and bottomed out, a moan tearing through your throat as you adjusted to the stretch. His dick was big and though your were his girlfriend you still weren't use to his size. After a few moments he started moving, speeding up his hips. He watched your wet pussy swallow up his whole dick with a smirk plastered on his face. Every time his dick disappeared fully the loudest pleasurable moans emerged from you. You held onto the back of your thighs as seungkwan pounded into you, fast and hitting the right spot. He placed one of your legs down and kept one thrown over his shoulder. He slowly lifted you a little and pounded into you hitting the gspot consecutively without fail. Bliss overtook your body.

“Joshua, Jeonghan come over here I know you've been wanting to get your dick rubbed”

Without hesitation they made their way over and sat on the bed, one on each side of you.

“Y/N flip and cock your ass up for me for me like a good girl”

“Yes Seungkwan”

“And you've got two hands, put them to use sweetie”

You gasp when seungkwan enters you again, showing no mercy and pounding your pussy into oblivion.

You look at joshua and jeonghan and bit your lip. They're both infront of you with their erect cocks standing, red and leaking precum. You use your thumb to smoother their precum from their sensitive tips down their length to make some lubrication. You work your hands on their cocks and slowly pumped into a faster speed making them groan and moan loudly. Jeonghan let out the most beautiful moans, they were so high and desperate yet he sounded so content.

“Princess fuck yes”

“Baby faster” Joshua growled throwing his head back, his adams apple emerging from his neck. He looked so hot. Both of them did. And they were both in your hands. You were in control of their moans and pleasure and it made you feel so good. Seungkwan continued moving in out of you switching up the rhythm.

“Seokmin over now” Seungkwan ordered.

Seokmin got up from his seat zipping up his jeans from previous actions.

“Theres no need to zip that up, sit infront of my sweetie, she'll take care of that mountain, isn't that right sweetie?”

Seungkwan spanks your ass leaving his red hand marks on your cheeks making you moans again.

“Y/N please suck me dry, you don't understand how flustered I got when I found out you were the new stylist in pledis. For our fear comeback when you tailored my pants, your head was down at cock level and I wanted you so bad”

You leave kisses on seokmins chest, becoming familiar with the earlier sexual encounter with seokmin. Everything about Seokmin was so endearing and hot. Your core started throbbing and pulsating. The tightness of your walls on seungkwans girthy cock made him groan in pleasure.

“Fuck Seokmin you're making my girl so tight”

You blush and look up innocently at Seokmins eyes. That fucking killed him. Such dirty actions he'd seen you do all night and you give him puppy eyes when you're down beside his cock your lips he admired so much about to touch his tip.

“I knew don't worry. The bulge in your pants in the performances right after me fitting you shows how you felt”

You swipe your tongue over his slit and took as much of his big member as you could into your mouth, the rest you pumped with your hands. Seokmin pulled on your hair from the vibrations of you moaning on his cock. Seungkwan fastened his pace making you moan around his cock even more. You sucked on his head and hollowed your cheeks as you bopped your head up and down his length.

You started whining as you started reaching your high from the endless attack on your pussy but also the breathy groans from seokmins pleasure and the others moans who watched. You let out a strangled moan and clench around seungkwans huge cock. All of this was becoming too much for seokmin too, his hips started shaking as he finally released his seed down your throat.

You swallowed it all and licked at his slit getting every bit of his cum. You came around seungkwan and lay down from exhaustion.

Woozi, jeonghan and Joshua all watched and pumped themselves in sync with the pounding and head bopping, releasing on themselves as they watched the sight unravel.

“Sweetie you did so well”

“Whore how about you come back to mine and we'll record some of your moans for adlibs for the upcoming album”

“Send the adlibs to me for keepsakes” jeonghan sighed out, wiping his cum off his hands. Joshua raises his hand slightly.

“Me too if you don't mind”

You lay on the bed exhausted surrounded by a bunch of sweaty hot guys.

“Sweetie remember when you said you wanted 'us time' earlier, how do you feel about that now”

“Yeah I changed my mind”

hey from one nd person to another the comic where fm gordon says a slur seems kind of in poor taste. ik ur not intentionally making light of it and tht occurring in fm should be criticized but while you dont make it out to be a good thing making jokes about it and calling him a "slurboy" is kind of questionable? it makes it seem more like a plotpoint and angst rather than the creator of fm genuinely fucking up in the past (and having moved on from it)! i think exploring fm coming to terms with being nd is a good idea but this isnt the best way to do it. if you want me to explain my point more lmk if/when u post this and i will! someone already made a post abt it but it was kinda strongly worded and i wanted to approach you more calmly because i genuinely dont want to call you out or start drama or anything ;-;

first off thank you for being civil and patient with me i appreciate this ask a lot- also this got long- im not in a flying rage or anything when i bold or emphasis text, i just needed it also for my own readability and since im not the best at wording- hopefully this hellsite works and my response is under the cut

i would like to know how is it in poor taste when freemind explicitly gets clocked at the very end for saying it. the entire point of the comic was to show that saying the r slur has existed in his source and is bad

im not sure how much more direct i can get, with the disclaimer/warning list growing longer and longer and out there for a huge sign that says “this au can get dark as fuck and these subject matters are treated seriously/not something to mess around with.” Like yes, there are some jokes in the asks and other comics, but that specific comic is not supposed to be “haha thats funny”. it has a serious tone using a rough sketch style bc i was super tired and wanted to vent

was it just the direct reference to it that just made people uncomfortable? because thats 100% understandable, and i made sure i tagged it appropriately (although admittedly, a little bit late since i thought the filter would catch at least the main thing)

i think what some people somehow got from it is “exploring sensitive content = endorsing said content” which! that is not the intent! i absolutely do not want people saying that word! I don’t want people thinking that is any way okay for this character to say

its more of a damned if i do address it, damned if i dont.

if it never comes up, people are gonna assume that ‘oh this character says slurs and is shit, surely the creator or fan-creator MUST be okay with it and woobifies freemind and absolves him of any mistakes’ or something like that. no. this asshole has an arc and i want to do it right. its serious and i think it shouldn’t be shoved under the rug

and people just. dont want to read for context for whatever reason. theyll start watching it and get taken aback by the slur and start blaming me ‘hey you never warned for this’ when very early on i keep mentioning over and over ‘you dont have to watch it if you dont want to! This has slurs and 2000s internet brand humor/style’ You really dont, I’m not forcing you to watch it- Literally all you need to know is either canon half life or hl/vrai. thats it. fm mostly follows hl1 with very slight changes.

so i had to make something that:

1. warns people who arent aware and dont want to go through my asks or about/warning pages (for whatever reason) and just want to see the art

2. also NOT downplay freemind’s canon assholery. listen, i kinda despise writing mean and cruel characters, theyre hard to do, and a lot of people get shit for doing it wrong or people going “character = author”

i’ve also considered leaving the bubbles blank, but then people could fill it with whatever they want, then blame me for being vague. or they’d fill it in with a different kind of slur that freemind has never used, even if he MIGHT be the type to do that. I needed to explicitly mention that it is ableist slur. There are shitty racist and other problematic jokes, but never those kinds of extreme racial slurs to my knowledge.

Although I do see your point that maybe joking about it outside of the serious stuff might not be the best route. The slurboy jokes are getting stale, and I will try a better way to remind people.

The thing that gets to me is that it feels people are more than ready to defend either Ross Scott or Gordon Freeman the fictonal character himself. I don’t??? really care for Ross Scott, so I don’t know if he’s ever brought it up specifically. I’m not really calling him out or cancelling him. Idc for some white man’s feelings, im only bringing the timeframe of That era and reworking it to fit in This current era.

And I hate to break it to people: Gordon Freeman is a blank slate character, you can project whatever the hell you want on him as long as it’s not freakshit illegal garbage. The machinimas (fm, hl/vrai) do have SOME characterization that I want to nail down. It fucking sucks when characters are ooc, and I’m trying not to do that, even if it means sacrificing some comfort. But still mostly staying in my comfort zone if that makes sense

Now about the callout that I do not want to engage with the op directly:

Honestly im very surprised the comic was called out when i just. thought my stuff is relatively tame on exploring the bad shit canon freemind does. ive seen him in fancontent where they really dont hold back and its still played off as ‘kinda funny’ tone.

I really don’t know if people just want any reason to hate me for whatever reason. That’s fine I guess, I can’t please everyone and they dont have to like me.

But like. isn’t it so much easier for the op of that to block me and the post and move on. Why kick up such a fuss. I can see that thinly veiled death threat of a vague. That’s pretty fucked up- Like holy fucking god, you do not have to like my stuff. I’m not holding you at knifepoint to like my stuff. I’ve specifically made two different tags (one general au, one specific au) if anyone wants to blacklist it for their own reasons I do not need to know. I don’t want to know.

You’re allowed to be uncomfortable. You’re allowed to unfollow/blacklist/block.

However you just don’t go ranting about it for something you horribly misinterpreted. If it bothers you so badly, literally just. drop me a message to clarify. thats it. or save yourself the time and block me.

I’ve blocked the op for both our sakes, but if anyone wants to send this post to them, then thats fine. I don’t want anything to do with them.

I don’t want to link the post and blow it up. I just want shit clarified, dropped and we can move the fuck on with our lives.

If you’re reading this and don’t know what the post is, please don’t bother. I do not want people going after the op with threats, please keep it civil, I’d prefer if you don’t engage with the post at all on my behalf.

Despite this huge wall of text, I do not want this to be a big deal, so please don’t ask me about the details.

As for anon, feel free to dm me either on here or. Maybe on discord if you’d still like to suggest or have something more cleared up. I’m still willing to hear any kind of feedback, and i want to thank you again for being reasonable about this

Learning to love ALL of Star Wars

I’ve grown a lot the past few years, and with that I’ve came to appreciate a lot more things about what I love. I’ve went from bitter and spiteful about what I don't have to appreciating what I do have, and at the centre of that storm is Star Wars. A franchise I’ve only really been invested in the last year.

The beginning

So I was always a “fan” of Star Wars, sure. I grew up with the prequels and I was excited when Disney was releasing their new movies. But the past year is where I really got invested and found a whole new love for the franchise. And strangely enough, it was through the simplicity of Lego. You see, I started watching videos by Brickvault about Lego Star Wars minifigures, and something about seeing the toys I loved as a kid from a modern perspective took me right back to wooshing my Jedi starfighter around my room. From there, I started moving away from Lego and dipped my toe in theories, lore videos and eventually discussion and review videos, the turning point being Cosmonaught Variety Hour. Now, I have some opinions on the guy now, but Cosmonaught was perfect for me at the time. He was opinionated, entertaining, but most importantly knew his shit, and I liked that. His videos on Star Wars are pretty good, and really helped form my opinions back then... In a bad way... Now I’ll make this clear, this is NOT on Cosmonaught, it was just how impressionable I was as a person back then. I’m just saying how his video affected me on a personal level. Up to this point I didn’t really understand the hate for the prequels besides the fact they were “bad movies” and “people don’t like them”. Cosmonaughts video on the prequels gave me those reasons, and I finally felt like I got the distaste for those films. However, like they say... A little knowledge can be dangerous, and boy was I about to learn that lesson the hard way...

The fall

So here I am, knower of all things, the CORRECT things... I’ve watched my fair share of videos from a handful of sources, I know my shit. I’m making my opinions known, and I’ve become that friend. But whats this! A dissenting opinion!? My boyfriend actually likes the prequels more than the Original Trilogy!? SACRALAGE!! I must prove him wrong! And prove him wrong I...! Did not... In fact, something rather bizarre happened... He convinced me. I was stubborn at first, but I’ll admit, my wall got broken down at long last. He (bless his soul for dealing with me) managed to get through to me exactly what it was he loved about those films, and it wasn’t just the nostalgia. I had always seen the politics of the Galaxy like most other people did, some boring preachy nonsense that had no place in Star Wars, but I came around to it. Granted with a little help from the Clone Wars I managed to piece together just what it was there was to like about these films... I wont say they’re perfect, far from it. But internally they have so much more going on compared to the Original Trilogy. The Era has some of the most fun and expandable concepts and ideas in all of Star Wars, and while it may not be as iconic, the visual artstyle of it all is still its own recognizable brand of Star Wars. And almost like magic (or my phone spying on me) youtube started recommending videos that disagreed with Cosmonaught, and I got my first taste of how his video wasn’t as sound as I thought. Now as a side note: I still like Cosmonaught. He’s a funny guy who like I said knows his shit, but he obviously isnt the be all end all right and wrong which I hadn’t quite learned. I can enjoy his content while disagreeing with it, and I think thats just fine. I find myself disagreeing with a lot of creators I watch now and he’s just joined them. But hang on, we’re missing something here... A certain... Mouse? Perhaps?

The dark times... The Disney Empire...

So hop back to modern day for a sec, this timeline pretty much lines up with the end of the Disney movies right? So how do I feel about those? Well... When the first three came out, I liked them. Like everyone else I was loving new Star Wars. As a young art student, I loved Rogue One and TLJ for their stunning visuals, deeper themes and their attempt at something new and fresh. I loved the throne room fight scene, the light speed ram and how Rogue One had such a bitter sweet ending. But ho ho no one else felt that way! And whether it be peer pressure or my love of dumpster fires my opinions changed like that. I laughed at the Rose Tico and Snoke memes, I hated the Canto Bight subplot and poor Luke being butchered on screen like that, and then there's Rey... Solo came and passed. I refused to go see it, as I did with TROS which came out around the time I was getting back into Lego, and along with the prequels I was watching video essay upon video essay about why the sequels sucked and how to rewrite them. Some of them coming from a positive place, others... Not so much.. And so my hatred for them grew as I got back into the franchise and came to appreciate the originals for what they done great, and loathing the new films for lacking that same spark. And unlike the prequels, I didn’t really get enough pushback to change my mind. But what I did get was the full brunt of spite and hate the fans had for these new films, and honestly? It was depressing.

Hate leads to suffering.

I finally reached my rock bottom. I genuinely reached a point where I debated giving up Star Wars for the sheer amount of negative feelings I had towards the state of the franchise (which might I add is valid if you ever end up feeling that way about something you’re meant to be enjoying).

I struggled to get past how Disney “ruined” Star Wars, and clearly nothing was going to change. 40 Years of history had been wiped out and the new timeline was a contorted mess, and the amount of discourse and disagreements in the franchise honestly did not help at all.

Nothing was simple, everything had a catch. You like how Kylo was irredeemable in TLJ? Well he’s redeemed in TROS. TFA is a fun film but it sets up a lot of the things people hated about the sequels so you cant even just head canon that the other two never happened. And then...

Saved by Lego

There was Lego, making the best of a bad situation. It didnt care if you didn’t like that Palpatine was back (somehow), it didn’t care about the clunky prequel dialog, and it didn’t care about the thousands of retcons from the entierety of the franchises existence.

Whether by contractual force or not: It was pure, distilled Star Wars.

I loved how a set with Rey could stand beside a set with OT Luke and thats just how it was. It put into context that this was reality, and I could either be bitter about what could have been or accept what was, which wasn’t easy and I’m still not really over it. But I reached a place where I could accept the fun in all of Star Wars, that I liked how some of these characters looked, that these characters all existed in one Galaxy, and it was nice.

And it led me straight back into...

Learning to love Star Wars

One of the most important lessons I learned in the past year was trust your gut. Sure, hear out other peoples take on something, and if it changes your opinion all the more power to you. But don’t fight the fact you felt something in that initial reaction. I liked the prequels as a kid, so why don’t I as an adult? Is it because i outgrew them and see them for the disasters they are? Or is it because a someone who watched them as a fully grown adult that grew up with the OT was underwhelmed?

And to that extent... I rewatched TFA and TLJ with an open mind and an open heart. The result?

Im indifferent towards TFA. It has fun character moments and has a decent adventure, for what it is its good. But I actually found myself enjoying TLJ after all these years of hating on it. I liked their take on Luke, I liked the mutiny subplot, it didnt push the story forward leaps and bounds but it was a more methodical take on the franchise and for the I liked it. It wasn’t perfect, its biggest flaw is how bleak it can feel and its lack of doing anything interesting with its setting, but it does do a fair amount of decent things and I’ve come to appreciate it for that.

I’m planning to watch TROS at long last soon, so maybe I’ll update it here. But what I will say is that I hope Lucasfilm don’t give up on the sequel era and characters quite yet. There is still a lot to love here as much as you may not like it, and I hope that they can explore more interesting meaningful themes and narratives in external media that they couldn’t in mainline films cough cough Stormpilot cough cough...

I know not everyone will agree with how I feel now, heck a lot of my problems I had still stand, but I’m at peace with it all now. I just want to sit back and enjoy this franchise for what it is. While I might not forgive Disney for its severe mishandling of... everything (a rant for another time) I’m content just not them supporting to the best of ability.

Star Wars is in such a unique position where each generation has a different stance and appreciation for different parts within the franchise. The prequels were hated until its fans grew up and started defending it, The Clone Wars was hated until its fans grew up and started defending it, and the sequels ended last year, their fans haven’t quite got their voice yet. But I’m interested to hear what they have to say.
