Melissa Barrera has allegedly been dropped from Scream VII because of her alleged “antisemitic” posting. To be clear she is and has been Pro Palestine and has never made any posts that attack Jewish people.

Boycott the next Scream film. This is a direct attack on a woman speaking her mind.

Thank you @mythartist21 for pointing this out!

THERE HE IS!!! WHITE WASHED AND GINGER BUT THERE HE IS!!! I CAN FINALLY VISUALIZE HIM IN A 3D STYLE!!!

Im gonna cry, reducing him to a marketable plushie wasn’t enough! THEY ALSO MADE HIM A FORCED PETER PAN REFERENCE!!!

His face during the meeting, the moment he first says "No." As he realizes what has just been said and decided, not just his dream being shattered right in front of him but also the chance they're taking away from all those kids just because Auradon is scared. The camera glosses right over it in the moment, but if you get a good look: he's reeling from it, literally backing away. The horror, frustration, and heartbreak is sinking in, and not even his own fiancée is on his side.

And the movie somehow wants me to believe he agreed with Mal and everyone else on this decision.

just spent the last 5 hours listening to stucky fanfiction and drawing this, guess i was fealing bit nostalgic

[rosasstrangemelody]

In my opinion, it was reasonable that Sabino's wish was not granted on the ceremony.

Magnifico said that it is his responsibility to only grants wishes that he's sure are good for Rosas.

This means that he must make sure that the real intention of that wish and its owner is something for the good of their society.

And maybe Sabino's wish was not as dangerous as Magnifico thought, BUT.

He was right that his wish was too vague. Sabino wanted to inspire the next generation, certainly not just to play lute (because if he had waited this long to play an instrument, I must say... he was too easygoing!).

And Asha requested the king to grant her grandfather's wish in the same ceremony that was tonight. I know, she approached him very respectfully and tactfully to somehow request this, (I mean, she didn't want to be the king's apprentice JUST because of the position. Even when Gabo told her that she was trying to cheat the system, Asha's body language was betraying her words saying "I'm not trying to cheat anything". Of course, if I were in her place, I would try to achieve my desires or my loved ones, but this is a bit tricky).

So Magnifico said that her grandfather's wish was vague and he could not grant it on his birthday- which was the same day.

He doesn't take the risk of granting a wish he's not sure what it is - and it's only been a few moments since he saw it closely - and also Asha wants it to be granted TODAY, which means he doesn't have enough time to study and analyze it.

So not granting Sabino's wish and rejecting Asha's request was a rational decision. Asha just wanted to grant her grandfather's wish and make him happy on his birthday, but she did not see the bigger picture, she was not in Magnifico's place to understand why he made such decisions and I attribute this to her attitude. (For me, I am someone who doesn't look at things from only one point of view. One sees the glass half full, one sees the glass half empty, and one sees the whole glass).

If Asha really understood Magnifico's position, she would never have acted impulsively without consultation and would not have rebelled and turned everyone against the king- which will cause chaos in their kingdom in the future.

Yeah the other reasons why King Magnifico is a villain are valid but to me the biggest reason why magnifico is the villain is because he actually has a book of nothing but evil magic, and yes its "forbidden" but not to magnifico he can use it when ever he feels like, no one was forcing magnifico to have that book but him, he chose to have and use it knowing it can only do evil and nothing but evil, if you allow a demon to possess you to do evil things then you are evil.

You bring up an important point about Magnifico’s villainy that often gets overlooked—his deliberate choice to keep and use the book of evil magic. It’s not just the fact that he possesses the book, but the deeper implication that he actively chooses to engage with something that is forbidden and inherently dangerous. The book is full of dark spells and curses, things that can cause nothing but harm. While it may be “forbidden” in the general sense, that restriction clearly doesn’t apply to him, and that’s where the true danger lies.

What’s particularly telling is that no one forces him to keep this book. He could have easily destroyed it or locked it away where it would never see the light of day, but instead, he chose to keep it close, ready to use whenever he sees fit. That’s not a decision someone makes lightly, and it speaks volumes about his character. This isn’t a case of someone being tempted by dark forces beyond their control. Magnifico has full agency in this situation, and he’s making a conscious decision to keep evil at his fingertips. That alone makes him dangerous, because he’s shown he’s willing to use those powers when it benefits him.

The idea of him having a tool for nothing but evil is what cements his role as a villain. It’s like willingly letting a demon into your life, knowing it will lead to destruction and harm, but embracing that for your own selfish reasons. Magnifico isn’t a victim of dark magic—he’s an active participant. That level of awareness and control over his actions is what separates him from a mere antagonist to a full-blown villain. He knows the consequences of his actions, understands the power he wields, and still chooses to indulge in it. And like you said, that conscious decision is key. If you invite evil in and allow it to take root in your life, that makes you responsible for the havoc it wreaks.

In this way, Magnifico becomes a very intentional kind of villain. He doesn’t stumble into darkness; he walks right into it, eyes wide open. And that is perhaps the most frightening aspect of his character. His ability to choose differently, but his consistent decision to embrace evil, makes him all the more dangerous. It’s not just about having a forbidden book—it's the knowledge that he could do otherwise and still doesn’t. That’s what makes him the true villain in the story.

BNHA Ch. 429

So, I guess Toga is dead, and people are losing it.

I get why people liked her--she was actually queer, being pan/bisexual. She was representation for them and that's rare in shonen manga. But here's the thing--she was bad representation at best and insulting at worst. Nor do I think she was made queer because Hori really wanted to represent a queer girl. Himiko was always the author's poorly hidden fetish--she just was. She liked girls as much as boys because Hori wanted to draw a girl touching sexually on another girl. You can see this in how he draws her and Ochako in solo pics together.

I mean, people seem to understand this when it comes to Momo and her outfit being overly sexual or that both Himiko and Hagakure's Quirks either leave them naked or they have to be naked to use them. These are excuses to draw girls in a sexual manner. Himiko being into other girls is the same thing and that's the kindest interpretation.

Given how Himiko acts and her Quirk being heavily coded sexual desire, and therefore her use of it against someone unwilling being sexual assault, it could just being playing into harmful stereotypes of predatory gays.

As a queer person myself I just found Toga insulting. She was designed to be overly sexual and give the male author a female character that he could draw being suggestive with his other female characters. When he did flesh out her character, her backstory was eventually the trope/fear of straight people, that gay people will be so overcome with their lust that they end up sexually assaulting them.

In the end Ochako accepts this part of Toga and says she'll giver her blood forever, but as much as a lot of readers took that that as some deep lesbian confession, for me it really fell flat. Hori never really gave any of the main kids time to actually learn about their villain or show how that changed their minds toward them. Shoto only works because Touya is his brother (even though he admits he barely remembers him). But Ochako goes from not thinking of Toga at all pre-first war, to one thought about her during her speech, to suddenly caring about her so much she--given how Toga's quirk is coded, is willing to essentially fulfill Toga's kink for the rest of their lives.

It's weird and it comes out of nowhere. It's made even stranger because Toga doesn't actually change or show remorse for anything she did, which included personally hunting and murdering people before she joined the LOV. None of the death and destruction she is also partially responsible for is brought up either, something that Ochako was rightfully upset about during the first war when less people and property had been destroyed. Ochako just accepts everything about her suddenly and her past serious crimes are forgotten so they can cuddle and cry.

Am I shocked Toga died--a little. I didn't think Hori would have the guts to kill off a young girl character, especially one that he clearly got a lot of joy drawing in sexy poses. But at the same time, once he killed off Shigaraki and ended Touya's story with his slow death, I'm not surprised he went the same route with Toga.

This isn't Naruto--Hori isn't really kind to characters that do something wrong, especially if they don't try and change. Enji, Bakugo, Hawks, and Aoyama all sort of got punished for what they did. Enji is the worst off, being permanently crippled, missing an arm and burned everywhere. Bakugo's hand is damaged, his heart weaker, plus he feels bad that Izuku lost his Quirk so they can't compete the same way he wanted them to. Aoyama, despite doing way less wrong and even helping his class during the forest raid, still leaves school because he doesn't feel he earned being there yet. Hawks lost his Quirk and even though him running the HPSC could be seen as good for him, Hawks always wanted a break, but now he has one of the most time consuming and stressful jobs out there.

So, if this is what characters who actively did good things and even changed and fought to be better get, what would characters who never changed and never did anything positive for anyone but their friends/themselves get?

Before the last Arc started, when so many people said the LoV were 100% going to be redeemed I had doubts and always thought it wouldn't make sense with how the story presented redemption or treated other non-LoV villains in the past. That if the main LoV did get some happy ending where they were bffs with the main cast it would clash with how other characters had been treated.

That doesn't mean that I think how Shigaraki, Toga, and Touya ended up in the manga was well done. I think their endings fit far better then a last minute redemption would have, but at the same time you can feel how rushed everything has been since the end of the first war arc. Hori was done with this story months if not years ago, yet he was contractually obligated to finish it. Because of that I think he left out as much as possible. As much as I think he's written some pretty obsessive stuff, particularly towards women, I can't really fully blame him cutting corners or the story being shit at the end.

We know Manga authors, particularly those that work with Jump are treated like shit. That they suffer incredibly long hours at times not even getting to go home for days. We've gotten messages for Hori saying he's sick quite a few times. On top of that, weekly story telling is not a great way to tell a cohesive narrative. Ideas probably change week to week or at least month to month and you can't go back and change the last chapter no matter how much you need or want to. Then you remember he also gave a lot of ideas to the people who made the movies, which would also change his plans for how he wanted the main story to go.

The story is bad--it has been for a while, but I think a lot of people put their hopes on their favorite characters getting a happy ending, even when there were signs that probably wasn't going to be the case. I know how much it sucks when a character you love gets a shitty ending (Stain was my fav, but he got an absolute dogshit ending) but at least, knowing what I know about the industry I can't really blame Hori the way I see some other people doing. Criticize it, sure, but saying Hori hates his readers or is horrible writer isn't true. BNHA was popular for a reason--he's great with characters and the beginning of the story had some great pacing. We'll never know, but I wouldn't be surprised if BNHA could have been amazing if Hori had been treated better and the story hadn't needed a chapter every week.

If anything BNHA has taught me how much a story suffers when authors/artists are treated like crap and forced to work past burnout.

I just wanted to say that uenoyama is the writer for umi e, he did all the heavy work for the song, composing, lyrics, he sung it and named it, so people crediting yuki for umi e, when he only did a semi demo it's erasing ueno's hard work and it's very weird behavior.

Also it's such a nasty move from the animation team to erase uenoyama's vocals during umi e for hiiragi and not giving him any verse when it's clearly that uenoyama sung along hiiragi at least during the second part of the song and it's when the song became a love song but the animation team decided to only give uenoyama background vocals that can be barely heard during the song, we knew kizu was his number one anti especially now that she decided to drop a new pic for her favorite but didn't bother to drop one for ueno's birthday or a new one for this movie that is supposed his "big moment" but now in addition to erased uenoyama from key scenes in the movie and adding new mafuyuki ones the animation team decided to erase him from his song too and even decided to drop a new version of fuyu no hanashi "ritsuka vers." when you can barely hear him again instead of just giving him a new song for him and mafuyu. Not only is Ritsuka ignored and hated by the fans and kizu, now the animation team instead of trying to expand on him and fix the manga's problems they decided it's better to ignore him, sometimes I wish uenoyama was from another author because he clearly deserves better than whatever they are doing to him.

what do you fucking mean that's how charlie dies. THAT'S HOW CHARLIE DIES??? i mean i know the show has a penchant for killing off every character who's not a winchester brother or an angel of thursday but good god. what the fuck. charlie was such a good and enjoyable recurring character, and she had such a fandom impact that i've seen, and she's only around for THREE SEASONS?? (sidebar: it's amazing she has the presence she does for only being around for a couple episodes in the long run!) but: was this necessary? and she just dies offscreen after her skills are utilized to progress the plot of decoding the book of the damned?? oh my god. what in the actual fuck. i'm finding myself getting genuinely very upset at her death. she did not fucking deserve that. and i can absolutely see why the fan response to her death is what it is now. completely fucking unjustified and throwaway and useless.

I just think it’s silly that so many people complain about Villain Amaya as “wasted potential” and that “we were robbed” like-

My pals, post canon fan fiction is right there. The desire to free her husband is right there. Either by touching an evil book while being too eager to remember the obsidian oil, or being possessed by contact (ie what she believes is true loves kiss) when trying to reason with him in the dungeon.

We don’t need a rewrite, we can have a continuation. Both can be true. Amaya is a complex character, she can handle it.
