My thoughts while watching…

It was a ✨trainwreck✨.

But… I didn’t mind it.

I’ve read the book, but i knew going into this that I had to separate the two works because then i’d end up pissed and irritated. I think it was a good call? the movie definitely leaves out a lot of the good juicy stuff from the books, but it’s got its own strengths.

Let’s get into it:

Agatha’s a good character. I think they might have missed the mark with her personality a bit though, cause she was the pettiest b!tch in the books. But i guess it works better with the movie’s vibe. and sofia wylie is actually gorgeous, i love her

Sophie was freaking perfect. i loved her character, miss sophia anne acted her ass off, and it paid off. Her character was better in the movie, imo. Don’t get me wrong, i loved sophie in the books, but they basically removed everything i didn’t like about her in the books out. so yes, love it.

Tedros was better than the book Tedros, but the bar was so low. it’s not that i didn’t like him, it’s just that the only times i really enjoyed him on screen was when he was with sophie or agatha. he had chemistry with both, i guess but his personality needed work. wanting “a girl that’s different from the rest” is not a personality trait netflix.

JUSTICE FOR GREGOR. that shit pissed me off!!! that man made me laugh more than everyone else, and they just killed him off for what 🤨

rafal is hot. his motivations were kind of confusing, but he fine so i gave him a pass

Lesso, Dovey, and Anemone were the best characters in the movie. there i said it. i guess getting older (i’m like 19 but whatever) means enjoying the adults in these movies more than them ratchet kids.

Ok, now the movie itself. If u had read the books before hand, it was maybe a lil disappointing, but over all it was pretty ok. if not, it was a little confusing.

that reverse uno ms. sophie served with the prom at the end of the movie was such a SERVE in the books. in the movie, i felt it was less impactful, which sucked.

The movie was over two hours long, but it still felt like it was missing so much of the story. I think this type of story requires a show. It needed more time to marinate.

I liked the relationship between agatha and sophie here. it didn’t feel forced, which was nice. the changes they made to the beginning of the story did wanders for their relationship, i think.

the side characters were good. unsurprisingly the ones at the school of evil were better by far. but i needed more of them. i loved hester, anadil, dot, and hort in the books. i feel like i barely got to see them :(

Lastly, am i the only one who thought the movie was a lil… heteronormative? Although Sophie and Agatha aren’t a couple in the books, there was always a… romantic undertone when it came to them. Maybe it’s just me, maybe i’m grasping here, but I needed a bit more gay 🤷🏾‍♀️

overall: 7/10. maybe 7.5 if u squint

P.S. Netflix needs to stop using these, quite frankly tired tracks for these movies. who else is lowkey sick of hearing olivia rodrigo or billie eilish every time a character decides to be a girl boss??? there are so many other perfectly good songs to use.

P.P.S. charlize come home the kids miss you.

𝐃𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞 Part 1

This was supposed to be Zhongli but I like The Doctor more AND HIS MODEL IS OUT. You can clearly see I have a type. This’ll be split into two parts.

How I imagine Dottore during his Akademiya days with a hint of unrequited love Spoilers ahead!

Warning(s): One-sided love, romantic undertones, mentions of death and abuse, character death(not u), blood and gore if you squint. Word Count: 1k

Part 2

The circumstances in which brought you into contact with him for the first time were strange to say the least. You were studying at Sumeru’s Akademiya, or more specifically, running through the halls went you got caught up in an overload explosion. You, being two years his senior, expected an heartfelt apology but instead got a dismissive attitude and an underhanded comment on your lack of focus.

It didn’t end there sadly, as the program which helped student from other cities adapt to Sumeru’s environment(the very one in which brought you from Inazuma to Sumeru), paired you and him together. Normally, they’d attempt to pair students up from similar backgrounds but no one wanted him and the only one left without a junior was you. How fun.

“Excuse me-?!“ You puffed out, thankful you had a geo shield active from your last experiment. That minimalized the damage but still didn’t fix the limpness you felt in your leg. The mint haired junior came stepping out, muttering something to himself about another failure.

“You’re excused. Move along unless you want to help clean up or become the next test. Perhaps looking where your running might help prevent this in the future.“ He slammed the doors shut, sending a cloud of smoke billowing in your face. Thank goodness some other, better mannered students came to your aid. They were also glad to help you file a report on him while the nurse assisted you. Turns out plenty of them had issues with this fellow.

Zandik, as you came to know him by, was unpopular among the student body. The more you hung around him the more unsavory rumors made their way to you by word of mouth. Many of them were of an angry mob which chased him from his home since he was caught experimenting on the locals. He was brash, cold, and even sadistic at times but you couldn’t imagine him going that far. Or rather you hoped he wouldn’t and looked the other way upon discovering his red flags.

The two of you sat across from each other with an uncomfortably awkward silence settling itself between you. Your eyes wandered to the other students from Inazuma enjoying getting to know each other while you were stuck with the same disrespectful junior who sent you to the Nurse’s office without so much as an ‘are you okay?’. He was more focused on whatever it was he was recently tinkering with at the moment which made you shift nervously in case it blew up again. “Senior (L/N)?” You both looked up to the group of students who came up, looking at you with concern and him with poorly hidden disdain.

“We noticed you didn’t get paired with anyone from the motherland. You could join us if you wanted, we were about to work on letters back to our families since one of us can sneak them in.” You smiled, there was only about 16 of them in total. Which was much smaller compared to the groups from other nations. Inazuma’s lockdown had hit the youth hardest, many who managed to sneak out may never see their families again. You moved to get up but hesitated. He would’ve been all alone, though that didn’t seem to bother him as he scoffed at you and continued to work. You forced up a smile and sat back down making him halt working for a moment. “Thank you but I’ve been paired already with my junior here. Please let me know how the letters go when they arrive.” You watched them leave with a pained expression when a soft cough brought your attention back to the rude underclassmen before you with his arms folded.

“You never told me you were from Inazuma.” You smiled, was this an attempt at socialization? “You never asked, Junior.”

“Zandik. My names Zandik.”

“So your mother is from Fontaine and your father is from Sumeru. Does that mean you can speak the language of Fontaine?“ You asked as your feet dangled from the experimental table you always sat on in his private lab, leaning on your arm for balance. He scoffed as he swirled the vial in his hand, the liquid swirling from lime green to blue. He had a plethora of expressions, as you’d come to witness. He hardly ever smiled, even with his affinity for you as he liked to call it. It was his way of saying he enjoyed your company. “Yes, I can. If you must know. Just as you speak the native language of Inazuma.” He turned and stopped when he saw you on his exam table. His expression warped briefly to something you hadn’t seen before before he gestured for you to get down, making you groan.

“What if I don’t want to?“ He made a noise akin only to a growl before he pushed you down by the shoulder into the cool steel. He was much stronger than you expected, or maybe it was because he caught you off-guard. Either way, he was towering above you with a glare. “Get. Up. Lest you wish to be my next experiment. Ne me teste pas.“

Your brain felt fuzzy when you left for your classes that day. Every moment you weren’t focused on something your mind wandered to the image of him above you, holding you down easily. His voice bounced around your brain, making your heart flutter in your chest. Your cheeks would immediately flush and your train of thought was gone. You rubbed your face as you erased and rewrote your notes for the 13th time today. It was this day you began to see him as a little more than just your junior.

It wasn’t long before your duo turned into a trio, another underclassmen inviting themselves to his lab and becoming quite fond of Zandik, just as you came to terms with your emotions and your attachment to him. She was sweet, though always with her nose stuck in her journal.

*squints at the people excusing c@tr@dor@ because “shadow weaver wasn’t catras mother!”

.. you guys DO know parents don’t have to be biological to be bad, right. Adopters are similar to like,, normal parents, theres gonna be good, theres gonna be bad, theres gonna be inreedemable, either way, catra and shadow have such a pbvious, yet toxic parent-child dynamic that theres.. theres not many excuses you can make friend. And.. adoptive parents. are still. parents.

No bad talk on adoption, u guys r valid but with any group of people theres always gonna be some bad parts in them. Correct me if im wrong here but im pretty sure every group has some bad, its just usually thats a really small minority— /gen

anyways you’ve made me actually like the idea of catra and adora keeping a sibling dynamic over it turning into romantic and i’m unsure whether i should laugh or cry /nm

- 🌥

AH I LOVE THIS ASK!

I also find it disgusting to base parenthood on the biological aspect ALONE, as a queer woman who will never have biological children of her own. i would be no less of a mother to my adoptive children--not if they're a different race, religion. any thing. there's so much more to it.

it's totally projecting, but that is why i am hardcore NOT calling shadow a "mentor". she's adopted BOTH adora and catra. probably changed their diapers and got them dressed in the morning. spoon fed them if they couldn't do it. and MAYBE she took care of them when they were sick (but probably not, because, ykno it's still shadow and the horde and all that jazz).

regardless, i can't unsee shadow being a hands on parent and raising both of them and ... i'm really glad i contributed to the sister!c//a propaganda in this fashion.

to be honest, i also laugh about it because god, they fucking kissed on screen. all someone had to do was make catra ... not adora's sister. don't even IMPLY it. to think that all of this wouldn't exist if the catra-shadow plot lines didn't have these overwhelming mother-daughter undertones.

#sister!c//a #anti c///a #anon! you're absolutely lovely!

Harry took one look at the survey && rolled his eyes. What a waste of fucking time. As if they were all going to BOND because a survey supposedly confirmed they could be f r i e n d s .
