idk guys something about episode 9 of season 4 having ten i love yous and two of them being between eddie and dustin and jonathan and will but the other EIGHT being just mike repeating it to el....it just doesn't feel right
like, why did mike keep saying it? i know it sounds crazy, but in the episode we have two examples of love - REAL LOVE - being shown in EXTREMELY emotional ways with one i love you.
we KNOW that the writers could have written a monologue, just as impactful, i'll argue more impactful, with one i love you. because if his whole arc in s4 truly was just that he couldn't say i love you, him saying it for the first time would have been the monumental moment of the speech. but it isn't.
he says it right at the beginning. immediately. there's no impact and every i love you following it continues to lessen the impact.
aka byler endgame
#byler#stranger things#byler analysis#back on my mike wheeler shit#BECAUSE IF YOU PRETEND#that his arc is what they said it was#his character is ruined#he went from arguably the main character#(arguably cause el and will could also be the main characters)#to some guy with a conflict that's giving high school musical#like YES#it is a conflict#but what the purpose of giving him that specific conflict is#is to reduce him to el's boyfriend#if you take his arc at face value#yeah#they've downgraded his character to revolve around el#but if you think about it for 0.2 seconds#you'd realize that that makes no sense for the writers to do#and ask yourself#why his character revolved around el so much suddenly#mike wheeler

Oh I see why you all like Kabru now he's wonderful.
#dungeon meshi#i think you'd be hard pressed to find a character who's not at least a little interesting#but i loved seeing him in action. he's so smart!#AND HOW HE STOPPED RIN FROM USING THE SPELL ;LSKDJFKWEHTJKWEHTK#i love his party too they have such a fun dynamic!#they're clearly set up to be foils to the touden party#but they still feel like solid characters on their own even if you didn't know they're the main party's foils

kabru is so funny. i feel like he tries to manipulate laios but in his perspective laios is even more fucked up than he is so it doesn't work
#and you'd think 'guy with no social skills' would be a really easy mark but his monster stuff is so dismaying that kabru has to just leave#and also he fucking sucks at everything which is so funny. like dude why are you trying to be an antagonist#when you suck at everything and keep dying and also sometimes have better morals than the main characters#dungeon meshi

Something about the way Spinel, Friede and Liko's first Pokemon all share (or will share) the Dark type under certain circumstances (Spinel's Blacky being Dark type, Friede's Lizardon becoming Dark type upon Terastalization, and Liko's Nyarote will eventually gain the Dark type if it evolves into Masquernya). And how all three of them craft strategies around diversions, creating distractions, observations and running away.
Also thinking about how Spinel's Orbem is a Psychic type, similarly to Liko's Tebrim. Psychic moves being used to restrain or limit movements, or stop opponent's moves and use them against them. (Liko's Tebrim using her Mind Power during the battle against Grusha to stop her opponent's Icicle Spears and send them right back at it really reminded me of Spinel using his Orbem's Psychic moves to restrain Friede's Lizardon's movements back in HZ014.)
#liko#friede#spinel#character notes#i am having thoughts about this. and how all three of them have this cunning side to them in their respective styles#which is super interesting for main characters to have in the case of liko and friede#also thinking about the additional similarities between spinel and liko in that their main partners are cats(?? is blacky a cat ww)#i really wonder if spinel and liko will interact next ep because i find their strange similarities in terms of styles kinda fascinating#given that they couldn't be more different personality wise#i love that liko has a psychic type because the style that comes with such a type isn't necessarily one you'd expect from a protag etc#restraining movements or using your opponent's moves against them#(which is what spinel did against friede in ep 44 since blacky has foul play and that moves uses the opponent's strength against them etc)#i remember being blown away when horizons started airing#and that in the first eps liko was already 'i don't have to defeat them!' and used nyahoja's leafage to create a distraction and escape#(that was against zir and conia btw)#also the way friede left as soon as liko was okay at the end of ep 3#and how he didn't finish his battle against amethio because that wasn't a priority#i was like wow. the main characters are escaping because it's the logical thing to do?#and there is no moral value ascribed to running away?#i thought that was great ww#either way very interesting how all three of them (liko friede and spinel) have this trickster side to them#and it manifests differently etc

a few days ago i (re)watched the 25th anniversary concert of les misérables and. oh god. i forgot how much this musical did éponine dirty
#partly javert too but éponine is the clearer victim#of simplifying complex characters into more easily lovable (or villainous in javert's case) archetypes#so the audience can root or despise them accordingly#(i think cocciante's nddp is also guilty of this but imo there this adaptation choice makes more sense and is better executed)#say what you want about the 2012 movie and you'd probably be right... but at least they tried and partially succeded in giving éponine back#her complex moral ambiguity with not giving cosette's letter to marius and selfishly goading him into a sorta murder/suicide plan#which more or less is what happens in the book#(javert is also allowed to be more than a caricatural villain. i mean... russell crowe's singing is. Not Great#but at least the script show the character's many layers. or it attempts to#nvm that i don't even consider javert a villain. he's 100% an antagojist but far from the main villain of the story#he's both victim and perpetrator. the law and society at large are the villains here. he's actually a good cop... which is the point!)#éponine in the book is a multilayered bordering on grey and easily the most complex female character of the whole book#but god. in the musical she's just there pining for marius and being all Saint Éponine of Saint Michel#it's insufferable. i mean i still like her but she's TOO perfect. i wouldn't have had such an issue with it if i didn't read the book#.... probably. but damn we were robbed. les mis miniseries with actually accurate depictions of the characters/the plot in general when???#(preferably made by someone who *understands* the book. tyvm)#having said that i still love the musical to pieces. the music is great the songs are beautiful the story is touching#and the epilogue makes me uglycry every damn time. but i think we really missed a chance with éponine ngl#val speaks#txt

Is there an actual reason why Chris's eyes change colour? They started off blue, then hazel/brown then back to blue again, his eyes are clearly brown Death Island which is set before RE8 but in RE8 his eyes are blue.
Why is it so difficult to be consistent with his eye colour?
#it's kinda bothering me like you'd think they'd be consistent with a main character's eye colour of all things#chris redfield#none of the other main characters have that problem (as far as I know)#well I suppose Wesker is on the same boat now#remake Wesker's eyes are green with orange edges#they're NOT hazel#hazel eyes are brown in the middle and green/blue on the outside#wesker is the opposite; his eyes are green in the middle and orange/brown on the outside#if his eyes ARE hazel then it's not the usual kind of hazel#unless he's wearing contact lenses to hide the fact that he's mutated and to lay low I don't know why they changed his eye colour :/#or he has chromatophores in his eyes and can change the colour of them at will???#or the virus he's infected with has reindeer dna in it or some shit#reindeer eyes change colour to the seasons; golden in the summer and blue in the winter

Sometimes I feel a bit bad for Astérix tho. Everybody loves Obélix because “ he’s funnier and cuter and he eats a lot and Astérix is sooo boring” and stuff and I’m like “C’m on, look at this little guy. He just wants to protec”.
#he tries his best okay#astérix#asterix#astérix et obélix#i still think it's funny that goscinny wanted the audience to identify with the smart little guy#but everyone fell in love with obélix instead#the big strong naive guy that goscinny absolutely wanted to avoid#main character in old school franco-belgian comics tend to get it pretty rough in term of likeability#you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who favors tintin or lucky luke or spirou in their respective books

Do you ever think about all the women in jjk that don't even get a second to be mourned?
#like I love this story but thinking about any female character in it breaks my heart#like not even the obvious main girls that got killed for basically no story payoff#I thinking about ppl like kaori too#how we never even got to experience the horror of everything kenjaku's done with her we just get a flashback to further develop yuuji#like literally the vilest shit done to women in the story are footnotes that the characters don't even blink at and it's a lil bit fucked up#like I love gege's writing don't get me wrong#but I WISH they'd give a shit about any female characters as much as the male characters#like it just makes me sad I want so much more from all of them#but the only one still being treated as worth anything in the story is a stand in for another male character at this point#like there is no single panel of maki where toji isn't looming over her and it makes me SAD#toji was cool af but maki would NOT become him she is nothing like him and the fact that they're basically the same rn makes me kinda mad#maki shouldve become ANGRY and violent and a complete opposite to toji personalitywise bc that wld be more in line with her pre culling game#jjk spoilers#it fucks me up that the only person that ever got mourned for body snatching was gojo like not even geto really got that#besides gojo mourning him (which he also didn't get to do) no one really acknowledges the horror of kenjaku's whole thing#its weird for me too for a story so obssessed with the idea of a 'proper death' kenjakus perverted immortality isnt rly criticised#at least not as much as you'd think

Me: Though it's interesting to browse through the new survivors and killers every once in a while, the botched writing and poor decision making of DBD makes it not worth the time to engage with it.
Also me: I bet all of the Legion members would have a really hard time killing Nicolas Cage
Legion reverse version of a dream blunt rotation (worst survivor rotation) is Jane Romero (bootleg Oprah), Nick Cage (Nick Cage), Jeff Johansen (former friend), and idk--either a survivor who bites (IE Laurie) or one with 'you're kicking a puppy energy' (IE a medic). Hit google for the fourth spot and shit there's a lot of survivors now. How do y'all keep track of all those perks holy shit
#but yeah I think the shock factor alone would really be something. why the HELL is he a survivor???#ask#anonymous#dead by daylight#I always feel like the world is high when I remember they added him#not even a character just the celebrity. he's not even like a horror actor. not that he doesn't /do/ horror just it's not his Main Genre. H#is a jack of all trades. like if it was Vincent Price or smth you'd be like 'mmm kinda tracks tho' but NICK?

#he's so beautiful i'm gonna throw up#i'm gonna kill everyone who hurt him too. btw#nothing bad can ever happen to the man I adore#i mean if someone physically hurt a loved one of yours really really badly you'd probably feel violent too right? bc I do. seeing that one#man. he makes me so mad. I would NEVER treat my beloved that way. never ever.#(tbf my ship w him is pretty sad but that's not the point. our relationship being lore-accurate does not stave off my purely positive#daydreams !!!!!!!!!! we are kissing and holding hands in my head <3 in the plot too but mostly after a lot of blood and tears. literally.)#(i love making things lore-accurate but this game is too sad fore me bc I love the main character too much :I and bad things constantly#happen to him. of his own will for the most part but I want to save him from his self-destructive tendencies.)#(not even R/ei is super gentle with him. okay thinking about this is making me sad moving on)#mwaaaaaah mwah mwah mwah kissa him#kissa him sooooooooo much <3333333333333333333333333333 he's so pretty I'm going to pass away#img#Phoenix.txt#Gallery#R: Sour Switchblade#(ignore the new f/o tags.

♣ Gekkouin.
As a bird demon, I think Gekkouin has a lot more potential that Kagami didn't explore before kind of pushing him to the side(?). When I saw the chapter where Gekkouin was fighting with the other Shinoa Squad's black demons, he only used very generic attacks that seems to be any attacks that demons could use? Which personally feels like a waste, considering Kiseki-o and Asuramaru were able to exercise their own powers during the fight against Yuu.
I think it would've been cool if he made use of more bird-themed abilities, like even something as simple as using his wings to throw Yuu off-balance during the fight would've pose some form of challenge. After all, even the most formidable swordsmen would waver if they loose their footing.
Also, a rlly cool ability i read somewhere, like a peacock's shrill? or peacock cry? An ability that agitates or grabs the opponents' attention, thereby limiting their ability to tunnel vision?? LIKE THATS SUPER COOL and could've made Gekk so much cooler?? I mean, yeah he would still get beat up but at least it goes to show that the black demons aren't exactly weak either??
Like yes, he is a side character and yes, he probably shouldn't be 'invested' in so much. But if a side character doesnt prove any sort of challenge or support to the main character, then he might as well not be there in the first place.
#muse (3): gekkouin.#♡. 「 rewind the music box . / hc 」#personally its just me being mad that kagami's writing when it comes to making 'antagonists' or making the main character stronger is just.#not good.#HJBERFHJERBF#i believe all authors and creators are entitled to write stories however they want#however with that being said#i also have the right to think its absolute shit#like wdym this bird demon only goes pew pew and thats it#wdym he doesn't have hypnosis#or could agitate opponents#like do u know how much ppl were so excited when seeing gekkouin#for the very first time#you'd think this author would try to make their protag look cool by making the antagonists/enemies/opponent have these flashy powers#and then they get absolute smashed by the protag#IDK I HAVE A LOT TO SAY OK#i just sat there realizing that#shit#gekk literally has nothing.#like bro is just a Demon#while Kiseki-O is a coffin demon#Byakkomaru is a Tiger demon#ASURAMARU GETS ASURA KANON!!!!#why does gekk get the short end of the stick huh

the more i get into other media and broaden my horizons and have fun and be full of glee and whimsy i realize even further how fucking cursed i am with this gas station
#kommento#// diagnosed with gender trauma now the severe and chronic not like other girls disease#// call me a doutan kyohi with how i'll climb on top of people trying to shake my hand because i wear a stupid uniform#// cosplay a moel uniform and you'll be the fucking president with how everyone wanna shake your hand#// watch me get into a media because the main character looks like blorbo and realize how the way you engage yourself with this new guy#// is behavior you'd fucking despise if it happened to the blorbo that this new guy resembled in the first place#// 'haha wow hes a bit out of character here but itsok because it's a bit funny' but if it happened to mimi id start growling at the screen#// i dont think i'll ever loosen my grip on mimi. everyone has to hate my guts or desire me carnally theres no inbetween#// i'll be serving as much as i can until the stars align & i'll be free from the thousand curses but i will always still forever love mimi#// ohh im finally getting sleepy now hoorayy. heres another one of manager's diary entries ohohoho goodnight my dear customers

dude i'm gonna throw up. i cannot write a critical analysis of this writer without hating on him. i do not wanna make my prof feel bad either though. :/
#like ok he's supposedly a satirist but is it satire or just equally flattening everyone into stereotypes... am i an idiot??#he's like a satirist but his main thing is that the system works. :/ so uhhhh what r u doing...#like r u just writing to fill bookshelves at the store?? just so people can pass the time reading??? i'm confused.#+ like i feel like i get the moves he uses. it's very haunting it's just that it's also... archaic...#am i missing the point of this guy completely???#plus i think i'm haunted by his stories bc i'm like 'this is how he thinks the world works?!' but maybe i'm missing it.#maybe the point is that the narrator is a terrible person + all these people r just living their lives + the narrator gets their motives#totally wrong. i guess that could be the point of it...? or that the shallowest person in the story is the narrator for everything???#making false assumptions about everyone else???? based on sort of typical story structures????????#well i guess it's more interesting than taking it at face value. but i don't know how i could back any of that up other than being like#'this author is so well-regarded that he must be doing something smart like this.'#maybe i really am stupid. he's gotta be doing that. but then why do book reviews say there's love involved? you'd have to take it seriously#2 take away the idea of love..???#but it's just not a very satisfying love?? like the parts where the characters think they're doing things out of love are the most#transparently self-serving. like especially if you're seeing it as satire. i don't understand this at all.
