I’ve started on my animorphs read (got a whole heap of notes on the first three chapters somebody help me) and I was thinking about how it’s neat that visser three is the one to say elfangor’s name but also. <an honour to meet you>

like probably nobody else knows this isn’t their first meeting because of Chapman’s apparent memory wipe. And like wow, this is a big moment. Their first face-to-face meeting since the alternate universe.

Prince Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul, decorated by the Andalite military, mortally wounded and the last survivor of the ambush on his dome ship. A hero so big that nobody will ever hear of his crimes, who just wanted to do things right.

And he’s facing Visser Three, who nobody has fought and survived.

Whose face he has personally been spitting in - as well as a creature without a mouth can - since he was just a subvisser in a hork-Bajir body.

Whose hands he played into better than the visser could ever have hoped, allowing this abomination - an andalite controlled by a yeerk - to be created.

And he knows he has to die. There’s nothing he can do, but he makes his ship fire, one last time - not on alloran though, he could never kill alloran, this is all his fault after all, but people have been freed before, and he’s just met the son he never even saw and he needs what he tells these human children to matter.

So he shows them how to fight, how to be brave, as one of the biggest moments in the war against the Yeerks happens in an abandoned construction site on Earth, with five human children as witnesses. Elfangor probably isn’t arrogant enough to think he’s a big moment, but to the yeerks, to the andalites, to the animorphs, he is. So really, of course, the biggest moment in the war was before visser three landed and showed the animorphs what elfangor meant. It was when a dying alien crash-landed in front of a bunch of mall rats who should’ve taken the long way home.

if I had a nickel for every 12 year old monarch who had a connection to dragons in a series that has had to fight adult villains who are being advised by someone older and eviler than them and are also coincidentally the father of one of their best friends so they can claim a throne that they are definitely too young for and still end up being amazing kings, I’d have 2 nickels.

i'm obsessed with her. not only did she film them, she had it ready to go on her phone with a pink heart filter on top

one thing i never realized bc i always either pair chrom with olivia or make him gay is that not every sibling calls lucina “luce” and its making me crazy. inigo and brady call her “luce” for short. cynthia calls her “lucy” (MY FAV), and kjelle and morgan just call her “lucina.” why did they make this change across supports. “to add personality” you say and to that i say YES obviously but also. potential of telling us more about how close lucina was with each potential sibling? maybe. what im getting at here is chrom!kjelle and lucina maybe suffering the most in terms of feelings of inadequacy and having that slight strain that keeps them from being close. this does not apply to morgan bc i chalk his up to memory loss BUT. you could also say that lucina never let him get close because she’s wary of him. hows that. and if you read closely what im actually saying is that i need an au where all six of them are siblings and not all of them have the brand of the exalt

Congrats to Patalliro Saiyuki (2005) for giving Maraich the screen time and importance he deserves, and improving Patalliro as a character while also passing the mantle of most annoying character from him to Bancoran

Absolutely mystifying experience 😌

i never talk about it here so y’all don’t know this is my scene too, but if you’ve heard about this franchise and decide to check out the movie to see what’s up, pls go into the movie knowing that this is not a good representation for what this story is about 💔

Once again we have to content with the united states of america fucking up shit for everyone. I'm not gonna bother reblogging anything about it. If you're a citizen of that damn place do something, you have all the resources you need to make a stupid phone call or write an one-paragraph email. No excuses.

And if you're from any other global power (european union, england, canada, australia) you better not whine. Do something, you also have all the resources you need to use your voice. I'm not saying you can fix it, I'm saying you have to try.

For me to be even speaking properly, let alone fluently in your "global" stage, I had to be privileged enough to get a great education. I am white in my country, but latino in yours. I'm an adult privileged enough to participate without the right to do jack shit to help change things on a global scale.

You owe me a voice. That is your great power and responsibility to bear.

Sincerely, a citizen of Brasil.

I'm watching joy of life s2 on viki and everyone in the comment section is complaining about yan bingyun's actor no longer being xiao zhan, but honestly the only true loss i'm mourning over is fan xian's squishy round cheeks :(

"I didn't watch seasons x-y, but why is [character] like this? Hate it. More [side character meant to be a one-off]! No!!! Not like that!!!"

"More queer representation [via my specific headcanon OTP and nothing else] or you're baiting!!! Other queers don't count."

"This movie/show/book that clearly states from ep 1 that it's playing in the ~toxic ~romance sandbox is TOXIC. I hope they all learn how to use therapy words to fix it."

Dudes. There is a difference between being critical of the media you consume and hate watching things that don't jive with you. Sometimes, things are garbage, and you can enjoy them because they're trashy and fun. Some things are actively offensive from the jump, and continuing to engage is the worst form of masochism. Sometimes, things just aren't made for you specifically.

It's wild how fandom has stopped being about "you and I love this thing, fuck yeah" to "you like this, I hate this, so you're wrong and here's why". Just don't watch the gore show if you don't like gore. No one needs you to tell them why gore is bad, actually. We fucking know. It's part of the fun.
