#All Props Deserved

[deadlydelicious]

the quiet whispered way Owen Wilson says 'let time pass' is actually devastating.

don't ever let anyone think he's somehow a lesser actor than Hiddleston just because he cut his teeth in Ben Stiller movies not Shakespeare. That wistful delivery gutted me every bit as much as Loki's shaky smile when he realizes what he has to do.

#still not over how good the casting was for the byers family

[pownicmania5000]

Welcome to the M&L small companion family

[mikeellee]

So MHA´s ending makes sense even if is not a good ending

So, I saw a youtuber (Brazilian one) and his ideas are more or less what I´m saying. The ending makes sense: The whole individuality became collective ("I can be the biggest hero" "We can be the biggest hero") and I get the feeling Hori WAS trying to put in the story, I do. The execution is poor bc the author forget about his own MC.

The one constant of the manga is how Izu is always suffering...always.

And we do have a right to see an issue with that, hell, narratively, what´s the point of Midoriya thinking he is useless from chap 1 till the end?

But it makes me wonder now...Is the Izuku a reflection of the Japanese boy out of the Japanese patterns of normalcy? I know someone will scream "LoV" but LoV is something different... The bullying there is ...horrible, and not always the victim get any justice, the word is enduring.

A kid like Izuku WAS set to fail in his mission ALONE.

Yes, we can make fics where he is OP. Or he has friends(good friends, mind you bc no matter what anyone says...A1 are fake friends in canon) or money...won´t change how in canon, Izuku was doomed to fail alone.

Is that intentional on Hori´s part or he just hates Izu? We don´t know...his writing shows he doesn´t like Izu and prefers BK (smth Brazilian critics can pick up, but maybe is just Hori being incompetent)

It´s a cyclical ending, in a way, bc Izu starts the journey not being able to be a hero bc he has no quirk...until he meets AM (a lucky chance) and ends with him being a hero again bc AM (plus his damn abuser and A1, supposedly...some translations don´t say if they helped, some say they did but BK and AM helped the most) with a suit keep in secret from Izu was in the make for 8 years.

Why this has to be a secret?

Why everyone was so damn busy to talk to him? Are all of them working extra time to get him a suit?

What if Izu didn´t want a suit?

What do Izu think of AM suit?

Is Izu a well-liked teacher?

What do Izu teach to the kids?

Why we couldn´t see Izu happy in his job?

Why does he feel alone?

I know Hori wanted to end this manga ASAP, not blaming him as making a manga IS hell, but he could have ended this with a happy Izu (one that looks an adult, same for A1 and I don´t like them)

The manga does make sense, I swear but it´s smth linked to the first chapter...Izu is not treated well, he feels useless without a quirk (no quirkless discrimination ever happened, only Izu abuse) and only gets to be a hero bc AM (a lucky chance one in a million) happened to him. He didn´t earn anything.

And all his efforts aren´t recognized. Like, he cleaned a beach for 10 months.....NO ONE SAYS A WORD.

OFC the ending would be like that. If Izu gets nothing for his deeds on chap 1, why the ending would be rewarding for him or for us?

Me impulsively making a Byler edit after I heard this song bc I thought it was Byler Will pov and I had a vision-(it's my first edit that's why it's GOOFY)..

hey everyone, i won’t be as active for a while. got home last night super late after being on the road for 20 some odd hours. dealing with some family things and as an older sister, my priority of taking care of my siblings comes first before anything else. being on here is amazing for me but i don’t think i’ll have much time for it. reminder to please treat those in your life who are battling addiction with patience and care. i lost my older brother (sweetest person i’ve ever known and he remained that way up until his last night) to suicide and alcoholism, trauma and ptsd, depression and his feelings of hopelessness. talk with the people you care about. another of my siblings is dealing with the same and i refuse to let it escalate to such a terrifying end twice in less than a fucking year. remind the people you care about that there are beautiful things to live for. show them kindness and love. there is all kinds of misinformation out there but know this, you can make a difference for someone. don’t let them suffer in silence.

Honestly I don’t think I have ever seen a show that understands it’s characters as much as my beautiful man does. I also think that’s precisely why season 2 was just as good as the first one which is something that many bl’s can’t do.

In the last episode of season 1 Kiyoi still ran away from Hira before their final resolution. And while in the third ep it looked like he is still doing the same, this episode shows just how much he grew. He is a sulky person and that didn’t change he just now knows how to handle it. He knows how to handle the situation and Hira which is something we have been seeing throughout this whole season. He was honestly my favourite.

And then we have Hira and honestly even with how much he frustrated me this season I can’t help but just absolutely adore him. Why? BECAUSE THE SHOW KNOWS IT’S CHARACTERS. It understands his flaws but most importantly the reasoning behind it. The last episode just showed that. While it may look like Hira hasn’t changed much he’s slowly getting there. Maybe slower then the people around him (like the people in the reunion) but that doesn’t matter especially for Kiyoi. He is actually explaining his reasoning and thought process and allows himself to be vulnerable towards Kiyoi. Also the things that the photographer mentions about Hira are so interesting and explains his character quite well. But damn the man really psychoanalysed my dude…

Finally, Hira and Kiyoi’s relationship is what makes this show so great. Kiyoi really knows Hira so well. He has a deep understanding of him which is something Hira really needs. Someone who understands him and they way he is. Sure Kiyoi gets mad at him (rightfully) but he always comes back and tries to talk it out and understand Hira. They’re slowly getting there but their dynamic doesn’t change and it never will. Which it doesn’t need to. I think the last episode showed how their dynamic (with lots of communication and understanding) can really work

This post is a mess and I do not have enough understanding in English to explain just how well this show and its characters are written. This will always be one of my favourite shows. Writers, I love you all and I never doubted you (that’s a lie I definitely was worried)

[ahhhhhhh-e-i-e-i-o]

unpopular opinion but the word “as” is hardly ever an acceptable replacement for since/because (specifically talking about fan fiction). you don’t need it. it doesn’t make you sound fancy it makes you sound like a 14 yo who just learned about it in english class. ESPECIALLY in dialogue. and maybe this is just an english ad a second language thing in which case i have a lot more grace but for everyone else: no one says “i just went to the store as we were out of milk,” if someone said that to me i would be SO confused. i don’t know why everyone feels the urge to use it but it always pulls me out of the story because. who is saying that.

People shit on Elemental for its race/culture allegory looking even more reductive and rigid than Zootopia's on the service, but I think it actually used it super well. It feels a lot more like a very broad and fable-ish metaphor than the sort of hard world-building with direct racial parallels found in Zootopia. Zootopia aged poorly cause it was so fucking direct in its parallel imagery to real world oppression with the police angle, whereas Elemental is just generally about the experience of being an immigrant. The way it uses the infrastructure of the city being actively built for some and harmful to others is really clever, I adored how they used that.

It also helps greatly that Elemental was written by a POC from the perspective of the marginalized because it helps make the metaphors feel more cohesive. The choice to make Judy the main focus as a perpetrator of the systemic predator oppression that greatly mirrors real world anti-blackness aged like milk to me, it screams white guilt complex. And the fact it spends a lot of time not engaging with forms of prejudice besides the bunny oppression until it gets to that feels very flat. Elemental immedietly explains its main allegory very strongly and from the perspective of those it affects, so there's no fluff or time spent ignoring the issues from the privileged perspective.

Literally the thing that will instantly kill your fantasy oppression metaphor is being white guilty about it or not thinking super hard about what you're paralleling if you're going to be as blunt as Zootopia. Stuff like accidentally giving the oppressed group a reason to be oppressed as you do with the predator-prey dynamic. It's just the biggest fucking red flag and shows little understanding of why these systems exist irl. In Elemental the metaphor obviously uses a lot of imagery to show that the fire people are meant to be east asian-coded, but beyond that its content just being a story about class and immigrant families. About being from different worlds and feeling like they're impossible to combine, because of experiences and backgrounds, which is expressed as being fire and water.

Unlike being a bunny and fox, that imagery is a bit less loaded and can be turned into a sort of mutual harm as it is in the film with Wade being at risk of evaporating as muxh as Ember is at risk of being put out. And, in the end, it's found that water can just bubble a bit as the metaphor for a compromise. Which is fine enough and where the more fable-ish approach to the allegory became clear to me.

It's also used very cutely for their personalities too in a way that comes back to the background divide - Ember being fiery, anxious, and high-strung from pressures of supporting her community, and Wade being all blubbery and emotional but mellower because he lives in a supportive upper-class family. Its just a lot cleverer on a couple of levels than the bumbling between 'predators are black and brown people but also their oppression is bad but also they are dangerous but also its cause of a conspiracy, and also small prey are kinda like white woman and theres intersectionality but its shown horribly'.

Despite Ember's racial coding, no matter how you code Wade's family it doesn't matter because it is simply about - 'you live in a city that has integrated for you, and I don't' - which could apply to an upper-class family of any background, cause it's more of a class thing now. Even if he was black-coded (which Ive seen from fans likely because of his VA, I dont remember if he was in the films text), it still works cause their ARE affluent black families whom by nature of having been here and integrated are in that privileged role over a poorer immigrant family of any other race.

Allegories for class or upbringing usually age better, the systems that create those are a lot more basic and less loaded to parallel on a surface level than racism or misogyny. Not that they CANT go really deep, but it's easier to not come off as blatantly offensive as long as you're not like a eugenicist about it.

I like showing my friends progress of whatever I'm working on and then just skittering off because I have responsibilities I have to take care of.

Like, I'll be on my break and working on something and take a picture to send my friends before going back to work because my break is over. Or I'm working on priming/painting these Bad Batch Loth Cats and I'll just send them progress photos before skittering off to make dinner or take care of my laundry

Most recently it's been these small simplish landscape painting sketches for a set of five! Totally for fun, as pretty much 95% of my projects are lol

“listen to people in the global south!! anyway go harass these communists who are mostly from the global south” great praxis there

Which fucking Tankies on here are from the Global South???? Unless you mean second generation immigrants from the diasporas who won't talk to the FOBs. I'm sorry but if you live geopolitically removed from the ground realities of your native lands and won't center the people who do, then you don't represent the realities of living in your native lands. In any case, I've never harassed anybody in my life, but if there's actually Global South people on here race traitor enough to be a Tankie I may be moved to make an exception.

I don't care about communists my dude, I care about imperialist bootlickers and genocide deniers. But it tracks that you Tankies think you represent all communists. Zionists think they're just Jews, radfems think they're just feminists, transphobes think they're just people with dissenting opinions etc. You people are very deliberately obtuse about the fact that you're held accountable for actively holding a specific ideology that is lethal and poisonous to innocent people.
