dont kill me pls
uh, controversial opinion, i didnt like the MD finale
[spoilers/ranting]
now dont get me wrong, i feel like the ending was fine, but the trip to get to said ending? ehhhhhhhhhhhh..
the animation is like, the greatest, prob the greatest in the entire series. however, the writing for that episode feels under cooked. like, theres too many plot holes, too many lose ends, the pacing is absolute dog water.
but the biggest issue? N and Uzi's personalities changed. Uzi reverted back to pilot emo gremlin, and N turns into strictly Uzi support with PTSD.
like, idk, i feel like N really didnt do anything, like, you could prob remove him from the episode and it would be more or less the same. and if you look at the merch?
feral N? decapitating J??? i dont think N earned this, that didnt happen. im 99% sure N doesnt even lay a finger on J that whole episode, the most he even interacts with J is writing the "I O U one spaceship" note. like, the N that was teased and shown in the merch vs the N in the actual episode is not the same person. [no i dont mean that literally]
Vs stand? she 'died' fighting the sentinels, Uzi's? she sacrificed herself fighting the solver/cyn, N's? he didnt do that, eldritch J doesnt even show up in the finale, N doesnt really even fight outside of supporting Uzi and V, none of the DDs even get X visors for that matter.
alot of the characters feel useless i think. like, khan doesnt really do anything, nori doesnt really do anything, thad and lizzy, N, hell, even J. this episode just kinda boils down to Uzi vs Cyn with strong support from V. wouldnt be so much of an issue if Uzi hadnt had her time to shine in episode 7 aswell, like, everything before this was building up for N to take a grand stand or something. he should be PISSED at Cyn, everything and everyone hes ever loved got stripped from him because of Cyn, he literally DIED for Cyn back at the manor, only to watch as himself and V are mutilated and transformed into the DDs, and he gets dumped on a planet where hes abused by J for god knows how long, and when he finally starts to stand up for himself, make a friend/lover in Uzi, reconnect with V, they end up 'dying' right in front of him, FOR him aswell.
all of that stress, all of that fear, all of that anger, and what does N do when he gets back to the surface? sees J working with Cyn? sees Cyn literally destroying the planet? hell, even comes face to face with Cyn?? he just stands there in fear. weve seen N push past his fear before, weve seen N confront Cyn before, so why now is he just standing there? or the one point in the fight where he stops because Cyn flashes a picture of a dog on her visor, like, that shouldnt of have stopped him. thats the person he should hate the most in the universe right now, giving him second thoughts over a png of a random dog. like, huh???????
N also never gets a resolution to his literal years of CONSTANT abuse from J. the only time N lays hands on J is episode 2 with eldritch J. who fights J the whole finale? V. whos pissed at J for betraying them? V. but whos decapitating J in the mural? N. huh? what? why??? also this is a minor nitpick, but in the ending where N yells "THATS MY GIRLFRIEND!!! :D" that doesnt seem like an N thing to do, like, N is a very humble character, he doesnt come off as the type to brag about having a gf.
not to mention Uzi, omg. i think in the finale Uzi is just being a dickhead. for example, when N recovers her he openly says and expresses that hes angry at her for what she did, and what does she do? she headbutts him and calls him a bitch. now lets consider V. what does she do upon finding out N is alive? she apologizes profusely, UNPROVOKED.
what does Uzi do upon seeing V is fine? she makes a deadpan comment about how shes happy V is alive. now tbf, she does look back and give a genuine smile, just to say like "hey, im being serious tho", but like, still, damn Uzi.
another thing i dont like is how serious moments keep getting ruined by jokes. every time something devastating happens, you either dont get time to process it before gets resolved, or the tension is destroyed by a joke.
N getting his core ripped out for example, the second i started to panic, like "OH GOD CYN HAS N'S CORE-" his core is back in his body and hes fine after like 10 seconds. every 'fake out' death in that episode doesnt work, because it gets resolved in literally 20 seconds or less. but i feel thats more a result of the serious pacing issues in the episode.
the episode is 20 minutes, whatever, but keep in mind, MD: Intermission, THE FAN EPISODE, is about 21 minutes long. thats right, A FAN EPISODE MADE BY A COLLEGE STUDENT WAS LONGER THAN THE FINALE. WHAT????????
overall i just think the finale comes off as incredibly rushed, hell, even the merch seems rushed. now im not gonna point any fingers, but certain items seem kindaaaa, ehhhhhhh [cough cough, cat V plush, Cyn plush, and random sticker sheet that just uses the animatez box art]
but yea, thats my 2 cent about the MD finale, overall im prob gonna forget about that episode and go read fic rewrites or something

Aro Fireheart my beloved... I'm AroAce, or some flavor of it, and I was happy to see that line from him in the newest chapter. I do enjoy shipping and the FireRaven thing but it's always so nice to see aro and ace rep in things.
I cannot tell you how I came to write him that way (writing from my own experience or just not wanting to write romance or something else, I'm not sure), but I feel it fits this Fireheart! I like the idea of someone who is all-loving and yet not interested in that kind of love, know what I mean?

Hey king/queen/my lord have you watched Jujutsu Kaisen before because if not that art u just reblogged might be vaguely upsetting to you
Hello fellow Tumblr person,
No, I don't know the show and from a quick Google search, nothing upsetting jumps out at me.
The art is nice and a bit sexy. I see someone, possibly one of the 2 in the art, has a hand in their palm, which this blog is full of monster smut so that's pretty tame, imo.
Again, doing a quick Google, something about curses that must being eaten, but not finding characters names to faces, nothing upsetting is jumping out. Closest upsetting thing is possible incest maybe I'm guessing? Idk honestly.
But I do thank you for your kindness for the warning.

Hello!
I first want to make it clear that I agree with you that proshippers are disgusting. My question is genuine.
What do you think of Idia x Lilia? To my knowledge, Idia is 18, and while Lilia's age is unknown, and while faes age a bit differently than "regular" people, he can be assumed to be way older than a high schooler. They do have a significant age-gap. I was wondering if this ship would fall under the proship category?
I have seen fanart around of them and thought it was cute, but was also unsure of whether it is immoral or not, and/or your opinions on it.
Again, this is a genuine question. I hope I did not make you uncomfortable. Have a nice day.
any ships between the third years (except for malleus of course) and lilia is okay to me tbh i personally think idia x lilia is adorable i used to rlly like that artist because of the ship art unfortunately they're a terrible human being

Okay but for people who do hate the new suit:
in Assembled's episode on She-Hulk the design team of the ketchup and mustard suit made it sound like it was an "evolution" of the suit, like this will not be the Permanent Suit Forever
the design team for Born Again could take it and evolve it into something else entirely and the design team for She-Hulk make it sound like the suit is completely open for that journey (much like Matt's character Charlie has no idea where Born Again is going 👀👀👀👀 they emphasized it being very much a Season 1 and not a Season 4 of the old series)
Edit: i also forgot to mention that there's been alot of discourse on the new color scheme resembling his dad's fighting colors and i totally accept it as canon until proven otherwise (and it's an incentive to like the suit c'mon)
2nd edit: okay according to the encyclopedia this was on purpose
