another controversial take: every character is developing at the expense of topmew's

this is going to be an itemized rant and my thoughts are messy rn but sue me, i guess. feel free to raise brows but if you can get to post rants, i can too.

1. boeing should've been introduced episodes ago (not in the latest ep). as much as i liked raymew closure aka ray realizing that mew is not in love with him no matter what, boeingmew would have made even more sense. but then again, if we never had that raymew scenes, ray will not have that character development, progress with sand, and sand's character development.

2. as much as daddy dan (lol) is a plot device for boston to realize or act on his feelings with nick, mew's revenge played a part. he 'somehow' became apologetic, it's evident on his face during the confrontation scene, for stirring up things in his friend group and arguably starting to value things that he used to be so nonchalant about because he is moving away.

3. now that points one and two are established, can you see that the other pairs except topmew are progressing? not only their relationships but the characters are progressing, having arguable character development idk, or developing.

do we have the word "progress" on topmew as a pair?

do we have the word "progress" on top and mew as individual characters?

zero. nada. zilch.

it's like the writing team thought: "ah, in episode 5 onwards, let's develop everyone else except topmew. tone it down aka cut the scenes because people will hate them. tone it down because mew should not overreact in the burning of drawing scene. tone it down. tone it down until the scene drown and disappeared like titanic. tone it down until it goes down the drain."

apologies. i love mew and i am his number one defender but his character in the recent eps is stagnant and the latest one? ooc at that. at the same time, i feel bad that he is straight-forward and knows what he wants but becomes a stagnant character going back in circles. it's like everyone around him starts to have character development or redemption but he is reduced to, according to some viewers, an annoying brat. yeah, this is what happens when you toned down book's crying during his confrontation scene with top showing how he loved top so much as well as not showing more scenes that mew is really hurt and felt betrayed. he didn't have a proper breakdown aka crying scenes on his own but instead jumped on revenge era. the things are not grounded. people cannot sympathize with him because they do not fully know top and mew. they lack screen time to show who they are as individuals and as lovers. but that's just me.

what pisses me off the most is that he becomes a stagnant character and in the process, top is also hindered to progress. i mean, you know that at the beginning, i don't like top but he made his way on my fave list.

top was considered by others as someone without depth (at least that is what majority says no matter how much people explain top's nuances anyway). he is boring, bland, playboy, someone who is smug. i mean, when every character in the show gets to cry out loud and scream their hearts with proper build up except one or two, you will find them boring. book mew crying his heart out in the confrontation scene but was toned down? force top crying about him and mew at the silent disco while discarding the scene where he tried to find someone new but he cannot because he loves mew so much? like why are other emotional and crying scenes have proper build up and more nuanced but top, this is coming from a not-so-fan of top before, and mew do not have?

it's funny because top is reduced to mew's ex or lover (what are they anyway rn?), who (mew) happens to be reduced as a plot device for the character development or redemption of ray and boston, which had a domino effect on sand and nick's character.

ah. my lovely top and mew, especially my favorite, mew. i'm sorry that you are reduced to this which could have been fixed should people have more backbone and your characters have been thoroughly discussed in the writer's room.

anyway, i had low expectations on this show because as much as i liked the director, expectations lead to disappointment. now, im not expecting anything from this show. topmew is barely salvageable and is hanging by a thread. and if we don't see top's trauma next episode but more of NC scenes (i'm okay with it but to use it to appease fans is not), i'm sorry but... heh.

you know what is funny? for topmew to be based on real people, lovers at that, only to be reduced as plot devices and have a terrible state aka stagnant in the recent episode is peak comedy.

[welcometogrouchland]

i'm suffering under the curse rn BUT. i am 3 episodes in to The Magnus Protocol and so far my thoughts are that it seems pretty good! on the one hand i should probably do my best to separate tmagp from tma but at the same time, i mean, the only reason i'm listening to tmagp is bc of prior attachment to tma, so it's interesting to me to contrast and compare them (though in all fairness it's been a while since i listened to tma).

the new cases are definitely cool so far in terms of allowing for more formats, i wonder if we're gonna get any future explanation for their eloquent presentation like we did in tma since idk if there's any hints so far at what the whole worldbuilding deal is with that so far in tmagp.

i will say that- do to the different formatting and immediate bigger cast who gets more focus and whatnot- tmagp feels more 'TV' in a certain way. which isn't a pejorative statement and i actually really dislike it when ppl assume something being 'TV' means it's low quality or shallow, lol. tmagp is a good example of something feeling 'TV' but it's a notable difference and is casting my mind back to the discourse/discussion about a tma tv adaptation and what that would look like back when archive 81 got one. i imagine it'd feel a lot more tmagp inspired.

cast is cool so far! i admire alice's actress for being able to pull of the extremely tumblrific dialogue (which i know is on purpose but was also VERY off-putting to me at first- it's the kind of thing that i love when written but spoken aloud in a fictional setting sometimes raises my hairs for some reason). i already love gwen, she's defs gonna be the toxic woman i get attached to and then regret it (assuming i listen to more episodes which i hope i do? i'm not great at it but i do like finishing things, my brain is just pulled into all directions rn if that wasn't already apparent). Colin you're great, i can't wait to watch you break down. Sam you're great too in a way that your personality rn makes me very excited for your potential future corruption arc (obligatory reminder i'm only 3 eps in and just making educated guesses based on what jonny and co did for tma, though i do acknowledge that there's a lot more fingers in the proverbial protocol pie rn)

in general i'm curious about the direction of the show, namely how they're gonna make it tragic in a way that's different to tma? bc i always maintain that the beauty of tma is the slowburn, and how everything happens so slowly that by the time you realise what path we're on, it's too late to stop any of it, and the more you learn about these people and this world, the more you realise it was always going to end like this, even if it didn't have to.

it's a tough feat to pull off and the inherently different structure of tmagp makes me wonder if they're gonna have to pivot what kind of tragedy this is. it's probably apparent right now to anyone who's properly caught up but as for me? i'm curious and cautiously interested. idk if i'm ever really gonna get involved with the fandom like i did with tma (bc that was a mostly great but also wild and formative experience for me and in general i'm bad at being multifandom no matter how much i wish i could be bc it would make my life sooo much easier. but unfortunately the shape of my autism (title of my new movie and/or hit single /j) does not allow for it with any ease. only struggle)

anyway i have an essay on political cinema to write so i really need to close this window lmao. will perhaps consider some kind of liveblog or sequel post to this as my listening progresses

[lonelier-version-of-you]

Okay, I still haven't properly watched the Casualty trailer (I'm very tired and don't have it in me to process it all rn), but I thought I should throw in my two cents on the Dylan autism thing:

1: The show is finally saying the word "autistic" about Dylan! They didn't need to IMO, since it's already been referred to and made clear in enough other ways for me, but I've always thought it would be very nice if they did so yay.

If we're naming characters' neurodivergencies onscreen now, btw, can the show admit Jacob has PTSD please?

2: I just hope this isn't leading to a "Dylan discovers he's autistic" retcon. If the show wanted a "discovering you're autistic" storyline - which I think is a very worthwhile story to tell and I desperately wanted it for Henrik on Holby - there was just recently plenty of time and opportunity to do it with Sah. Dylan knows he's autistic. He has plenty of behaviours and subtext that really only make sense in that context.

It's as important to Dylan's narrative that he knows he's autistic as it is to Henrik's that he doesn't. There are some characters - Eli or Chantelle from Holby come to mind, Sah for a Casualty example - where I could believe it either way that they do or don't know, but for those two I think their circumstances are quite set in stone.

What I'm hoping this is, my ideal way for this ep to go, is something like: Patrick brings up Dylan's autism as a reason he thinks Dylan shouldn't be working at Holby, Dylan avoids admitting it outright because he knows it would make Patrick feel even more that he's correct, Dylan later opens up to someone - not sure who it could be tbh, I'd say Donna but she left so yeah - about it and confirms he is autistic, but that he didn't want to tell Patrick/doesn't tell people at work in general because of stigma and fearing they'd think he shouldn't be there; the latter could even lead to a poignant line like "and it happened anyway".

3: Okay, I suppose this is technically my three cents now, lol! But I'd be okay with this being an autism diagnosis storyline for Dylan, just so long as it's clear he already figured it out, he just never properly got diagnosed.

[mysteriouslybluepirate]

Hey,

I just wanted to make sure: have you been in the ofmd fandom during s1 coming out? I'm very interested in meta from that time (I'm not asking for any links, I can search myself, don't want to bother you, unless you would like to recommend something, that would be great of course)

(Forgive any spelling errors for now, im in bed on my phone lol)

Hello! Yes I have! I started watching the show a few days after s1ep7&8 came out, and watched eps 9&10 the moment they came out!

During the early days of fandom meta, you had a lot of straight up show analysis. Songs, motifs, symbols and explaining characters actions and the like. Back then I don't think I ever posted, just reblogged some stuff relating to Ed/Stede.

For that, I'd recommend looking up the topics I listed from lighthouse symbolism, music in certain scenes. Bare bones, but fun stuff! The tags 'ofmd meta' 'Edward Teach meta' or character + meta. That or ofmd symbolism, ofmd mental health, Ed's heart(referencing the red cloth), Oranges, Oluwande's earing.

My biggest draw here is I just love characters and analyzing character arcs in stories. So I have always been on the more meta sides of fandom.

I started posting light meta for Ed and Izzy maybe around June ish of 2022? Maybe? Nothing big, but from then on I focused mainly in the Izzy spaces. FOR ME: I was more intrigued by the meta on the cycles of abuse, classism, refrences to historical piracy, and just sheer angst and heart and emotional honesty of the Meta on this side of the fandom. I grew up and still live in a very red very rural US state and cant safely be visibly queer, so i latched onto Izzy's caution around visable queerness/vulnerability and habit to cling onto the established norm vs. Stede and Ed's story on 'The Love Shack' Carribean eddition. (and the fact Izzy's side treated Ed and Stede like characters that COULD still make mistakes.)

Some fans prefer the romance of ofmd while others prefer the story of family/acceptance/angst. We as a fandom split pretty quickly after ep 10. Trust me.

I sadly can't recommend you anyone specific due to essentially texting this post rn (and if any fans at the time comment down below any notable meta writers they can remember, I'd appreciate it-im drawing a blank besides my mutuals-hell give yourself a shout out if youd like). What i can give you are the disagreements that split meta writing in the fandom during the hiatus. Hell some of these even have trickle-down effects to this day as to how the fandom portrays these characters TO THIS DAY. This is where I see the clear line between what ofmd fandom will call the Izzy 'canyon' of meta vs general fan posting.

1.) Did Izzy influence/order Ed to become the Kraken? [Ed meta: (to be a bit uncharitable) Ed felt like he was alone and he'd only be able to keep Izzy in his life is if he became the Kraken (or Izzy is somehow abusing Ed to make that choice to become the monster he feared)] [izzy meta: izzy wanted blackbeard back, his friend and captain, not the Kraken. He cares about Ed being safe, and for them, that means hiding behind the blackbeard shield. Even if it keeps them both stagnant]

2.) Does Ed want to kill? How does he frame killing? How does he moralize it? How does this trauma affect him as a character? How does he value the lives of his crew ('they're pirates, that's their job' s1ep4 vs his dad or the ship he lit on fire for example)

3.) Is izzy homophobic/racist/a colonist/more of a piece of shit beyond just being an antagonist(if i were you I'd also just stick away from a post if it seems like the writer is framing all of Ed's actions like Izzy is his 'puppet master controlling the strings'.)

4.) Why do Stede and Ed seem to struggle to care about anyone else in their lives beyond each other? (Not really popular outside of Izzy spaces unless discussing ADHD/AUTISM. Honestly I don't know how you'd look for this in a Tumblr search bar, but it's some good stuff)

5.) Edward Teach has Adhd/BPD/Depression or the cycle of abuse, Stede Bonnet has Autism/Adhd/emotional childhood neglect including some amazing meta on masking. I think I even wrote something about Izzy and autism actually....

If I were you this is where I'd start. The mental health discussions in this Fandom are intriguing. S2 did basically confirm the ADHD 100% for anyone who was doubting, and healed Ed's btd with stedes dick, but other than that. There's some really good stuff in there. An easy way to find some good writers!

>) ALSO: Does piracy represent masculinity?? (S1 says maybe, it depends. S2 throws that whole meta out the window, but it was fun to talk about equating Izzy and Ed's leather daddy ship and more masculinity presentations of queerness to traditional masc gender roles)

6.) Do you define Ed and his actions as his own or as that under labels? This one is super frustrating to me personally. It does nothing for me to look at s2ep1 and say 'see that's the Kraken, that's a mask, that's not Ed'. But a lot of the general wider fandom do see Ed masking as somehow putting on a role, like in a play, and carrying out his evil actions under a pseudonym. These people usually will also believe the 'Izzy is manipulating a mentally ill man' stuff. As if Izzy isn't also SUPER fucked up.

THIS lack of character direction affected our fandoms fanfic and fanart too. I look at Ed and see a man who is and has fucked up. But hell, go back to S1 fic and you can read a fic where izzy slaughters puppies and Ed stands by with 'sexy cow eyes' unable to stop him. Then the next read 'Ed/Stede slowburn post s1 where Izzy goes to get Stede and learns to be apart of the crew' in 40k words.

7.) Jim's religious trauma, what is up with Buttons, Lucius/Izzy and Polyamory dynamics, or other topics with side characters that are brushed off. I bet right now if you look at people writing S2 Frenchie trauma Meta, they wrote stuff for s1

8.) Also- was izzy turned on by the toe thing/getting slammed into a wall. Yes. This is still debated. As a con oneill fan, those are not his 'I'm hot for this' faces. But No. You will still see that interpretation today that he wanted Ed to do something to him only because he got off on it. Even after s2. (Izzy being a masochist however? Fan theory that was embraced and made into a refrence in s2 which was fun)

I've just rebloged a post with some meta from a writer I enjoy and I will tag you!! But yeah! OFMD mutuals if you can recommend any meta writers, don't be afraid to!! Thanks for the ask!!! ❤️(I will likely add to this post when I think of more lol)

Currently reading: Technically reading Harlem Shuffle by Colson Whitehead rn, but it's slow going tbh.

Currently watching: I've actually been watching a bunch of stuff the last month after several months of watching pretty much nothing lol. However I'm not currently in the middle of something. I guess the last thing I watched was this anime my sister insisted on called.... Bucchigiri, I think? There's still only 3 eps out so it's still pretty early to judge, but very campy, very homoerotic, so I see the appeal. However so far not really my cup of tea for a few reasons.

Currently obsessed with: SIGH agohiru atm, they've been eating at me. And eyeshield 21 as a whole lol. I JUST. WANT MORE FIC OF THEM 😭

[theironcurtainisrainbow]

I wrote a #Cheers fanfic. It's Cliff/Norm. Yes it's m/m slash [s]but it doesn't get graphic[/s]. Technically it's slash and it's as canon as I could make it. IE there's no holes in canon besides that I made them have a secret gay affair which after the Tortellis ep 3 that's pretty much canon now as far as I'm concerned lmao. It's a draft rn but I think the link works.

first time I've written a serious fanfic... Well not since I wrote a Shenmue (Ryo/Shenhua) on fanfiction.net in 2003 when I was 13... haha

Idk if anybody will read it bc it's a extremely small ship, only like 10 fics on the entire ship on AO3.

I guess I could say I like this ship better than putvedev now

Although it's 2 gross old guys again lol

[jd-205]

I really crave some cute fluffy romcom series right now and because romcoms happen only during summer in diziland I had to be open to completely different areas.

(Note: there are dizis I want to watch like Afili aşk, I'm just not in the mood for that rn, I don't even know why)

After checking the romcom tag on here (yeah yeah..., I AM pretty desperate though) I stumbled upon kdramas and well... I have nothing to loose right?

So after checking plot of some series mentioned I settled on Touch Your Heart (진심이 닿다) (2019) which promises cute fluffy relationship without excessive drama.

And let me tell you, I enjoy it A LOT so far. I'm half way into episode 3 and gosh, it's really good. Completely different but really good.

More thoughts below

I love it. I love that we went at hyper speed from complete enemies to decent colleagues within 2 episodes! That's amazing lol. And it didn't feel rushed at all. It felt really natural and completely believable.

I feel like the first episode felt a tiny bit off at times but what series doesn't have a somewhat rocky start? So overall I was really satisfied with the first episode and even more with the second!

One would assume that the (almost ex-) movie star would be this superficial and rude person. But quite the opposite is true actually! Within the first 2 eps the depth of the character is noticable and I love that. I really do. I love that one party is not really that bad that would require the grand major character development in order for the couple to be happy.

They both have their flaws but they actually try to work on them to make the situation they're in somewhat comfortable.

So I really enjoy it. I feel like there's quite a lot of side characters and I have a bit of a problem remembering who is who but that's not something negative about the series.

The only thing that's really hard for me are the names. I mean when they refer to each other as Mr. Kwon and Ms. (I honestly don't know😅) it's alright. But with the full names I really don't know what's the given name and how I should refer to the characters lol 😂. That will get settled for me I hope though.

The thing I find somewhat annoying are the excessive sound effects. Sometimes there could be less of that and I wouldn't mind at all! It's noticable, but it's nothing terrible.

Also the amount of product placement caught me off guard. I'm not that against PP (like, I don't like it, but I know the series gets money to actually shoot from that, most of the times it's just silly) but it really shocked me that there was that much of it right from the beginning. Like in dizis PP can be seen only in later episodes when the series and it's rating is worth the cost for the advertisers. So it surprised me lol.

FINAL THOUGHT

I really enjoy it so far and I will definitely continue because I'm eager to find out how this story unfolds.

So overall I highly recommend!!!

[leafpool-loves-ashfur]

👀 can i see Timberstar and Peach? (And their kits?)

!!! hell yeah you can!

here is Timberstar!

and here is her mate Peach!

and their kits!

litter one: Tempestheart, Hawkstripe litter two: Tempestpaw, Jackdawcall litter three: Lionpaw litter four: Hermitcurrent (24 moons) litter five: Posyfur (13 moons) litter six: WhorlPeachkit, Timberkit (newborn)

(yes my ass plays with no shaders so it makes for ugly sprites but i prefer it this way)

now you only asked to SEE them but i GOTTA ramble about them now because Timberstar's life is CRAZY!

Timberstar and her two siblings Tempestkit and Pansypaw were brought into the clan by their loner mother Addershade. now as you can guess based on names, Tempestkit was killed at 5 moons old by a snake, and Pansypaw died at 12 moons old when he was taken by a Twoleg and euthanized! Her mom also drowned when she and Pansypaw were apprentices. So, lotsa death for Timberstar at a very young age!

Regardless, she became a strong warrior named Timberrip! but then the sole medicine cat Weedsoar had kits and Timberrip stepped up to take care of the clan while Weedsoar couldn't. during this, Timberrip mentored Ferretsmoke to be a medicine cat (who just died like 2 moons before her rip </3), then returned to being a warrior!

then Peach joined the clan after a StarClan cat led them there! he and Timberrip became mates and had their first litter, Tempestheart and Hawkstripe! I thought it was so cute she named her kit after her dead sister! ...and then Tempestheart and Hawkstripe both died (separate occasions), and she named her next kit Tempestpaw, who also died, and I think at that point it just became a cursed name 😭 at this point, she also became deputy under Skipstar, then leader! she had a bunch of deputies through her rule, but the most notable is Paledusk!

Paledusk was bloodthirsty (actually, half my clan is bloodthirsty/vengeful for... no reason? strange) so I was immediately like "YES you will murder Timberstar" because i hadn't had like any fun kills yet (i swear i NEVER get any kills... the only time was that absolutely random moment when Springclaw the elder killed Wildsilk the normal warrior during my SpeedrunClan ep), so i got to mediating her with my Evil Mediator Fumbledrop (also bloodthirsty) and then... Paledusk was. Kidnapped by Twolegs.

my plans went down the drains but Timberstar kept having more children despite being elder aged, and she had Lionpaw, who died, then Hermitcurrent who... hasn't died yet! (and then Posyfur who also hasn't died yet!)

and then Paledusk RETURNED from being lost so you bet your ass I shoved her back into the deputy position and started mediating again! but it took MOONS before Paledusk FINALLY KILLED TIMBERSTAR! I even started making Paledusk hate Peach so maybe she'd kill Peach instead or something!

and, as you saw, Paledusk killed Timberstar RIGHT AFTER she gave birth to her kits! And even though Peach officially died from an "infected wound," i think Paledusk killed him too, maybe because Peach tried to defend Timberstar or something. and, since it says that Timberstar and Peach forgot about naming their kits, I think the clan named the kits! it was completely randomly generated that one was named after Timberstar! (honestly, I think Whorlkit should also be named after Peach... y'know what I'm changing it. very rarely do i ever change names but this is my game lmao)

so Peachkit and Timberkit were named after their dead parents! yay! and i kind of think it'd be funny if Paledusk was like their pretend mom, but the clan DOES currently have FOUR other queens with kits in the nursery rn so... Paledusk (or, Palestar, sorry) totally planned it that way so the kits would for sure have someone to nurse them lol.

The other queens are Downdapple, the mother of 4 moon old Flykit, Flaxkit, and Dropletkit; Belugawave the beloved, the mother of 3 moon old Bluekit and Wrenkit; Boragechase, the mother of 2 moon old Finkit, Robinkit, Tremblekit, and Harekit; and finally Basstail, the mother of newborn Sunnykit! so I think Basstail is officially Peachkit and Timberkit's foster mother! (wow there are 12 kits in the nursery rn... and 6 apprentices) (also fun fact, Basstail's mate is Hickoryspots, who is Palestar's new deputy, meaning Peachkit and Timberkit are the deputy's foster kits, so they're likely still in close contact with Palestar... lovely >:3)

FretClan is literally just a clan i open every once in a while and jump a few moons through lmao. i dont pay attention to half the cats but Timberrip was one I paid special attention to <33

[sasdavvero]

Durarara!! x Blue Lock AU

tagging: @lizzieonka @gwennevlis

starting off with:

Isagi Yoichi as Mikado Ryuugamine

Bachira Meguru as Masaomi Kida

Nagi Seishiro as Anri Sononhara

So, to explain a bit:

Isagi and Bachira are them as based on colors: Mikado can be associated with blue or with a transparent color (as are the Dollars) and I think it's the same as Isagi (yes, I know that technically Isagi's color is green, I'm gonna ignore that, don't know how else to explain) both of them seem shy, maybe anxious people, but it becomes obvious that neither of them really is. They are both looking for something that can "change their reality", so I think Isagi's role makes sense (maybe.)

Bachira is yellow as Kida is yellow, both of them are easy going people, can be funny, can be very serious, they both hide their pasts pretty well (although their pasts are very different from one another). I think it fits.

About Nagi and Anri. We know that Anri considers herself as a parasite, and I think this can (faintly) be true with Nagi too. Now,I don't want to belittle the Nagi/Reo ship as a codependent, parasitic relationship (because it's not, not too much) but Nagi did attach himself to Reo only to then move to other people he considered stronger/better mates than Reo. Of course, Nagi and Anri are fundamentally difffrent in their personality, but yeah.

also, I'm not sure I explained well this idea, I don't know how to word rn, so Im sorry, if you have questions you can ask.

basically, they're the main trio

BUT

if Nagi is Anri, then Harima can be Reo, but if Harima is Reo idk who could be Seiji (if Nagi isn't Anri he could be Harima and Reo could be Seiji, but also if this is the case, then idk who could be Anri.)

moving on:

Ego as Shinra Kishitani

Anri Teieri as Celty Sturluson

their dinamic is way off, i know, Shinra is madly in love with Celty, while Ego isn't (at all), but since Anri is basically the only important female character in Blue Lock, I think it could be fun if she were Celty.

just realized that the Reo/Nagi-as-Harima and Anri-as-Celty doesn't fit because of the plastic surgery stuff, but ye. I'll resolve it in another moment.

moving on again:

Rin Itoshi as Aoba Kuronoma

again, I'm not sure with this one, but Rin is the only character with a brother who is also an important character, I have to admit, I don't remember much about the Blue Squares, but I know that Aoba's brother was an important character, so I say that Rin is Aoba.

(I'm only at ep 3 of drrrr (I'm rewatching) so I don't know how Aoba and his brother's dynamic is, but I am sure that it is different than the Itoshi brothers (oh well)).

then:

Barou Shoei as Shizuo Heiwajima

[???] as Izaya Orihara

Hear me out:

Barou gives me a lot of Shizuo vibes: they're strong, their temper is similar, but the problem is that Barou's source of anger is Isagi (mostly)

Of course, if Isagi is Mikado, he cannot be also Izaya (I don't want him to be, he's very different from Izaya (but then again, right now I cannot think about a bllk character who is similar to him, sadly)) so this one is a very unsteady idea.

it might get deleted, as I am having troubles in identifying who could be Izaya

(this might be because I don't remember much about both bllk and drrr (rip))

Another idea that just went to my head:

Michael Kaiser as [maybe] Aoba Kuronoma

This is based on the fact that I hate Kaiser as much as I hate Aoba, so ik that it maybe doesn't make sense.

I'll leave it here anyway.

that's it for now! I'm gonna go continue watching Durarara!! and I'll see if I get new ideas lol

If any of you have something to ask (if you think something is off or if you have more ideas than me about these of other character) you can say it! I'm open to any idea lol

last song: this one 庸人自扰 by xian zi, discovered today while listening to a spotify playlist called 周末清听, v nice acoustic tracks

currently watching: 一念关山 a journey to love (yngs), but i'm kinda only half watching it rn bc i zone out whenever a scene does not involve li tongguang or yu shisan. unsolicited opinion and i'm in the minority here but the main cp has largely bored me since ep 12 bc i'm not a fan of how the show is writing their relationship development now even tho i liked their initial dynamic. ANYWAY i am also thinking abt rewatching some episodes of story of kunning palace since there is a canto dub out now hahaha

three ships: from my most recent fandom acquisitions. li tongguang/ren xin from yngs (bc he is pathetic and full of yearning and toxicity) jiang xuening/zhang zhe from story of kunning palace (bc again another pathetic and yearning man. but jxn is also yearning. and they have so much reincarnation food and potential) gong shangjue/gong yuanzhi from yunzhiyu my journey to you (YET AGAIN another pathetic yearning scrunkly but w a more mischievous and forbidden-ish flavor. this year has been such a good year of fictional yearning characters for me)

favorite color: the spectrum of lavender and lilacs (pink-leaning and blue-leaning tones all welcome <3) is #1 for me but i have also been loving greens so much. and reds. and yellows esp the rich golden tones u would see at sunset. i LOVE COLORS

currently consuming: hot green jasmine tea.. earlier today i got a chai latte on my walk and i also had a matcha cheese tart saved from yesterday :)

first ship: in terms of actual fandom engagement it would be exo kaisoo lol... i'm not really sure what was First Ever In My Life but i think when i read fruits basket i was more partial to tohru/kyo, though i was not super invested overall

relationship status: single and unlikable

last movie: the boy and the heron

currently working on: trying to make a sweater to wear for christmas family dinner but i am not sure i can finish it bc i am just barely splitting for sleeves. in my gdocs, i have pathetic gong yuanzhi dreamfic that is also kind of a canon divergent character study, which i have 5k+ written of but i need to write prob at least 2k more if i finish the remaining scenes i want to include. also i have to cook dinner today but i do not want to killing the chain bc tagging ppl always makes me nervous bc what if i am bothering ppl or what if i accidentally forget someone. so i will just not do it this time sorry for being a killjoy or whatnot

* jotting down some thoughts from old wtFock, seasons 1-3 .... (part 1)

1. Jana

Pros- Jana + Robbe (Belgium Eva + Isak); Girlsquad minus Amber; Zoe + Jana/Zoe + Yasmina/Luca + Yasmina; the first appearance of Senne/Senne + Zoe scenes

Cons- Jana + Jens (Belgium Eva + Jonas), lol

*couldn't remember anything from this og season and the first few eps were fun, then I got annoyed at how the main couple story seemed to drag on; overall it was average-i don't think they changed much and the story was fine, but nothing really blew me away

2. Zoe

*I don't remember much from this og season (gonna be honest, before this, I don't think I finished Noora's season ever, because I can't stand William, lol, and I didn't realize until now).

Pros- Senne feels like a more likeable version of William to me [basing even off of the earlier episodes before both Senne/William's development]. (+ Senne at the beginning of wtFOCK is even still better than William at the end of Skam OG).

Cons- I LOVE Zoe + Senne, but the early ep conflict of her going on a date with him and being in denial is honestly so stupid. It seems like such a simple issue in the world of Skam in comparison to the other seasons for every reimagination. (But I know the later conflicts are gonna break me).

More in depth appreciation of Senne and Zoe

Senne: There were only a few moments in season 1 + early season 2 where I questioned him, but there's just charm and development to Senne that fleshes him out and actually made me love this couple by the end. They don't water down parts of "Senne" that are truly important to his whole "bad boy" personality-like later on (s3) his instinctual crutch of violence towards his brother or his smart-ass comments in season 1, but they also don't make him just a terrible boyfriend like og.

Zoe: could throw water in someone's face for no reason and I would still love her (I'm watching s4 rn although she doesn't do that, so this is kind of in line). She's not perfect and a lot of her push-back with Senne (mainly) can be really unreasonable, but that's what makes her her. I feel like she comes off as more stubborn than og Noora, but I honestly love it and there's subtle changes to her characterization that back it up. She's one of the most headstrong Nooras (obv all of them have this trait), and she's someone that is gonna move in a way that seems proactive to her (ex: her taking the plan B pill before even knowing what happened to her). The only minor thing I thought at one point is that we didn't get enough of Zoe's perspective on things (there are a lot of characters and it's great to see them, but sometimes certain interactions felt it took away in some way, idk). She was just a character I knew I would love immediately in season 1 [& she's great, but as I go on, I do think the writers kind of diminish her potential in some way (even certain choices in s2), but idk how to explain it-although it doesn't ruin her character at all for me, there's just minor minor differences than how she seemed].

Zoenne: I love how they are so different in their points of view; they each are strong in their opinions and it's not resolved too quickly. I honestly see both povs, which is how it should be. And in season 3, I wasn't even mad at the break up (even though it didn't last long)-they are the only Noorhelm imo to address the problem between them (with them being so young + why love's not enough), not make it the end of the world, and still get back together at a later time.

wtFOCK likes to dramatize a lot of their scenes, but for me it works in Zoe's season.

Examples: 1) the text from Senne's brother at the end of the episode revealing the pictures he took per the glass drop; 2) the Senne finds out scene I felt was better directed and acted than the og scene, giving a more emotional feel and lead up to the hallway confrontation in ep 10

other things: Amber is one of the worst Vildes in terms of ignorance, however they've done well with her development and not resolving her problems too quickly [I just know I'll eat my words come season 4/5]. Her seemingly heightened naivety against the other "Vildes" makes so much sense in this scenario.

2 is definitely my fav wtFock season

...not sure I'll watch Season 4, cause I know it's gonna piss me off more than Imane's, but maybe I'll continue for Yasmina only

^ update-started it; I hate it
