#UGH SOMEONE PLEASE GET IT

[foolishsweet]

I don't trust the people who say this card is ugly/boring I really don't. People don't get this card like I do.

Unlike Rui, Emu and Meiko who have artificial sources of light in order to create ambiance, Tsukasa can't rely on it, the lights are too far from the center of the stage, he should need to stand on the spotlight. And yet here and now the spotlight won't focus on him, so instead he is gonna take over the stage tru his pure presence. He looks at the audience like he is ready to pounce and devour it whole at any moment. He gives way tru the shadows and dominates the space he has. The confetti ribbons fall around him in celebration, welcoming him completely. Bc when it comes to the stage, to the theater, both the lights and the dark belong to him and make him shine on his own all the brightest. but people don't get it THEY DON'T GET HER LIKE I DO I'M SO SORRY BBG THEY DON'T GET IT SHE LOOKS SO COOL UGH 😩

The name of the outfit is phantasmagoria btw. This is phantasmagoria Tsukasa (or Shadowkasa for short if you will, for the kasaverse). He went from King, to commoner, to jester, to literally just a shadow. my mans disappearing good god.

On a funnier note I really think they went like:

employee: boss, we did a dark choreography with wxs in Love Ka!

boss: splendid! This 3DMV is one of our best ones yet! but do they have outfits for that?

employee: ahhh no we don't :(

boss: mmmmm...Hey Tsukasa mind going thru it for your next focus event?

employee: sir idk if one clown outfit is good enough, we need one for Rui.

boss: what about his fes?

employee: ...

boss: ...

boss: Tsukasa, mind going thru it twice?

My unpopular opinion is that in languages with grammatical gender like french, it does make sense for Murderbot to be referred to by whatever pronoun is usually used for robots or constructs. (In french, therefore, grammatical masculine.) Because there are no traditional « it » pronouns in these languages for objects, and while there are neo-pronouns, they are things one must choose for themselves. Do you honestly think MB actually spent time thinking about its pronouns?! No it didn’t. On forms it picks « non-applicable ». When people ask it what pronouns they should use, its honest opinion is « why do you even need to talk about me. Just don’t fucking do that. Don’t think about me either. Just fucking stop perceiving me altogether! »

Thinking about what pronouns to use probably makes it way more uncomfortable than letting people call it what they’ve already been calling it. Making a conscious choice about its identity? And telling other people about it??? No thanks bye, it’s just gonna walk into the ocean now, see you never.

Lbr it probably thinks the only bots that get fancy pronouns are comfort units, and the pronouns are probably shoved into them by humans same as everything else. MB would meet a bot using a neopronoun and it would wish it could barf. Because in a language like french, he/him and she/her, when applied to objects, ARE fulfilling the function of the english « it ». Nobody is saying the table is a woman or related to feminity in any way outside of stand-up comedy; when it comes to objects grammatical gender really has fuckall to do with human gender even if we use the same words. Even animal species names have grammatical gender and everyone gets that there are male and female turtles even if the word « turtle » is a female word, it’s not that confusing.

(I know this is strange when your language has different pronouns for people and for objects, but understand that english uses the same word to indicate if I’m addressing one or many people, and that is confusing to me.)

TL;DR; stop harassing international fans for not getting the correct MB pronoun in english right off the bat. Yes in english calling it « he » or « her » or « them » is upsetting because it’s projecting an identity unto it. But same goes for trying to get a foreign language translation to use a pronoun intended to express or showcase an identity (or even a lack of one!). Murderbot has not thought about it this hard, refuses to think about it this hard -> and that is its only canon accurate gender identity.

i have so many things to say about how the android revolution was handled in dbh, especially how most of the conflict was around markus’s choices to be violent or peaceful. idrk how to phrase it all but like. ugh it just bugs me how the androids Have to be peaceful and cooperative in order to gain freedom

a huge part of the revolution is ‘we can’t stoop to the same level as the human’ and it makes me so mad. like yeah sure, murder and hurting ppl isn’t good. but protests for rights have never been peaceful. you don’t gain rights by being peaceful and perfect. i just hate it so much. plus, the game has obvious parallels to the civil rights movement (even if david cage says it’s not. it is. even if it wasn’t, this game is political no matter how u view it. the topic of rights and freedom will always be political) and to imply that the android revolution has to be near perfectly peaceful to succeed is crazy. girl does he think the civil rights movement was entirely peaceful?? someone put him and all the other writers in a god damn history class

not to mention markus. i think the writers saw him as like the equivalent to mlk jr, with the parallels to the civil rights movements and such, which is crazy considering they turned him into their Savior and led the whole movement. like. side eye. idk i love markus’s story, but i think the whole revolution and being turned into a savior robo jesus was so so bad and tone deaf (thank u david cage..) . and the whole revolution TOOK PLACE IN A WEEK. A WEEK. THATS INSANEE. A WHOLE REVOLUTION IN A WEEK IS INSANE. i understand that a game needs to end but we don’t need to see Every Single Second of the story!! spread it out over a month, give characters time to form relationships, let the plot thicken, let things get tense, let things simmer and develop!!! not everything needs to happen on screen!!! one of my biggest gripes about the game is its timeline </3

i know i just rambled a bunch but god it annoys me so much. markus’s story was done so wrong for so many reason, and as a queer person who’s largely interested in protests and movements for rights and such, it just makes me so mad how badly and idealistically it was created. it feels like it was written by humans, by OPPRESSORS, dreaming of a utopia where they are still good people. :/ which i suppose it IS in a way — but still u get my point

EDIT: here are some more things i said in the reblog a that i want more ppl to see

i hate how north’s violence and anger is seen as a bad thing. i hate how markus never gets a moment to rest or interact with people outside of conversations that love the plot forward. i hate how jericho just accepts that they’ll die before they’re violent in order to ‘win.’ i hate that ‘winning’ is even a thing in this context. i hate that androids constantly have to be better than humans and not stoop to they’re level. according to these writer, they can’t be angry in the face of their oppression and that SUCKS.

when i played this game with my cousins, we were so desperate to make every pacifist choice in order to raise our public opinion so we could win. we could tell from the first few markus scenes, he wasn’t allowed to be angry or mad or hateful or violent if he wanted to have close to the same respect humans got. and that SUCKED. it made us feel like we were just taking hit after hit after hit and never accomplishing anything.

i love this game and i love markus (he’s probably my fav character) but the way the revolution is handled is awful considering how it’s such a metaphor for oppression and oppressed ppl. it’s not even rlly a metaphor — it’s just direct symbolism. like. androids are oppressed yet the only way they can fight back without getting murdered and ran down is by being entirely peaceful. there should have been a Balance. you should have valences the violence and the peace in order to get a good outcome. not all one way and all the other way. the game also should’ve been longer than a WEEK. bc that’s rlly a huge issue with it.

outside of maybe the kiss with north and returning to carl’s house/grave, markus doesn’t get a single moment to exist without the revolution and the plot. even those two scenes kinda serve the plot. meanwhile, connor gets moments like looking through hank’s desk, breaking into hank’s house, talking with hank on the bridge to develop his character and relationships outside of the plot. markus doesn’t get that (kara kinda does? but instead of being tied to the plot, she’s just tied to kara the whole time, which can be just as bad).

markus’s friendships never felt… real? they largely felt like it was just bc of all the jericho stuff and the revolution. all his friends just served a narrative purpose. north was the violent choices, josh was the peaceful choices, and simon… well i’ll be honest, simon died rlly early in my play through so i barely knew him. but from what i’ve seen, he’s the ‘cowardly’ route. honestly markus and simon’s friendship seems the most realistic since simon is constantly sacrificing himself for markus and such. which is saying something considering north is markus’s love interest (and that came out of NO WHERE)

with markus and north’s romance, it feels so forced. not to say i hate norkus, but it’s so fast and sudden and u can just Tell it’s for plot reason — which is proved by the kiss at the very end of the game. they had no time to get to know each other or form a relationship outside of the android revolution and keeping jericho together and alive. it gives the vibes of ‘in 2 months we’ll realize we were just in a relationship because he felt we had to be, not because we liked each other romantically’ which, i’ll be honest that vibe is awesome, but considering that was Not what the writers were going for, it falls very flat.

all in all i love markus’s story but by good did the writers fuck it up. get me behind the pencil, i’ll do it myself

Buddie being definitely and completely platonic and heterosexual totally not flirting at all no tension whatsoever

[im-sorry-what-ii]

yknow the classic uni professors au, the one where prof A spends half their time talking about their spouse and prof B has never said a word about their personal life ever but then it turns out theyre pining or married or whatever, yeah i think theres a chronic lack of those in the top gun fandom. bc the classic icemav teaches at top gun meets no homophobia au is the *perfect* setup and i cant believe no ones written it

[satorisoup]

the most annoying thing about me/cfs is that it's more like 10 different illnesses in a trenchcoat. i'll wake up with a new symptom and be like "oh okay, guess that's what we're doing today"

[vodhalla]

istg theres no better way to get into a piece of media than by watching/reading/listening to it with somebody who already knows and adores said thing. The joy and excitement is INFECTIOUS.

[starryyvenus]

What do you mean tilda was kivas mother???? What do you mean the story she wanted to hear was the story of her and her husband????? What do you mean kivas literally actively betraying jaren and naari as we speak????? Like what do you fucking mean

[fraudefiscal]

is it weird that im so delusional about jeffdave, i got to see more clips yesterday and i genuinely believe there's something because fuck. you don't talk like that with just some friends., that's not normal friend behavior. their blatant almost direct flirting, they are doing this in our faces they know what they're doing.

dave joking about jeff spitting in his cock, jeff watching the stream on his idiot tv and like waiting for dave, their jokes all of their twitter interactions, how comfortable they feel with each other and the way they laugh when the other is around I hope im not developing any type of mental illness or some sort of conspiracy-obssesion because i cannot be making this up...... they're queerbaiting me god

i wish im not getting brain damage do you know how much this means to me i might take a hostage and blow up a building just to know if something REAL is there but tbh deep down i really know it..... jesus was killed for saying the truth

maybe they are aware of their relationship. maybe in a weird and not-so-aware way, like their bond is so close it has developed in something only both lf them can understand, they haven't even set they're dating and maybe that won't change, it's not your traditional couple, it's weird and it'd take a long time to understand it, and maybe,, they don't want people to understand......

(mgv) wilson in pre-rut and still working but it being more and more obvious to the ducklings (who are not in tune with his cycle like that freak house is, thanks) because he starts following house around more than usual, sometimes even getting physically closer to him when it's not necessary (and house lets him most of the time too. not all the time though. if he gets especially annoyed he'll snip at him and wilson backs off with his head ducked which is..... atypical pre-rut alpha behavior but also their friendship is atypical so whatever)

it's so bad sometimes they even catch wilson smiling while he pretends not to notice while house steals his wallet so he can empty out the vending machine for his favorite snacks. later when they're alone in house's office, house pulls out a couple bags of wilson's favorites he got while he was raiding the machine and tosses them over. the look on wilson's face is so dopey that house can't help but snicker and tell him to put in his notice of leave for his cycle soon because he is really swimming in it now

[habizuh-studios]

No. No, you don't understand. I love him. He makes me go crazy for him. He deserved better. He doesn't get enough love. I love him so fucking much. He doesn't have anyone- people think his love interest is the one who killed is family. I want him to suffer so bad. I want to experience his nightmares with him, I want him to have self-esteem issues. Please. Please fucking give me so more Lang Qianqiu centric shit. *gets shot 129 times* FUCK YOU!! Listen. Listen to me. I am a simple girl. I see Lang Qianqiu not getting bashed on and having a good role and nice characterization? I fucking click. Okay?! Do you hear me!? I LOVE LANG QIANQIU, I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM
