#Vil's crush started developing there /jk

[mellosdrawings]

At least Jamil has his own solo rap in the song. Vil may be the lead but you couldn't help but like the change tune in Jamil.

Dunno if that's a common thing or not, but in highschool we used to call those idols who can be lead singers, lead rappers, and lead dancers "Triple Threat". Plus the cookie points if they're cute and charming and good actors, etc.

When I found out Jamil could rap, I was immediately brought back to my highschool Kpop era and thought about it.

I guess his only weakness is that he isn't the most charismatic. He would still make one hell of an idol.

I need to do that Idol!AU I've had in my drafts for weeks.

i so badly want to fight this,,, but i am at a loss for words. mouth opened and closed like a FISH. also, i am finding that i require reading your meta as to why you despise sirius i am genuinely curious!!!

i think jk handled a lot of things very poorly and simplistically, and it’s the reason why fandom created many headcanons which somehow started being accepted as canon and everything snowballed to a point where even when it comes to characters you know NOTHING about, fandom has drilled headcanons into everyone’s brains about them. marlene mckinnon is an incredible example of this. we know next to nothing about her and yet because in the early days of fanfiction marlene was constantly written as the spit-fire (usually blonde) on and off love interest of sirius black, that’s how many still write her today. that image of marlene mckinnon has - in my opinion erroneously and tragically - become the norm, and i personally don’t like to interact with  such interpretations of marlene mckinnon. 

but obviously this didn’t just happen with characters we have little information on. sirius black, for example. fandom often writes him as handsome and a rough around the edges heartthrob who still manages to get a smile out of you in the end... which genuinely baffles me. sirius was an arrogant bully who humiliated those he disliked often unfairly so; that really doesn’t sound like crush material to me.

now. regarding why i dislike sirius. man i already wrote a pretty long post about this years ago on my other blog but i can’t find it so here goes nothing:

my intense dislike for sirius can be summed up by the fact that i have a very visceral and intense hatred of bullies, and sirius was a bully. even after he acknowledged that he was reckless and arrogant in his youth he did so almost in a proud way. even as an adult he never left those bullying tendencies behind. 

the truth is, i could wax poetics about sirius just as much as i could trash him because 1) i love characters that feel realistic and have depth & 2) i like sirius as character. i understand his motivations, i understand his personality, i understand his development and lack of it, i see his  arrested development, i get it all  - it doesn’t mean that i like him as a person. sirius feels realistic to me, he’s a good character, which is why people with personalities alike to sirius’ are people i want extremely far away from me. the fact that he feels realistic to me is the reason why i’m not fond of him. 

you don’t have to like a character as a person to like a character as, well, a character. for example, i'm not overly fond of mcgonagall either. she’s extremely interesting, i like her as a character, but as a person? she’s extremely biased and i don’t mesh well with people who work that way. admittedly, she did at least in one occasion admit she had been wrong in the past - she can recognize her mistakes BUT  i also have a intense dislike for people who mourn things that - over the course of years - they could have done better but didn’t. too little too late, your sorry would have made a massive difference then but it means nothing now; the damage is done.

naturally that it could be argued that i’m being biased right now. my intense dislike for characters with these traits is a product of people i’ve encountered who were similar to them -  my own life experiences. ultimately, it pretty much all boils down to: “i wouldn’t mesh well with these kinds of people - who are often glorified by the fandom in unrealistic ways - and i appreciate not going near them thanks!”. 

that said, it’s very difficult for me to genuinely hate a character - as both a character and a person (because, again, i love realistic characters and realistic characters are nuanced and they do good things and bad things). frollo from the hunchback of notre dame and cruella de vil are the only ones coming to mind at the moment. i despise them as characters and as people, and to me that’s what makes them some of disney's best villains (actually, frollo is unbeatable - he’s the most terrifying of them all in my opinion).

i hope all of this makes sense and ty for asking me to elaborate!
