i think people who are big fans of the dd tv show that show no interest in the comics r boring. like the show is so. Normative yk? like the fact that they didn't understand matt and his motivators so they defaulted to religion. the fact that they had to continuously sexualise the disabled main character (the writers and actors were literally and explicitly making jokes about how many shirtless scenes there were and how they literally had to turn down a few 😧) for him to be an appealing one. the fact that they dumbed down the way his blindness worked and basically made it Seeing Part Two. the fact that they played into the fetishism of chinese culture for The Hand and then they?? abandoned it because they didn't want the 'main' villain to be a person of colour lmao. the fact that the ableism is the same kind of ableism in the comics like they hardly tried to be better. the fact that they gave karen such a different and objectively better (imo) backstory but 🤓☝️ instead of making her grow on her own continuously teased a romantic relationship in which with every instance, of said persuasion she acted out of character because they literally couldn't make it work other but would not leave it alone because of 'comic accuracy'. the fact that there are so many explicit shot for shot, 1:1, comic to show translations but not one of them prompted you to open a book? ewwwww

I think a lot about how Vash and Knives are perceived and how they actually are. Vash is the one who pushes his feelings back and holds himself together constantly in order to keep pushing forwards, despite how open/silly he seems on the surface. Knives comes across as colder and more logical, but his decisions and conclusions are all driven by his rage and fear and emotions.
Knives makes himself out to be the reasonable one who knows more about the world than Vash (at least in Tristamp), but Vash is actually the one out there experiencing things and learning about life and humanity, meaning he's probably much wiser. This specifically is one of my favorite things about Trigun because it's just so hopeful. Vash is the one who sees the world and everything it has to offer (he was running all over the place for 150 years, dude!), and he's also the one who believes so resolutely that humans are good. I think that's absolutely beautiful.

Hmmm... very interesting to me that Taylor Swift is trending rn and yet for some reason no one in that tag is complaining that her trending is taking away from what's going on in Palestine and what's happening in Rafah. And yet for some reason, people couldn't seem to shut up in the Kendrick Lamar tag when he was trending about how the whole beef was just two celebrities beef (it's much deeper than that) and were making up theories abt how the whole thing was taking attention away from Palestine and everyone talking about it should feel ashamed of themselves (every single account I saw in that tag was posting about Palestine too).
And the thing that's really getting me is that Taylor is trending bc of a change to the Eras tour. An objectively unimportant change to make, especially when compared to what's going on in Rafah. But that's not what gets hate, no, it's the predator getting called out in an industry known for exploitation by one of the biggest artists in said industry. The racism isn't even implicit atp...
Edit: ok so just to clarify no this wasn't meant to insinuate that Taylor trending was some setup of Israel (that's just... like objectively wrong lmao), it was to point out that when it comes to a black artist in hip hop (a predominantly non-white genre) people wouldn't let fans of said genre just enjoy the music and shenanigans happening in that genre and that's it's hypocritical to act like people can't care abt two things at once, but they can enjoy their white "feminist icon" pop star (a much whiter genre) without anyone bringing hate into that tag. like i put in the tags, the anti taylor tag is for filtering bc i honestly don't see this post as particularly negative for taylor swift, it's a critique of the fans. and i'm calling out swifties particularly bc the ones who were saying that the beef was manufactured to take eyes off of rafah were swifties, and the ones being racist in the kendrick tag were swifties. i'm not exaggerating like almost every hate post i saw mentioning the beef being manufactured was a swiftie account. it is weird to act like people caring about very serious allegations happening in a genre of music isn't reason enough to make a big deal of the situation and go INTO THE TAG and complain, but it is especially hypocritical and frankly quite infuriating to see the same people who complained about a big deal of a situation being a "distraction" from gaza and then blog abt taylor swift . it's fine if u want to blog abt music u like, honestly idc abt that, if that's all u do then this legit isn't targeted at u, this is targeted at the swifties who came into the kendrick tag to complain and then went back to talking abt swift two seconds later like they weren't doing the same thing they were complaining abt two minutes before. (sry for the long explanation, but i just don't want ppl taking my words out of context and i rlly tried to word this all clearly, but idk man sometimes u think u word something well and then nobody undrestands wtf u were on abt so i wanted to make sure it was clear) also, if you're a zionist or israel supporter, i will be blocking u if u interact with this post. ok ty bye bye

my god, people weren't joking when they said gortash is desperate to convince durge to ally with him. i genuinely think that cutscene was at least twice as long as it was compared to my tav playthrough.
also "make our pact anew" is fascinating. i wouldn't have thought divine oaths stop applying simply because one participant loses their memory, so i wonder how durge got away with killing ketheric. unless myrkul's intervention, in a durge run, is because of that?
