The worst feeling is seeing women are my favourite ghy posted everywhere but none of those users who post it even care or support female characters.
You are not wrong!
I don't have a problem with people quoting "women are my favorite guy." I really don't think it's meant to be malicious, it's a joking meme phrase that's meant to elicit a smile due to the unexpected way it's worded. And I don't have a problem with people liking male characters (hell, I myself have had three emotional breakdowns over one of them in the past two days!). What I don't like is that a lot of people I've come across seem to be saying this phrase as some sort of "proof" that they Really Care about women. And many of them. Do not actually seem be making an effort to back up that claim. (And this isn't even just in the context of refusing to engage with female characters-it's avoiding media created by or for women, it's harassing actresses for playing characters they don't like or who "get in the way" of a desired story outcome, and most egregiously, it's the way so many people treat female victims of domestic abuse or other similar kinds of trauma or mistreatment.)
It's not the fact that this meme phrase exists, it's the fact that too many people are hiding behind it as a show of "support" without actually doing anything. And, honestly, it's the specific way that people use it to suggest that we don't still have a rampant misogyny problem, both in and outside of fandom. If women were your "favorite guy," you'd treat them better. (At the very least, you would spend some time actually thinking or talking about them.)

When I say I want Lloyd to be a parent I mean that in the same sense that he never had a very stable parental figure— Everyone kept leaving and leaving Lloyd to figure stuff out on his own, the closest he’s had to a good parent may honestly have been Kai in s5, and even then they were separated for long periods of time. Every adult around Lloyd always had their own issues and realistically could never help with his.
Once I said as a joke that Lloyd was raised by only siblings and how that would impact his own ability to parent but I also meant that for real. Even if the oldest sibling is in charge that still doesn’t substitute for a parent, the relationship will always be different.
And Lloyd having no proper parental figure to show him how to act or handle a bunch of kids? He didn’t even have a childhood of his own, really, constantly put in charge of the world and of others, so how could he be expected not to continually ruin the childhood of these two? He doesn’t want that for those younger than him and who he now has to take care of but there is literally nothing else he knows. There is only so many times he can tell Arin to keep going before it gets too much and he has to tell this kid that Maybe It Just Wasn’t Meant To Be, meanwhile the other one, Sora, is following his footsteps almost perfectly— also bad, because by god he wants these children to be happy in their lives, but what can one do against Destiny at this point?
I want Lloyd to be wholly unprepared while being able to exactly tell where all of this is going, yet thoroughly convinced that there’s nothing he can do about it. Because he can’t. The only thing he can do it try and try and pray to his grandfather that these two kids in the family line will for once not be Destiny’s favorite, knowing it’s already too late.

I have to say that TSAMS history is the worst nightmare for someone who has abandonment complexes with fear of being replaced by their loved ones. Just watching today's episode in LAES where it appears that Old Moon has not only moved in with Sun, but IN THE SAME ROOM as New Moon and was even trying to remove his things XDD How easy it is to replace the members of this family, right? ?
Oof yeah that left a bad mark-
Nexus aint gonna take that too well-

Genuinely intrigued by the potential of Peri and Irep's dynamic but only in a platonic way so I end up not vibing with the fandom's portrayal of it 😔😔😔
(No but listen LISTEN they were kinda-almost-friends when we last saw them in FOP, yeah? Now they're enemies, with both actively fighting each other, and Irep going so far as to try and kill Peri's parents. What happened? When? What influenced it? Did they ever become friends, or did it nosedive the moment the cameras turned off? What about Sammy? How do Irep's parents factor into this? Could it ever be fixed? There's just so much we haven't seen, and romance just feels like too easy a solution to me. Let their friendship be easy to break, fragile. Let them have to work to keep the connection. Fairies and Anti-Fairies are literally made to be opposites, so what happens when two genuinely and truly become friends?)
((and yeah I guess a lot of this could factor into a romantic angle but ALAS the fandom seems to be leaning heavily into the funny toxic yaoi angle 😔 I don't mind it! By all means, please have your very harmless fun! But it ain't my jam :P Perhaps I'll have to write a oneshot myself...))
(((see tags for more rambles i guess. whoops a bitch spoke too much in there as he always does)))

I'm craughing because what in the name of everything holy was papergames/infoldgames thinking localizing Qin Che/Sylus to sound like some discord daddy dom in English...when he doesn't say any of that cringe shit in Chinese/Korean/Japanese.
I never thought I would see a localization as disastrous as late 2019/early 2020 MLQC's green stubble, but Infoldgames looked sideways at Elex and said "nah, we can do much worse than green stubble"
but hey I guess I can draw a parallel here:
Victor 🤝 Sylus
getting fucked over by localization and getting wildly mischaracterized by the ENG fandom
