just a quick reminder that if POC and black people look 'bad' in your artstyle, then your artstyle just fucking sucks. (and you also might be racist but anyway)

I really do dunk on villain stans a lot but the thing is like. I genuinely do not care on any sort of moral level if you love a villain, or villains generally. They are pretend. The murder and the war crimes aren't real. Do whatever.

The issue is that like, this is a person the narrative is telling you to root against, and that it's okay because they are pretend. That doesn't mean they can't have sympathetic qualities but it does mean that as a rule the story is telling you "hey, here are the heroes who oppose this person, cheer for them" and also "you should boo and hiss when this motherfucker comes on stage" and a lot of people who like villains will look at everyone else and go "why the FUCK are you booing and hissing don't you see they have TRAUMA" instead of acknowledging the big "TIME TO BOO AND HISS" signs being thrown out by the story and saying "bring it on."

And I suppose you can argue that this is an overly simplistic way of looking at it, but if we're dealing with a story with at least some reasonably clearly delineated heroes and villains you're not intelligent for trying to pretend it's more complicated than it is. I'm not talking about the gray areas of antagonist who could be persuaded otherwise, nor antihero but straight up "this is the bad guy, we all but have arrows pointing at them saying it". Like, really, a lot of people who stan villains don't seem to do it for the love of the game, which I would respect, but because of a sour grapes situation with the heroes, or because they're in their edgy "subversion automatically means you're the smarter one" phase.

Anyway my point is I don't care if you woobify a villain for any sort of moral reasons but I do think that if you do so, you're a coward and not terribly good at understanding stories. I also don't care from any sort of moral standpoint if you enthusiastically cheer on the villain, but if you act confused or mad that most people aren't with you on that, I think you're an idiot and not terribly good at understanding stories.

i dont think striker and alastor are characters who are "precious senpais who did nothing wrong" i just don't think they're as reprehensible as valentino or stella. their actions aren't excusable, no, but they aren't near that level of abhorrent.

the snap cube eggman pissing on the moon thing is a million times funnier when you know there’s an official sonic manga where eggman pisses on amy

DONT EVER JOKE ABOUT CREATING A SHIP IT WILL BECOME UNIRONIC WITHIN 2 SECONDS

[shift-shaping]

personally if it turned out one of the voice actors for a game that's marketing itself as progressive and otherwise has a progressive cast was a far right extremist I would not mind the game delaying release by a significant amount or even raising its ticket price to hire someone who doesn't believe women should be subservient to men and that being queer is part of a woke mind virus in order to re-record said voice actor's lines. but that's just me.

eta: do not put stupid shit on my post. i said 'if.' also: games do this, though replacing someone with as many lines as davrin would be a major undertaking. that's why i would be willing to wait.

it really is hilarious how little objective quality has to do with how much I'll love an RPG. larian makes games that are objectively very good, but don't really resonate with me personally when I play them, for whatever reason. bioware makes games of wildly erratic levels of quality that cause my soul to vibrate at pitches heard only by dolphins and god.

i think if you choose to ignore nautica’s clearly written implied romance with skids ur doing a huge disservice to her character

I cannot wait for Stranger Things to end and for these boring ass takes to dry up.

Stancy antis when they take the words of a man who has barely just met Nancy and never even MET Steve as gospel: 🥰🥰🥰

Stancy antis when a character says something in season 1 of a 5 season show DESPITE watching character growth happen on their screen that NEGATES THE TWO MINUTES OF DIALOGUE THEY REPEATEDLY CALL BACK TO: 🥰🥰🥰

Stancy antis when Nancy is shown to ACTUALLY be interested in Steve again, when Steve is ACTIVELY being portrayed as the type of partner she wants currently in life and beyond, when she is struggling to connect with Jonathan but EASILY vibing with Steve, when Nancy is adrift and bereft and Steve shows up and anchors her, when Steve ACKNOWLEDGES that they weren't right for each other the first time around but maybe they are now: 🙈🙈🙈🙉🙉🙉

Okay, season 3

I found it tiring and repetitive. didn't need 10 episodes. 8 was enough. just like previous seasons.  

Carmen in this maniac episode was almost insufferable to watch. Everybody on here was waiting for him to be down, but the writers could’ve done better, and Christopher Storer could’ve shown us better.

First of all, his relationship with Claire wasn't that deep. I know it's all in Carmy’s head, the way he visualizes her etc, and yes I have a high degree of myopia, but this was not shown in s2. It makes me mad watching this lack of commitment with his partner and sister in an opening business.

I care about Camy, and it’s so tragic that he can’t get out of this cycle of abuse. but I’m a human, and sometimes I really wanna beat him. I know he's trying, but this man needs to take his head off his ass asap. Showing his situation with one hundred flashbacks was monotonous to watch. 

About Sydney, I’m so mad how they wrote her this season. Are they gonna end this show without showing us a center episode of her??? this season was a perfect moment to develop ONE OF THE LEAD CHARACTER OF THE SHOW!!!

My girl was passing for so much and alone, but the writers were like, nah, let’s show bad comedy with the Faks instead. Put a woman to babysit Carmen and Richie, two grown-up men for the entire season, it’s insane. (she's so much better than me)

I love Sydney so much, and we know she would rather get a shot than talk about her private life with anyone, but I need her to fight. I need her to speak. The panic attack scene breaks my heart, I don't think is all carmy's fault. It was a mix of everything. Fear of the future, insecure about everything, thinking about her found family and the possibility of losing them, starting a new business all over again (when she spoke on s2 that she didn't have in her to try again), fear of failure again. But I wish they had shown it better from her pov. They should have improved this part. 

I ended this season with a bitter feeling. It’s not a good writing job to have ten episodes of preparation to be resolved in the future. 

(And since Christopher Storer likes Taylor Swift so much, he should take all this hate train and enter his reputation era, and give us a better script in s4. #i think the bear is gonna finish in s4, so lets be productive and finish the show in a good way. please, all this with Joana Calo by his side, let her write!)

I loved Tina’s episode (thank god Ayo directed the best one), ice chips were insanely good. Abby Elliott and Jaime Lee Curtis!!!!!111!1 and the first episode was so well edited and directed. i love those actors very much so, they are so talented.

Currently so upset about how a character died that I'm considering making a tournament just for her

[im-smart-i-swear]

i always assumed he cut his hair with a pair of shitty scissors in front of his bathroom mirror at like 2am

[swiftfootedachilles]

mickey constantly wanting to be ians coworker sooooo bad his first legal job was at the kash n grab, he would go to the club just to watch ian at work, constantly did scams with him, begged that warehouse guy to let him do the same job as ian, and then he eventually started a business with him

[ilynpilled]

people being unable to talk about anything other than “is jaime gonna fail or succeed at #redemption” (synonymous with is he gonna have a happy ending? for some reason) for the past decade when discussing his character like what if i blew up a building
