Kingdom Hearts 3 - Rage Form

[1im-perfect1]

I love how the interview with the vampire trailer is sexy and mysterious and then the show is a borderline dark comedy about the retelling of vampire history's most cringe fail marriage between the worst case of catholic guilt and eldest daughter syndrome being romanced by a dumpster fire gremlin that thinks more with his heart and dick than his non-existent brain and the coolest character in the whole story is their murderous daughter

The Green knight is like. Its about honour. Its about regret. Its about fear. Its about courage. Its about shame. Its about the cyclical nature of the world. Its about mirrors and parallels. Its about your mom and you. Its about death and decay. Its about choices. Its about magic. Its about trying to avoid the unavoidable. Its about aging. Its about changes you aren’t ready for but have to go through anyways. Its about chances you wanted but were too scared to take. Its about gently kissing and caressing dev patels face. Its about expectations. Its about disappointing people. Its about how you look back at all the things you couldve done differently and forward to the things that may come. Its about the unyielding but loving power of nature and life. Its about being a person.

Please understand that, more often than not, works of fiction are a fictional exploration of concepts and ideas rather than a declaration of morality

the main problem I've had with trying to do 'your PC as other races' art is that when other people have done it, including ryoko kui's changeling comparisons, they always keep the character's original palette-- and that ends up being an immediate stumbling block for me when the first place I'd be inclined to start is with Elyss, whose main point of difference from an ordinary human is that she is green

I used to be very into hazbin and helluva boss but atp idec enough to think about anything but the racism but what I WILL say is that the reason fans are getting mixed signals between the actions and the characters is that viv doesn’t know how to balance seriousness and playfulness, she has a fundamental misunderstanding of how class and race impacts people on a societal and personal scale, and she thinks showing these characters exist is enough activism which allows her to avoid putting effort into the stories of anyone who’s not a white male and getting applauded by her 14 yr old yt fans

The worst part about NOT reading your NoTP's fanfiction (especially if you are a lover of reading fiction) is the amount of good stories you miss out on!!!!!!!!!

Like i am a big IchiHime (Bleach), Harrymione (HP) and Pearlshipping/Amourshipping (Pokemon) fan which meant I was missing out on seriously good FF on Ulquihime, IchiRuki, Romione/Hinny/Dramione, and other Ash ships.

Like do I believe my faves are super OOC in my NoTP fics? Yes.

Do I dislike the idea of NoTP ending together? Also Yes.

But do I believe that the NoTP fic I just begrudgingly read has potential to be an amazing standalone story, and that'd be the most brilliant read had the names been changed? ABSO-FUCKI-LUTELY YES.

I find people who insist you can't tell when something is an actual exploration of a dark topic vs fetish material deeply annoying because like

If you have good reading comprehension. You usually can tell. People aren't nearly as slick/clever about it as they think they are, especially within fandom spaces

[lanaevyssmoved]

i keep getting so tempted to talk about the exploration of toxicity and abuse in fiction and how it can be a genuine recommendation from therapists to help you heal and talk about your experiences while othering yourself, and how if you do it online you're going to make people uncomfortable and you will be judged, so you need to learn how to balance these things, to do what you want to do for yourself while also being mindful of those around you.

but then i remember how disasterous this conversation is whenever it seems to be brought up and i change my mind

[g0blinwitch]

Not to get controversial on main or whatever but while yes, I do generally believe that people should be able to ship whatever the hell they want and not get harassed, I will still never call my self a proshipper. Like sorry man I'm not associating myself with a bunch of people who chant "Kill the cop inside your head!" with zero irony, take over POCD spaces with their fucking discourse, refuse to listen to victims of sexual assault/incest, and turn their heads at every shred of evidence that no actually, fiction can in fact affect reality. Like yeah don't get me wrong I've heard my fair share of stories of antishippers doing kind of shitty things, but I'd rather align myself with supposed "puriteens" than a group of immature people who chant that "they get off from the haterz bc degration kink!!1!!!111!!" over actually responding to criticism.
