#he just didnt have enough to redeem lmao

[thestobingirlie]

it’s still wild to me that i’ve seen a lot of people say that steve harrington had a “zuko level redemption arc” and i just??

steve was a normal teenage boy and had, like, one bad day and then went “aw nuts. i should apologise.” that isn’t… anything like zuko’s redemption arc lmao.

[todayisafridaynight]

You probably don't want to talk about Ebina anymore butttttt as someone who absolutely ADORES Aoki and Sawashiro, I also felt very strongly about this shit. Like of all of the people to have be Ebina's father, Arakawa was the worst fucking person for it because it also doesn't make sense for the timing either. Like you're telling me Mr "massacres an entire clan for his woman" slept with another woman other than Akane around the same time??? Like I get he was young but like that shit is never explained? Just here ya go, here is someone related to Ichi because?

Honestly I feel like RGG felt like they fucked up in killing off Masato but wanted that dramatic parallel for no reason at the end of 7. It honestly would have been so easy to let Masato live since he technically died off screen anyway. During 8 I would just open up the character screen to look at Aoki or Sawashiro like look at what we had my dude.

I really enjoyed 8 in a lot of ways but others made me want to throw shit. Like I got way too excited seeing Sawashiro and then he fucked off for most of the game and then when he comes back, we don't even get much closure with him anyway? Just tortured and shit after he tried to redeem himself.

I dunno, sorry for dumping this here, I'm just an old lady yelling at the clouds cuz they fucked up with my boys

NO PLEASE YOURE TOTALLY VALID MY FRIEND LMAO i thought arakawa being the father- even if sensical from a quick glance- just made me agitated

like this is quite literally the same game we watch arakawa slaughter an entire clan and his patriarch because he loved this woman so much. i get that arakawa implied himself to be promiscuous over the years, but when he was with akane ? i also get that his patriarch could have REALLY been on his ass to be with his daughter, but arakawa made it clear he did all he could to turn her away (i.e. in his words, 'doing everything he could to avoid courting her'). clearly not enough if you ended up havin a kid with her By Accident lmao

it does conjure up a funny mental image of just. arakawa going home to akane like 'babe i had to fuck my boss's daughter today it was terrible :((((' but being tbh about it its just so jarring from what we knew

im a broken record in saying making ebina related to arakawa was literally for nothing but it was literally For Nothing. i dont think aoki could have had a significant plot point in 8 if he lived but it would have been preferable to just have him sit in jail if it meant we didnt get ebina LOL

[zerguette]

In the hv au, June Julying is honestly kind of a jerk. I haven't developed her much, but in terms of personality she's not really the nicest coworker. She also fears Hershell Proctor's position as chairman

I mention this cuz hehe :] I read Herald's personality again and thought about how they'd be siblings. June and Herald probably snarked at eachother alot growing up.... Also, maybe first I wanna know which ministry of the TVOG would he and Nikolai work at?

Also consider them getting paired for Ministry of Education jobs: Stealing historical library books that could potentially reveal the TVOG's true nature? Nooo, that's not what they're doing! They're simply taking the books to store in the TVOG archive for safe keeping! Forever unavailable to read :)

!!!!! -implodes- lore rambling omg here i go hi again,

I think to understand Herald i should do a little synopsis on who is Harold, first of all if iirc Hershell Proctor is the hv version of Major Panzer so thats SO FUN. In my lore, June July is in Panzer's division and she for a time gets sent to Galeforce's division and base where she spends time with Harold and well, has a deep friendship with Calvin Bukowski (platonic!!!!). This being said, who is Harold, he is another random engineer who works alongise the engineering department of the govt (Where you find well, Andrew Cobbler! the Big Boy Engineer :D and Dijonle!). Harold has helped in the making of Big Boy but he suffered a big accident :(, they didnt check very well a rope and one part of big boy fell over him causing my boy to lose the movility of his legs. He almost didnt make it out alive, and June and Major Panzer were checking on his condition as same as my govt doctor twins. These twins are also from the engineering department! working in what is biomechanical/biomedical engineering, while Harold was in process of staying alive, the doc twins and Andrew helped with making a new equipment. It took lot of time but this equipment allows Harold to be able to walk (Very slowly) for small periods of time! is connected to his spine, it works like uh, another spine lmao.

Even tho, Harold got left a bit behind in working, mostly left alone he's always smiled towards others, he feels bored! he can't do much but he at least does something, designing blueprints, systems work and so on. He's really a good man, a real man, he wouldnt think twice in helping a toppat if they were really in danger, Harold has no enemies, he doesnt judge anyone. You can be a criminal but if you truly show Harold you've got a heart and want to redeem, he will lend you a hand. He's also trans! He was able to transitioning but he doesnt have enough money for top surgery so he uses a binder (I hc that he and June are just two sibligns living alone depending on each other! they don't have much money and Harold's priority is seeing his sister smile, he can wait, but his little sister means more than anything)

SO. (The) Herald Julying, hes THE OPPOSITE! not totally, but Herald thinks his accident was done on purpose because i think he wasnt the best worker at the tgovt, maybe actually questioned a lot what they were doing (whatever is equal to Engineering in the ministers is where Herald is gonna be! or just, the same Minister as HV! Andrew Cobbler and HV! Dijonle), and maybe angered the chairmen ^^ who knows. Even tho, i like he and June snarking a lot at each other!, maybe they fight a lot, but maybe thats their new dynamic, i usually write Harold and June being really caring siblings, so Herald and June Julying can be the opposite but they still care about each other. Compared to Harold, who has 0 romance experience (aroace spectrum, Herald has had thousand of ex's! and actually his design comes from young Harol'd design, specially his partying outfit, they share the same tatoo! I FORGOT ADDING, they also share the same eye scar! i didnt draw it cuz im dumb. Anyways, Herald is very troublesome! He gets into fights and angers easily because his paranoia won't let him breathe in peace, he will always think they caused his accident on purpose, now he's sitting on a stupid wheelchair unable to do much, kind of a punishment. Harold when he realized he couldnt walk without using an equipment, he was like ''Damn, anyways, how's everyone doing''. Herald instead, he feels hes prob angered tgovt, i think he'll still use his equipment but maybe it'll be a bit broken so he would fall manytimes, but Nikolai now is 24/7 at his side! (Lewis just visited Harold from time to time), He's gonna take care of Herald until they can escape.

And Herald even if his siblinghood with June is not the best or ends being not the best, he'll still care for her^^ Herald can be really a bitch, a troublesome guy, angry, doesnt trust on anyone, but thats his sister, dont take her away from him. Also Herald wouldnt lend his hand to anyone, he helps! but he also judges a lot, and it'll be more difficul to convince him to help the real good guys (One thing is escaping, another thing is knowing who the real guys are)

Also Nikolai works prob, in the Minitry of Defense or that! he doesnt work on the same department as Herald :3, their counterparts worked on different things, Lewis was a kind of sub-captain who watched over others soldiers. But with how Nikolai is, i think the Ministry of Defense fits him completely, he'll still sneak and run to visit Herald everyday o//

And I've actually imagined Herald working mostly to design weird stuff for the chairmen cuz thats what he does, maybe he designs guns for Victoria Grin :D, but he's mostly everywhere, and he can also if asked erase any evidence that can demolish the tgovt 'fake heroism' from internet or whatever, hes good at any systems as i said ^^[Herald is a nerd just like Harold, he will probably be thinking many years ahead, or he just has deep adhd now who knows idk (And would totally help June stealing books, hes on a wheelchair but dont challenge him, Herald dislikes getting called useless)

How c!Fundy is actually "Choose people, not sides incarnate"

This is an old analysis about c!fundy that i made after doomsday about how c!Fundy is literally the embodiment of c!Ranboo's "Choose people, not sides" belief. Idk if people have already made analysis like this and I'm not really good at making things like this but Ive just decided to just put it out there anyway lol

You know how Ranboo is always on about "Choose people, not sides"?

Fundy is literally "Choosing people, not sides" incarnate, and here are my reasons as to why:

1. He has always chosen Wilbur- from the very beginning, a lot of what Fundy does is for Wilbur. When it was first established that Fundy is Wilbur's son, Wilbur made it clear that he didn't have to fight in the war because he's the first natural born citizen of Lmanberg, but Fundy fought in the war anyways and that reason is Wilbur, because he wanted Wilbur to acknowledge him, to actually see him as a man and what he can do and not just baby him and belittle him. The only times he actually went against him was during The Election, where Fundy ran his own party with Niki, and not only just because he doesn't align with any other party's ideals during that time, but also again to prove himself to his father, that he is actually capable of taking care of the nation that Wilbur made for him. The second time was when he turned into a spy under Schlatt’s reign to destroy Manberg from the inside, all of that has been his attempts to get Wilbur to finally notice him. You can argue that it made the relationship worse considering that Fundy had to publicly disown Wilbur as his father in order to keep up his facade, but it doesn't really change the fact that that was another one of Fundy’s attempt to be given the recognition he wanted from Wilbur, no matter how badly it backfired.

The only time where Fundy felt like he was betrayed by Wilbur was when he died, as seen with his confrontation with Ghostbur and his conversation with Quackity, Tubbo and Ghostbur while they were rebuilding New Lmanburg. He wasn't mad at Wilbur for blowing up L’Manburg, he wasnt mad that Wilbur didnt choose him as the new president, he wasnt mad that Wilbur ended up betraying their side, he was mad that Wilbur chose to die.

2. He was the first OG Lmanbergian to ever forgive Eret- the entirety of the Lmanbergians were betrayed by Eret inside the Final Control Room, and because of this both Wilbur and Tommy have always been hostile with Eret afterwards. Tubbo didn't really interact with them a lot during that, so i can't properly gauge how Tubbo felt about them. But Fundy was the first person to approach them again, starting with the harmless pranks that they both do to each other. Fundy was the first person that trusted them again even after Eret had been the cost of their first lives and had nearly cost Lmanberg its freedom.

Eret was also the only person that Fundy trusted enough to reveal his plan as a spy to, while Tommy and Wilbur consistently refused their help when they kept trying to redeem themself. He also trusted Eret enough as a parent figure and was ecstatic when Eret said they were going to adopt him.

This isn't really him choosing someone but its more of a way to show that Fundy doesnt care too much about a person's side and how he values his relationship with them more than their side.

3. He very nearly chose Schlatt- While he was a spy under the guise of serving Schlatt, he very nearly turned after Schlatt actually gave him acknowledgment. When he actually saw the country that Wilbur made for him nearly flourish under Schlatt’s regime, and when Schlatt actually acknowledged him for his worth and capabilities and not just babied him like what Wilbur did, he was conflicted on who to choose. On one hand, he was a spy to prove himself to his father, on the other hand, Schlatt is actually giving him the acknowledgment that he has craved for his entire life. He was so conflicted that he even dedicated an entire entry in his spy diary of how he has conflicting feelings on which is right.

Only after Schlatt proved himself to be the tyrannical dictator that he is did Fundy solidify his resolve as a spy and ultimately chose Wilbur again.

4. During Doomsday, Fundy chose Ranboo-  this conversation hurt so much, especially because Ranboo unfairly judged Fundy while Fundy was actually breaking down. Ranboo criticized him for always choosing the winning side and for being a coward when its actually the complete opposite of that. Fundy has never been a coward, he never ran at the face of danger, he never strayed from his ideals, and he is willing to go through such far lengths just to be able to prove himself of worth (i.e running against his father, burning down the flag, double crossing etc etc.) Fundy has also never chosen the winning side, again, he is the actual poster boy for "Choose people, not sides". From the very beginning he has always chosen people, and now at this situation whether he realized it or not, he chose Ranboo.

During the New Lmanberg era, when Ranboo just recently joined, he and Fundy formed a quick friendship. Starting immediately with building and ice cream business together, exploiting the various glitches that Fundy found (flying strider, fundy boat glitch), decorating for the Green Festival together and just hanging out in general. Both of them got really close during this time, something even akin to brotherhood. But that all changed after the Green Festival, after Doomsday. Because of the misunderstanding, and because both of them were not in their right minds during Doomsday, both released hurtful words hurled towards each other. But what Ranboo didnt realized when Fundy said he was teaming with him, was that Fundy chose him. After he sabotaged Lmanberg's supplies, after he just watched the chaos and destruction unfold on the land that his father gave him, Fundy ultimately chose another person, the person he was closes to at this time, which was Ranboo. I don't blame Ranboo for misconstruing what Fundy said. Both of them weren't in the right mindset at all during that time, with Fundy having a breakdown and Ranboo thinking that staying alone and individuality is the only right answer, but that doesn't really deny the fact that Fundy still chose him, Ranboo.

Note: after reading this again ive just realized that not only is c!Fundy the embodiment of c!Ranboo's belief, c!Fundy actually has the backbone to go through with it lmao. As long as you give him love and acknowledgment he's basically ride or die with you.

[chubs-deuce]

Hey! I find your au concept interesting too. I think that springtrap and deliah is the only comic in which i saw an attempt at his redemption but i didnt find it satisfying. Agree too whith not liking the mad genious stereotype, i havent read the novels and i sticked to the first games so the later sci-fi elements kind of were hard to integrate. The family dinamics is what intrigues me the most, wihout all the brightness of the surface fnaf story is a big drama after all!

thank you!! I'm super happy to hear that! :DD

Oh yeah I do remember that comic, I found the premise a bit odd but the style pretty charming - never did read it from start to finish though ^^".

Some rambling under the cut ↓, shortening it for the sake of people who are just casually scrolling past this :'D

I did however read the novel trilogy and honestly? It left me disappointed and confused, mostly. It has some good bits in it and were overall an interesting read, but I'm not a fan of the storyline and how the characters were handled :'D I at least don't desire to read them again so I don't think you're missing all that much.

It does elaborate a little bit more on William in them, but considering he's the most inconsistent and illogically acting villain I've ever had to read it unfortunately just fell flat for me. I think they attempted to make him scary through unpredictability, but missed the mark with what actually makes that trope scary :'D.

And same with the relationship dynamics! It's one of the most interesting aspects of this franchise to me, and while I do understand some people just not really caring for it much or being too confused by the evidence to care much I personally could spend hours thinking about and analyzing it, haha.

All the sci-fi elements tbh also really intrigued me actually? I absolutely get why some people found those unncessary or too confusing and didn't like them, but I just haven't really seen another franchise really combine supernatural elements like ghosts and haunted robots and actually apply a system of rules and logic to how they work and comes together the way fnaf did. Remnant being revealed as a major factor of William's potential motives together with his apparent debilitating fear of death in the novels ended up changing my view of him pretty drastically - but in my opinion for the better too.

In my head it turned him from someone with some inexplicable insatiable bloodlust with haunted robots as a byproduct to a desperate man doing anything in his might to run from something as thoroughly inescapable as death, so desperate that he was willing to walk over corpses and commit to unbelievably immoral experiments to achieve his goals of achieving artificial immortality , only digging his grave deeper and deeper in the process as plan after plan backfires terribly, ultimately pulling everyone he knew and loved down with him.

And I tbh really do think that deep down, somewhere, in his own way, he did love his family - at least enough to not want any of them dead (except maybe Michael, it is implied in places that he had a big favoritism problem lmao).

Then you have Michael, the guilt-ridden oldest son who's desperate to redeem himself, picking up after the shattered pieces William left behind... Henry, whose daughter was stolen from him and his life's work not only thoroughly desecrated but also misused for the misery of so many... Not to mention Elizabeth's death, the bite of 83, William's own death and downfall....

There's just so many interesting factors that play into this grim and tragic tale, I could honestly talk about it for hours, haha.

[glassesandkim]

ok so anon sent me a rant that i asked for and I want to answer it but under a cut so we don’t have to spam the dash. 

Click under the read more if you want to read me and anon’s rant on grey’s anatomy s17 finale

anon said: “Magston... what the hell lmao. They literally had a whole plot in 1716 about postponing their wedding so they could do it right (with family) and then winston was getting all mad about it and thought maggie was backing out (even though its a pandemic and theyve only been engaged for like what? 3 months tops). Then they flew their older parent/grandparent out (in the middle of a pandemic and severely affects old people), only to have them object to the wedding at the ceremony and then they postpone anyways???? What???? They couldnt have done that over the phone lmao like I liked the idea of magston a lot in s16 but their arc this season made me hate them so much lol. Sometimes I think theyre less developed than schmico (like which writer decided to marry them this season ????? Fireable offence imo considering they have no previous relationship history Im pretty sure and Im pretty sure they were only dating/engaged for like a year???? Even if the show was ending a moving in together/dating/engagment endgame would have worked for them? Anyways).”

First of all: what the fuck is grey’s obsession with marriage?????

It might just be me, but take it from someone who worked in the wedding industry for 3 years, and lemme tell you: weddings are fun, beautiful, amazing, but they’re also hella for the privileged. YOU KNOW IT CAN COST UP TO $700 CAD TO HIRE AN OFFICIANT??? So the job Richard had? He could’ve made an easy few hundies. 

I really hate how fucking fake and badly acted that scene was when Maggie’s dad and Winston’s grandma objected to the marriage. Why did they wait until then and EMBARRASS both of them???? Like you said, what the hell was the point of last episode’s whole debacle???? They could’ve just not done that plot in ep 16 and had them get married anyway in ep 17 and had someone object to their marriage. 

Can’t believe Maggie flew two old people around the country during a goddamn pandemic. How irresponsible is it???? Again, I don’t know if it’s because they’re just way more relaxed in the states than where I’m from but wth....

anon said: Okay and then amelink. I LOVED how amelia was written this episode, but in the context of the time jump it was kind of weird? Like amelia was feeling this way about marriage/more kids for 8-9 months and never even hinted to link that she wasnt interested? And I like to think link respects amelia a lot, so why didnt he bring up marriage again before proposing? Or ask mer/maggie what they thought about him proposing? I can understand her not talking to link about her concerns but I find it hard to believe she didnt bring it up with mer/maggie once in that time frame? Idk it was just rushed and weird. And amelia clearly wasnt okay with the fostering thing and he still went with it anyways lol.

I can’t remember and I don’t care enough to go watch the ep, but did Amelia and Link move out of Mer’s house? 

The only good thing about this episode was Amelia, especially her conversation with Richard (in that not very Seattle courtyard rofl HONESTLY GREY’S PUT SOME EFFORT IN YOUR SETS. YOU KNOW YOUR ENTIRE SHOW IS SET IN SEATTLE RIGHT/???? LIKE MAKE IT RAIN IN THAT COURTYARD TO REFLECT HOW AMELIA FEELS IDK GAWD)

I also can’t believe Amelia would just be like, welp! I guess I’m a double mom now of my own child and this random crotch child that my baby daddy promised to his best friend. And oh ya, I don’t want anymore children but shhh its a secert.

I mean, I know Amelia technically fostered before but ............. (i’ll continue this in the next segment)

anon said: And the fostering thing... Jo’s plot was weird this ep too lmao. Like maybe Im just dumb but they never explained why she failed her background check? Idk this plot would have been a much better season long arc than a one episode arc lol. Although I think the single parent thing might be fun next season (the weird jo/levi friendship will be worth it if we get schmico babysitting)

They didn’t really explain why she failed her bg check. I also don’t know how money can fix her failed background check.

Also how fucking shady is it that Link and Amelia fostered a child? Wouldn’t the foster people want to give a child to a stable family who, let’s think, ARE MARRIED and HAVE A HOME OF THEIR OWN?

Who’s the dumbass in the writer’s room that thought of this ludicrous convenient solution for Jo? Only people with that much money and power can steal children. 

I really thought Jo’s fight for Luna should’ve started earlier and when it didn’t start, I thought it would bleed into next season. It’s not easy to adopt a child. 

anon said: Also is our last jackson appearance on this show really a random facetime with jo? Would have much rather had a face maggie to congratulate her on her marriage (why wasnt he there???) 

Maggie’s kind of his step sister or whatever the f they are. Jackson could’ve taken a break from solving racism to attend his family member’s wedding, right?

anon said: Okay and then the interns... we never actually saw mer teaching them? Im hoping that theres a bigger intern/resident focus next season because of mers new job but now Im not optimistic haha. And why are the residents and interns grouped together? And why was levi so involved with mer’s patient that he wasnt pulled from the wedding to help???????? Its a double lung transplant get the upper year resident in there PLEASE!!! Or at least let him take over the surgery when mer passed out. Cristina would have been doing this shit in her intern year. I assure you he would much rather be at the surgery than the wedding of someone he has never interacted with. And Surely that surgery would have been better if more than 2 surgeons were working on it?????? my ONLY hope is that the time jump means we’re getting helm and levi aged up to 5th years and we get some chief resident/specialization/boards plots for them next year.

i hate grey’s and their ridiculous time jumps and blatant disregard to HOW THIS WILL AFFECT THE CAREERS OF THEIR RESIDENTS. 

I bet, like Teddy’s child, Levi and Helm are gonna be residents for 10 years and never choose a speciality. I want to revoke grey’s rights to call themselves a medical drama. There’s nothing medical about this show.

JUST WATCH MER TOUCH A DIRTY ASS BASIN AND THEN TOUCH A WHOLE HUMAN LUNG WITH THE SAME HANDS

YOU KNOW HOW DIRTY THAT BASIN IS SITTING ON WHATEVER THE FUCK IT WAS SITTING ON??? GET A NURSE TO HOLD THE BASIN. YOUR HANDS ARE STERILE

(Okay, I’m also sure the basin would be sterile but I can’t. I can’t believe in real life, they’d have the same hands hold a basin and a human organ. Someone who’s a doctor or works in the OR, tell me if I’m right. I need to know. )

Also, Bailey taking off her mask when she’s hugging Mer after the surgery. Right TO JAIL!

anon said: And finally... not half of maggies wedding guests ditching the wedding to go stand in a hallway and clap for mer LMAO like they couldnt have done that the next day??? Like I said before, most of this episode was comedy lol.

it’s COVID. Why are people going into the hospital unnecessarily??????

Yes, but you’re right. I gotta watch these eps like it’s a comedy or I’ll LOSE MY FACKING MIND

anon said: Redeeming parts of this episode: merhayes still has potential, need them to stop having the same scene over and over again though. Nico ily and alex get that cheque for sitting there, dancing, and clapping for ellen. Jo selling her shares to koracick... lmao. Bokhee and the other nurse getting their vaccines :’)

LOL @ merhayes having the same interaction. I was telling some people that I’d love for Hayes and Owen to have some scenes and for Hayes to kick Owen’s ass. Because like @schmico-ing said, Owen is a child collector and Hayes would absolutely fucking hate him.

YES ALEX LANDI GETTIN’ THAT DOUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHH. What an amazing job. I hope he gets paid in the 6 figures for his time at grey’s.

I don’t know how I feel about Koracick. I love caring Koracick. I hate asshole Koracick. I feel like they’re two different people. 

BOHKEE <3

Anyways, love your rants. I look forward to them when s18 starts or even whenever you have the odd urge to rant!

[sweater-daddiesdumbdork]

Out of all of Chris' characters and Sebastian's characters, who do you think is the most sensitive, sweet and artistically/musically inclined (even if they've never showed it and it's deep down), and they'd be supportive and protective for the one they love most in the world??

For Chris Evans characters, I feel like the choice here for artistically/musically inclined will have to be Steve Rogers, Nick Vaughn and Colin Shea. Two of those men showed talent in their stories with there instruments, and we all know Steve Rogers loves to draw (which I would have loved to see it showed more in his movies specifically because I feel like it would have really shown a personal side outside of Captain America that we deserved.) 

Most sensitive, even when trying to hide it... Frank Adler. Seeing him break down a few times trying to cope with the trial and his own personal criss’s of  “was he good enough to raise Mary.” just really shows how important it is to raise this little person to be the most she can be. Plus he not only saved Fred the cat, he took all the cats that were supposed to be euthanized that day. Also last thought on the subject of Frank, it does take some finesse to be a mechanic, and he was into philosophy... I am sure this man does have a artistic side to him. 

Im also going to put Jimmy Dobyne in the most sensitive category, even though he hides it. Taking care of his alcoholic father, mother in a mental institue, basically gives up “happiness” to do what he has to do to surivive. One last romp with an ex flame as a way to say goodbye. When his character was called into question by Willow, he took it extremely personal. He a sensitive boy way down deep.

Supportive as all hell, damn I see Jake Jensen rolling that way. “You wanna do that babes, hell lets go all the way.” He just seems like that kinda guy who rolls with it, no matter how crazy it might sound. 

Also Colin Shea gets the shout to in this area, cause he was all for supporting Ally with her figurines, even wired up all the lights to showcase them for her because he saw how important they were to her. I can see him in the long run always encouraging whatever you wanted to try. Going as far as setting up work space for you and buying any material you might need. 

Protective. Okay, Steve obviously. I can see Ransom being over protective over in a way that benefits him, of course the moment you two are not an item, he pretends not to give a shit. (that might just be a Amber Fantasy, not gonna lie.)  Curtis, started a whole revolution just to take care of the tail end from the front end. Andy did everything he could to prove Jacob as innocent (Idc that boy did it.) 

And the ones I think are the most sacraficing? Im gonna say Mike Weiss, Ari Levinson, and Curtis Everett in this one. Mike with that drive to tackle the underdog cases, even going broke and being threatened. It might have started more as a challenge for him, but in the end I feel like he did it with the mindset that this wasnt right and people deserve better. Ari dedicates his life to saving people. And Curtis ended up destroying his arm and using his body as a shield to save Yona and Timmy. Steve as well gets a shout out, he doesnt like bullies and underwent a scientific experiment to defend people. 

Who has it all? I could probably talk myself into finding all those aspects in most of his characters because I live in a fantasy world in my head. LMAO. But Im gonna say Steve really hits all of them in some way. 

Sebastian Stan, Ive only seen a handful of characters, Bucky Barnes, Charles Blackwood and Jeff Gillooly. Which Charles and Jeff didnt have many redeeming qualities. 

[normal-thoughts-official]

Do u think Alec and raphael would have good relationship on the show after the finale? You have good metas about Raphael and I wanted to ask do you think Alec punching him was justified? Or could be redeemed?

ive talked about the punching before and i think the punching... was definitely not in any way justified, it wasn't rapha's fault, it was IZZY who fucking roped him into addiction not the other way around lol. but also alec didnt know that so i kinda get why he did it cuz that's his little sister and at the end of the day if you see your little sibling in a situation where it looks like they're being hurt it's punch first ask questions later

at the same time, i cant pretend racism didnt have something to do with his immediate assumption that it was rapha's fault (both because he's a vampire and because he's latino and of course latinos are All Predatory Sexy Drug Dealers) despite the fact that rapha wasn't hurting izzy at all. but there was also a lot of context that would point in that direction cuz he knew izzy was suffering because of addiction and that she was roped into it and then he saw a vampire feeding on her so like. i wouldnt ask questions either y'know?

so like alec definitely wasn't right about it and it wasn't justified but i don't exactly fault him for it either. i fault the writing for never questioning the whole "rapha was the one who roped izzy into it" narrative or the punch, and for having MAGNUS of all people be judgemental or rapha. magnus who knew rapha back when he was addicted. magnus who helped him recover. magnus who KNEW he had been clean for decades and how hard he worked towards that. magnus who knows rapha's heart better than anyone and knows how much he cares and that he'd never ever do this... just fucking assumed it was rapha's fault. bullshit. sorry that's just complete and utter bullcrap

so i don't find the writing redeemable but i do think the punch is something they could have worked out, if alec apologized to him and said that it wasn't his fault and they actually talked about it. but that would have to happen, you know? it cant just be like, we move on now. especially because obviously a part of rapha blames himself for the yin fen thing which is INSANE. izzy was the one who triggered and used him, not the other way around. that couldnt have been more obvious, its not debatable and the only reason ppl even entertain the idea that rapha was at fault is racism

and like look izzy is not a monster or whatever she was literally desperate enough to put her life on the line for vampire venom (like when she showed up at the den) but that doesnt make it any less true that she triggered rapha's addiction on purpose several times. the circumstances make it not be Pure Evil on her part, but they dont make it any less awful for raphael. and while i still mostly like izzy and think she's "redeemable", i fully understand those who don't and even agree with their reasoning honestly, especially because sh never acknowledged her fucked up actions and the fandom treats that plotline in a completely izzy-centric way despite the fact that rapha was in a way, WAY worse position than her

and i only find her redeemable assuming that she 1- took the full fault for what happened; 2- apologized to rapha; 3- tried to make things right. not in a catholic Feeling Guilty way but as in like trying to help raphael way - like finding him a support group for example. which is what i hc happened in my version of sh where things make sense and the writing isn't racist shit

anyway anyway. yes i could see alec and rapha working it out. i can't really see a close relationship, tho. first, because at the end of the day alec is on izzy's side first and foremost even if he's willing to admit she was at fault, and while i think that obviously rapha has forgiven her and they have like, positive feelings for each other, distance between him and izzy is not only present but good for them both and especially for rapha. so i can't see them being close. beyond that, i don't see much rapha and alec have in common besides loving magnus with their whole hearts and being autistic

i guess they have similar senses of humor so i could see them having some whispered conversations where they roast the attendees at a clave event or something, but they dont last long and mostly rapha is focused on, you know, his friends, partners, family, his clan. and i also think it would take rapha a loooong time to fully trust alec with magnus, because well... alec did fuck up plenty of times lmao and rapha knows better than anyone that as good intentioned as the lightwoods may be they have a lot of potential to really fucking hurt downworlders, and he's seen it happen to magnus already. but also alec does have magnus' happiness as his first priority and more and more so as time goes by, so i think eventually hed grow to trust alec. he was obviously happy at their wedding and he knew how much that meant for him, so

so i think they'd have, like. a neutral-to-positive relationship with each other (especially as time goes by and rapha begins to trust alec more and the yin fen thing feels less raw) and might even team up and trust each other to have their backs in battle and stuff like that, but i cant really see them being super close. but like thats okay and it works, and besides, neither of them would want to have magnus choose, so they interact with each other just fine and as long as magnus is happy, theyre happy, really

Alani 24, 27, 29!

HI THANK YOU <333

24. How did they react when they found out about Blackwall/Thom Rainier?

her and blackwall weren't super close - not that she didnt like him or anything, they just werent Besties - but she was really thrown for a loop bc her impression of him was... kinda solemn fereldan dad with a hidden sense of humor? esp bc she really prides herself on being able to Get people easily. she didnt really feel betrayed, per se, mostly just surprised

on top of that she was at a point where she was soooo fuckin tired of making other people's big personal decisions. in her mind it's not really up to her whether he's redeemed himself. she can tell him what she thinks, but ultimately she cant make that decision? and after all this time dealing w andrastians she was well past her breaking point w the whole guilt/punishment/inborn need for spiritual salvation bit. so she was as patient as possible during the actual quest but was definitely going on rants during and after the fact lol

27. Did they think Cassandra should rebuild the Seekers? Why or why not?

contrary to what alani thinks about redemption in terms of PEOPLE, she does NOT feel the same way about chantry-aligned organizations lol (which is part of why she disbands the inquisition after trespasser!)

despite their differences, she believes that cassandra honestly wants to do good and would approach rebuilding the seekers with good intentions, but to her its nigh impossible to rectify something that was so corrupt for so long. (im not an expert on the seekers but. ik they at least were part of creating the circles of magi so that is enough for me to be like...no. lmao.) so yeah she understands why cass wants to do it, but when cass comes for advice, alani is pretty clear that she doesnt think it would turn out well even with the best intentions :/

29. What did they do at Halamshiral? Why did they decide on who should reign?

ok so canonically i had celene and briala reconciled, bc i still didnt know a lot abt either of their backgrounds (including celene's whole fuckery with the ALIENAGE. bitch) and was like "yeah sure that'll give briala direct input" etc. but i have since retconned my decision, in true bioware fashion sdlfkjdsl, and alani would definitely snipe the bitch

since the devs are allergic to actual structural change ig that means the in-game choice would be gaspard rules w briala pulling the strings, but in Secret Good Dragon Age that lives in my brain, she lets celene and gaspard both die and they have like an """interim ruler""" or council or something while corypheus is a direct threat (with briala still actually the one most involved)

thank u again!!

PREMISE

widower hai chao and his 6 year old daughter jian jian live happily above his noodle restaurant despite the recent, tragic death of his wife. one day, dysfunction junction a married couple (he ping, a police officer, and chen ting, a real piece of work) move into the same building with their 7 year old son, ling xiao. immediately, jian jian attaches herself to ling xiao, who is unexpectedly grim for a small child. 

because ling xiao’s family is less-than-healthily grieving the loss of their youngest child, ling xiao’s sister who died in a terrible accident. The Apartment of Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms eventually implodes, ending with chen ting abandoning her husband and son. he ping, suddenly a single father, and hai chao come to a friendly partnership that is clearly alluding to gay marriage where they co-raise both of their kids--hai chao as the primary caregiver, and he ping supporting them financially through his job as a policeman.

meanwhile, the neighborhood busybody is dead-set on getting hia chao remarried. eventually she introduces him to a divorced single mother, he mei, and her son zi qiu, who is ling xiao’s age. they sort of start to date, but it culminates in he mei skipping town and leaving zi qiu behind. hai chao, man with a heart of gold, informally adopts him and zi qiu becomes jianjian’s foster brother.

from there, the trio grow up happily and become inseparable. but once zi qiu and ling xiao graduate high school, the bullshit parade their respective childhood skeletons reappear in their lives. circumstances lead to the boys moving overseas, leaving jianjian and their fathers behind. 

they reunite after 9 years, when the boys return to a home where they hope to pick things back up from where they left off. things are more complicated than that, as jianjian finds herself in a new life and surrounded by new people. 

MAIN CHARACTERS

li jian jian

hai chao’s daughter and the only girl in the family. she attended the required short-hair-low-grades training program required of all cdrama youth female leads. super positive and outgoing, as well as the youngest of the three pseudo-siblings, jian jian grows up spoiled and over protected by her father and brothers, and as a result is completely devastated once her family falls apart. it’s so sad.

after the time skip, she’s an on-the-verge successful artist who makes woodcarvings, and exudes big art bro energy. inhales sugar like it’s nobody’s business. she inherited her father’s disease called caring too much, and it’s incurable!! 

ling xiao

the eldest brother and resident fun police. ling xiao comes from a seriously toxic home that finally seems to improve once his mother leaves. but then she comes back. fucking great. introverted to the point of being withdrawn to anyone but his chosen family, ling xiao’s had to carry a lot of emotional weight that takes a larger and larger toll on him as the series progresses. please get this boy some therapy. 

becomes a dentist because jian jian needs one. wears a lot of monochromatic outfits with low necklines because heavy angst but make it fashion. has been in love with jian jian since high school and is still carrying that torch 9 years later.

he zi qiu  

the middle child who grows up in hai chao and jian jian’s home, and is her foster brother in all but paperwork. hotheaded, zi qiu and jian jian basically share two brain cells that ling xiao routinely takes from them for safekeeping. he spoils jian jian, sneaking her snacks and junk food and wants to become a pastry chef so he can open a sweet shop for her!!

my favorite character. just wants to be wanted 8( him and hai chao’s relationship is my favorite dynamic in the series. will sob while driving a pink moped. is too proud to beg

li hai chao (left) and ling he ping (right)

the greatest (hai chao) and okayest (he ping) dads in the world! noodle dad/hai chao has never done anything wrong in his life, ever, and we know this and we love him. he ping isn’t a bad person, but demonstrates pretty classic absentee parenting/isn’t as emotionally present in his son’s life as hai chao. hai chao is the heart of the family, and would do anything for his kids 8( 

SOME SUPPORT CHARACTERS 

tang can (left) and qiu ming yue (right)

jian jian’s #GirlGang and roommates. they, like literally everyone in this drama, have some severe mom issue hang-ups. tang can (left) is a former child actress who is struggling with her lack of success as an adult and gives well-meaning but absolutely terrible advice on the regular. 

ming yue (right) is jian jian’s best friend since childhood and as an adult is trying to break free from her mother’s controlling nature--she’s also had a thing for ling xiao for the last 9 years. raises fish for symbolism purposes.

chen ting

ling xiao’s mom and certified garbage human. unable to cope with the death of her daughter that was her fault lbr, she abandons her family and disappears for ten years. she forces her way back into ling xiao’s life when he turns 18, where it’s revealed that she’s remarried and ling xiao has a younger half-sister chengzi (”little orange”). shit goes down, and soon ling xiao is forced to move back to singapore to serve as primary caregiver to both his mother who abandoned him and the half sister he barely knows. 

emotionally abusive and basically hits every single square on the toxic parent bingo card. i just. i just hate her. even typing this out is making me mad.

he mei

zi qiu’s mother. after a few dates with hai chao, she ends up ditching her kid and disappearing for unknown reasons. is a slightly better parent than chen ting but that’s like saying some poison kills you slower. the show tries to bring us around on her but it didnt work for me. 

SOME OTHERS

zhuang bei, zi qiu’s best friend growing up who i would like a lot less if he wasn’t played by the same actor who played my beloved dachuan

zheng shuran, jian jian’s first boyfriend and fellow artist who’s got a weird thing for women’s waists and pretentious artists’ statements

du juan, jian jian’s friend who co-owns their woodworking studio. has absolute trash taste in men

chengzi, ling xiao’s half-sister who can be a brat but dear god does she need to be protected/saved 

**DRAWBACKS

so this is a weird one for me. what i didn’t like i really didn’t like, but what i loved i really loved. ultimately, the factors/uniqueness of this show and the loveability of the main characters outweighed the negatives and it’s one of my favorite dramas.

THAT SAID. i got some #thoughts on this one. 

first, there are literally no positive mother figures in this show. not a damn one. they are all negligent or controlling at best or down right abusive at worst. no woman over 30 is portrayed positively and that’s a big No from me. 

the last 10 eps have some pacing issues and focus on the wrong people. spending the remaining episodes focused on one of the most universally hated characters vs. the main family was a bad move 

the show tried to redeem or make us sympathize with characters that were, to me, completely irredeemable. one case is worse than the other, but both of them were terrible people that deserved to be cut out of the main family’s lives.  

REASONS TO WATCH

the main family. the characters are so wonderful and nuanced, and their dynamics with one another were amazing. you’ll fall in love with hai chao aka noodle dad and the trio. they go through so many trials but they still stick together and it’s ultimately a healing drama and i loved it very much.

the central romance was less in focus, but the pining is enough to make jane austen emerge from the grave. i loved the leads together, and while LOL ling xiao’s attachment to jian jian was not always healthy, they supported each other and it made me smile. i love me a tortured pining dude.

#Acting. everyone played their parts to perfection. the child actors in particular were so well-cast (esp baby zi qiu)

the soundtrack lmao. you watch the opening credits and know you’ll need to buckle up

idk it’s a very unique show, and i haven’t seen one like it. reply 1988 comes close, but it doesn’t tackle the same issues and it was all just very real and earnest. 

Final Thoughts.

GOODNIGHT, GOOODBYYYYYE MY CHILDREEEEEEEN

Your breath began to tremble, and you tried to squeeze your legs together to withstand the odd sensation growing, but he held your leg still and showed no signs of letting go. You were suddenly aware of his hand on your lower thigh, and you noticed that it was the first time a man’s hand had touched there. ~ You were a flower that had yet to bloom in the late of spring.

you know, i respect people who want bkg to be redemmed bc we all have our own opinions and stuff. but to me??? i want him OUT of the narrative, nothing he will ever do (just looking at what we have till now, almost 300 chaps) will be enough,nothing will happen so yeah, to me he is iredemable. is it me selfprojecting years of cruelty i had to deal with with bothableism and racism? maybe but in a word qith quirks where people can be pink red or black with no problem

(2/4) what sets you aside is your quirk. or lack of it since without it you aint even a person, and bakugou spent 10 years and MORE ruining the equivalent of a disabled child while showing how privileged he was, he is rich, has a powerful quirk, can hurt anyone and get away with it, he has both parents, he is everything izuku isnt AND yet we have to sympathize with him rather than the victim??? i dont get it.i know a lot of people want him to be redeemed but i dont understand why he has to become friends

(3/4) like if someone told me be friends with the person who ruined your youth and selfworth and just straight up made your life hell im just gonna be really, astonished and he didnt get better, it is just the narrative accommodating him, because he is like pretty much the same as the start. and something that i dont get is why people try justifying him while hating mineta,they are the same age so lets just admit that yall care about appearence rather than actual characters and flaws

(4/4) sorry i ranted dhf hdbhjcsd but like. im just tired and your inbox is one of the few places that make me feel understood ?? ;-; sorry, and love u!!! have a nice day honey bee

first, I want to address your last point, nonnie. neveeeeeer apologize for sharing your thoughts with me!!! to be honest, I became more vocal about my feelings towards bakugou because I imagined that others felt that way too, or similarly enough, and I wanted to make space for us all to comfortably talk about it. the fact that that’s working, even for one person at all, makes me feel good!!! so no apologies, and no worries babes (and I love you toooooooooo!!)

now, onward to the stuff:

you bring up a lot of points that i probably don’t have all the depth to explore in their entirety, but yes to all that ^^^^^

as you mentioned at the start, there are variations in opinions, which is how things work. the beauty of it is that everyone can take what they want out of the show/character(s) and every interpretation (within reason hdebfdbnjd) is valid. soooooooo if you’re someone who has dealt with real life discrimination of some sort (like racism, ableism, sexism, along with the other -isms) I think it’s beyond fair to not only identify with izuku, but to raise issue with bakugou and his actions. I mean, even if you haven’t felt those struggles, seeing and then calling out a character’s shitty behavior is not... a bad thing?? even for bakugou, even at the start of his “redemption.” being wary of his growth makes sense, especially when it took us over two-hundred chapters to get where we are currently.

that then leads me into the responses to the responses to bakugou dbedhd I haven’t really had the chance to speak to many people who are put off by my stance on bk, but I can sort of guess that some people grow defensive on his behalf because 1) they feel the need to justify the fact that they like him, or 2) they identify with him, maybe in a way that I, or you nonnie, identify with izuku, so they take criticism geared towards him as something personal (and as I said, this is me guessing. I don’t know shit about shit so please no one take offense or anything). and you know, when thinking about that, I believe:

you don’t have to justify liking a character, even when they’re “bad.” I know there’s lots of shiggy stans around and I would never ask any of them to justify enjoying his character (though I will continuously joke on yall for calling him attractive lmao). people criticize shig’s actions and how he operates in the plot, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still like him. the same goes for bakugou

me, in this case, disliking a character that you see parts of yourself in does not mean I have any ill feelings towards you as a person. for example, I love izuku! I think I was in the tags of someone else’s post early this morning talking about how I connect with him as a black person and how I love his storyline because parts of it make me feel seen. so like, all that in mind, there’s a decent amount of people, both in and out of the fandom, who haaaaaaaaaaate izuku. there’s a number of reasons why, and while I don’t agree with that stance, obviously, I know that people’s feelings about him do not also reflect onto me as a person because their perception of him has nothing to do with me. the same line of reasoning can, and probably should, be applied to bakugou. 

and so with all of that being said... that’s what I think is (part of) what’s going on. now, as someone who doesn’t care for his character, and being shit-talked for not caring too much for his character, I am still frustrated by it. plenty of people have already talked about the importance of holding bk accountable, and it’s okay if we get that in canon and it 1) changes how you feel about bk (because honestly, that’s what I want. I want to see him do good enough by izu and his past mistakes to like him... or tolerate him better duebndnwd), 2) it doesn’t change how you feel, or 3) it makes you dislike him more. all of these are valid reactions. what I do hope for is that people are understanding of how others feel, regardless of how it shoves against your own/the fandom’s general opinion, because they’re allowed to feel differently. 

people are allowed to problematize problematic behavior, they’re allowed to enjoy a character despite said problematic beahvior, and these things can (and should) coexist.   

okay but all this bullshit is basically me saying you’re valid anon and anti-bakugou fans/bakugou haters/whatever deserve more rights eubfudwnjndjw

Okay it’s new world tour theories time

!Warning for spoilers!

it’s long so I’ll put it all under the cut :)c

Basic things real quick that have been painted out for us

- there are two versions of the history of strings: the one peppy gives, and I’m assuming the one the rock trolls know (the true one). I’m assuming this story will show some of Barb’s motivations

- branch has accepted his crush on poppy but she thinks of him as a friend. im expecting there to be some good running gags of branch trying to confess/ask her out and he gets interrupted 

- branch and poppy have some kind of fallout 

- branch is for using force; poppy wants to go for a softer, more diplomatic approach 

- barb ends up getting all the strings and turning each kingdom leader into “rock zombies” during her rock show

- barb is ultimately redeemed in the end and gets a tall colorful mohawk 

SO THAT BEING SAID. theres a lot of meat missing from these bones...and I wanna throw out some theories regarding the meat lol

For the true story of the strings, I’m gonna guess that it’s going to talk about how Peppy’s version of the story is wrong/misleading. I’m gonna guess that it’s either barb or thrash telling this story...and I’m thinking it’s going to talk about the falling out of the kingdoms, particularly with the rock trolls. maybe peppy’s original story will talk about how the kingdoms just naturally didnt get along and decided to split off amiably to live in their own respective kingdoms away from each other. and the ACTUAL story could be that they all DID get along together, until pop and rock started to antagonize each other, which lead to general unrest in the kingdoms. more and more conflict eventually lead to the kingdoms splitting, and the blame was placed on the rock trolls and their rowdy nature. im thinking they suffered some sort of consequence as a result...but im not sure what! something bad enough to make barb want to destroy all other types of music.

with branch’s crush and the fallout between him and poppy....i feel like this is really up in the air. my strongest instinct tells me that dreamworks will kinda take the common route and have poppy eventually break out of her obliviousness and give branch a shot, go ahead and go on a date with him. BUT...i feel like theres also the possibility, given that Goodbye song that was cut and dreamworks deleting that pic showing the breakup, that branch will eventually get the opportunity to confess his feelings and poppy will insist that she just wants to be friends. this will make branch angry, he’ll impulsively start a fight with poppy, and they’ll part ways (resulting in poppy getting snatched by the rock trolls and branch by the reggaeton/kpop trolls). after spending time away from each other, branch will come to terms with poppy’s decision, getting encouragement from the reggaeton/kpop trolls to be happy and grateful to have the platonic relationship he does have with poppy, and go off to save her at the rock show with their help. unlikely, yeah, but...something I would prefer over the traditional ending of them coupling up tbh.

okay, with branch wanting to use weapons and force and poppy wanting to use persuasion/affection...I feel like this is more than just a gag. when poppy says “all we need are [this arm and this arm]...for hugs!” i feel like this could be foreshadowing for both how their adventure is gonna go and how they ultimately get barb on their side. branch is going to insist on using force to get out of predicaments, but in the end it will be poppy’s more pacifist methods of persuasion and group song that solve their problems. I think branch will also be less willing to trust the other trolls from other kingdoms...both of these will start causing a divide between him and poppy as it wears on them both. however, I think when theyre finally getting around to defeating barb, it’ll be love and diplomacy from poppy that wins her over. seems like something that the rock trolls dont encounter that much, and it might be what barb actually wanted all along :0c

WHICH BRINGS ME TO..barb’s redemption and new look!! barb’s pre-redemption look reminds me a lot of pre-true colors branch? her roots and base of her hair is really dark, her mohawk is short in comparison to the other rock trolls’ long hair, shes shown to be prickly and grouchy, and has dark purplish-grey skin. she also has like....a kinda awkward grin lol? BUT her end-of-movie look has her mohawk tall, rainbow hair (with some black because yeah rock troll lol), a big ol grin, and lighter pink skin. so im thinkingggg she has some sort of true-colors moment with poppy after maybe some kind of sad backstory moment? if crazy train is the finale song for barb, those lyrics are like...pretty sad tbh? and would make for a great backstory for barb with her motivations and why her appearance is so gloomy and greyish like branch was. my biggest wonder with all of this is what exactly the root of her sadder state is (something to do with her ear maybe??) and how exactly poppy gets to a point with barb where they talk things out and get to the point where barb is redeemable and accepted by the other trolls after basically pillaging through their kingdoms. gonna be a big one to pull off!! and i cant wait!!!

SO YEAH thats all i got rn! april 17th cant come soon enough...dreamworks ill settle for more barb clips ovo also. this is just me but parb endgame would be incredible lmao

WHO READS UNORDINARY? im on team john til the end IDGAF how evil this man gets im on his side for lifeeeeeeee. the author did him wrong by giving him the right mindset and the right idea about EVERYTHING in their shitty oppressive society but then she made him all evil and unreasonable for another tired "change is good but dont go too far 😊👍❤️ change the system thru peaceful means mwah". why the FUCK would i enjoy reading about the catalyst for change turned into a villain for contrived reasons so the people who upheld the oppressive system can be shown in a heroic light when they try to stop him?

what was the reason why the author made him so crazy and unreasonable? WHY? he was right since the beginning, but now that the oppressors are starting to realize hes right, he has to be the bad guy now? the author is young teenage girl (her avatar is, at least? her age is unconfirmed) so the reason was probably more for drama and plot purposes than propaganda, but this narrative decision is still incredibly fucking harmful.

johns character was of the lowest class of human in their society since he was originally powerless. making him get drunk on power and become ultra violent not just once, but TWICE, is such a shitty message to send. whether or not the author did this on purpose, this implicates that bringing up the oppressed class to the level of oppressors is dangerous because they will abuse their newfound power. i mean... HELLO? Of all the messages to send, it had to be that?

plus, when john was brutalizing the royals as the joker, was i.... supposed to feel sorry? they got a one time taste of what the rest of the student body suffered every fucking day because they were complacent in a system that benefited them. they didnt do more to protect the lower tier students. So tell me why exactly these scenes were portrayed as a horrific act? why the fuck were they so mad when their precious friends, their fellow high tier students, got their asses kicked in school for the first time? its everyday life for the lower tiers. if they really did change and disagree with the system now, they shouldn't have such hostility towards john for doing what he did to them.

and when lower tier students were putting on the joker mask and attacking the higher tiers who beat them up, the story shouldve done more to avoid putting them on the same level. the way it was written, the story was putting the blame on them for "making the situation worse." the situation was already the worst since the beginning, people only started caring when their safety were threatened too. It literally did not "get worse" it was still fucking the same as it always was.

john has been on both sides. hes been on top of the world and at the very bottom of it. hes in the unique position of viewing both perspectives so he shouldve had more insight than the rest of the cast instead of this angsty bullshit this boring, dragged out arc is relying on. when there is a revolution, the oppressed class always, ALWAYS has to be the leader of it. although John is a high tier now, he was born powerless (less than dirt to them!) and chose to live powerless up until recently, so given the current cast, he shouldve been the only option to lead aside from seraphina who was only powerless until recently. I dont even like her that much because when she realized how oppressive their system is, she did resign from her position but still didnt do more to protect the lower tier students so what was the point lmao. The fuck are the lower tier students gonna do with her resignation? it benefits only her because she gets to wash her hands of her guilt.

the world building was written very poorly anyway. if this was how their society had always been, the oppressed people wouldve come up with ways to adapt to their society instead of just getting beaten up everyday lmao. Oppressed people arent mindless sheep waiting for the oppressors to save then lmao. you seriously telling me that only john then seraphina taught themselves self defense fighting and not one of the lower tiers had the same idea?

tldr johns character deserved better and i really think people who havent experienced oppression should quit fucking writing about oppression. write about other stuff for the love of god. idk the author and her life but her take on oppression is so shallow that i find it hard to believe she knows enough about it to write about it. discrimination ≠ oppression btw. idk whats going on because i dropped it when the story was dragging the john is bad arc to new heights of insensitive and boring but theres nothing that could redeem the harmful messages the story already put out no matter how much effort and length was put into the inevitable john redemption arc

nobody kill me but i actually,,, liked the rise of skywalker

SPOILERS BELOW

like obviously im bitter about oscar isaac not getitng his finnpoe but otherwise i thought it was good??

i was never a big fan of reylo but i’m not upset about how they ended it. i want more movies to actually put effort into their redemption arcs and not kill off the characters needing to redeem themselves but oh well

the gay joe russo thing is getting old disney are cowards. lesbian resistance pilots are cool-- thanks-- but how about mORE THAN TWO SECONDS OF THEM

leia’s death was depressing AS FUCK but the poetic cinema of rey and kylo’s thing going on halfway across the universe just as she died and rey feeling it and ugh *chef’s kiss* AND THEN CHEWIES REACTION NO THAT WAS SAD AF

the shots were gorgeous and the scenery was beautiful as always

i genuinely thought there were gonna kill chewie and FLIPPED my shit. when it happened i heard my dad whisper ‘upsetti spaghetti’ and nearly lost it laughing which was awful

them sliding in a potential female love interest for poe last second was kinda :/// like ok i headcanon him as a bi disaster but finn is RIGHT THERE yall just dont want people to think he’s a Homosexual fuck off disney

also hey what the fuck with the spice runner thing? i thought his parents were rebels or smthn????

i’m glad they didn’t force the rose/finn thing again? but im upset they shoved her aside she was a really cool character and i loved her. also the new character who was also a turncoat from the first order??? i loved her but i didnt even catch her name

SPACE HORSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

poe taking over the resistance gave me goosebumps it’s what my boi deserves

The trio banter killed me instantly. the first half of the movie was a Whole Meme. i love that the shining stars of the resistance are just bickering like children while Finn, the only one leia can take anywhere, is like “pls for the love of god stop fighting”

also idk what was up with Finn needing to tell Rey something i know people thought they were hinting at an I love you confession but i actually thought he was just gonna tell her he was force sensitive? also lmao lil jealous poe right there thank u for ur service oscar isaac

rey and kylo with the fuckin!!! lightsabers!!!!! bro that was beautiful with that smooth bond-pass that was so cool i think i died

han’s ghost literally broke my heart and it took me a straight 12 hours to realise that ben meant to say i love u and han just i know and when i figured it out i sCREAMED

also thank god they confirmed somebody uses Dad in the star wars universe instead of Father do u know how much easier that makes my fanfic writing

FURTHERMORE if i hear one more motherfucker say rey taking the skywalker name was a disgrace because she’s a palpatine, i am going to SNAP. yall get upset that there isn’t enough found family in a movie and then u get mad when they actually use it??? SHUT THE FUCK UPPPP she’s a skywalker ok the Force ghosts approve

the NOSTALGIA!!!!!!!! the ewoks at the end made my sister :D and going back to luke’s home on tatooine i was like !!!!!!!! why would u do ani dirty burying his lightsaber in the sand. bUT REYS NEW LIGHTSABER BRO THATS SO COOL

anyway i actually really enjoyed it! i think it’s nice for my generation to have our own set of star wars movies, especially one with such a diverse cast and developed characters, despite its flaws
