okay but!! nsfw ingo hcs!! i can def provide those <33!

notes: no particular warnings :)!

Ingo was a total workaholic back in Unova and, honestly, still is. (Though the reasons behind this have shifted as he was thrown back into the past.) Because of that, he doesn’t have much experience in the way of relationships, even less when it comes to sex. Long story short: Ingo is either a virgin, or his lack of practice combined with memory loss might as well make him one. He jacks off a lot more often than you might expect, though. He’s often so tired and tense, it’s an easy way to get his mind off of things.

You wouldn’t be able to tell if he wanted to have sex with you or not, because he just... Wouldn’t tell you. You could be the object of his fantasies every night and his face would never betray a thing. All his tells are subtle, but he gains a tendency of tugging on the brim of his hat so he doesn’t have to look you in the eye. It doesn’t help that, unless you’re direct, flirting tends to not register to him. You have to tell him if you want anything, because Ingo’s assumption will always be that you don’t. Even if just hugging you makes him feel... Strange... He’ll keep it hidden from you as best as he can. 

You’ll never see him as expressive as while you’re touching him. He just melts. Whenever he cums from your touch, he tears up. Ingo hasn’t gotten all that much physical affection in literal years, and he’s sensitive, shuddering at every little thing. He loves just having your hands on him, or your arms around him. It’s all overwhelming to him, but not in a bad way. Though he’s definitely the type who can cum near untouched, just from having you in his lap and making out or something similar.

This man is loud. Ingo already has trouble with volume control in his daily life, but he makes so much noise during sex that he even notices himself. It’s nothing coheren, mostly moans and whines, with the occasional choppy sentence in between. Ingo loses his train of thought before he can finish any of them. He’s honestly thankful if you stuff your fingers in his mouth. It’s one of the few things that genuinely embarrass him. At least you can always tell when he’s enjoying himself!

Ingo’s not into anything particularly ‘out there’. He’d be just fine with letting you take the lead and, even if you don’t, he’ll still be more into giving pleasure than receiving. (At the very least, he makes sure you get off an equal amount of times!) It’s really nice to him that he’s making you feel good. So much so that you might need to tell him to stop to keep from overstimulating you. Though your first time together will have a lot of fumbling around on his part, it’s not for a lack of trying. Ingo listens eagerly to whatever you tell him to do. He’s willing to go along with quite a lot if you bring it up to him, but he doesn’t want to cause you any pain. It’s simply not appealing to him. 

Other than that though, he’d like praise and/or body worship! Both giving and receiving. Though he’s very squirmy during the latter, and would really take his time with the former. Also, you should definitely sit on his face of you have a vagina. ...Maybe he likes the idea of public sex just a little, but with how loud he is, it’d be near impossible to pull off. He doesn’t want to get caught. He’d hate to think of himself as a pervert.

Match up (◕‿◕✿)

hi!! tysm again for the previous matchup ♡ this time, can i have a matchup for ikevamp pls? here is my updated info! :

intj-t, lawful neutral, slytherin, & scorpio! i have a younger identical twin sis that i love coddling and annoying sm. i’m 5'5 & my black medium-length straight-ish hair is usually in a ponytail & i have dark brown eyes.

i am VERY and EXTREMELY secretive, smart, competitive, ambitious, deep, open-minded, passionate, dark, insecure, observant, distant, resourceful, complex, & mature. i’m generally a shy/quiet person (esp. at first!), but i can be really talkative. sometimes i get too arrogant & i easily get jealous, annoyed, lazy, & bored. i’m also a fast learner, hopeless romantic, perfectionist, & daydreamer! i’m quick to adapt to new situations. i strive to be the best. i wish to find a purpose, to be important.

i love/require praise, attention, & affection. i also love cleaning and organizing (but i’m quite messy myself). some things i love are: GAMES (games, aside from my family, are my whole entire life. games are probably the thing i love the most, second would be the moon), reading/writing, the sky/moon, history, architecture, science, mythology, nature, learning new things, & being alone (sometimes it gets too lonely tho). i want others to always tell me the truth even if it hurts (i don’t see the point in sugar-coating n lying to make others feel better), but i’m really good at lying.

i have a great memory, but i’m quite forgetful. i really like messing w/ others, i have a rbf, and i swear a lot. i’m GREAT in school and mostly all subjects, such as math, science, history, computer, english, and french (foreign language! not fluent yet but i’m the best in my class). i love the language latin a lot along with mystery and the like.

i usually feel kinda empty but my feelings and emotions are always so strong. i’m sorta intimidating, i think? i remember once i was just staring at a wall and a friend passed by and told me i looked scary. i’m always thinking/doing something, and i’m quite a moody person!

i coop up my emotions a lot, along with otherthinking. i really hate being weak in front of others, being inferior, and blind faith. it takes a while for me to open up, i rarely trust others. it seems like idc, but i care a lot a lot. i’m not afraid of getting hurt. i usually take care of others more than the opposite. i think to myself a lot, i tend to push ppl away, & i find it kinda hard to express my emotions.

i’m good with words & i need a lot of reassurance in relationships (physical, words). i tend to use insults as a term of endearment. i like pda, but not too much! i’m actually a bit oblivious when it comes signs in relationships + i hate not knowing and being unsure, so i rarely act first since i also can’t read people when it comes to me.

tysm, again!! as i said before, take your time and take care of yourself ♡ hope you’re doing well, have a great day! (i hope this isn’t too long! tysm again ♡)

Hi, hi, love! ❤❤🌻Thank you so much for sending another request! I’m glad you liked the last one! Sorry for taking super long with this! 🥰😳I hope you enjoy it love and I hope you are also doing well and looking after yourself! Sending ya lots o hugs!❤❤🌻 @x-jodi-x​

So I match you with……………….. Arthur

The first time Arthur saw you, all he could think was how positively intimidating you looked. You had arrived earlier that evening through a magical door and upon arrival, Comte and Sabastain had explained the whole situation to you. By the time they were done with their explanation, the sun had dipped beneath the horizon, and it was past dinner time. You had arrived on a special night—the night of the mansions annual anniversary. 

Comte had invited you to the dinner, and you now sat at the tabled filled with the various historical figures. Once introductions were over, you retreated into your shy reserved shell and ate your food in silence, only nodding and sending Comte a shy smile whenever he would talk to you.

You found yourself zoning out halfway through dinner, daydreaming while staring at the wall in front of you. Arthur, who sat across from you, felt shivers down his spine as he tried to talk to you while you were zoned out. You were wearing the most fighting look, and he through he might have said something to offend you, and that is why you refused to respond to his playful flirty questions. 

Once the dinner had ended and everyone was on their way back to their rooms, Arthur had pulled you aside to apologize if he had said something to make you cross at him. You blankly stared at the man who was now fidgeting before you, “Huh? You didn’t say anything to offend me,” you offered him a shy reassuring smile. “Little bird you were practically glaring daggers at me,” you couldn’t help burst out laughing at the man as you explained that you were simply daydreaming. 

You had left Arthur alone in the dining room, staring after you. He was feeling rather silly now for apologizing, although he couldn’t help but smile, you were a fascinating creature. He decided to whisk you away the next day before Sabastian could rope you into helping out with the chores. You were a new little skirt, and Arthur couldn’t help but want to get to know you better. He invited you along with him to work on a case. 

This man was in utter awe with you, you were indeed unlike any woman he has ever met. Most would have felt scared or daunted, being thrown into the past and having to live in a house full of vampires. Yet here you were already adapted to your new life. He was amazed at how well you had adapted to the change and environment, working hard to make your place in this new world. 

Everything you did surprise this man. Since working your first case together, he had dragged you along with him on many more little cases, and you found yourself becoming more and more talkative with Arthur. Arthur loved how observant and resourceful you were. Having you by his side as an assistant made solving cases a breeze, and the two of you actually became well know around the town as the two best mystery detectives. 

The more time Arthur spent with you, the more he found himself drawn to you, in fact, since the two of you cuties started working cases together, he has only had eyes for you. No woman has ever captured his interest quite like you, you were complex and mysterious, and he found himself drawn to your somewhat secretive personality.

The two of you have many things in common, one of them being your mutual love for games. This love of yours was revealed to Arthur during one of your cases, when you were easily able to solve a puzzle. He couldn't help but smile at the pure look of joy on your face as you breezily solved the riddle. Since then, you and Arthur have made it a somewhat tradition to have a weekly game night. Where the two of you would challenge each other to every and any game. Arthur loved the way you would put your all into every game, competitively smack talking him and refusing defeat, always asking for a rematch until you wiped the floor with the mystery author. It was clear to anyone who would watch these intense gaming competitions, that Arthur was absolutely smitten with you. You were one of the few people that could actually match his wit and intellect, and win a game against this clever man. Oh, this man absolutely adored your arrogant, competitive side, and he couldn’t help but chuckle at the way you would swear whenever you lost a match.

Another thing that the two of you cuties have in common that drives all the residents mad, is that both of you love to mess with others. The pair of you are always snickering together whenever you pull a prank on one of the residents. Of course, your favourite is to mess with each other, whether that is lightly teasing the man about his hatred for Sherlock Holmes or pulling hilarious pranks on each other, its always a good time.   

Of course, through your friendship with this mystery writer, both of you have found yourselves in many a deep conversation. Some nights when you are feeling insecure, Arthur will pick up on your feelings, and instead of playing board games, he will make you a cup of tea and wrap you in a warm blankie. He knows how secretive you are, so he will patiently wait for you to open up to him. 

Which is precisely what you did one night when you were in a dark space. Arthur took you by the hand and led you outside so the two of you could take a pleasant little stroll under the moonlight. He remembered that you loved the moon more than anything, so he decided it would be the easiest way to cheer you up. As the two of you strolled around the gardens, you found yourself opening up to the man about your insecurities, just as Arthur had told you all about his past and all the trauma and demons that still haunt him. It was hard for you to open up to the man as you hated appearing weak or inferior. However, Arthur never once judged you, instead, offering you words of reassurance as he squeezed your hand and smiled at you. That night you saw another side of Arthur, not the playboy, that was always smiling and flirting, but the sensitive kind man he truly was, and you found yourself falling even more in love. 

Arthur loved how bloody cleaver you were, you seemed to know a little bit about every topic. This man will often seek you out to pick your brain about random topics for inspiration for his books. He found your knowledge about mythology most amusing and even created a Sherlock book based on what you had taught him about mythology. 

This man is always smiling like a fool whenever you just plonk yourself down on his bed while he is writing, to read a book of your own or do some of your own writing. He loves to hear all about the new things you have learned through your studies, and often the two of you would chat for hours upon hours about various subjects running from, maths, science, languages, architecture and even nature. 

Arthur can’t help but find it intriguing how someone that loves and is so good at cleaning, can be so messy. You are truly a mystery to this man, and he can’t help but be utterly and entirely in love with you. Despite all your attempts at distancing yourself from him or pushing him away, he still found himself drawn to you. He decided one day that he had to confess his feeling, or he would go mad. He knew you were a hopeless romantic, so he pulled out all the stops. 

He planned a candlelit dinner in the gazebo in the private secluded part of the garden. He made sure to get you your favourite flowers, and he even dressed Vic up as a little butler, to add to the fun of the night. The night progressed smoothly and without a hitch. You honestly never suspected that he was playing on asking you to be his lover, as you were rather oblivious when it came to these things. After dessert, Vic jumped up onto your lap and handed you a sealed envelope. Inside was a love letter confessing Arthur’s absolute undying love for you. He had even added a personal little touch of adding some Latin into the letter for you to figure out. Arthur watched you curiously, fidgeting slightly at the thought of being rejected. Imagine his surprised when you actually told him you loved and cared for him as much as he did for you. He knew you were not very good at picking up romantic cues, so he was also slightly unsure whether you actually liked him or not. The two of you met in the sweetest kiss, and the rest is history.

The two of you were the cutest most affectionate couple. Arthur knew you liked being alone so he would give you plenty of space and alone time, knowing that you would come and seek him out if you were feeling too lonely. He would 100% shower you in hugs and cuddles from the moment you wake up till the moment you go to bed.

He knows you find it hard to express your emotions and feelings and has learned to read your body language like a book. This man will instantly be able to tell if you are feeling sad or upset. He will gently wrap you in his arms and kiss your temple as he asks you to tell him all your worries and anxieties. He knows the best way to banish overthinking is to talk about the problems at hand. After you have told him everything on your mind, he will shower your face with cute little kisses while reassuring you. 

You will never have a shortage of praise and reassurance with this man, as he is forever telling you just how wonderful you are and just how much he absolutely loves and adores you. 

Arthur low key loves it when you get jealous, especially if he meets an old female friend in town. He will always chuckle once the woman has left and cup your face in his hand while he kisses you on the nose. “Honestly luv, your jealous face is A-DOR-AB-LE.” 

He loves holding your tiny hand in his whenever the two of you are out together, and this man will shamelessly kiss you no matter where you are, public or private. 

He is always wearing the biggest smile at the insulting little pet names you give him. He knows that your way of showing affection so he will always smile like the biggest fool, regardless of what you call him.

Often the two of you cuties can be found just lazing around the mansion together, Arthur love to hold you in his arms while you read to him, whether it is the newest piece of your writing or a new book that has caught your interest. This man is at his happiest when you are nestled in his arms. He loves to low key coddle you a little and will be the type you present you with coffee and breakfast in bed on occasion. 

His love languages are physical touch and words of affirmation, so this boy is forever kissing or nibbling on your ear while whispering the sweetest endearments in your ears.

I hope you enjoyed this dear and I hope you have the best day! 😳🥰❤

[perpetualmood]

not an anti your anti-anti post got popular so i wanted to know why u ship bkdk? i'm genuinely curious bc i;ve only seen ppl say it's abusive and i'm new to mha

first of all anon thank you for approaching me respectfully about this. there are a lot of people i know who aren’t as lucky but really, thank you for possessing the basic human decency that so many others on this fucking hellsite can’t muster. 

now, first of all let me say that i’m not a “““hardcore shipper””” or anything of the sort. i just think that bakudeku/katsudeku has a pretty good dynamic with lots of potential, along with a lot of other plausible ships in the series. i don’t get into a series for its ships, and even when i ship something i won’t let it take over my experience of fandom, which is why i’m def posting less bnha and ship discourse. this’ll probably be my last post about it, ever.

now, about bakudeku. 

on bkdk being abusive:

it is not. 

i first want to clarify that while bakugou bullied midoriya in the past, that doesn’t fucking make it abuse. i know abusers, and i know bullies. bakugou was shitty, and i’m not excusing his actions or saying they were okay because they were fucking not. most antis get all their fuel with the line “take a swan dive from the roof” that bakugou says to midoriya in the first chapter. 

did he actually mean it? did bakugou, a boy who was told all his life he would be a hero,��who wanted to be a hero, say it with the intent of midoriya actually killing himself? no, he didn’t. it would go against everything a hero stood for, and being a hero was bakugou’s only aspiration in his life. unless anyone is iterating that he’s stupid (which canon proves otherwise almost constantly) he knew that when he said it, midoriya wouldn’t do it. 

(and while it is important to note that horikoshi has explicitly said that he went too far with that line, as it is not how bakugou should be seen and/or characterised, i’m still treating it as canon because it is, antis don’t @ me.)

and, as midoriya makes very clear later, he has absolutely no intention of taking bakugou’s words seriously. instead, he brushes it off as ‘kacchan being a proud idiot who doesn’t think before he speaks’. however, while he did not take those words seriously, that doesn’t mean they didn’t hurt even a little. his expression when bakugou says it is hurt, but more than that, shocked. obviously, anyone with a brain can infer that it is not something midoriya is accustomed to hearing things like that from bakugou. if it had been a regular occurrence, his reaction would have been a lot more subdued as he would have heard it before and therefore expected it.

even if you look at the scene later on, bakugou does not go out of his way to target or even interact with midoriya up until their teacher brings up the fact that midoriya wants to go to ua. bakugou does not see midoriya as “his old friend” or “the kid who he grew up with”. what he sees is “a quirkless kid who can’t do anything is trying to get in his alley, the one that everyone told him was handcrafted for him”. is he right? absolutely fucking not. does he realise this? again, no. this all leads to bakugou having a major gifted kid + inferiority complex, but i digress.

(i feel like it’s necessary to say once again that i am not condoning bakugou’s behaviour just because he didn’t really intend for midoriya to commit suicide or midoriya didn’t take it seriously, or saying that it’s okay if nothing happened.)

anyway, back on topic. later during the final exams arc, midoriya also states explicitly that he and bakugou have not talked properly to one another since they were kids. this makes it clear that bakugou did not, in fact, ceaselessly torment midoriya throughout their elementary school/junior high years. they just didn’t interact, plain and simple. the experience shown on the playground when they were four and the one after school on this day were likely two of very few, perhaps ten at most, incidents in which bakugou and midoriya’s difference in power and therefore status was made clear to show what it means to be quirkless in this society. 

(i’d like to talk about how fucking messed up this society is, but that’s a whole other can of worms.)

bakugou has been a bully to midoriya. has he been abusive? absolutely fucking not. do i think their relationship is repairable? yes. i’ve been bullied before. i know what it’s like when you can reconcile with your bully and when you can’t. this is very clearly something that can be salvaged. 

on their canon relationship:

do i think of bakudeku as a “he pulled your pigtails because he likes you” situation? am i infatuated with the ever-popular childhood friend trope? not a chance, and dismissing any shipper’s evaluation of their relationship to that is fucking low. 

let’s start with their relationship at the beginning. bakugou harbours obvious animosity towards midoriya, and the only reason appears to be that it was because he was quirkless. (again, fuck quirk society) bakugou had always been told he was superior, and midoriya had always been told that he was nothing without a quirk. when you’re a young and impressionable child, having these things said to you a lot will make you believe it. in a sense, it’s akin to brainwashing. bakugou was made to believe that midoriya was worthless in comparison to him, a natural-born hero, and midoriya was made to believe that bakugou was amazing and undefeatable. 

there were a lot of ways it could have turned out, honestly. midoriya could have become someone bakugou saw as someone needing protecting, and as cliched as their relationship would have been were that the case, it would have been the only ““functional”” one they could have had. hence the dysfunction, because midoriya is not someone who can sit back and take hits. he wants to be a hero, which is half the reason he admired bakugou in the first place. 

so in the beginning of canon when midoriya’s desire to go to ua to be a hero is made known, bakugou, as i said before, feels as though his space has been invaded. he’s marked his territory, and all of a sudden this quirkless nobody i used to know wants to take it from me. of course, his way of thinking is wrong, but he’s never been corrected properly (sorry mitsuki, i love you but you’re not good at parenting, and masaru, please do something about your emotionally constipated son). 

bakugou’s reaction to midoriya saying he “just wants to try” makes it look like it was just a trivial matter for midoriya, as opposed to bakugou, who has been working towards wanting to become a hero since he was small (as opposed to midoriya who wanted to as well, yes, but never did anything being analysing the heroes for fun). he feels as though midoriya is going through it with a ‘meh’ attitude, which deeply offended by the sentiment and takes it personally. 

so bakugou obviously hates it. he hates feeling like someone that was, in his words, “a pebble in [his] path” could possibly even fathom overtaking him, when they were compared all the time. 

additionally, midoriya has been a part of bakugou’s ego fodder. he followed him around, praised him like the rest, yes, but it’s very important to note that even though midoriya showered bakugou with praise he still talked to him as though he would someday be on that same level, even as a kid. 

they were kids. they were dumb. but you  know what? they grew. 

bakugou especially has gone through so much development, even comparing him to the piece of shit he was in chapter 1 is a huge insult to bakugou, to horikoshi, and to midoriya, who has played an enormous part in it, especially after the sludge villain when it is very explicitly stated that bakugou didn’t even interact with midoriya until 

in the beginning of their first year at ua, bakugou learned for the first time what it meant to have people who were equal to him, that he wasn’t as exceptional as he thought. midoriya, too learned what it meant to stand as equals, but instead of falling from a platform above, he was thrown up from the ground. and during the battle trial, bakugou tasted bitter defeat for the first time, and it shook him to the point where he had a panic attack in class (which i’m disappointed all might didn’t notice, but i digress) upon seeing midoriya get k.o.-ed but still win while he was left unscathed physically, and lost to deku of all people. 

do i think their dynamic from the beginning of the year would have worked as a ship? no, abso-fucking-lutely not. bakugou feels nothing but betrayal (as in, he would obviously believe midoriya was hiding his quirk from him and lying to him their whole lives) and hatred for midoriya up until the battle trial, after which he doesn’t respect or even accept midoriya, but he acknowledges him because he beat him and then admitted half the secret to his quirk. 

their relationship is an absolute shitshow for a long time and it shows, but the battle trial was a huge part in the beginning of their relationship developing. and of course, it has to – midoriya is the protagonist and bakugou is the deuteragonist, after all. 

but the real turning point where bakugou comes to grudgingly accept midoriya is during their final exams before the training camp, where they went up against all might. being forced to work together and for bakugou to have to listen to midoriya really showed us depth in him we hadn’t seen before. sadly, all might was absolutely no help in their teamwork (despite that being the entire reason aizawa had paired bakugou and midoriya together) and instead made them try to focus on defeating him rather than working together, but somehow, that got the two of them to cooperate in battle. 

(personally, i believe that they would have been better matched against a more strategic teacher like aizawa or nedzu as they would be forced to come up with a strategy together, and all might provided an unrealistic situation for them overall and the entire fight makes absolutely little to no use of their intelligence, something that is canonically a prevalent strength for both of them.)

but honestly, after kacchan vs deku 2, where they finally become ““proper rivals”” according to all might, where they both finally, finally talk out their issues and try to patch their shit up. @dekatsu​ explains it really well here and i’ve rambled for long enough about it.

now, after that fight, they’re both at a point where instead of being at each other’s throats, they’re pushing each other forward, and that’s why i like them together so much, whether platonic or romantic. which brings me to...

what i like about bkdk

aka, the thing you asked me in the first place. 

do i approve of their relationship before kacchan vs deku 2? no. but after the fight, it blossoms into something absolutely brilliant. while they’re on their house arrest in the days after their fight, midoriya asks bakugou about his shoot style, and bakugou tells him exactly what he thinks and how it can be improved. and he admits, however backwardly, that he approved of it. 

from literally that moment on, their communication and relationship develops so so much (not getting into the later arcs because manga spoilers) and bakugou becomes a huge part of the “one for all” secret, and every. single. time he sees midoriya use it, he encourages him in his competitive way and he does want to make sure he sees deku become a great hero, dammit.

relationships where both parties push each other to do better always seem to be the ones that work best. bakugou is constantly striving now not just to better himself, but he’s making sure that midoriya is getting better too. the more the story progresses, the closer they grow. 

we’re at a point where bakugou sits in on midoriya’s meetings with all might about one for all and its technicalities and history, and is willing to train separately with midoriya because of it. they don’t have any problems with each other now -- even all might has properly acknowledged bakugou and midoriya as great friends. 

it’s indisputable. 

and whether you ship it or not, now if you deny that they have a bond that’s strong as fuck, you’re only making yourself look silly. 

platonic or romantic, these two have chemistry and they complement each other so well that it almost hurts. i can’t wait to see them grow into a hero duo. 

. . .

anyway, that’s the end of my 2k+ word long meta (which i honestly wouldn’t have been able to complete without the help of a tumblr friend who would like to stay anonymous) and i hope it answers your question and hopefully, it showed you a side of things that not only the antis are seeing. thanx, this is been my last ship discourse post.

[valeriemperez]

Any other asks about the latest fandom incident are going under this cut, and I will not be making another post about it:

Just kinda feels like you're placing more of the blame on GG then you are on the actual media that could do better. I feel that GG has a right to stand up for himself. And it's suddenly his fault and his responsibility to shield CP from racism.

Though it may feel that way, it’s not what is happening. This is why I retweeted and liked tweets directed at media outlets, whereas all I did to Grant was like his post and say “no one deserves to be body shamed.”

Honestly no a week won't a difference in a long run imo. I don't think as racists keep piling on her she'll think "oh well I had that one week that wasn't so bad so I guess this is fine " I guess for me what GG does for CP behind the scenes has more of a long term effect then making things a little less worse for one week.

I am sure that Grant and Candice’s actions BTS have more of a long term effect on the show, I never suggested otherwise. On fandom behavior? Not at all.

I think you're giving the uglier side of the fandom way too much credit. When GG supported the "run iris run" it only inspired parts of the fandom to be against it. Take a browse through the comment section of the iris poster that's on his IG. I legit argued with a GG Stan on Instagram that they should be kinder CP cause she's GG's friend and the response was "I don't care if GG likes her I'm still going to hate her." At most they'll pretend to be nice for a week then go back to being horrible

G supporting RIR inspired some people to comment negatively, sure. But him making a post after that saying, “If you are hateful and racist towards my friend and costar, I will block you” probably would not cause that same reaction. But we will never know.

I actually disagree if you think public support is more important than the private support he's given her. I think a lot of you have some unreasonable expectations of GG making a post and the fandom going "guess we won't be racist anymore". GG is not enough to make someone give up that kind of hate in their heart I'm sorry if you thought he'd be the one to solve that problem. What he's done for her BTS and to the producers has a much longer effect then maybe the fandom playing nice for a day

I don’t think public support is more important, and I don’t think it’ll stop racism. This sounds similar to the ask above, so I think the same answer stands.

Yeah he'll shut haters up for a day. Then the SB fans who hate when GG does something nice for CP will get more jealous and aggressive. The fanboys who hate CP and will always hate her will continue to attack her. I'm not saying him publicly saying it won't be nice but if it does happen I think a lot of you will be disappointed in that it probably won't change anything.

We’ll never know.

Honest I feel like GG could publicly speak out but when it doesn't fix anything the fandom will continue to blame GG for everything. Especially since to me it makes more sense to confront media sites for not doing more for CP then to blame GG for having the gall to stand up for himself.

We have been confronting the media sites about it, don’t worry.

So Grant is only allowed to publicly defend himself if he defends other people? Also at some point it became his sole responsibility to defend everyone else? Maybe I'm reading you wrong but you're coming across as saying "Since he's not showing the support I want him to show that means he's not supportive to Candice".

I never said that, he is very welcome to defend himself. And yes, you are reading it wrong, because I have specifically stated that he is supportive of Candice and that she receives and appreciates that support.

Your stance on this seriously is that the reason CP continues to get racist attacks is because GG never made a public statement. I think you have this idea that GG is willfully denying CP any relief from being attacked. Even with GG's case the people who supported him are the ones who always supported him. The people who attacked him were pretty much laughing at him saying they won't stop because he made a post. GG got some press for sure but it won't change anything in the long run.

No, that is not my stance. My stance is that Grant has the power to make more people aware of the situation, and to make some people feel shame for their actions, but he hasn’t used it. Several people who attacked him beforehand apologized in the comments and said they hadn’t thought about it that way.

Several of his coworkers commented on the post he made supporting him and Shethority reposted his statement on their IG story to show love. Whereas when he accidentally liked the comment saying Iris should be killed off, he did not make a comment on Candice’s insta saying “I love working with you and can’t wait to continue!” or whatever, he merely went to the IGs of people claiming he wanted her killed off to say he never meant to like that comment. Whether things will change in the long run or not, all I said is that Grant doesn’t make videos or posts or leave comments when it comes to the hatred his co-stars have been sent. That’s it, that’s the whole point.

I know you're not saying more but I want to say this last thing. You're actually not simply saying he's doesn't publicly support her you're twisting it into a thing where GG is the reason CP gets racial attacks everyday and assuming you know what the outcome will be if he supports her the way you want her to be supported. You're more accusing GG of something that's not his fault.

You’re twisting it into that, I’m specifically not saying that. I already said we don’t know the outcome if he were to speak out publicly.

I mean he gave a lot of support for Candice for the Run Iris Run episode. He actually did say how great she was in it which goes along with the "I love working with you" comment that you want him to do. I guess I'm confused cause he has given that kind of public support you want him to give her but you don't want to recognize it?

I already acknowledged that he’s given her support. I’m specifically talking about pushing back against the hatred, as opposed to “I don’t see that in my mentions” or whatever. I don’t know what else you want me to say, because I still enjoy Grant as an actor and their dynamic as costars. 

But lets be real here no matter what GG does he ain't changing anyone's mind. Him making a post might make you feel better about things but I doubt it'll actually making any difference to how the fandom treats CP. It just sucks that to you none of the previous support GG has given CP matters because to you the only thing that matters is that he give a public statement that would maybe have the fandom behave for no more than a week.

I already said that we will never know what would happen, and that it isn’t the only thing that matters. You’re the one twisting my words.

I don't get it tho wouldn't GG's actions having more of a long term effect on the show be more important and useful to CP? I certainly find it more important. I'd rather GG stick up for CP and WA behind the scenes and ensure their place of importance on the show then him making this grand public statement you want that might (and this is a big MIGHT) make the fandom play nice to CP for a short period.

I’m very happy with the support Grant has shown Candice behind the scenes, and I know she is happy with it as well. It’s not an either/or situation.

You're kind of sounding like Candice hasn't received support from Coworkers, producers, and shethority. Yes for one day they showed support to Grant but that doesn't erase the support they've given Candice in the past and will continue to do so in the future. It feels like you're mad people showed GG support, are they not allowed to do that?

I have already explained several times that Candice is not without support or friendship. My original statements were as they stand. Grant supports Candice and presumably others in private and in a way that satisfies her. Grant has not publicly spoken up about fandom racism or the misogyny directed against his costars. CNN and TIME etc. would need a lot more than a post from Candice or Anna to write up pieces meant to shame the racists. 

Well, reading all of that was draining. I'm glad CP doesn't require the support of others to stand up for herself. I'm disappointed that she is so often there alone fending for herself (on social media). I don't know what goes on BTS and don't care. It's like having your racist grandma around a POC..."she'll call you n-word but she's old and you know I'm not like that." "Can you just tell her not to call me that?" "Huh, oh no, she won't change, just ignore her, but I like you so its ok."

I’m sorry it was difficult to read. :( And I definitely understand that feeling of helplessness.

(1)Wow. I’m really srry ppl keep misconstruing what you were saying about the GG incident. Some fans seem to be getting VERY sensitive about this situation on his behalf. You were literally just stating facts. He has never publicly defended CP from the negativity she receives from fandom. He’s not obligated to do it, but it would be nice if he did. She clearly has his support BTS but that has little to no effect on negative fandom behavior. (2)GG publicly defending CP wouldn’t automatically make the racist misogynistic haters like her, but them knowing they would potentially catch a block from him would definitely curb the negativity thrown her way, & anyone who doesn’t think so really underestimates GG’s power in this fandom.

Thank you, love. And yes, that’s pretty much all I’m saying.

What was the AV club incident ? And the dm grant sent ? :)

Grant accidentally retweeted an article praising Flash S1 that said Candice’s Iris was the weak link and she should then be recast. He picked one fan to follow and DM his apology that he hadn’t actually read the whole thing and that he loves his whole cast, then deleted his retweet. AJK kept his retweet up despite backlash, meanwhile.

I think the wording is what's throwing some Anons off. You're not saying GG has never publicly supported CP cause we all know he has The support he gave RIR being one example. I think what's being said here is people wished he "called out" that racist part of the fandom. Like you said it's not an either/or situation. GG has shown CP support both publicly and BTS but in this one area some wished he did more. Doesn't make GG a bad person nor does it remove the love and support between him and CP

You’re probably right. And yes to everything you said!

House MD season 2

30 second episode recaps from someone whos just watched em for the first time and has bad recall

Ep1: they gotta cure the death row dude so he can go back to death row to b killed, cameron is Bad at telling ppl they're dying, house n Wilson had lunch with the coma guy, they cured death row man, also they changed the theme and I hate it Ep2: House has hayfever lmao, this cancer girl with hallucinations is honestly just the coolest she's so positive I love her, shes nine and got chase to kiss her hero,, house an Wilson have a shared balcony amazing, Wilson is so good and pure and is amazing at his job holy shit I love this man. House actually 'temporarily killed' the patient to cure her and made people run drills on a dead man. House is 400% going to buy a motorbike Ep3: i prayed for Cuddy's handyman to fall off her roof past the window and then god answered my prayers and he did, house broke into Cuddy's house mainly to look at her underwear lbr and then won the 'can we chop off his arm' argument, house secretly speaks spanish and waited for the most dramatic moment to reveal this, they gate crashed a cock fight (ayy) and saved the patient Ep4: the patient is a doctor with an ego ((according to house lmao pot, kettle)) who wanted to sit in on the diagnostic process and honestly is actually full of himself,, house puts him on a tippy table and cranks it up, foreman made a patient cry except he was pretending to be house lmao house got in shit,, Cameron needs to stop please, can the patient get his head out his arse please. house gatecrashes the press conference that the patient called and managed to put him into cardiac arrest on live television and eventually cured him of everything cept bein a knob Ep5: Wilson's handwriting is such doctor handwriting and house definitely bought a motorbike and made Wilson pay for it he's so pleased with himself. The kid keeps getting electrocuted but like,, by his own body. House is avoiding his parents but Cameron n Wilson aren't letting him get away with it. I love house n Wilson's friendship so much it's worth 5k apparently lmao. These patients are fukin serial liars jc why are ppl like this, it was rADIATION wow houses dad is a fucking DICK. There were so many good interactions and the house/wilson ship is sailing Ep6: there was a cyclist who took a LOT of drugs which turned out to be curing him of the thing he had, house is a douchebag but we all knew that - he may b a dick to mark but m sure mark deserves it n I love him anyway. Wilson remains a sweet boy even if he cheats idgaf he's adorable look at him ((wilson: i net someone who made me feel funny, me: was it hOUSE)),, he n house are balcony buddies and house shud stop stealing his food, and he should definitely stop digging thru stacys life but actually fuck it why not he's not gunna let go of this why is she so pissy i wanna know Ep7: I love houses new pet rat Steve McQueen,, Wilson is 4000% done with houses Stacy related antics which is fair tbh he should stop but I actually don't give much of a shit about Stacy I've taken against her....he did deserve what she said after reading her file tho. The patient may have given Cameron aids and Cameron got high and slept with Chase, who she may have given aids lmao these ppl r messes but not as much of a mess as that father/son relationship jc...i dont remember anything else about the patient whoops Ep8: chase is being suuuueeeeddd and he keeps lying about why lmao,, house fuckin reamed him one which was probably called for but maybe not like that, turns out chase screwed up cus his dad died and foreman is houses boss ((supervisor)) now how well do u think that's gunna work (((not very))) Stacy's still a bitch and has ~~feelings~~ Ep9: foreman is in charge and house is doing his utmost best to be the dick of the year and it's fucking hilarious honestly I love this man the shit he pulls jc,,, Wilson is super aware of houses antics as usual and had a mild gay panic when foreman started to question him about house,, the patient was a big ol Faker™ but surprise surprise she was actually sick this time ((house totally injected her with a load of stuff so she’d b readmitted after they’s released her)) Ep10: house solved a case thru the phone alone and spent most of the ep at the airport except for those five minutes when he almost slept with Stacy who once had a terrible experience with curry apparently and called house a vindaloo, nice restraint very well timed phone call thank fuck,,, they will sleep together tho and I am Not Happy about it....the power play amongst the fellows is a boiling pot of trouble - the patient was v interesting I enjoyed the word scramble game Ep12: WHAT A GOOD FUCKIN EP so the patient orgasmed in the white chamber while unconscious and covered in burns but more importantly house gatecrashed the lecture of his old archenemy that he had arranged just so he could disturb it and criticise the dude who got him thrown out of med school for snitchin on his cheating all whilst Wilson told him to get better hobbies (('a hooker anything please')),, to test this dudes migraine meds he gave deliberately himself a migraine and the meds didn't work (unsurprising) so the fellows turned out all the lights while he had a nap under the table,, wilson took a diff approach and deliberately made a Lot of noise because he is a Shit even if he hides it better than house,,,, then house dropped a tab of acid and took a bunch of antidepressants, and cured his migraine as well as the patient Ep13: houses leg was super duper sore but at least we got some fantastic house/wilson interaction when wilson pretended to be God during that MRI, even if house hit him with a cane.... The patient was a teen supermodel who seduced her own father to get whatever she wanted,, house was super sure she had cancer and it turns out she did but it was testicular because she had xy chromosomes and was immune to testosterone - which was really fucking interesting...... Also cuddy played house like a violin and gave him placebo saline instead of a morphine shot to prove to him that his leg pain was psychological Ep14: House is stealing organs now. Ok so technically he did get the husband's permission to steal his newly dead wife’s heart for the dying old dude with a strangely young daughter but only after he kneed house in the balls super hard. House spent the whole ep goin on at wilson about the affair he thought he was having and at the end wilson showed up on houses doorstep but sURPRIse !! It was his wife who was sleeping around!! poor baby Wilson I know what goes around comes around but he's such a kicked puppy cmon Ep15: Wilson and house living together is a recipe for disaster and I'm living for it so good so many good interactions I love that house is gunna keep him for his food ((I'll never b over house hearing the voicemail about Wilson's new place, looking over at him sleeping on the couch and then deleting it so he has to stay)). The patient had a super cool marriage and didn't have lupus except whoops actually not a happy marriage his wife is tryna kill him thru gold poisoning. House needs to stop accosting ppl in bathrooms and should also stop destroying marriages Ep16: oh man good shit so,, first of all house n Wilson are still living together and there are some Domestic Antics happening right here including but not limited to a prank war which house desperately tried to get Wilson to participate in, the peak of which had house making Wilson wet the couch and Wilson sabotaging houses cane. The patients mum was ridiculously overprotective and house essentially kidnapped the patient to find the tick noone else thought was there,, surprisingly Wilson helped set that up despite the fact house was the reason he woke up wet that morning Ep17: first things first house could absolutely clean everyone out at poker if he knows Cuddy's tells that well through just a phonecall,, also he needs to stop calling Wilson out on his toenail varnish habits lmao. The patient was a smol boy who presented the same symptoms as an unsolved and dead case that house had 12 yrs ago so he really wasn't gunna let this one go cus he's like a dog with a bone. They were in formal wear all ep which was a Good Look™ and Wilson's retelling of how he won the poker championship may have been one of the cutest things I have ever seen Ep18: Emma from Glee is here and she has the black plague,, her gf decided to donate her liver n Cameron was all het up cus house had worked out plague girl was gunna leave her and sending the gf in blind would be ~~unethical~~ but turns out she knew and deliberately did that so Emma would stay with her out of guilt lmao. In other news Cameron's pissy cus foreman 'stole' her article and house spent most of the episode napping cus wilson is fuckin up his sleep cycle ;) I'm upset there was no physical wilson Ep19: the most annoying patient so far appears in the form of a 15 yr old faith healer with herpes. I feel like the degree to which unrelenting niceness irritates me rly says something about me but eh oh well. Chase (ofc it was chase) kept a tally on who was winning God or house, faith healer managed to shrink a womans cancer tumour through giving her herpes (((a miracle praise be))) and during poker night house called wilson out on sleeping with said cancer patient and discovered wilson was actually living with her whoops bad Wilson ((he totally regrets his life choices ((he should)))) Ep20: HOLY SHIT ITS A TWOPARTER AND FOREMANS GUNNA DIE !! Ok so,,, there was this cop who couldn't stop laughing till he could but then it got a lot worse and then foreman caught whatever it was which they began to realise when he smirked as house shot a corpse to see what a bullet in a brain would do to an MRI ((spoilers it broke the machine)) anyway long story short it wasnt the pigeons and the cops dead and foreman is gunna die even after that shitdick move he pulled where he stabbed Cameron with a needle so she'd go to the apartment Ep21: HOO BOY OK SO a lot happened so much happened the most important thing is foreman by the end of the ep is mostly kind of ok - he's just a bit muddled on his lefts n rights. During the ep house was stressed the entire time cus even tho he denys it he does love n care for his ducklings,, he even cares enough to deliberately attempt to poison Steve McQueen which didn't work but can be added to the list of stressful events. Cameron grew a spine a lil bit I literally yelled when she berated cuddy and she forced the biopsy cus foreman had the foresight (ayyyyy) to make her his medical proxy even if house managed to find the problem anyway so it was ultimately unnecessary and has just resulted in some possible brain damage Ep22: house keeps trying to pick a fight with foreman and failing because Foreman's all happy go lucky now, the patient was mad because of a thing and killed her baby accidentally on purpose, the music that played during the baby autopsy was super unnecessary and bizzare, and in the end the woman had cancer but she's refusing treatment cus of the baby guilt. Cuddy didn't have cancer, which we know because Wilson ((WILSON NOT HOUSE)) stole her dna and ran secret tests in the middle of the night, but it still wasn't a date Wilson despite what house said about skin lessions she was actually just going to attempt to use u as a sperm donor - have fun at the L-word marathon with house you big sad loser (I love u) Ep23: we meet an old house friend which is Super fun he is ridiculously naive and I love that he calls house g-man holy shit. House is now giving cuddy injections as part of a fertility treatment which is nice of him especially seeing as his leg was in a Lot of pain this ep,, like a LOT...he's self-injecting morphine now which is probably bad :/ house's friend's daughter was the patient at one point she pooped out her mouth gRoSs and house ran a paternity test n told the girl she was actually the dudes daughter ((except he was lYINg in support of his friend)) he does care Ep24: HOUSE GOT SHOT WHAT IS IT WITH THIS TEAM SUFFERING RN JC this was a very fun episode of 'guess when house is hallucinating', spoilers the answer is all the time the whole ep takes place in his head. That aside I absolutely loved the hospital gown/trainer combo (no I won't apologize) and the fact that house did almost none of his physio - instead relegating it to others which is....not how it works. The hallucinatory clinic patient was freaky deaky his eye exploded and so did his dick but dw cus to escape the hallucination house killed him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ what can u do. At the end house woke up n requested ketamine we'll see how that goes

More info about me

Someone that just found me wrote a pretty lengthy very kind comment about an incident that happened to me almost a year ago related to art theft, or in my case, full unedited videos being reuploaded without my permission. (It’s on that vid on my channel, hard to miss) I’m extremely touched that ppl still write to me about it.. Even if I pretty much have forgotten after so long. So I wanna share my reply here as well because people have been so kind to me and I really think that I owe everybody more info about myself and hope you get to know me even better over time, and ultimately the person you’re supporting and defending. I haven’t been on social media much before I started learning MMD through KH (mostly AkuRoku stuff). Hope you enjoy the read and make sense out of it, being just my part of the reply and all. Thank you for everything! <3

It's been a long time now since that incident happened. I really have nothing more to add other than what was already said and have moved on from it since, but I really wanted to say that I completely agree with you on every single point you've made and I really can't express in words how thankful and humbled I am for still receiving support about this matter. I really wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart for the comment, the kind words and the time you invested in it, it really means a lot and hope more people will read and learn from it!

About my rules for anybody that reads: I'm really not a strict person at all when it comes to my vids, I've mentioned that people do not have to ask me for permission if they wanna use them for montages, music videos, make screenshots, pictures, avatars, any kind of projects or even reaction vids as long as they talk over them and pause if it's a longer vid. I really love it when ppl use my stuff for something and would love to watch what they make, but everything as long as I see their own contribution to it, and most importantly if they credit me. Just name and channel link or the vid used. As long as people have a source to go back to and look at everything, if they wish, it's fine. What I'm really not okay with is not crediting me and cutting out my logo, and of course I am really strongly against reuploading my vids behind my back without making any significant visible edits that really separates them from the original. If they wanna use the full vid or are unsure about something, then I welcome everybody to just ask me about it and I'll be more than happy to reply as soon as I can! ^^ But NEVER after already reuploading some of my most popular funny stuff at the time in their original format, wait for it to get thousands of views and then reach out to me for more under the pretext that a favor was being done to me. Do not categorize people or assume what they think or want. Do not help me this way, I do not need this kind of help and I very much gladly prefer to just grow very very slowly and let people find me over time. The people who are actually interested in my content, and not forcing my stuff onto other people who are not into it, that is not what I'm about.

I'm in no rush to become popular, I just wanna learn and get better. I'm not a YouTuber and I don't currently make any money through YT, but it's hard for some to understand that I'm just a normal person doing and posting stuff just because I love and have a passion for it, and it's fine if people don't like or hate my stuff. Similar to something you said, that's the beauty of diversity and it creates many beautiful things, even if we don't personally agree with some of them. Attention and money always comes second to my passion and if people do wish to support me more through other means, and entirely of their own free will, say for example on Patreon, then I will humbly accept it and try to use it to deliver better and faster content in return. Been doing it for exactly 2 years now for almost nothing but the people's kind words cheering me on, and I don't feel like stopping anytime soon because of that. If I really wanted attention I would have used Sora a lot more often, because let's be honest my most viewed videos on this channel have him, it's a fact and I'm not dumb and ignorant about it. Also I would have shown my face for attention because people say I look just like Axel on my DeviantArt profile pic. Maybe I will someday when I'm ready to talk to the people who support me (I'm not shy but English is not my first language), but if I ever want attention I know how to get it. People need to give me more credit than trying to get attention just by trying to defend myself.. xD I actually can't stay more low than this. If people find me they just find me because they were interested in AkuRoku, KH or MMD, or like you were recommended by someone, or by accident I dunno, or just to hate why not. Anyway back to the rules. When it comes to models and motions however, I am indeed a lot more strict there with reuploading and crediting, but the rules are pretty simple and clear on every single DL page. ^^"

I guess a thing to add at what you've already mentioned is that artists should be careful of people who want to try to take advantage of them, that use manipulation, intimidation and empty threats to corner them 'till they back down and people get away with their work for nothing. Never back down from this kind of people, and I know it's very hard but trying to keep it cool despite whatever is thrown at you always helps with thinking more clearly and coming back with better arguments and replies. Seek other people for help and advice, and even I am more than happy to help and support with what I know and can. As far as how I manage to keep it together... You give me too much credit haha, but truth be told I had to deal with many difficult sometimes life threatening situations (that I really don't like talking about and am not comfortable with), where trying to stay calm was the only option I had. I do not wish that upon anyone ever... Training to become a robotics engineer also helped I guess in communicating with people better.. What people can do however, and what I also did, was study psychology and emotional intelligence in High School because animation has always been my passion and I knew that would come in handy someway or another. And it really does, with everyday life as well. I highly recommend reading some books about that to anyone! :D Especially people interested in animation. I've always been passionate about feelings and emotions in general and hope to show it through what I make (also why I love working on facial animation so much).

Funnily enough I'm better at dealing with hate than praise because that's with what I grew up with. I'm always at a loss of words when people show me kindness, even without knowing me that well. I'm always touched by that and never get used to it, so excuse my awkwardness when I dunno what to reply sometimes and fear of being over repetitive. I don't care if people hate my stuff as long as at least one person enjoys them and as long as I know that I love what I'm doing. I just turn all the hate and sadness into fuel and motivation, if ppl really wanna go at me they'll need to find a better (or worse) way. I never have anything personal with any site or people, nothing personal even with the person who reuploaded my stuff, the only thing that matters to me is my work, the people who care about it and to keep moving forward. But I gotta say, it almost made me think that this game's community might not have been as great as I had first thought at that time, after that incident I mean (known the game for 11 years now but I wasn't invested that much in any gaming communities in general, I just loved playing games and to analyse them and that was about it, until I decided to learn MMD through KH), but I was proven so wrong by so many kind people afterwards and I hope to never let them down or ever think of giving up again. Every game has their bad side of people... But I personally think it's foolish to just ignore them, or worse give in to their hate, but that's just my hotheaded nature I guess. Still in a calm and polite manner! The moment you reply back at their level, it's over. And if someone is serious enough about the things they hate about my work and care to explain, I only see it as positive criticism and would gladly want to know more about it!

Now that all of that is out of the way, haha oh boy. Huge reply, I'm so sorry. XD But I'm not much of a talker and I get a lot of info out at once, also I really appreciate it when ppl write me long comments and try to write more than them as a thank you for their time. <3 About the trying to be mature thing, I'll always be a kid at heart honestly and I'm fine with that. Hope that people will get to know me better over time. Being serious when you have to is what matters and I think you're awesome at it! And I wanna say that I'm really happy and honored that your friend recommended me first... I don't have words to say how much that means to me, but please thank them for me and also thank you for checking out some of my stuff! I'm not that great compared to many MMD'ers, but just like you I keep hoping that I'll get better and keep trying to learn. Please bear with me, haha... ^^" Thank you again for everything, it really means a lot! And I'm sure you'll be way much better than me if you practice even just for a little bit, never give up! :D And sorry for the late reply!

[all-star-brad-hand]

so i finally pretty much saw star trek beyond and i feel like talking about it just a lil tiny bit

first of all i like...i dont know. i had no interest in it and i wasnt expecting it to be good, so i guess im biased. but then at the same time, i was underwhelmed somehow? like i mean the way people kept talking about how much closer to and inspired by tos it was...i didnt get that feeling at all.

the script was just so......so underwhelming. the villain did not interest me, the black and green glowy dudes who looked like super soldiers from stargate did not interest me. the giant space insect cloud thing was a decent idea but it was ruined by the music stuff. i did not give a flyin pop tart that the enterprise crashed, but i never cared for that current design anyway so i am not qualified to talk about it lol. whatsherface with the black lines on her face had the interesting language quirks, which i thought was cool, we dont get enough of that tbh. the references to tos reminded me overmuch of the stuff they did with enterprise season 4, which in my view was just “here’s 500% more tos references” (and i will really really never understand why so so SO many people say that stuff is some of the best star trek ever filmed but that is a discussion for another day).

didnt find the comedy funny, altho i admit that i am extremely extremely picky about what i find funny so 99% of things wont make me crack a smile (for example when i saw tfa in theaters i was straight faced at literally everything the rest of the audience laughed at). but i mean that thing where spock is explaining something and nobody understands it and then uhura or whoever chimes in “we can do the thing and kick ass” like oh my goodness that sounds like something from a cbs crime show what on EARTH. the stuff at the beginning with the angry aliens was particularly frustrating because of how much potential it had, like jeez when kirk was like “ah yes this weapon fragment is...uh...a treasured symbol of. .. . peace” that was great!!!!!! and then it just devolves into the aliens screaming and kirk making faces!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think the issue here is that these reboot movies have no leg to stand on except the characters, and they dont really have any leg to stand on themselves. and i mean, if you like the characters and enjoy them then i am happy for you. ive done it myself man, i took freakin vlad the space knight who got two lines and died from aldnoah zero and turned him into a favorite character of mine, same with cutler beckett from pirates of the caribbean, so i know that ppl can single out characters who might not be really well developed and enjoy them anyway. theres nothing wrong with that and i aint sayin there is. its just that i cant do that with these characters, not at all. they didnt get three seasons of a show with gene coon writing their interactions, they didnt get movies like wrath of khan that emphasized their bonds. they got named after and vaguely based on the tos characters, thrown into two movies that i personally think are both kind of lousy (i know ‘09 is considered one of the Good Star Trek Films but i am not quite in that camp myself), and then now we have this movie where kirk and spock and mccoy are like kinda getting development now and mccoy says “MY GOD MAN” and “MY GOD SPOCK” and they were out there for three years but we didnt see any of it and stuff. like the guys who wrote this were trying, and i will give them that, but it doesnt work for me because it just...should really never have been done in the first place.

well i guess THAT last opinion is very arguable, im sure even paramount would disagree strongly with me since theyve made some decent cash off these films lol. but its just...after seeing beyond, i think it was too late to try to recreate the bond of tos in these films. not after into darkness in particular. and i mean they are trying SO HARD with the original cast photo and the thing with everyone reading space the final frontier at the end but it just doesnt work for me.

i think its worth adding that im also of the opinion (which i guess is another divisive one) that the best of tos and the best of the tos movies had a certain tone to the dialogue and interactions which is not reflected here (a certain tone that im very very biased about because it involves lots of witty ass dialogue and i absolutely love it). that may be due to how the characters and world differ from tos, but if thats the case, it sort of renders two things moot: a) the attempt to match the tos tone and b) the usage of the tos characters in the first place (tho thats a problem i oughta take up with jj abrams i suppose). it could also stem from the writers’ personal styles, in which case it would just be a matter of my personal opinion preferring other styles to theirs. but either way thats one of the things that is most strongly dissimilar to tos about this movie, whether or not there were any attempts made to match it. the only line i caught that made me get the tos vibe was the thing i mentioned earlier with kirk talking to the angry aliens, and like i said that vibe was lost very quickly.

its a personal thing of course, but after into darkness i just gave up on any sense of obligation i felt for these movies being Part Of Star Trek. and i mean, even WITH that, with the lack of caring and lack of expectation and lack of just plain LIKING that i felt, i found myself underwhelmed. that honestly surprised me because i was expecting to either begrudgingly like it or totally hate it and i was just left saying “oh...thats it? okay”. it wasnt a violent reaction of dislike...more like when i watched tangled for the first time and sat there like “jeez this is what everyone says is one of the best disney movies??? it wasnt BAD but jeez”. so i guess ultimately im kind of praising the movie because it sure didnt hit me like into darkness did!
