#/end complaint

[heroesriseandfall]

Fanon mischaracterization of the Drakes is how I end up making a post defending Tim’s parents from baseless fanon bashing only to immediately after make a post complaining about their canon parenting.

#they’re pretty terrible parents most of the time but not like THAT #jack drake did not literally call on the U.S. government to save tim from a war zone only for 1000 fanfics to claim he didn’t care abt tim #neglectful and abusive parents can in fact also love their children! they are not devoid of emotion! they just don’t know how to parent #ALSO. they CLEARLY cared about Tim more than about status! they were just way too caught up in their work to pay enough attention to him! #/end complaint #not really done complaining I’m just gonna stop myself before I keep going #tim drake #jack drake #janet drake #drake parenting #heroesriseandfall #canon vs fanon

Not having a laptop is killing me I swear

regardless of how you feel about homestuck you do have to admit that the story concluding with almost all of the major characters literally deciding to just say fuck it and abandon the story entirely is like. an absolutely iconic narrative decision. you know what i'm not doing this shit anymore. figure it out. bye.

#🐉 #my only real complaint about the epilogues is that the story shouldve ended there permanently to give it any weight but #franchise gonna franchise ig #homestuck

my only complaint about dimension 20's trans rep, truly the only one because they are doing so so well, is their approach to characters (npcs) that use she/they or he/they pronouns. it feels very performative, without this set of pronouns being used. both for cassandra in FHJY and for bennett in burrow's end i haven't caught a single use of they/them pronouns. purely the first set. and at this point they might as well not include the 'they'.

it just feels so disheartening to see characters with multiple pronouns but only the "easier" one being used.

#he/they pronouns were used suepr well with andhera thats why i said npcs not all characters #its not that big of a deal but also it is #fhjy #burrow’s end #fantasy high junior year #dimension 20 #d20 #and this is not a complaint or criticiam of the DMs of these campaigns #this is an overall trend thats Everywhere at this point #bennett burrow's end #fhjy cassandra

Also while I’m talking about PJO, I really hope that the beach fight scene is badass in the show. Like Percy has not used his powers at ALL so far and I hope the beach fight scene we get hints of how terrifying he can be when he’s actually using them like in the later books

#percy jackson #pjo tv show #I also hope that the fight scene isn’t. yknow. more than 2 seconds long #that’s my biggest complaint about the show so far tbhhh the fights go way too quick and they feel a little underwhelming #which like. considering how the main series ENDS? is concerning #if we get one really good fight scene I hope it’s the beach one pls

A moment for a petty complaint:

When people are explaining how to weave in ends, in a tutorial or any video, and they say to "just follow the path of the yarn" or "double the stitches" and then proceed to do THIS

That's a valid way to weave in your ends, assuming your yarn is wooly enough to not slip and it won't be super visible, but that's simply not what you've described.

THIS is following the path of the yarn. It is also the superior way to weave in ends securely and least-visibly from both sides.

#thx to techknitting for the diagram #they have nothing to do with this complaint I just knew I'd find the illustration i needed there #knitting #weaving in ends #petty complaint #fiber arts #needlework #many methods are good depending on context but DO the thing you DESCRIBE and not some OTHER thing #skimming in ends by splitting plies is also very secure but is more visible from the back #nothing but felting the ends together when you join is completely invisible in the middle of stockinette

people being actually confused, or somehow disappointed?? by the random npcs in the first episode? couldn't be me. absolute highlight of the entire thing. these are my people.

justice for balthazar, the bad kids deserved to taste that chilli one last time

#plus battle episodes are usually pretty hard for me. so the breaks in the monotony were needed. #(which isn't a complaint! dnd is the medium and I realize that's more of a taste thing than any sort of problem lol) #anyway I'm just shocked that I've seen multiple folks who had trouble catching on #felt like it was projected pretty clear we were coming in at the end of the Night Yorb journey. and that these guys were from that. #dimension 20 #fantasy high junior year #d20 fhjy #fantasy high

Now that I'm a good ¾ of the way through one piece I'm gonna complain about something that's kinda been bugging me; I don't like how little time the crew has actually been together - and I'm not saying this in the they get split up each island type way I mean in more the Brook was on that ship for a week before the 2 year gap and its not like the rest of the crew is much better from what I can gather from the time Luffy first met zoro til they arrived on sabaody about 6 months had passed if we're being generous I don't know something about the fact that usopp spent more time with that bug man then his crew annoys me so much

#one piece #dont get me wrong im still enjoying the series #this is just one of those personal annoyances #i think it annoys me aswell bc it makes the one piece world somehow feel smaller in my brain #as i know it used to take ships travelling from Ireland to America 3 months #so knowing it took the staw hats around the same amount of time #to literally travel half way round their world #tiny tiny world they got their #also obviously irl theyve been travelling together for over 25 years #but in universe #im pretty sure those people on that 9 month cruise will have spent more time together by the end of their voyage #then the straw hats currently have #anyway small personal complaint

can't believe an anime called buddy daddies did not end up being, in fact, just a silly little comedy of two hitmen raising a child together but instead an actual heartwarming, well written show about (re)learning to love and to be loved, about how the meaning of family goes way beyond blood and no matter how unconventional it may be, it's still as perfect and valid because it's yours and you wouldn't trade it for anything else

#it was a silly little comedy #but it was also More than that #and if i CRY #at first i was like haha buddy daddies as a joke but bro i dont think it's a joke anymore #i feel so normal about this anime (no i dont) (it altered my brain chemistry in ways i cannot explain) #yes i do have complaints about certain ~ things ~ of the ending like almost everyone else BUT #that doesn't take away the fact it was a surprisingly well written anime given the topic they chose to work with #like i had no faith At All the first time i read the synopsis lmao but here we are #buddy daddies #miri unasaka #rei suwa #kurusu kazuki #misaki unasaka #kugi kyutaro #edit: if u saw me write heart wrenching instead of heartwarming no u didn't #gonna use my english is not my first language card

so normal about the gender fuckery of the Polish murderbot translation (lie i am on the verge of tears)

#it uses verb inflections that imply it/otherwise non-binary pronouns in first person #and it looks like in third person the translator went with #she pronouns when using security unit (bc the word unit is gendered female in polish) #and he pronouns when using Murderbot (bc the word robot is gendered male) #which... isn't ideal #but in a language this excessively gendered it was always going to be messy #and it's the first person verb endings that matter most bc you're reminded that mb's opinion on gender is No Thanks EVERY SENTENCE. !!!!!!! #the fact that the translator went with that instead of the easy route of he pronouns #(which are unfortunately kind of implied in the name Murderbot/Mordbot in polish since like i said robot/bot is gendered male) #is so so so important to me #(and ofc half the reviews for this translation include complaints about 'woke' verb endings 🙄 whatever) #.txt #books #murderbot

on the point of including black people in the show (or any period show), a lot of the outrage can sometimes come across as performative to me. it's one thing to feel upset about how little screentime black characters get compared to white characters (a valid criticism, believe me, I Know! give me an hour and i could talk your ear off about how this constantly annoys me as a black person who's damned to enjoy period pieces), but it's another to Only get upset while not actually creating content for said black characters, Especially when fandom (not just hbo war, but in general) is famous for taking Extremely minor characters and creating entire worlds with them, to the point where you wouldn't know they're minor characters at all until you check out the source yourself. richard macon, alexander jefferson, and robert daniels each have only 20 or less posts about them (at the time of publishing this post). in my own fandom experience (within fandoms both big and small and old and new, whatever), i've seen more content (posts, art pieces, analyses, fics, etc) made for minor white characters in less than a mere week's time (it's not a competiton lol i'm just giving a perspective here). so idk. obviously, there's nothing anyone here can do about a show that's already been filmed and released. we got what we got. thas it. at least in the great wide world of fandom, you can actually do something about it, turning the big into small. there's precedent for that. otherwise it just feels like complaining for the sake of complaining

#alexander jefferson only Just reached 20 posts according to tumblr's tagged search. macon's at 17. daniels is at 9 #i'm jaded in a way bc when you're black you learn to expect this when it comes to black characters. like as a rule. #but it's for that reason that a lot of these complaints feel kinda sorta performative #at the end of the day it's a show largely about white guys created largely by white guys #if you want to see blacker shows and movies- many Do exist. hbo war isnt the end all/be all of ww2 media #six triple eight will be coming soon. there's the 90s tuskegee airmen movie. watch overlord if you want a fun (and very fictional) time #and there's dee rees' own 'mudbound'. these aren't 'hbo war' but they're worth watching #i actually feel it's more worth being upset about the lack of representation of nonblack people of color during ww2 #i still want a show about the 442nd! i'd like to see more about native american soldiers! #we just barely saw some sikhs in this episode. they're often sprinkled into the background but they ought to be front and center too #and with that!!! i'm going to bed gnight #masters of the air #hbo war #alexander jefferson #robert daniels #richard macon

[Image description: screenshot from The Owl House of King saying: "No one wants to think they've wasted their life following the wrong person." End description.]

The thing about rewatching Hollow Mind, after the finale, is realizing this sentiment isn't just about Belos's followers, or about Luz initially looking up to Philip. In fact, it's just as much about Belos himself.

No one wants to admit you spent years chasing a brother who didn't want to go home. Who wasn't the witch hunter he once claimed to be. Who, in every reincarnation, still won't become the person you wanted him to be.

No one wants to admit that — for the centuries you saw yourself as following your God, doing what He required of you to save humanity's souls, and wipe out the Devil's witchcraft — that you were the only one doing evil. That your devout faith and countless sacrifices were misplaced, and that your former home has moved on from witch hunts anyway.

No one would want to admit any of that, and in combination with Belos's personal obsession with being a hero, it becomes clear he was never going to admit it. Not even on his deathbed. Because that would be nearly four hundred wasted years on his conscience, four hundred years of following the wrong people, and how could he possibly let himself believe that?

#the owl house #toh spoilers #emperor belos #philip wittebane #toh meta #caleb wittebane #this is one of several reasons why complaints about the finale like #“but belos should've realized he was wrong and died regretting his actions!” #don't really hold water to me #he is a foil to caleb and hunter and lilith and luz and literally everyone who undergoes positive character development #he is so deep in the sunk cost fallacy that he would rather die a martyr than face the reality of what he's done #and that's also why his end was so... what some people call anticlimactic but what i prefer to just call pathetic #they're not giving him a dramatic martyrdom sequence. they're just letting the rain do most of the work and smearing him out a little

Man.... I can't stop thinking about Pac and the Risus Pill arc

Pac saying he took the pills because he didn't have any other choice, he was so hopeless he wants to take them until he doesn't remember anything

Pac saying "At least I’m not crying in some random corner in the Island expecting my friends to come save me, and nobody comes save me"

And then the thing he said immediately before that: "I lost my friend, I lost my friend’s friend, I lost my Egg, I lost my child, I lost everything, I'm– I was completely hopeless– so yeah, maybe I wanna be drugged and live my miserable but happy life. At least I’m not in that saddest place anymore."

The blood at Chume Labs

The three graves at Chume Labs

The message he wrote to Cellbit asking Cellbit to kill him if things got too bad, then changing it and saying "lock me up" instead.

The conversation with Fit, Fit pleading with him, and Pac saying "I don’t want to go back to that bad and sad place."

Pac, despite his grief and depression, finding an antidote and saving himself (with the help of his friends)

Literally everything from the Risus Pill arc makes me so heartbroken

#i talk #qsmp talk #the crazy thing is is I still haven't seen the stream where they give Pac the antidote #I was busy that day and rushed home trying to catch the tail-end of the stream #and made the mistake of leaving Twitch open on my phone on the counter as I hopped in the shower #and then mid-shampoo I just heard a SCREAM from my phone and I was like ''UH OH'' #didn't get a noise complaint but it scared the hell out of me #I never did find that clip of him and Cellbit talking after everything went down and he was cured #but I remember the quotes from it #aghhhh #suicide mention #sorta implied #ask to tag #I'm briefly touching upon the Risus arc in my fic but I really want to dig more into the arc #I know it'll just make me sad though #tw drugs #drug mention #addiction
