*stomps out onto grass and wags cane in air* you kids and your live action remakes of disney movies!!! ooohhh!!!!
#ik i sound like a boomer or a gatekeeper or whatever i just. hate the entire concept of these so fucking much#and i hate being scared to bitch about it and how creatively bankrupt they are bc some of my friends like them a lot#just like im scared to complain about how annoying the MCU and DCU are#but god. god i have not seen a single disney live action remake i enjoyed watching#also the MCU and DCU and star wars are all annoying as fuck and the longer they go on the more and more they are sapped of any personality#and the more by the numbers they can become#im not a film critic im not a genius and im sure as fuck not majorly informed on film theory or making but these movies are all so fucking#boring to me. i wish the people behind them instead 1) didnt do live action remakes of beautifully animated 2d movies and 2) had an end#goal in sight that didnt waver indefinitely to include as many IPs as possible between the start and end of the series AND didn't already#have a plan in place to do a reboot or continuation as soon as that last movie in the story arc is over#every time i watch an MCU or DCU movie it feels so by the numbers and/or attempting to pull in the same success as previous releases#this obviously isnt mentioning how shitty the studios are for treating their workers how they do or how bullshit the people running the#MCU are for insisting on filming in the greenest screen to ever have screened so even the actors dont know what scene theyre acting out#or to mention the racial problems or sexism or anything like that#just how annoying these things are to me. i just want to watch movies dude. i dont want to watch movies with the biggest budgets and the#worst greenscreen ive seen since 2006 because the artists are overworked and not paid nearly enough#this obviously plays into other films as well but the disney live action remakes and MCU and DCU and star wars annoy me the most#im not watching live action pinocchio. im so tired of it#spooky speaks

GENRE: COMEDY
a series of drivers in different sitcoms. thats it. thats the only description i can give.
Tumblr media
originally, this was a series inspired by this tiktok i saw then @disneyprincemuke (no one's surprised anymore) corrupted me into actually making it BUT! i wanted to have my own twist to it so here it is;
special mentions to @foreveralbon @localwhoore for... being there
also i gotta be honest the deeper u scroll the more sloppy i got with the ideas cause i fr ran out of sitcoms (that ive watched and/or may not just be in my list for future watch since i ran out) and ideas so im sorry folks 🫠 also no promises on this series well
some of these MIGHT change because i am stupid. and, yeah.

Tried to follow only to discover I already am. Good job, past me. Thoughts on the changes made to Rose’s character with each reboot?
YES i have so many thoughts
first of all. the new 52 was the worst thing to ever happen to rose and im not exaggerating even a little. she started out as a superboy side character (???) as an assassin that was hired to kill him if he didnt do what they wanted ? then she became a ravager and hunted people down
Tumblr media Tumblr media
but the WORST part of the new52 is that they either didnt know or didnt care about lillian worth and they just. made rose one of slade and adeline's kids. and had him raise her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
also she was the oldest child of her and joey, which is nowhere near the same level of awful as the whitewashing but still makes me uncomfortable
Tumblr media
yeah so. new 52 was fucking terrible. that is not rose even a little i do not know this woman
but REBIRTH fixed so much <3 christopher priest my bff <3 i am once again recommending deathstroke 2016 bc it has so many good moments and i think its worth reading
the first time rose showed up lillian worth was mentioned!!!!! she was there!!!!! <33333 the timeline was changed a little but i can forgive that bc!!! LILI!!!!!
Tumblr media
the problem is that the book made her hmong instead of cambodian and i dont really know why??? but also ive said it before but,,, as much as it makes me upset bc asian identities shouldnt just be interchangeable,,,, this was the first time it was even mentioned that she was half asian since the 90s!!!! and she had a whole arc about her hmong heritage and her family!!!!!!
Tumblr media
AND she didnt kill anyone in that book iirc :') the closest she got to killing someone was when she was in the middle of a breakdown then shado killing him for her instead which!!!! i love so so much bc rose does not kill a lot despite what some writers want you to believe. pre52 she has like maybe 3 murders that i would consider in character so the fact that she doesnt kill anyone in ds2016 is so fucking real
Tumblr media
anyways ill also count infinite frontier as a reboot bc i love to talk about my opinions
there werent a lot of clear changes in infinite frontier BUT. technically her cutting her eye out is canon rn. in deathstroke inc theres a flashback of her stabbing her eye, and also in dark knights death metal (?) shes drawn with an eyepatch
Tumblr media Tumblr media
then she was in robin 2021 which was . eh. it wasnt BAD for her but it was just kinda her continuing to kill ppl ig :( but she was drawn so nice in that book so ill forgive it
Tumblr media
side note i still hate the idea of respawn so that bothered me in this book. also what they did to connor hawke is unforgivable so its a net loss but whatever
anyways i think thats all my thoughts. in conclusion: new52 bad. rebirth mostly good. infinite frontier eh. and my own personal interpretation is perfect always.

the worst part about the information-social media ecosystem rn is that we’ll have, like, people will support Thing. then you’ll have an anti-Thing market emerge. and then you have the anti-anti-Thing market. backlash to backlash, dust to dust.
the current thing with this is “wokeness”, a word I hate more than I hate ranch dressing. the problem with the anti-anti-woke guys is that they generally don’t acknowledge that socialists have been critiquing identity politics for decades before the first conservative ever uttered the word “woke”. and ignoring the criticisms of this from the left strikes me as not engaging with the skeptics’ strongest argument by pretending they don’t exist. I get that the socialists arguing this are generally smarter than Gary from Facebook, which makes them harder targets. either way. I just don’t like this very much. it’s shallow.
that preamble out of the way, I was watching YouTube video from someone on team anti-anti. I’m not sure why I keep doing this because I always get disappointed for the same reasons, but some may call it masochism and I dont appreciate being non-sexually kink shamed.
the person in the video brought up nerdy youtube film critics who were angry about the Star Wars sequel trilogy as a pet example, but I feel like this is a really weak point. the sequel trilogy is done now, and knowing how poorly it played out, we may have to admit that the bitter nerds who said that it starred a woman and two men of color as just a cyclical marketing decision might have seen something we did not. they did basically nothing with oscar isaac and john boyega which is so. imagine signing them to your movie and doing nothing with these amazing actors! felony! go to jail! at least boyega has the good sense to be openly critical of this. and as for rey, she doesn’t exactly have an arc.
I rewatched the force awakens for the first time in a long time in a while a few months ago and, now that we’re out of the cultural moment it was released in, it feels very different. very 2015 pilled in the sense that it aged like milk that's been sitting in the fridge for 8 years and has begun to cultivate bacteria that no microbiologist has ever observed. and i don't think the bitter nerds were wrong to interpret kylo ren as a strawmen of, well, people like them who don't want people messing with a franchise they have a lot of emotional investment in. and while you can write this off as them saying "we don't want women to enjoy star wars", observing that these movies are ultimately products, disney aspires to have a larger net worth than god, and not trusting where they're going with this... it's not entirely unfair, even though there are very real problems of racism and misogyny in nerd circles.
sometimes when we defend stuff from the angle that representation is good, we inadvertently forget that the "you can be a jedi too, little girl or black child of unspecified gender" thing is mostly done with the intention of consumer outreach because we're biased in favor of rep. the bitter nerds are not, and it gives them shinigami eyes. pandering is a bit more obvious when you're not the one being catered to. or something. i also don't think this is exclusively right wing, it's just that a lot of lefties are more reluctant to say something. if you phrase yourself incorrectly, it looks REALLY sketchy, even if you frame it through the "ultimately, these are products" lens, and sometimes it's best to just not comment.
i saw critical drinker, who's one of the more annoying of these youtube film critic types, on a podcast semi recently, and when he drops the anti-woke kayfabe, you just see a frustrated guy who writes screenplays as a hobby and doesn't like how many female-led stories skimp on developing conflict, or the disappearance of the mentor/student dynamic in storytelling and why this is doesn't bode well for franchise reboots that are meant to pass the torch, how unearned that feels. and even though i think his videos are cringey as shit, they're coming from a real place of caring about stories and being frustrated that the biggest purveyors of them don't seem to care back. i'm sympathetic to this, even if i think "wokeness" is an intellectually lazy copout and the preferred method of delivery makes me want to get my eardrum pierced.
iunno. i think, maybe, if you want to talk about these guys, it would make for a better story if you talked to them. or at the very least, try to understand what the substantive meat of their problem is as a fly on the wall. even if you ultimately decide that they're being irrational, "irrational" is not synonymous with "random". that's an important thing not to lose sight of. and while i do believe a lot of the anti-woke stuff is irrational, i do think it's worth trying to make a real effort to figure out what's going on underneath it all. but thinking too much gives you wrinkles, or whatever malibu stacey said. oh well!

One of the dumbest things I think you've ever said was that cartoon fans hate children because they don't like how certain child characters are written or because they think a reboot of a kids show is badly written. Like, you do understand there's a difference, right? Yeah, I totally want children dead or something because I children's entertainment can be better than those soulless, ugly nursery rhyme compilation videos that children are addicted to. Logic.
Cartoon fans always have a warped idea how children actually are. Because they forget WE WERE kids. Whenever they see a little kid character who is slightly overbearing and overenergetic, yknow what a little kid IS, the fandom calls the character "annoying", "brat" etc. And god forbid if a teenage character was their point of contention
I remember watching Transformers Prime and I thought Miko was my fave out of the human teens the Autobots looked after. Yet Ive seen so many fans complaining she was a rude, impulsive, bratty bitch and found her excitable attitude around the Autobots "annoying" because how DARE a 14 year old acts stupid and is excited to hang out with giant robots.
And this stems to how cartoon fans view children who are fans as well. I was in the brony fandom and I noticed whenever the show introduced more characters or spin offs for the sake of toys, a lot of bronies groaned how its so "girly" and "not what the show is" aka anything remotely marketable and feminine whatsoever. And they got mad when kids loved it cos it reminded them they're watching a girl's show. They outright pilloried G3 fans for liking such a baby's show when Friendship is Magic is literally no different than g3 outside of more consistent characters and its funnier. Heck, even when G5 came along and there was a poll of who their fave main character was and Pipp, the most feminine of the group who was a social media savant, had the least votes. Whereas Izzy, the g5 Pinkie Pie, was at no. 1. (which goes to show how cartoon fanbases are extremely biased to wacky comic relief characters with quasi-neurodivergent traits) Also I was exposed to a lot of fucked up shit, the porn of this fandom was unfiltered and incredibly easy to access on youtube and google. (this was before youtube kids was a thing) This is the same fandom that brought us Cupcakes and Fallout Equestria and Rarity's New Designs. All from a show thats about horse puppies being friends. And as for the little kids who were surrounded by this content, no wonder they grew up traumatised. Cos bronies didnt give a single pissing shit about the children. Look up brony horror stories. You'll see why.
Cartoon fandoms have this preconceived notion to muscle children out of the picture as possible so they can feel more secure watching kids shows without their parents judging them. They hate being reminded that the stuff they watch IS FOR KIDS IN THE FIRST PLACE. But the problem is 75% of media out there is made for children in mind. Star Wars, Disney, Pixar movies, Dreamworks movies, Batman, Spiderman, Marvel, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Transformers etc.
As for the bad reboot angle, I always firmly believed the phrase "This X REBOOT RUINED MY CHILDHOOD" is always a defensive way of saying: "THIS CHILDRENS PROPERTY IS NOT IMMEDIATELY CATERING TO ME >:(" Like they treat a reboot like its an act of betrayal when its just a piece of media changing and evolving with the generations to appeal to the newer ones. If you want the same show you watched as a kid, just watch the original thing on youtube or collect dvds and merch of it. But if you want to watch this reboot, you've got to realise change is what reboots do and if you get mad at the small/big changes a reboot makes...
You're literally Patchy in this scene
youtube
As long as a show doesnt push racist/sexist/bigoted or any problematic themes in their faces, its fine. If the kids love it, the reboots done its job.
And as for the quality of children's entertainment, I dont really give a shit what soulless nursery rhyme collection or sanitised fluff kids watch. We all had our mindless fluff we watched as kids and we didnt get scarred for life because of it.
Just...leave the kids alone. Just act like adults and manage your shit carefully. Let the kids enjoy what they enjoy and for the love of god DONT GET SO FUCKING DEFENSIVE OVER LIKING A CARTOON AIMED AT BABIES. ITS ONLY WEIRD WHEN YOU MAKE IT WEIRD.

i think my first exposure to AI art might've been this video where somebody was testing out this new, weird thing where they automatically generate a song using AI, and i couldnt help but feel that it was an indictment of the modern music scene that a goddamn computer could effortlessly and accurately replicate the generic swill that passes for popular music nowadays. didnt have a vocalist synthesized yet but those have been becoming a thing too, or so i hear.
i saw a little article about how the newer generations of gamers are turning more and more to retro games. as somebody technically belonging to the "newer generations" this felt self evident, as frankly most of the gaming i do nowadays is almost invariably in an emulator. i think that to a certain extent, most of the best mainstream games that are going to be made already have been, at least for the forseeable future of major developers with games made scientifically perfect for milking you for the most money possible rather than as an art form. im sure it's all gonna collapse in on itself eventually, from what i hear some of the older folks who lived through more than i have we've been here before. hell, pretty much anybody who cares even a bit about gaming history knows first and foremost about the gaming crash of the early 80s, mostly spurred on by the temporal equivalent of modern cheap asset flip garbage that floods most stores these days. it's hard not to feel like we're about to see a massive crash yet again, with the ones inheriting the earth being the little fellas, and of course nintendo. which, makes sense, their earliest history is of weathering shit just like this, of course they'd know when to spot enshittification and stay clear of it. i'm in no way saying that nintendo is exempt of being a shitty corporation, but i will say that from a business standpoint they're one of the only ones i know of that actually seem to understand the idea of sustainability on a broad scale. hell of a lot better than the likes of activision, thats for damn sure. but back to what i was actually trying to get at before i adhd tangent'd, i think it makes a lot of sense that when the majority of the shit being put on the market is corporatist, design by comittee, prefab trash with aggressive monetization and a consistent attitude of fixing any problems in patches, it makes a hell of a lot of sense that we'd go back to our roots. NES mario is the same as its ever been, has been for over 30 years, and will be in another 30. you dont gotta worry about them patching it to make it actually function as advertised, or patching it from being something you enjoyed into something you hate, or having fomo marketing based microtransaction bullshit. the most that's gonna change is that every now and again, nintendo will make the only version they give not have flashing lights for epileptic folks, or patch out mike tyson because he sucks and replace him with a white guy, and the white guy's less hard but thats ok because it's still pretty hard, and either way it's a good game, fun, and you can still find the original on rom sites and also probably ebay if you dont have a vpn but do have a disposable income, so dont worry about it. getting sidetracked again, ANYWAYS-
what i wanted to get at is that i wonder if we're gonna see a similar resurgence in other old kinds of media just like, in general, for the mainstream. like why watch the 22nd reboot of ghost busters when the originals are right there. king crimson's still good, why dont you listen to them instead of bemoaning how your new favs are problematic, even though i dont think fripp can reclaim the fag slur (im gay, i can it's fine). i've recently been watching fist of the north star and original dragon ball, ilike the m. there are books. lots of those, actually,. you can read em! if you have the attention span. i honestly think we might be seeing more and more of this, now that im looking out for it. like i see just like, random people mention how much they like prog rock or 1930s dracula. relatively normals talk about how they like lemon demon these days. those stupid aestheticized classic anime accounts on twitter get sososo many likes. can you tell im sleep deprived writing this? i can, and im writing thjis. im writing this SO HARD. send poast.

rating every clone high ship i can think of because why not
joanfk - 5/10, didnt care in 2021, didnt care during season 2, never really cared at all, rip ort smort and the other joanfk fans tho
joanabe - 0/10, i dont really hate it or have any real opinion on it, but something deep inside of me just goes “no”
cleo x abe - 6/10, i actually kinda liked this one, if cleo and abe werent mutually shallow as hell it could be kinda cool, with cleo being like “i can fix him” and becoming a better person as a result, but we all know how it went in canon
jfgogh - 10/10, awesome, legendary, nostalgic, hilarious, iconic, please see my jfgogh ask for more information
gogh x caesar - 7/10 its kinda silly and i like it
gogh x jesus - 7/10 equally as silly as caesgogh
gogh x caesar x jesus - 8/10 ive seen zero content of them but background polycule from hell sounds hilarious
tophabe - 5/10 i have so many opinions on it so ill say this, the ship and the fandom surrounding it has so many problems but GOD the fanfictions man… theyre too good
joan x harriet - 7/10 i keep forgetting it exists and i havent thought too hard about it but it sounds neat
jfkonfucius - 10/10 please make them interact more in the show i need more content of them before i start making it myself in my head
jfabe - 7/10 it exists and its kinda silly
jfk x ponce - 9/10 i almost forgot about this one but how is there not more content on them, yall are sleeping on this ship including me
tophfk - 5/10 it has fanfiction potential but i dont care about it right now since i havent read a tophfk fic
confucius x topher - 6/10 it gets an extra point because i used to sorta toy with the idea before episode 8 sold me out on topher
confucius x abe - 7/10 do people even ship this??? i remember everyone thought confucius would be abe’s sidekick when the first episode of the reboot was leaked lol they could still be interesting though
confucius x abe x jfk x topher - 9/10 polycule from hell sounds so fucking funny, loses a point because topher is here but thats more just me being salty they sorta brushed the blackmail thing under the rug in the finale
tubfucius - 4/10 i keep forgetting it exists, its kinda cute but it loses a point because the show tried to make the ship name harrucius and i fucking hate that
kahlopatra - 10/10 i was gonna take away a point because it kiiiinda felt like it came out of nowhere because of the lack of buildup in the show, but i cant because theyre too iconic and legendary, the gays finally got a W
frida x harriet - 5/10 i just mentioned this because i saw it one sided in a kahlopatra fic once that made harriet act so uncharacteristically mean that it made me actually like her more (fun fact: that fic also kinda ruined kahlopatra for me a bit but i still love it anyway because the scenes in episode 8 were too funny), outside of that fic it sounds neat i guess
if i missed any ships please tell me so i can judge you, also mod rose please dont try to tag all of these ships unless you want brain damage (i know you wont but still)
not reading or tagging allat 😭🙏

Respectfully , I’m all for free palestine. Though I think recasting Raven would be a huuuuuge mistake. Like I can’t see anyone other than Tara in that role, she is Raven.
Firing, canceling people for their views is a liiiiittle ridiculous in my own opinion. Like with Melissa Barrera from the rebooted Scream movies, and I’m sure countless others — what happened to free speech ?
to each it's own, but i dont think tara is deserving of the role of raven. raven wouldn't do what tara did, tara is a grown woman, google is free to be educated on, and should be accountable for her actions. if that means she has to sit out on a key role to her career, so be it. she should have thought of that when she was quick to tweet and slur palestinians. she is allowed to feel with her people (jewish roots) that is natural. but she shouldn't use that to condone the harm of others. point blank. don't get me wrong i've looked up to tara for years, she's been my analogy to raven for years, raven is still my favorite character ever. and tara is an amazing voice actor, but she's exposing herself to be not such an amazing person. there may be repercussions on tara being recasted but there's bigger problems at hand. it's not a matter of she can't have her views or standpoints but when it turns into hate speech that's the problem. she has SERIES of hate speech since this conflict between israel and palestine reginited in october. she has no impulse control and she's literally a 50 year old woman.

cant believe i have to say this but dont harass anybody thats basic fucking common sense
call me doom, use any/all pronouns on me. im a minor so dont be weird towards me. this is my sideblog for "unfiltered" sparklecare discussion, in the sense that i dont just blindly praise everything i see. this will include shit like the preboot, as well as constructive criticism of both the preboot, reboot, whatever aus* exist, and the fandom. positivity is welcome and encouraged just as much as what im known for.

dont get me wrong, i do like the main comic, i actually credit it for saving my life during a dark place that i am still in. and thats exactly why i made this blog, i cannot let the wasted potential or the horrendous fandom go unnoticed. i critique all of my interests, especially indie projects such as sparklecare since mainstream censors dont apply to them. this is by no means a hate account, and i do not want to be disrespectful towards kneebys trauma.
i know that the mere idea of someone criticizing sparklecare may fire off the bigot detecting alarms in your brains, so i feel the need to clarify everything you see here is written by a black, gender questioning boyliker that suffers from autism and cluster b disorders. the polar opposite of most fans, watch me get invalidated.
i will not tag negativity for anything, its a criticism blog, what did you expect. however i will tag mentions of heavy subject matter, but not as haphazardly as the comic does. positivity is also

Rewatching Ninjago
(With no context other than the episode)
Hands of Time 5-6
Zane: Pixal, give me a danger analysis. Pixal..? Can you hear me?
Im gonna be devastated if Pixals gone or trapped somewhere
Cole (kicking snake samurais off the roller coasters tracks): You dont have a ticket- aaand YOU dont have a ticket! And YOU dont have a ticket!!!
Nooooo
Kai saw his fathers blacksmith symbol… :(
Kai I promise your parents arent helping the time brothers😭
LLOYDS ACTUALLY SO GOOD WITH KIDS?!?!?!
Like that one time with the purple ninja kid at the hospital and that one kid who was fascinated by his dragon
And right NOW, asking this kid his name to ground the kid in a stressful situation, then popping the kids bubble gum with two straws to make nun chucks and then giving the makeshift nunchucks to the kid 🥺
Lloyd: Ninja! Sound off! Is everyone okay?
Cole: if you mean okay as in ‘there sure are a lot of them’, then yeah! Im okay.
Hfbdjfbfjdbf
Lloyd: Hang on… has anyone seen Jay?
Kai: No… now that you mention it, he wasn’t with us when we arrived.
Cole: You know, for once, itd be great to go into battle with a full team.
Kai: Well dont tell us!?!? 😒 Tell jay! Its his fault he didnt tell us he was going WHEREVER
NFNSNFNDNR
How do the ninja forget their own members so easily.
Day of the departed with Cole, now this 💀
Nya: Im sure Jay had a good reason for running off…
Aww thats actually so sweet.
Ed (bulldozing samurai snakes): I HAVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE TO YOU!!!
Edna (sweeping the snakes with her broom): I don’t think they saw your sign out front dear! ☺️
Im not joking in the slightest when I say I would die for Jays parents.
Im being absolutely serious they are everything to me
Jay: Mom! Dad! Are you okay?!?!?
Edna: Oh, well. Now I’m very late for my quilting circle!
I literally adore them
Krux: I suspect you CAN make the apparatus, you just don’t WANT to.
Cyrus Borg: … Alright fine! But you cant make me!
My man, why didn’t you keep up with the lie 😭
They would have believed you if you just kept saying you couldn’t build it because you didn’t have the right materials
I forgot Acronix gets a crush on Machia
A TIME BLADE?!?!?
OMFG I FORGOT THATS LIKE A THING THIS SEASON. RETRIEVING THE TIME BLADES EVERY TIME ONE DROPS.
I forgot there were 4 time blades too.
This is just like season 1 and the fang-blades all over again
Snake samurai commander: Vermillion warriors, were leaving, take the builder now.
Jay: HA. Vermillion warriors? Really? THATS what theyre called????
Jay, theyre gonna kidnap your dad, and you’re LAUGHING.
NO. KIDNAPPING ED IS ONE THING BUT YOU KEEP YOUR FILTHY FUCKING HANDS OFF OF EDNA
EDNA NOOOOOO
I think Ednas scream was the most heartbreaking noise ive ever heard in this show.
THEY FORCED HER TO LEAVE WITHOUT HER PURSE. 😤
How dare they.
The fact he still calls his parents mom and dad after everything 🥺
Jay: Gotta form my dragon- Come on Jay, you can do this… You can do this.
He sounds so scared :(
He must feel so guilty since he promised he’d protect them.
Edna: THERES MEATLOAF IN THE FREEZER HONEY!!!!!
I love edna sm 😭
Nyas so smart
Putting a temporal scanner on Zane when he was rebooting :)
Jay: Ughhh I JUST promised you guys I would protect you. And now theyve taken mom!
Jays dad is so supportive 🥹
Ed: Just remember what we say in the scrap metal business, “keep your emotions under control and focus on the problem at hand.”
Jay:…
Jay: Do they actually say that.🤨
Ed: Its a surprisingly harsh business son.
THEY WERE GONNA GIVE JAY A MOTORCYCLE BIKE FOR HIS BIRTHDAY 😭😭😭
I LITERALLY LOVE THIS FAMILY
Now theyre gonna have some father-son bonding time by rebuilding it :)
Does lego ninjago forget Ed and Edna.
Istg if they dont have Jays parents in newer seasons im sueing.
Vermillion Warriors: Its too fucking hot! I hate it.
Edna: SEE! This is why I wanted my purse!!! I keep a bottle of water in there!!!! HYDRATION IS IMPORTAAANT!!!!!
Cole: I dont see the time blade.. but they have JAYS MOM?!?!?
HFJDJDNFJ the way he said ‘mom’ got me 💀
Edna (getting kidnapped): Oh hi Nya! Its so nice to see you!
Gotta be on good terms with ur sons girlfriend
Ed: Now, Jay- theres a speed limit…
Jay: MOMS IN TROUBLE.
Ed: Aaand there are times where its okay to ignore it!
Cole yelling out Jays name in slow mo is so funny
OH OH OH I REMEMBER THIS
Jays my favorite character ofc I remember anytime he does something cool
Everyone: (in slow motion)
Jay: Its like you said, never give up.
Ed: Well- that was until I saw everyone slow down to a snail’s pace
Jay: And thats why we modified the bike.
Jay: (FUCKING ALTERS THE BIKE SO HIS POWERS TRANSMIT INTO IT AND HE CAN RIDE THROUGH THE SLOW MO FORCEFIELD AT A NORMAL SPEED)
Kai and Cole: Way to go Jay!!! Talk about a come back!
Jay (unable to stop): SORRYILEFTYOU BEFORECANTSTOPPLEASEHELPMYDAD GETTHEBLADESEEBACKYOUATTHE TEMPLE
hfnsnfnsjrndjsjnd
Vermillion warrior: waddles to the time blade :D
Lloyd: (fucking air kicks him)
HELL YEAH THEYRE OUT OF THERE WITH THE TIME BLADE
Zane: (stabilizing the port wing on the jet)
Cole: YOU CALL THIS STABILIZING?!?!?
Zane: IM TRYING!!!
Cole: TRY HARDER.
Cole leave him alone 😭
Lloyd: We got the time blade! We finally caught a break!!!
HFNSJFNSJF
THATS SO TRUE
i remember them failing to retrieve every single fang blade
Oh how theyve grown 🥲
Nya (trying to show off her bf): Ha! did you guys see Jay take off on that bike? He was like- greased lightning!
Everyone: …
Nya: What? He had grease on his face… and hes the lightning ninja??? Aw come on, you would have laughed if Jay said it!!!!
Kai: No. no we wouldn’t.
Ed: I uh, I thought it was funny Nya. 🙂
Nya: … thank you Mr Walker.
Jay really is rubbing off on Nya :) hes making her more relaxed and carefree
Love that
Zane: Be careful Jay, the time blade is a powerful weapon.
Jay: I AM being careful 🙄 (does the exact opposite)
JAY HAS A STUFFED ANIMAL?!?!?!?!?
Mr. Cuddlywomp 😭
Thats the cutest fucking name ever
I bet Edna sewed and stitched it for him 🥺
This is actually great timing bc i was JUST writing a fanfic about Jay when he was rlly little and Mr. Cuddlywomp is a perfect addition
Jay: A stuffed toy I USED to love, hes totally lame now though-
Cole: We know you still sleep with him. :)
Jay: AND I DONT CARE WHO KNOWS. Mr. Cuddlywomp… (hugs the donkey/horse stuffie)
MISTER CUDDLYWOMP HAS A WIKI
Tumblr media
Jays an animal jam gamer confirmed
Tumblr media
Huh. Good character consistency I guess.
The water and fire siblings being too consumed in work while Jay, Cole, and Zane goof off is a dynamic I need more of.
Jay: Ugh, I dont get those two, we FINALLY get a victory and they choose to celebrate by nerding out instead of doing something cool?
Jay: OH! Lets run at each other and see if the time blade will slow us down!!!!!!
Look at Lloyd 😭😭😭 hes so proud of his victory
I love those small moments when Lloyd acts like a kid. Look at him! Hes getting all excited and waving his hands around to explain everything!!!
Lloyd, honey, I love you but maybe apologize to your mom about knocking her tea to the floor accidentally 😭💀
Krux: You were not given permission to use the time blade. Because if you KNEW how to use the time blade. YOU WOULD NOT HAVE LOST THE TIME BLADE-
Vermillion warriors: ….
Vermillion warriors: On second thought, maybe we DIDNT lose the time blade….
Acronix: You use the time blade, LOSE the time blade AND LIE ABOUT USING AND LOSING THE TIME BLADE.
Hfndntehdjsjthe
Love when the villains are absolutely hilarious
Jay and Cole are best friends, they do the stupidest shit together and if that isn’t true friendship then idk what is 💀
Cole: Sounds to me like someones earned their black belt in being a wet blanket.
Lloyd: Whats that supposed to mean!
Zane: I believe Coles intent is to describe you as a blanket that has become wet, but not for the purposes of putting out a fire, but rather to extinguish our enjoyment.
Thank you Zane ☺️
HNFJDBFBEJR its so funny that Wu said the EXACT SAME THING lloyd said.
Word for word.
And the ninja still called Lloyd a wet blanket and listened to Wu intently.
The snake samurai are here.
Zane: Ive run a fourth-level analysis, it appears the snake warriors have returned.
Jay: Oh really?!? i could have told you that with a third-level analysis. OR A NO-LEVEL ANALYSIS.
I love how the ninja refuse to call the snake samurai, vermillion warriors.
Jay: oh wow, they went from unarmed snakes to weaponized vermillion warriors really really fast!!!
Kai: Doesnt matter! We can take- Wait. (Holding back a laugh) THATS what they’re called???? Vermillion warriors????
Love Zane explaining WHY the writers chose ‘Vermillion warriors’ as the snakes samurais name.
Makes me think that some writers thought ‘vermillion warriors’ was a perfect name while others thought it was stupid 💀
Kai: Remember Mrs. Grumbiller? The babysitter we used to have?
Nya: The old mean one?
Kai: Yeah, remember what we did when she tried to put us to bed?
Nya: absolutely.
HELL YEAH SIBLING TEAMING LETS GOOO
Nya and Kai: (trip the snake warrior off the floating island)
Jay: Oh man, whatever they paid Mrs. Grumbiller, wasnt nearly enough.
UGHHHH WHY CANT THE BOUNTY GO ONE SEASON WITHOUT BEING DESTROYED!?!?!?!?
Misakos such a girlboss
I love when they use their elemental dragons
NO LLOYD GOT SCARED
HES FALLING
YES KAI SAVE HIM
Shit.
FUCK YEAH NYA COMING IN CLUTCH
Wait that isn't nya????
Who's in the samurai x suit then?????
Lloyd: Well, samurai, whoever you are, thank you.
Nya: THANK YOU!??!? SAMURAI-WHOEVER-YOU-ARE STOLE MY SUIT!!!!!!!
Jay really IS rubbing off on Nya 😭😭😭 I've never seen her this loudly and hilariously angry
Kai (holding a hurt and weak sensei): TELL ME WHAT THE SYMBOL MEANS.
Like dude give Wu a break 💀
Acronix: look at the little boy pretending to be a big hero...
Why do they have to keep reminding me how young Lloyd is. 🥲 it's sad
I actually get excited during Misakos fights she's so cool
...
You cannot be telling me that the time brothers are beating ALL the ninja even when they're NOT using the time blades powers...
Like are you kidding me?????
FINALLY they beat the time brothers
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT
I actually hate Machia now.
This is just the fang blades all over again
AAAAND they take Wu.
This is when Kai gets in his real ‘im gonna kill my dad’ arc isn't it.

will i need ur professional opinion on this what do you think the archie sonic status quo wouldve looked like post mecha sally deroboticization. since the freedom fighters are basically as good as disbanded anyways that would leave sonic with a similar lack of direction like when robotnik died but the world tour gimmick was kind of done with team fighters anyways so doing it again would feel stale. and i know eggman is still there but i cant really see him being the main big bad like he used to before bc the mobotropolis shield thing kind of halts any eggman plots in their tracks. so unless something with the city changes eggman isnt really as much of a looming presence like he used to be so idrk what the central conflict wouldve been had preboot been allowed to go on <- guy who doesnt watch bumblekast
Tumblr media
my brain is kind of on a different wavelength rn but i wouldn't say the ffs are fully disbanded considering the circumstances that led to the split to begin with. if sally and bunnie both came back and antoine woke up (all of which would presumably happen, i think antoine SHOULD be disabled but idk if he would be, maybe he'd get partially roboticized to regain some mobility which i think could do well for his relationship with bunnie considering she always hated that she was partially roboticized and antoine always loved her for it, and now the person she loves most in the world is also that way. so its harder to hate herself about it because she realizes that she loves antoine just the same) then the team would essentially be reassembled. i also kind of assumed bunnie went to beaux asking to be legionized after antoine's coma, i dont remember where i got that idea though and if it was confirmed or not. cool if true though. but anyways that would mean shes also back in fighting trim.
mecha sally was def like you said one of the Big Arcs that causes a really really serious upset, so i'd figure immediately post would be a lot of really lax stuff, little character stories and things, and yeah probably sonic getting antsy about not having anything to do. tho ofc considering comic and game series story trends, i figure they wouldnt Kill robotnik or anything, he would just kind of be put out of commission for a long while in one way or another. the next arc would probably focus on some otherworldly threat instead of eggman, sort of like the gaia situation in reboot/unleashed. just to give eggman a break and feel less like But wait he isnt dead! eggman surprise. yk. but i mean even if it seems like theres no possible way for eggman to become a problem again, he always will because he is the main antagonist and the story can't really go on without him and still call itself sonic.
also also since im pretty sure a lot of the hurried cleanup regarding the echidnas was directly related to the incoming reboot and the lawsuit, a lot of that probably would not have happened. which means that the dark legion would still exist as a threat even if eggman was gone. if eggman died lien-da would GLADLY step up to the plate

how r u feeling about p3 reload
hello oh my god im so glad you asked.
i. am. so. goddamn. HYPED!! p3 is my favourite game full stop so im so excited for the fandom revival and the new content and the new discussions and seeing what theyve changed and what theyve kept the same and shit... any excuse to replay persona 3 is a good excuse in my book
however. i am not sure that persona 3 warrants a "reload"? not in a negative way: i just think that a pc release that included overworld FES aspects and the answer as WELL as FeMC and direct control of party members would have satisfied people more than a "reload". i was secretly looking forward to a persona 6 release announcement, and to see a remaster of a game that i think still holds up (and was just inaccessible to players) is a little disappointing :p
a lot of the appeal of p3 to me is how .. dated it is, in a way? its SO 2000s with the mp3 players and the fashion and it just aligns so much with what was "cool" then. i love it! im not sure if the reboot will go for that "retro" look, since its trying very hard to emulate the persona 5 style (which imo is very modern and cool, with all the stark contrast and black shading..) ultimately a more modern look would not be a negative, just different!
i am SO ATTACHED (so attached.) to the original voice actors. vic mignogna as junpei iori is what hooked me in the first place because he just has such a phenomenal energy that he brings to the character! like. i prefer og fuuka (paula tiso, i think?) and i hated seeing her replaced in sequel games :(( i LOVE the original english cast. i dont know enough about the new VAs to judge their abilities, but it will be REALLY weird to see a persona 3 without the original english cast! ill probably be curmudgeonly about the new cast upon seeing their performance, sorry in advance 😅
i still have my fingers crossed for FeMC!! :'3c shes my favourite.
i HATE the new sprites. where is the character. the style. why is it so bland now :( why does junpei look so ugly. give me back my boy. why do the look like, contorted in that weird AI art way?
i LOVE the new 3D models. aigis is so BEAUTIFUL. yukari and the MC look fantastic too..... wahhhh the models and the environments pop so well! i love the city aesthetics of p3 and a good 3D environment will lend itself so well to the clean, metallic, imposing look of tatsumi port island.......
i also find the janky-ness of persona 3 (original) very endearing. i love how strega is so LAME and that they seem to have very little plot presence, i love the lower poly models, i love the cheese of the plot and death motifs. i wonder how the remake will approach this jank! battling/dungeon crawling will probably be vastly improved (yay!) but im not sure how id feel about "fixing" the problems of the story! if they clean up the story - fixing pacing, honing character arcs, redoing cheesy dialogue - it smooths what is a raw and edgy and deeply emotional story! im not sure id like a "smoothed" persona 3 experience! then again, why remake a game to keep every piece of dialogue and every event exactly the same? it would be weird for them not to change the story! this is a very big dilemma for me :0
so yah there! :)) overall, excited for the fandom revival but not sure that persona 3 needed a remake rather than a definitive release. please, if anyone has anything to add i would love to hear what you all think! :)))

OH YEAH i forgot to send my season 10 thoughts. so like, not too much to say here honestly, because the season is like 4 episodes long. this season is definitely by far and away my most favorite season since the soft reboot. im so very delighted they brought back seasons one and two classics such as "living with evil lord garmadon who tried to kill us all last week and its really awkward and also he is the pettiest person alive" and "lets go crawling to garmadon to fix the problems which were too much for us to handle".
also garmadon has a conversation about the meaning of life with some complete rando and it is definitely the highlight of the entire season. the entire past three seasons combined, even. frankly all the suffering i went through back when i first started s8 was worth it for these like 45 seconds alone. i laughed so hard and am now obsessed with this concept.
Tumblr media
im just going to copy paste my live discord reactions because i dont have that much to say. well i do have a bit to say but its more on irrelevant, tangentially related things as opposed to the season itself since it was relatively straightforward
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
also btw the writers really need to find a better way to make cole relevant than "killing" him. frankly. he deserves so much better than what these writers are giving him
this season. this season btw the writers did something that made me REALLY proud of them. i was so pleasantly shocked i was baffled i was FLOORED. okay so at the beginning of the season jay briefly brings up the tornado of creation that they used back in like seasons 1/2 a handful of times and then proceeded to never use again and frankly its been bugging me for the past few weeks that they just. never.... did anything with it, at all. and i was even MORE annoyed that they brought it up bc i knew that we werent going to use it because these writers hate spinjitsu now apparently.... but. i was wrong. they used it at the end to beat the snot out of all the oni and i was. i was losing my mind i was so shocked i was so surprised i was so proud. live reaction here
Tumblr media
also, on other ninjago things i have been pondering for the past few days: how much, exactly, oni blood does garmadon have?
like ok because the fsm was half oni half dragon (despite having a human(? they never show his face but garmadon and wu look human so ……. ????? presumably) appearance) and then in the episode that they reveal the whole oni dragon thing in, its super implied that garmadon got the oni blood and wu got the dragon blood but 1) they both look human and 2) why doesnt garmadon have the horns/teeth. also when garmadon and lloyd go into the weird cloud stuff garmadon is 1000% sure he'll be fine because he's oni, but he says he doesnt know about lloyd bc lloyd is only part oni, but technically isnt garmadon only part oni as well ??? they also, notably, say that lloyd has both dragon and oni in him so that would mean that garmadon ALSO has dragon in him so clearly he isnt pure oni but also when everybodys beating the snot out of the oni army the leader dude seems to think that garmadon is pure (?) oni so. WHAT. also also did the fsm just like create garmadon and wu out of nothing (and, if so, bro why did you dump the evil blood into one of them you simply couldve Not Done That) or did they have a mom. i want to KNOW
also question number 2: …………………………. why does garmadon have four arms when he gets resurrected. one of the oni masks gives the user four arms but none of the other oni have four arms, and also in season 1 garmadon says he has four arms because he needs to be able to wield the four golden weapons. i think. maybe. it was something along those lines. either way when he was in the underworld he only had two and after he got out he manifested them out of nowhere so why the heck does he have four arms again
also. btw since this entire ask is basically just about garmadon i think its time to pull out this message i sent to goose right when i started ninjago again and like... yeah i know myself too well
Tumblr media
i have also started s11 i've gotten like a few episodes in and honestly incredibly jarred by the massive tonal shift AGAIN (like bestie i was JUST getting used to the last one give a girl a BREAK) and ... things that will probably not get adequately wrapped up or addressed despite the fact that i DESPERATELY want them to be because now we're going back to fun and stupid adventures and not acknowledging ANYTHING from the past 3 seasons: 1) the old tea lady, just as a concept. she didnt really contribue that much to the plot but i have so many questions. just like in general. shes an oni but doesnt seem to have any inclination to destroy things. why is that. how did she die/is she dead. garmadon seems to know her despite not having interacted with her prior on screen - how? she knew the fsm so like was she garmadon and wu's weird aunt??? why did the writers decide to make her exist when she barely has any narrative purpose?????? who the heck is this lady honestly 2) lloyd's trauma rollercoaster, just in general, but also more specifically regarding harumi. at the end of s8 its heavily implied that lloyd is going to have trust issues from this point on but then its never brought up again, and now its really never going to get brought back up again. for the past three seasons lloyd has been miserable and horrifically upset and been retraumatized so many times but now he is just. fine. hes happy now i guess. and realistically we're not going to go back to any of that. and im ANNOYED about it. 3) jay and naya getting engaged (????????????????????????????????????????) 4) garmadon's entire subplot, just as a thing. honestly i would not be surprised if they just left him Like That for the rest of the series. it kind of seemed like they were angling to bring him back to seasons 1 & 2 garmadon (or... something. either way they were going somewhere with that, definitely) during s10 and we are probably going to just drop that again. 5) garmadon & wu being half oni/half dragon. or 1/4th oni 1/4th dragon (and also lloyd's oni/dragon heritage) because, as previously stated, i am HORRIFICALLY confused on this entire front, but either way that never really became relevant in any meaningful way and im annoyed about it. its like they were going to do something with it and then… never really got around to it. honestly i was kind of expecting lloyd to get a mini arc abt him wondering if he's going to end up like current garmadon in regards to the oni blood thing but then it………. never happened. thanks, ninjago writers
also, the team voltron human rights violations i mentioned making jokes about
Tumblr media
thrilled that garmadon gets to be fun again... your big bad being the comedic relief is the trope of the century. let alone him doing that by just doing normal ass things. also incredibly funny how much your conversations have been mirroring mine lately asdkjffj. garmadon sells the dad-visiting-the kid's-first-place-after-moving-out-and-messing-with-the-thermostat wonderfully. but the thermostat is the controls to a logistically impossible flying crime-fighting ship.
garmadon. saving girls from complicated relationships one accidental and incredibly awkward interruption at a time. lets be real you can't tell me misako and wu would have worked out at all garmadon was doing them both a favor /j. also great work with the screencaps i desperately want that to be a new meme format
yes yes YES the return... the tornado of creation is such an artifact of ninjago's earliest plans to be just 40 minutes i'm SO glad it got its due.
ah yes,, predictability my old friend. i went into rejoining the fandom expecting to latch onto The (Allegedly) Normal Ones and yeah. i did. the garmadon appreciation came completely out of left field for me though but im VERY glad it did. highlight of my year. the garmadon and lloyd dynamic could keep me in the fandom singlehandedly if I didn't already have incredible amounts of brainrot about zane.
aside from the incredibly valuable human rights information (that is making my night) i think the biggest takeaway from this thrilling round of psuedolive-blogging is the series' perfect new tagline:
Tumblr media
thank you wu. great work buddy.

hiiiii, joy and mara for the character thing
thank you!
JOY:
Why I like them: she's so well developed and funny and she just feels so real?? like I love female characters with actual flaws that they learn from its so much nicer than her just being perfect from the get go.
Why I don’t: I mean the nina article?? its kinda obvious tho. also maybe her involvement in jerome and mara's relationship at the very beginning of s3 like i get it and she was just being a good friend but I feel like if mara made more of those decisions herself then maybe the heartbreak would've hurt her less?? idk its pretty minor. also the fabian kiss(es) because.....
Favorite episode (scene if movie): the scene where she takes over the class and her scene with jerome where she tells them to be the bigger person
Favorite season/movie: three!!!
Favorite line: “aw eddie, someone already invented spaghetti bolognese”
Favorite outfit: her s3 uniform
OTP: jeroy
Brotp: joytricia, mara and joy, joy and alfie, idk most people
Head Canon: she has a cat named bella after bella from twilight lol
Unpopular opinion: I understand where people are coming from when they say the joy and nina plotline was unnecessary and some parts definitely were but idk I liked joy's arc in s2 I think it was a realistic teenage girl reaction to coming back to your home and finding that someone else has kinda taken your place. I like complex female relationships and I think in the end it was worth doing. also, I like that the fabian thing did follow into s3. like yeah maybe it could feel a little repetitive but with nina gone I think she needed real closure, not just stepping aside for the sake of someone else but to actually get a real answer and move on to have her arc where she found herself was far more real than just having her show up at the beginning of the season with a new look and attitude with no real growth idk I love her
A wish: idk a scene at the end of s3 or tor where she and patricia jus got to be friends and talk a little about everything idk
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: a reboot lol idk unless its done exclusively done by the people who did the sbtb reboot I don't ever wanna see a yassified 2022 version of her character development
5 words to best describe them: idkkkkk I don't like this part
My nickname for them: ?
MARA:
Why I like them: she so real and flawed and manages to be smart without slotting into the nerd archetype where she like hates fun and she's unapologetic about who she is and she’s die hard for her friends and I really appreciate that
Why I don’t: people in the show wince at some of the problematic shit she does (if they even know about it) but like the show doesn’t hold her accountable for much?? she keeps making the same kind of mistakes for the entire run of the show without really learning from them because no one ever makes her?? she has a massive problem with boundaries and knowing when to step back and mind her business.
Favorite episode (scene if movie): s3 revenge arc and tor
Favorite season/movie: same as above
Favorite line:  “We better hurry because it’s 93 million miles away! Science joke I’ll explain on the way”
Favorite outfit: i don't knowww lol her graduation gown
OTP: mickara
Brotp: joy and mara, patricia and mara, alfie and mara, eddie and mara
Head Canon: she was only put in boarding school in secondary school because of her parents’ travelling and busy schedules due to their careers as famous sports people and previous to that she was home schooled. she has a great relationship with her parents
Unpopular opinion: she was wayyy too in jerome’s business in s2 like to get that involved in his family and almost manipulate jerome’s feelings for her in order to get poppy what she wanted was too much like he was obsessed with her and still you could tell he was on the verge of snapping. and to write that article about eddie and jerome’s relationships with their fathers based purely on what they’d told her in confidence and then publish it without their permission?? in a place eddie’s dad could literally read it whilst barely concealing their identities?? that was kinda fucked. and people say her comment about jerome’s dad in s3 was out of left field but like she was saying shit like “do you want to end up like your dad” in s2 she’s always had this sense of moral superiority about the situation and being mad was all it took for that to properly come out. like she's such an interesting character but she’s definitely among the more sheltered of the house.
A wish: I just want her to be happy, see a therapist, figure some things out.
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: people who say she’d never talk to anyone from anubis again you're so wrong that’s her family!!
5 words to best describe them: -
My nickname for them: I honestly ??
