Man. I wanna talk abt Rise Leo again now

#I’m SORRY it’s not my fault I picked the one everyone gets really annoying about as my favorite #No bro I’m different bro I swear bro wait please- #It’s like. I got bait-and-switched SO HARD with Leo on my first watch #I went in essentially blind outside of like. Basic knowledge of what a teenage mutant ninja turtle IS from cultural osmosis #But I didn’t know these characters I had no expectations #So I watched Minotaur Maze & I see the cocky blue jokester character whos worse than the rest of the cast and has a hint(TM) of insecurity #and I went “oh. Ive seen this character type before. This is the Lance voltron. This is the early-seasons sokka. I know how this goes.” #And I’m sort of at the point in my life where I’m over that trope Yknow? It was cool when I was 15 and hated myself but now that’s old hat. #So I didn’t care for Leo that much #And then I get to Many Unhappy Returns and that whole perception gets FLIPPED ON ITS HEAD #I REALIZE IVE BEEN PLAYED #TRICKED #BAMBOOZLED #The confidence wasn’t a ruse at all! and that reframes so much from season one and so much going forward!!! #He’s a cocky magnificent bastard and would probably be a badass hero if he gave a shit but instead is only here to be silly with his fam #And that’s AWESOME #But anyway I feel like most people never had that bait and switch moment #They just moved forward with the belief that Leo’s is a bit of a loser and hates himself for it #And then fandom does what fandom do and hyperfocuses on that one trait to the point of mischaracterization #And I’m sitting here like “I love all the content for my blorbo but oh no a lot of it’s weird and off” #Rottmnt

love 90% of the hl2vrai tag being filled with the discourse about the stream btw thats so cool /sarc

#just shut up and scream about the trailer drop like everyone else ffs #who cares about how many people screamed about the bait and switch #who cares about telling people to ‘cope’ #for the people that were angry (though there are few here): this is usually what rtvs does #you are valid to be angry about this because of the long wait but actively hating on rtvs comparing this to 9/11- #-and blaming that anger on ‘autism’? for shame #for the people that are on the opposite side: of course there are gonna be people disappointed- #-but its disrespectful to just tell them to cry about it #everyone just needs to genuinely shut the hell up #we got hl2vrai confirmed. that’s all that matters #you liked bbvrai? then post about bbvrai #but 100 posts bitching about the stream is unacceptable #i bet it was this bad in 2020 #[ .txt post ]

chainsaw man manga part 2 spoilers why aren’t i in bed yet 

honestly csm part 2′s at that point where i just can’t TELL if War’s insistence that “oh no i can be super strong i just need a powerful weapon!” is overconfidence on her part or if its deliberate misrepresentation of the situation given the degree of humanity’s Post-War-iness and they (plural given potential collaboration from “Famine”) are just attempting to engineer a scenario where Denji specifically is weaponized for its own sake.

#zanathan book hour #like. say they get their hands on 'ownership' of chainsaw. they then use that ownership to un-retract their own strength and that of sub-con #sub-concepts like forgotten weaponry and the like #nothing that they've DONE would really point against that. #like theres the double-misunderstanding with denji but the degree to which that could be social manipulation on asa versus asa derailing the #plan versus asa accidentally RE-railing the plan by giving War an opportunity to realize her comparitive weakness and thus little chance of #*violently* conquering the chainsaw boy thus making this bait-and-switch with the bizzare non-denji a better way to force the ownership thin #WAIT THERES STILL THAT 'KEEP DENJI OUT OF THE LIMELIGHT' SECT GOING ON WITH WHATSHISFACE AS A PART OF IT AND LIKE- #DECOY CHAINSAW MEN WOULDN'T ACTUALLY GET IN THE WAY OF THAT-*AUGH* #AND THERE BEING A MAKIMA-STYLE 'HEAVY LIFTER' OF THE FAMINE-LIKE VARIETY BEING BEHIND IT WOULD MAKE. MORE SENSE THAN THE ALTERNATIVES IVE SE #SEEN #GIVEN PEOPLE AWARE OF CHAINSAW'S NATURE ARE DISGUSTING FEW AND LIKE. KISHIBE'S IMPLIED TO BE VERY MUCH PRO DENJI CHAINSAWING AWAY AT THINGS #GIVEN HIS 'BEST SUITED FOR THE JOB' SPEECH FHKLDGSHKL #i'm going insane

Meanwhile, from what I can gather in The Mandalorius, Bo-Katan is gay but she won’t be allowed to be gay and also she’s the one with the Best Character Arc and is the Chosen One but that’s obviously going to be subverted so she ends up with nothing.

#LOOK if I am Wrong maybe I'll go watch the season #but I refuse to believe that anything Important and not Bait and Switch will happen with her #honestly she'll be lucky to make it out alive and not get shot in the back by Lady Horns or whatever #swan doesn't watch the mandalorius #I'm just waiting here filing my nails going ''mm-hm'' and waiting for things to fall apart

[freakwiththeknifecollection]

Fucked up and evil how they had them almost kiss and then killed her later that same episode

#what kind of bait and switch bullshit- #to clarify. I DO think it's important that she said no to him because it says SO MUCH about her character #HOWEVER. had he asked her out properly and given their relationship a real chance which I believe could've been possible had the events #of 5x10 not end the way they did. I think in that case she definitely would've kissed him #though I firmly believe if they dated she would've taken it slow and made him wait physically speaking because she has too much self #respect to become just another notch in a bedpost. she'd want to know that what they have is real first #and also bonus she'd enjoy teasing him. he makes it too easy it's just too fun #chestervelle #em rambles

.hack has become SAO. Stuck in the game, cant log out. If you die in the game, you die in real life. Incredible turn of events honestly.

#im fine with the s@o twist personally cuz everything that does is it is better than s@o anyway simply by virtue of not being s@o #CANT WAIT FOR NO MORE DEATH BAITING WHERE NOW WHEN IT HAPPENS YOU DIE FOR REAL #OKAY KUHN. NOW DIE TO MAKE UP FOR THE BAIT AND SWITCH FROM VOLUME ONE. ITLL MEAN SOMETHING THIS TIME #i would be sad for real. genuinely worried about characters that mean something to me actually legit dying now :( #it could be anybody. #personal

Puting Mafuyu in a different school in the unit swap au is very funny to me cause for Mizuki it means that not only do they not befriend Rui but Mafuyu does before they ever even have a conversation with him. Which tbf is still only after their initial unit story but still

#rat rambles #sekai posting #unit swap au #the good news is the mafuyu does introduce the two after deciding mizuki needs more friends #the two met after mafuyu had to go back to school as themself now #they were still trying to maintain a bit of an image but they kept having panic attacks over it so they started heading to the roof #whenever they felt a panic attack coming and rui still hangs out up there so hes there to say hi #mafuyu mainly started to talk to him more because he was the only one who didnt make a big thing out of their change or acted worried #the two arent super close or anything but they hang out at school and chat a lot #so when mafuyu was like how can I maks mizuki meet more ppl when I have like 3 real friends. wait hold on minute #so they get mizuki into coming to a haunted house with them and ena by using ena being a scaredy cat as bait and then also grab rui #and theyre forced to pair up and switch in the middle and thats mafuyus grand plab to force mizuki and rui to hang out #it has mixed results but it goes well enough #mafuyus presense around rui at school though does kinda scare off nene from trying to spend more time around him at school tho :(

[co5oo]

so it follows a pattern

i wonder what we will be getting in 2/22/2024

#daft punk #me waiting for the 30th remixed daft punk album #me waiting for the drumless guitarless beatless voiceless version of ram #me waiting for daft punk switch and bait where they say theyre coming back and then proceed to stream 4 hours of breaking bad gmod roleplay #im still not over this mr. radio tv.

I love that for Scream (1996) they cast the most murderous looking bastard on earth and then made his accomplice Shaggy fucking Rodgers

#really pulled a bait and switch there #'ah yeah this guy's deffo the murders just look how sus he is' #'wait a minute! that goofy idiot was also the killer???' #scream

[oswednesday]

of course again these are all Rather advance problems to have isnt it? compared to a lot of stuff, its a near luxury to read pages of pages of interestingly designed women characters talking about like war and stuff with their bodies like chilling

#and i know long term the waiting for the guy characters to enter and take over is like a bait and switch #shout out to this guy for thinking rose/jade was more interesting than john/dave and making a whole comic about it
