#don't get me wrong though

[kelbunny]

I feel more people within the tristrat fandom need to understand that Roland's chapter 17 decision is not bc he actually believes Hyzante is correct but because he's gotten to such a point of desperation where he sees that as the only option left.

Like, his main motivation does not change, and it's the reason why he's the one that represents Morality. Because that motivation has always been to protect and make better the lives of as many people as possible, and this is clear in basically every decision of his aside from maybe when deciding to reveal his identity to Svarog or not. Even his chapter 17 decision is out of a desire to help people, it's just no longer as noble when you're not part of the few being sacrificed for the many.

And it's why he willingly renounces his 17 decision in all other endings and admits to his own cowardice.

#Also I feel more people need to remember that the Morality Utility and Liberty endings are BAD ENDINGS #And the only good ending is the golden ending #Also the fact people act like Roland is the one being hypocritical during chapter 17 #He's not! All three of them are are :D #And just like with Benedict his ending is him becoming the worst version of himself #Don't get me wrong though #There's no saving utility ending Roland #And I would gladly beat utility Roland to death with a steel chair #But I see so many takes that feel like people just completely throw out and ignore all of Rolands characterization once they hit chapter 17 #Triangle strategy #triangle strategy spoilers #Roland glenbrook #Kelbunn's rambles #Roland is not as horrible of a person as some people make him out to be #Unless it's Utility Roland

the ATLA movie was abysmal, so the bar was buried under the floorboards when it came to the live action show

(I haven't finished ep8, it's hard to find the motivation to do so rn)

I will say, I have mostly enjoyed watching this show overall

I went into this show as open-minded as I could, trying to view it as something different, with low expectations

I started off cautiously but pleasantly surprised

I could initially overlook some pacing/plot/character changes, because I was willing and curious to see where they would take them

not every change made me actively upset, most just made me a little sad or varying levels of confused

and then there were a few scenes/additions that genuinely impressed me and made me feel things

unfortunately though, those moments with actual emotional weight, made every lackluster emotional moment stand out much more significantly

its like it raised the bar for itself midway through, then tripped over it :(

again though, I can't say I hate it even if I dont love it, and I find any intense hatred or blind praise for this show as a whole, silly/annoying (let's remember nuance guys)

#the fact that even in comparison to itself it still falls flat #don't get me wrong though #I think the good parts of this show make it worth watching once #atla #natla #netflix atla #netflix avatar #avatar the last airbender #katara #sokka #aang #zuko #iroh

Please, Talented Skib Animators:

Can we get a recreation of the Dumb Ways to Die video, but it's all G-T and Sci being absolutely fucking mutilated and given the worst pain possible?

And then for the little dancing parts, they're being forced to dance by moving their head side to side and the Titans are holding them at gunpoint behind. They endure even worse deaths and injuries each time and when the dance scenes repeat, their struggling to keep going more and more each time and they look more and more in pain and terrified, and by the end their slowing down and occasionally stop in pure agony, and either TSpeak bitch slaps them like he did to the mafia toilet, TCam slams his railgun into their head like he did to the fake G-T or TTV THX's them straight in the ear.

And finally, "Duuuumb ways to diee, So many dumb ways to die-e-e" is replaced with " Evvv, ree - body, wants to-o rule the woorrld" since that's the anthem of the alliance (I think) so they play it in the last moments of the toilet Titans.

#skibidi toilet #skibidi #skibiditoilet #cinemaman #titan speakerman #titan cameraman #For context: TCam would be somehow revived in this. #How? Don't ask me! This is a silly animation idea. #Don't get me wrong though #I'd still love to see it

Actually not only would Arle be insecure about not "looking" like an Avatar, but also over the fact that Amitie and Ringo probably would've been better fits in other ways too.

Amitie's easily the most popular of the three within the fandom, and has the potential to be ridiculously powerful due to Lore Stuff which would absolutely be a good thing because for an Avatar more power means more potential for crazy shenanigans means more Content

Ringo's a physics nerd who's so good at math that all of her spells are based around it, and "mad genius who is also a dumbass" is always hilarious, plus she has the most red in her design of the three by virtue of straight-up being a redhead, and she canonically lives in modern day Japan so real-world-based memes would integrate extremely easily

The whole "unstable due to her code being split between the separated halves of her soul, one of which is evil" thing, which Amitie and Ringo obviously wouldn't have had to deal with.

#smg4 #puyo puyo #au timeline stuff #arle nadja #amitie puyo puyo #ringo ando #doppelganger arle #don't get me wrong though #while she does think they'd have been better for the position than her she understands the drawbacks too well to wish they had it instead

Just a thought, nothing more.

I think what stops me from actually writing down all the ideas I have about fanfictions/one shots and such, what stopped me to CONTINUE to write as I used to do, is the fact that no one, or at least, few people would enjoy it.

I know there are some of my friends and mutuals here who would very gladly read whatever I would write, they would put a like and reblog it as well and encourage me. But..not that I want attention, not that I'm an attention seeker, but when it comes to writing and publishing, I want to achieve something big?

I want people to leave comments, I want people to feel deeply my writing; I want people who SEE in their mind what I'm describing, I want people to visualise my writing; people who can't wait for an update, who ask for more, who become attached to whatever I'm writing to think and say:"Yes I definitely want more. Yes, that's incredibly good. Yes I'll spam them". I fantasise of someone drawing a fanart based on something I wrote. I fantasise about people getting excited whenever I would publish something new. I fantasise about all of this. And I want it. I want to aim high when it comes to writing.

Another obstacle is the language. As most of you all know, my first language isn't English and, even though I KNOW that I'm very fluent and good at it, I still think that when I translate in English whatever I write (because I firstly write everything in Italian before translating it in English), it loses that sparkle, that uniqueness that characterizes my writing style, consequently looking and becoming dull and monotone when translated in English. I take a look at it and think:"It's not the same as it is in Italian".

I want all of this. I don't want some reblogs and some likes here and there. And I may look pretentious and egotistic, since I know that there are people out there who break their backs to write and to publish and that they would pay to have those few likes/reblogs/comments I talk about.

I'm not complaining, but I just feel like I want, NEED more, I want to achieve more and feel pleasured and satisfied with my work by seeing that ALSO THE OTHERS enjoy it just as much as I do...because if I do actually write something and then publish it, and see people not giving it the slightest bit of attention, of a look, then I feel like all the effort I put into accomplishing all of that, vanishes and disappears: consequently discouraging me.

I want to know how it feels like, and I honestly don't see why it should be wrong.

#is it too much to ask? #and I KNOW and I'm way too aware that if I want to achieve all of this it should and it MUST start by myself #but whenever I do publish something in those rare occasions I don't see what I would like to see #just a thought #how it feels to be a writer: an unfinished book by me #HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA #I think that I just need to sit my ass down and to ACTUALLY START to write all I have in mind if I ACTUALLY want to see what I talked about #my post #don't get me wrong though #I LOVE and I TRULY TRULY APPRECIATE the likes and reblogs and etc that I get from my friends here #because without them I wouldn't even get a like honestly hands down HAHAHAHA

Rank the Marauders

yes sir 💪

1.) sirius - my first love and he'll always be my last <3 i might just be more biased towards him because he was my first fictional crush, but you really can't get better than sirius <3

2.) james, a close second! he's quickly moved up the ranks for me, i think i've just been in the mood for a big beefy himbo lately </3 i just know he'd be the sweetest, i just wanna get a hug from him :(

3.) remus - don't get me wrong! i don't dislike remus at all, i just think we're too similar. while i want nothing more to curl up on his chest and let him read to me, i think i need someone who would bring me out of my shell more, otherwise we'd just be hermits for the rest of our lives </3

#mei's mail #don't get me wrong though #i love them all so differently that it was really hard for me to rank them #this is just my current mood :]

Turtle Takedown Teamwork.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #tulu xuanwu #Something about changing the action sequence to something gentle is hilarious to me. #The lesson here is “Be nice to turtles. They are gentle creatures. And many are very endangered.” #don't get me wrong here; I love this scene a lot. LWJ's string technique is one of my favoyrite things. #We do get a fair amount of LWJ fighting but I always loved how the theme of strings comes into play. #There is actually a lot to unpack with LWJ being associate with 'strings'. #The musicianship: Of dedication and rigor in one's practice. #The tension between following along a path or composing your own way forwards (playing what has been written vs composing) #A string is a tightly coiled/taunt entity; The same tension that makes it sing so beautifully can be it's downfall if pushed too hard. #And as a non-musical string - something that binds. Be it to his sect and family or how he binds his fate to WWX - #LWJ cannot exist without his binds. It is not something which ties him down though. It keeps him together. #And he himself *is* a bind. He 'ties wwx down' in ways that are initially negatively viewed ('come to gusu' - feels like: come be trapped) #But later it is shown how (despite being introduced as a free spirit) WWX truly wants to be bound to something and someone. #Marriage is a bind he wants. He wants to be tied and grounded by LWJ. #It's starting to sound like innuendo. Let's call his fondness for being literally tied up smart thematic writing. #Finally.

asking and receiving (bonus below readmore)

[ID: A black and white, digital Trigun comic of Vash and Wolfwood. In the first panel is a close up of Wolfwood's mouth as he says, "Vash". Accompanying it is a close up shot of Vash's eye, widen and cheeks flushed. Wolfwood presses a knee against the open space between Vash's legs and says, "Tell me everything you want from me." Wolfwood's face is equally as flushed. He continues to say, "I'll give it to you. Everything." As he talks, a wide shot shows the both of them in white space. Vash is sitting, leaning a little back with both hands pressed against the surface he's sitting on. Wolfwood is in his white dress shirt, stripped of the blazer. He's still leaning in with one knee in between Vash's spread legs, his right hand touching Vash's lips and his left hand behind his back.

The shot closes in on Vash's mouth and Wolfwood's hand against it, pressing down on the lower lip as he says, "You have to ask though. Go on." His hand moves down to Vash's chin, gently holding it. With a shy and uncertain expression, Vash hesitantly asks, "Um... K... Kiss... Please?" Wolfwood, without wasting a second, leans in and kisses him and indulges by pressing deeper, eliciting a small noise of surprise from Vash.

Wolfwood moves away from Vash first and with a smile, asks, "What else?" Vash tugs on Wolfwood's left sleeve, wordlessly budging Wolfwood to give him his hand that was still behind his back. In the next panel, Vash utters, "Hold me..?" He's holding Wolfwood's left hand with his own while his right hand is reaching for his waist. Wolfwood complies, moving his left hand to Vash's shoulder and his right hand continues to touch Vash's cheek. Wolfwood asks again, "What else?"

More comfortable now, Vash leans in to kiss Wolfwood. Wolfwood catches him immediately, pressing his thumb against Vash's lips to stop him before demanding, "Hey. Ask." Vash looks back in surprise and Wolfwood meets his eye with a quiet, insistent look. They're quiet for a moment before Vash leans in again and curtly requests, "Kiss. Me." Wolfwood says "Good", smiling as he lifts his hand away, and meets Vash's lips. In the next shot, Wolfwood had adjusted his position, sitting on Vash's thigh. The hand that was once on Vash's cheek has moved its way to Vash's nape, pushing away the collar of his jacket with his pinky. His other hand continues to grip on Vash's shoulder. Still kissing, Wolfwood asks again, "What else?"

In the next shot, Vash is starting to turn, moving Wolfwood with him. Vash asks, "Let me on top of you?" Wolfwood says, "Mhm" before asking again, "What else?" The next panel shows a close look of Vash's face. He's looking down, flushed and shy just as he had been at the beginning, but now, more decisive. Vash asks, "Wolfwood... Let me have you..?" A panel of Wolfwood taking Vash's hand into his, pulling it towards his chest. The next panel shows Wolfwood lying down where Vash had laid him. Vash's hand is on Wolfwood's chest, covering the cross of his rosary while Wolfwood's hand lingers against his, loosely pressing Vash's hand in place. He looks up at Vash with a shy smile of his own, flushed cheeks. He says, "All yours."

A panel shows a close up of Vash's tender gaze before he leans down to be closer to Wolfwood. The final shot is a front view of their positions, Vash's face turned away from the viewer; Vash is leaning over Wolfwood who's lying down with his right leg draped over Vash's legs. Wolfwood's left hand holds onto Vash's left arm. With finality, Vash says, "...Mine." End ID]

[ID: A follow up bonus comic in a looser, sketchier style. They're laying comfortably in bed when Vash asks, "What was that earlier?" referecing to the start of the previous comic. Wolfwood glances away and says, "To get you used to it. Asking. And getting what you ask for. Since you're alwasy hesitant about it." Vash's eyes widen, tight lipped. Wolfwood continues, "Knowing you, it'll be a tough habit to break..." When he says this, Vash can't help but laugh, unable to deny it. Wolfwood slowly brings a hand to Vash's cheek and continues to say, "So I'll keep trying -- whatever ways I can... to get it through your thick skull." Vash takes Wolfwood's hand with his, kissing the the palm gently. Wolfwood's eyes soften and holding onto Vash's cheek, he leans in to try for a kiss. Vash says, "Hey..." before stopping Wolfwood's lips with the back of his hand, a smug look on his face, "Ask." Wolfwood's embarrassed and with little irritation, asks, "Really?" Vash smiles, saying, "You're in need of practice too." They pause for a moment, Wolfwood looking contemplatively, before he's leaning in again, asking, "May I please kiss you?" Vash looks him in the eyes and says, "Yes." The comic ends with a "chu", indicating an off-panel kiss. End ID]

It's so weird that in angel s5e2 they do a little flashback to Spike's blaze of glory moment in the last episode of Buffy... but they leave out Buffy saying "I love you". It's such a blatant omission, the ONLY omission from that scene, that it feels totally deliberate and kind of dishonest. Considering a lot of the Spike and Angel moments in S5 revolve around their jealousy and rivalry towards each other, and a LOT of that is to do with Buffy like... Why would you leave it out? It's a pretty big moment for Spike's character in general.

As far as I recall they don't even mention it, they just mention the fact that Spike and Buffy have had a lot of sex compared to bangel's ONE disastrous time (that they remember) but it does kind of cheapen it for Spike. A big motivation for him not leaving LA could have been him not wanting to hold Buffy to her words, since he clearly doesn't believe that she loves him (even though she does, as per Whedon). He presumably thinks she only said that to make him feel better in his final moments, because she wouldn't have to actually follow through on her words. Which is sad. But it makes much more sense as a motivation than the weird 'it cheapens my moment of glory' excuse like since when does spike give a shit about that

#spuffy #idk missed opportunity for sure. maybe it's brought up later in the season? I can't remember rn #but they do kind of shunt spike's complexity and make his character all about angel's feelings #though don't get me wrong i LOVE their fight over the cup #i love the symbolism of spike being able to hold the cross while angel can't. #spike pointing out that he fought for his soul while angel had to be forced to change is sooooo cathartic #because that's the thing about angel is he's not inherently a good person. he has to continually fight to be better #he's the faith to spike's buffy #btvs thoughts #btvs #anyway their continued insistence that buffy and angel are soulmates that transcend any other relationships #is rly detrimental to both buffy and angel as characters imo. as well as any other relationships they might have #cordelia and spike who actually put in the work to get to know them as people are automatically relegated to second fiddle #dont get me wrong i love bangel for the angst but i dont buy that buffy will always be in love w the same guy she barely knew at age 16
