#i cant even begin to explain. how insane this makes me #the doctor forgetting everything except for this one six note melody that he plays over and over #he doesn’t know who wrote it or the words or anything but he just keeps playing it #the fact when he first starts playing it he’s a sailor who’s trying to find anything exciting to keep himself going #so bored and listless he’s considering throwing himself over the side #the fact the lyric is sail on sailor sail on as if it’s fitz telling him over the decades to keep going #did he go to hitchemus to try and figure out who wrote it? not knowing the one who did is standing next to him #karl saying it’s all about him when the song the doctor is talking about is fitzs. it was all about fitz it’s always been about fitz #i finished this fucking book and i am on the verge of tears o will have you know. #doctor who #eighth doctor #edas

Sailor Moon Questions: Why is Mamoru the worst part? Is it a Kaiden Alenko sort of thing or did you inherit Kunihiko Ikuhara's dislike maybe? Also, what about PGSM gets past your dislike of live action remakes?

Mamoru is the worst part of Sailor Moon because he is BORINGGGGG. He is literally just a prize for Usagi. And I mean that's perfectly fine because, to put it bluntly, "this ain't about him". Mamoru is only important because he's important to Usagi. We only care about him because Usagi does. If she didn't care about him we could kick him out of the group and never think about him ever again.

The problem is just that sometimes, although very rarely in the 90s anime, the story makes a big drama over him and Usagi's relationship. Honestly the ONLY reason is works in the anime is because we're always seeing it from Usagi's perspective. So we care because she cares.

But whenever we have to spend time with Mamoru it's just so incredibly dull and uninteresting because the guy has no personality. And what little personality he DOES have isn't particularly enjoyable. In the manga he's a bit of a sarcastic bitch which is at least SOMETHING I like about him. But in the anime and in PGSM... he's just a anal retentive jerk most of the time, brooding and aloof to make him ~*mysterious*~ and desirable to the preteen audience because he is uncomplicated and therefore nonthreatening. But in the anime especially, as soon as he and Usagi officially get together he is all but a blank slate. Just passively nice in a way that forgoes any individuality. He's literally the opposite of Bella Swan. A sort of reverse Y/N where instead of being a self insert for the audience, he's an insert for the audience to project whatever they think would make for a cool boyfriend because he has no describable traits. Hell we barely even know what he's supposed to be studying!

This is why a rather big group of fans, especially back in the day, preferred Usagi with Seiya in the anime. Because at least Seiya had SOMETHING resembling a personality. I don't like Seiya but they at least are a CHARACTER.

And then because Mamoru has 0 personality it brings up a lot of questions the source material isn't built to address which is "why are these two together?". Because without actually having a personality, they don't seem to have anything in common at all. And that brings up a lot of uncomfortable questions regarding fate, and destiny, and whether the only reason they are together is pressures from a past life and pressures of a Utopian future they are obligated to fulfill.

None of this is something the story is equipped or interested in discussing, however. Because it's a story for preteen girls (except for the final Stars arc, especially in the manga, where Naoko decided to go off her shit and make the entire thing about philosophy regarding the self, static death versus dynamic life, the acceptance of chaos because it is the only way good can exist even if it means the possibility of evil, self love, the universe as organism etc etc).

Mamoru isn't like Kaidan at all tho because Kaidan is an actual character. I can tell you things about Kaidan, both good and bad, about his personality, how he sees things and how he thinks about things. Mamoru is literally just the male version of a sexy lamp.

I clown on Kaidan and make fun of him because I really appreciate his role in Shepard's story and his importance to the games as a whole. He enriches the world and plot, especially as a foible to Shepard. I think Kaidan's clashing with Shepard makes her personal story BETTER. kaidan ADDS to the narrative specifically because of who he is, how he thinks and how he responds to things, and how he and Shepard have to work out their shit to reach equal grounds and overcome their past issues and mistakes with each other. Kaidan also humanises Shepard in a way that I adore. Because Kaidan and Shepard's messy relationship shows that Shepard is just a human being. Which is immensely important to Mass Effect as a whole.

Shepard isn't space Jesus. She's a human being. Which is why she makes me so emotional.

Mamoru is just there so Usagi can give the preteen girls watching their wish fulfillment of a cool older boyfriend.

And that's just incredibly dull. Especially when the canon within the story itself, in all its incarnations, has other really great relationships which are complex and nuanced and actually interesting.

What. The Count of Monte Cristo is so good :0

#NO-ONE TOLD ME??? #I'm listening to it on the train gasping & shit #the narrator mispronounces a few words sadly & his French accent for the characters is sometimes impenetrable #but idc this book is so good I am LIVING #they locked this bitch up for 14 years!! no trial no charge!! #god help him he was only 19 & so on & so forth #I would've lost my mind #also. the using suicidal ideation to cope??? #what is it w me & sailors who fantasise abt killing themselves #anyway he's just busted out of prison. naked. swimming for his life #the Edmond is out of his cage. yes. YES. the Edmond is free #I'm sooo ready for him to tear these bitches a new one but I'm only like 15% of the way through the book so. I assume all will not go well #anyway the more I read/listen to‚ the more I realise Edmond Dantes is Odysseus Lite #except at least Laertes makes it to the end of the Odyssey alive. unlike Old Dantes :( so Odysseus gets a point for that #I should've realised when they didn't give him a name tbh #anyway NO SPOILERS #I'm aware that it's 180 years old. STILL. 🤫 #ALSO THE SCENE W NOIRTIER??? lich rally breathless #dripping w swagger. fuck les gendarmes. complete identity metamorphosis. drags his failson. fuck les gendarmes TWO!! #I'm sorry Villefort I'm sure ur not a failson #I just haven't read enough yet. & ur certainly not yr father lmfaooo #The Count of Monte Cristo

80s/90s kids' cartoons be like:

-The Leader

-The Jokester

-The Muscle

-The Brains

-And The Girl

#rhys-ravenfeather signing off #funnily enough the cartoon in particular i was thinking of earlier today when i thought of this was a more modern one #*coughPAWPATROLcough* #but yeah real talk--i know the smurfette principle thankfully has started to die out more in recent years #and THANK GOD for that because i absolutely HATED this trope as a kid -___- #and yes that is pretty much the main reason i decided to have benny as the only boy among the kid characters in oto #and yes i also know there were other characters like sailor moon that reversed the dynamic #but it still really irked me when i'd watch a cartoon with a team that was mostly made up of boys and just ONE girl #and her entire character was just 'girl' #the only real exception i can think of off the top of my head is rescue rangers--gadget WAS the only girl on the team #but she was the inventor instead of just 'the girl' #welp i went off on a tangent about something that's probably pretty unimportant in the long run heh #back to my usual blogging

Kind Or Suspicious?

Meena: Quick question. When Artica knows you like something in the media very much and she gets something from it for you… and Uhh… this particular item is super expensive…

Ash: I’ll just cut to the chase, Meena! When she does that, should you be concerned, or at the very least, worried?

Nooshy: Absolutely!

Johnny: NOOSHY!

#sing 2021 #sing 2016 #sing nooshy #sing johnny #meena sing #sing ash #sing artica #Artica just wants to be a kind person #Meena needed a new backpack anyway #her old one didn’t even have Sailor Moon on it! #Ash still thinks Artica is bribing her for something #But she loves the Kuromi tee anyway #Buster wishes his Troupe would grow up already! #Except for Rosita

Jimmy Buffet had some great songs and the number of people who don't know him make me want to scream "LISTEN TO MORE MUSIC VARIETY" at the top of my lungs.

#jimmy buffet #Fins #a pirates look at forty #he went to paris #son of a son of a sailor #yes except for the first one I am naming almost onoly the sad songs #Fins is just about a woman having to deal with assholes. #but also seriously some of the artists people dont know #give me the impression that they only listen to the current top pop idols #like swift and the red headed dude #or something #LIKE #its just like novels there is worth in older music

College homework. It's a vanitas still life contribution to my grandfather. I have little painting experience so forgive it's watery botched look.

#I forgot to write the symbolism page thats supposed to go with it #Because it was 3 am and I forgot so I'll just write it all here. I spent way too long arranging this just to not talk about the symbolism #Everything in this photo was something of his. Except for the glass apple #The dark parchment paper in the back is a sort of family crest made for his family all the way back in 1920 #The reflection makes it hard to see but there is a design there #Next to it is a photograph of my grandfather as a baby #Right in front of it is a small urn filled with his ashes #This symbolizes life and death. As was the requirement for the project #Bellow that is a cracked double-picture frame of him and my grandma and their kids back in the 80s #The blue cloth behind it is his Yamaka. #On top of the Yamaka was one of his menorahs #Now my grandfather wasn't Jewish #But he was made an honorable jew by the Jewish community #Because of his dedication to ww2 education and Jewish culture #The Bible with the pride flag on top is meant to depict his personal struggle with his sexuality and his family's faith #The sailors glass pyramid on top doesn't mean anything I just thought it would look cool in a painting #The book in the middle was his Catholic choir book #Meant to symbolize both his passion for traditional music and sound #Because sound was another requirement for the project #On top of the book is his last pair of glasses he had before he died #The cloth everything sits on is actually a velvety Buddhist cloth #The actual blanket is a lot more detailed and intricate #But I was running out of time so I just simplified it #In case you couldn't tell my grandpa had his involvement in a myriad of religions #And finally the glass apple represents my grandmother. It was hers #I felt bad making a tribute just for him. #I wanted to put her in there somewhere #I also feel as though it reflects her role in his life #They were both teachers #And even though she was his wife. I feel like she didn't mean as much to him as she wanted to

tfw u take off ur clothes 2 disguise urself as ur friend's dead body so that the jailers (ur in jail btw) will bury u instead of ur friend in the jail graveyard after which u will dig ur way out & escape, only they tie a cannonball 2 ur feet & throw u in the sea instead, & u only survive bc u r able 2 saw off the cannonball using ur dead friend's knife which u brought w u in case u were discovered & had 2 stab sumbody, & thankfully u happen 2 b a champion swimmer & sailor (ur a sailor by trade btw) & so r able 2 swim out 2 an island a league away just as a terrible storm strikes, & as ur riding out the storm on this island, pondering how 2 keep from starving 2 death &/or dying of thirst &/or being manhunted once the jailers discover uve gone missing, a ship is wrecked on the rocks & the sailors drown right in front of u, & then in the morning after the storm clears u see a smuggler's ship abt 2 pass by the island, so u swim out 2 last night's shipwreck, take the cap of 1 of the drowned sailors, & call out 4 the smugglers 2 rescue u, & after a harrowing near-drowning they succeed in pulling u out of the water by ur hair & u come 2 on their deck surrounded by the captain & crew & manage 2 convince them, w the aid of the cap u took from the wreck, that u were the sole survivor of the ship that wrecked last night, & when the captain is like so wut r we sposed 2 do w u now lol, ur like there is nary a port in the mediterranean i could not navigate in2 or out of w my eyes closed, & the captain's like ok lol ill believe that when i c it (rolling his eyes & making the jerkoff motion behind ur back) & ur like, ill prove it 2 u right now, & hes like, b my guest, so u take the helm & perform an impressive nautical maneuver that has everybody staring @ u in amazement, totally in awe of u 4 ur brains & ur brawn alike, & ur like (all casual, like u didnt just figuratively blow them out of the water) so just leave me in a port sumwhere & sum1 will hire me, or if u like wut u c i can just stay w u & work off the cost of the food & clothing u will provide 4 me, and that's when i remembered that edmond dantès was naked the entire time. he stripped back in prison before his escape so as to better resemble a cadaver and he's been in his birthday suit ever since. dude stole a cap from a dead sailor to sell his shipwreck survivor story and was otherwise as bare as the day he was born. he's in the process of dying of hunger and thirst and he just takes over the helm totally buck naked to pass the captain's navigation test. cap perched jauntily on his forehead, tangled hair and beard plastered to his skin, junk dangling in the breeze as he gives an impromptu demonstration of his sailing skills. imagine being a crewmember watching the drowned rat of a man you just heroically rescued from the jaws of death turn around and do this. how would you even react. who does that? like he's a better sailor than all of you combined but where are his pants. where the fuck are his pants??

#tfw u r naked & u need 2 pretend 2 b the victim of a shipwreck so u steal a cap BUT NO OTHER CLOTHING #okay so you were shipwrecked and you've been stranded all night and you somehow lost all of your clothes EXCEPT YOUR HAT? #IN WHAT WORLD IS THAT A LIKELY HAPPENSTANCE SIR #i feel like the hat would be one of the first articles of clothing to go #given how easy it was for you to find a cap bobbing around in the water BUT NOT ANY OTHER CLOTHES #BC THOSE CLOTHES WERE STILL ON THEIR BODIES #LIKE YOURS WOULD BE IF YOU WERE ACTUALLY ONE OF THE SAILORS YOU'RE PRETENDING TO BE #but whatever because the smugglers didn't question it #okay but my actual favorite part of this whole scene is when the guy who rescued him is like dude i almost didn't rescue you because #your hair and beard were so long i thought you were a brigand #and edmond is like oh this old beard? this is because i made a vow ten years ago that if god delivered me from imminent danger #i would not cut my hair or beard for ten years. and guess what! my ten years is up today! #oh yeah?????? HOW CONVENIENT #a;skdfhaldskfas edmond you fucking weirdo how are they buying this your story is so ridiculous!!! #the count of monte cristo #my posts #f #anyway i got to 'je vous rembourserai ma nourriture jusque-là et les habits que vous allez me prêter' and was like. WAIT A SECOND #DUDE IS NUDE RN #dude stole a cap and was like yeah i think that covers it. i am going to convince the shit outta these guys #and in fairness to him. he did convince them. they bought it hook line and sinker #but from a doylist perspective i'm like REALLY DUMAS? REALLY??? #that's 19e siècle lit for ya

Somethingsomething about a rat who's loved Seiya Kou since childhood somethingsomething about always loving that weird haircut if only the bangs and fringe were just a bit longer somethingsomething Audric has nothing to do with this

#I'm kidding I'll flat out admit I designed his hair after Seiya's #I've always wanted to 'fix' that haircut bc the bangs were way too short #Sailor Moon is one of my favorite series of all time lmao #Hotaru/Seiya/Usagi best characters 100/10 #i love everyone too much tho #except for you mr purple pants go get a personality

[goldenharmony]

I always try hard to like the “rival love interest” of a love triangle even if I don’t ship them with the MC, so that for rival love interests that I absolutely hate, people’s argument falls flatter of me hating them only for “shipping reasons” and not because I think their existence/romantic interest is utterly pointless 😭Cause then, you can’t accuse me of hating them just cause they get in the way of my ship because the list of hateable rival love interests is very small yet they still somehow made it on there so congrats to them for being insufferable

#seiya from 90s anime sailor moon ruining my perspective on love triangles forever #the most pointless thing ever #like they are fine in every other incarnation except the 90s anime #mostly cause im thinking of how im rlly into the one in oshi no ko despite only shipping 1 #feels like both emphasize the themes and motivate the characters #its only recently did i realize love triangles can be fun #and enhance certain stories #seiya kou #sailor moon
