Middle aged men on instructional sites are probably my favourite people on the internet

#i love the OP too #he's a retired fella whose instructables range from fairy houses to concrete man cave signs #there is a particular expressive style of social media use i see in older people that is literally my favourite #craft tag

when you watched a anime back when you were young (and it was still aired on tv) and now you try to see where the fandom is but the fandom is just you and some dead fanfic authors you found in ao3 that haven't uploaded for years.

#yumeiro patissiere #mirumo de pon #no fr i remember liking this shows but i forgot their names already but i loved it #anime #i really liked the fairies in yumeiro - i liked the black haired one and johnny the american boy #i rlly like the dance in mirumo de pon #hello fandom I don't know about bcuz i was too young to consume media back then

the end of wyll's quest is....interesting. it was VERY cool. I thought having the archetypal fairy tale prince go "slay the dragon" was a fitting ending, I just feel like it was....a little underwhelming in some ways.

more under cut

first and foremost- I wish that it was not possible for your tav/durge to converse with ansur. I wish that it automatically selected wyll, because I simply do not think that this entire scene has as much impact if it is not wyll at the forefront of everything. which is why I also have to complain about the emperor here.

the reveal that he is balduran is.... well. I knew about this already, through accidental spoilers. Initially, I thought it was a stupid reveal. but reframing the reveal in the context of a fairy tale...well it makes perfect sense. it just FEELS a bit underwhelming and strange, because your player character is not wyll. this entire area feels like it was written with an avatar wyll in mind. and I wish that there were changes made to the companion wyll version of the game that made up for this. wyll is a character who is hugely tied to the main plot by virtue of being the duke's son. he spends the game searching for his father, while trying to deal with both mizora and the absolute. mizora is the one he sold his soul to to save the city before, the reason he was cast out. the absolute wants to destroy and steal his city. and ansur, a legendary dragon, might be his way of saving the city and getting his father's approval back. ansur had wanted to kill balduran because balduran had been infected with a mindflayer parasite, but had embraced his illithid nature rather than rejected it. I feel like there's some parallel that can be made to wyll there. in that he was othered, like balduran was, because he accepted mizora's help. ansur condemned balduran because ansur is a bronze dragon and therefore lawful good. wyll's father exiles wyll because wyll was "at best a fool, at worst a traitor," in his father's eyes and his father tolerated neither. wyll & balduran are both victims of the inflexible nature those of lawful good alignments have. they are both seen as monsters for what happened to their bodies. I wish that was emphasised a little more. like autoselecting wyll for the ansur dialogue & giving him dialogue with the emperor would have made this ending feel a little more complete, in my opinion. and it would have better demonstrated the point of having the emperor even be balduran. because that's such a fairy tale thing, the stuff of real legend! for the hero's mysterious guide to actually be some great old hero thought to be long dead. and I do think it works. it just doesn't feel as impactful if wyll is not your avatar.

I also wish this area was overall bigger & more developed. I know they redid wyll's character from EA. I know they had less time. I just. I wish that this area was as detailed as the sharran temple in act 2. it feels like SUCH a big deal, it feels like it should be bigger. especially since at lvl 12, you're just. unkillable.

but the dialogue afterwards, where he says he's in the mood for celebration and wants to make a celebratory dinner? SO CUTE!!! that man's joy is contagious!!! I could practically feel him holding back how much he just wanted to jump around with joy. and the sweet little "let's hope gale won't be too upset that I'm cooking for once and not him." I love you. you are too fucking sweet wyll. this fucking city does not deserve you. this playerbase does not deserve you. you are a true gem and I wish people saw you are just as beautiful and interesting as astarion and gale.

a cool possible scene they could add, to given wyll's questline more material IS that dinner he talks about. or preparation for it! something where he asks tav/durge to taste the food beforehand? or where your avatar can ask him about where he learned to cook, prompting him to talk about his time as the blade of frontiers? out in the sword coast on his own? this scene could easily be platonic or romantic, but be given extra options for a romantic relationship. but something like this could truly be added at an earlier point in the game too, it doesn't have to be tied to this particular moment.

but overall really cool area of the game. very cool bossfight. and a rather clever ending to wyll's quest, contrary to what his haters say. I love the commitment to the fairy tale theme. it just needs a bit more. maybe it feels more satisfying if you've romanced him. although I've heard his act 3 romance scene is currently bugged? his unromanced questline is slightly bugged (doesn't rob you of any material, though, it just replayed some dialogue for me). either way, I hope that gets fixed asap. I so badly need to experience this romanced version in my other campaign.

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #thoughts about media #tldr opinion: it's conceptually an ingenious way of utilising the fairy tale prince trope but its execution is a bit clumsy. #beautiful character though. wow. people seriously do not give this man enough love and appreciation. #also I was expecting the emperor to be worse. people were shitting on him HARD for the reveal. and like. #man he was actually pretty justified in ultimately killing ansur. #ansur was going to kill him because he has that lawful good brain rot that says illithids cannot be anything but monsters. #which is the same argument made against wyll for being part devil. and against astarion for being undead. #the way this game tackles monstrosity and what truly constitutes a monster is very interesting. #and I think it's really cool the way they took ansur's “heroic lawful good” alignment and turned it into a form of evil. #and had wyll- a victim of that same kind of cruel inflexible sense of “justice” be ansur's second slayer. #oh and shart? jaheira said it better.

I forgot that ni hao kai lan really is just chinese dora. Whatever she’s cute and I love her and I love all her little animal friends and I love dora so that just makes me like it more

#i LOVED dora as a kid I was obsessed with her #it was dora then hello kitty then mlp. those were my big childhood phases #and then I moved here and I became a book nerd #and also had a massive mythical creature phase. mostly mermaids and unicorns #dragons and fairies were short lived but prevalent #after book nerd was anime phase one then stranger things and it MASSIVE fixation #then queer media and western cartoons #then quarantine hit and I fell back into anime #specifically fixated on Yamaguchi from haikyuu #and now I’m more in my rhythm game era #edit somewhere in between Yamaguchi and games is my avatar and sk8 eras. btw

I remember when he had these gorgeous, creative posters as countdown for the drama, having little to no knowledge how these images would weigh heavily on the show as a whole. I wish I could erase this drama from my head so I could watch it again like the first time.

God I just feel so fucking angry.

I’m in a lot of fandoms, and every one, every single one, is sexist. Every piece of media I consume, every show, book, movie—it’s sexist.

I like some more than others—Fairy Tail gives all but one grown woman huge chests, and deliberately makes her insecure about it; Wendy and Chelia are a little weird as the 12-year-old girl trope in anime; Lucy almost always fights female antagonists—and I love those shows, I do. I adore them. I watch and rewatch and I love the stories, up until certain days when I just can’t take it.

I hate having to settle. I hate that, when I talk about Fairy Tail, it feels like I’m justifying the sexism with “oh, it’s not too bad.” I have to compare it. MHA is worse, obviously; fewer female characters, fewer female powerhouses. But with Fairy Tail I still have to settle.

There are many main powerful female characters, yes. But the male-female ratio is obvious. The Oracion Seis only has one woman, and she’s mostly there to parallel Lucy. Phantom Lord had only one woman. Grimoire Heart has only one woman and a teenage girl.

There’s only one female dragon slayer (not including Irene), and she’s twelve. I could go into her and Chelia’s and Mavis’ (and honestly Meldy’s) whole thing as the young, innocent girl tropes all over anime but I don’t want to-

Female powerhouses? Erza, Ultear (antagonist), Minerva (antagonist)…??? Juvia??? Cana? Mavis (dead)?

I wouldn’t count Sorano and Yukino in the powerhouse section. I might count Lucy, but given how much time she spends in the earlier seasons needing to be rescued it’s a little weak.

But male powerhouses? Natsu, Gray, Makarov, rock guy, Laxus, Jellal, Gajeel, Hades, Acnologia, Zeref, fire god guy, lightning god guy, memory guy, I really should’ve rewatched the show before making this post,

My point is—it’s an obvious gap. And yet I view fairy tail as one of the most gender balanced anime. It feels so much better.

A big part of that is their characters. Every female character is treated with the same dignity as the male characters. No matter how sexualized they may be, they are people. They each have backstories as deep as the men.

And I am so so angry that that’s a factor here. I want to be properly pissed about how they treat Lucy, I want to get mad at the unrealistically big boobs—but fairy tail is comparatively such a good show for gender equality.

I don’t know what the point to this was. I’m just upset.

#fairy tail #sexism #sexism in media #sexism in anime #anime sexism #I really do love fairy tail so much #there’s so much I adore about it #but so much I hate too #and I hate that I look past those things so easily #I’m just. pissed rn. #okay but about Lucy I genuinely love how she actively wants to dress the way she does #like sure Mashima puts her in sexy outfits and stuff #but it’s a part of her character #she WANTS to dress like that she WANTS to be promiscuous #and erza does too!! she’s not so revealing but she’s #I guess sex-positive is the word #them dressing how they want and being so unashamed about it is so refreshing #you don’t see that much #there’s so much to praise fairy tail for #the reason I don’t get mad so much about sexism in fairy tail is because Mashima very clearly sees his female characters as PEOPLE #and it’s such a low bar #something something bare minimum #but I really appreciate it

so funny how my entire early teens was just me getting secretly obsessed with otherwise boring or embarassing pieces of media because I just had the most massive crushes on some actress in them

#i was also obsessed with those fairy tree ornaments that are just beautiful women #from like a YOUNG young agee #wheras the only man in media i had a crush on was luke skywalker :( #anyway i say this because disney plus has given me the ability to watch wizards of waverly place but i have no desire to #but i LOVED IT aged like 14 #why #because of selena gomez ok #i would just stare at her face #im sharing a lot today lol sorry #i will go back to black holes posting tomorrow

haters: Lucy is useless

Lucy: repeatedly keeps the stronger characters from dying, solves complicated problems, rewrites the book of END, can use multiple rare spells, is recognized by the celestial king--

#listen #i love lucy #i will not accept any hate against her #lucy heartfilia #fairy tail #she's a bamf in her own way #people who judge characters based on their physical strength alone are unfit to consume media #i said what i said

[piplupod]

sometimes i forget that phrases I've taken to saying aren't from any media and are just things real people in my life have said to me or within earshot of me, and if i try to reference those phrases its not going to make sense to anybody except me

#the one I've been thinking abt a lot lately is this old guy from my accordion classes a few yrs ago #we were talking about tiny tim and he said ''he was a little bit fairy wasnt he'' #this old man is like... OLD. so thats the derogatory term at the time to refer to gay ppl #but every now and then i get dressed in a fun outfit or see a certain blorbo (from media or an OC of mine) and think that to myself 😭😭 #and i keep Almost saying it with a couple specific friends who i know won't be offended or anything by my using the word #and then remembering literally no one will know im referencing smth and theyll think im just slinging around 1950s homophobic slang LMFAO #YKNOW WHATS FUNNY THOUGH. AWFUL TOO. I've been called that myself a couple times ??? like. who tf is still using that slang these days ??? #apparently some homophobes!! #insane fhdksl like. hi. can i help you. are u trying to be clever w ur homophobia. I'd love if u could stfu tbh #pippen needs 2nd breakfast
