It's crazy that people still uphold show!Sansa as a well-written character and pretend that liking her is the pinnacle of feminism when it would be infinitely more impactful to acknowledge her terrible and misogynistic writing. This is the same character who, while written by two men, was thankful for the abuse she suffered because it allowed her to grow. The same character who we had to be told was smart because the writers were too lazy to develop or show her intelligence. The same character who had to rely heavily on the men surrounding her and ended up accomplishing nothing on her own merit ( and no, thinking that she deserved to be Queen doesn't mean that she earned it). She is not well-written, she is not complex, and she is not a feminist character. Which is fine! If you enjoy her then good on you, but please stop pretending that she's something she isn't just because you feel the need to justify liking her character

#anti got #anti d&d #anti show sansa #anti sansa stans #like literally one of the worst written characters on that show because they tried so hard to make her the most important #while being entirely incompetent and their only method of doing so was to steal from other characters which ruined the plot #the only arguable achievement was defeating LF but even then it's written in the script that she had to go to Bran to explain things #/she rallied the Vale army!/ no she didn't 😭 she wrote a letter to LF and he did everything. instead of showing her arc in the Vale and #her learning about politics to rally them herself they took the quickest route to give her a /badass/ savior scene #which only ended up making her look selfish + power-hungry for putting her brothers' lives at risk for not telling anybody about said lette #and idiotic in the aftermath after relying once again on LF even though he was very obviously manipulating her #/pawn to player/ sounds catchy on paper but without seeing that growth/development it doesn't work #Arya was terribly written but at least we /saw/ her training in a way we never did with Sansa #and people try to apply this same logic to the books and think she's gonna suddenly spring forth as a political mastermind #when that's not how George writes...we see characters develop and make mistakes on page and get actual earned growth #feminism isn't defending the writing of two men who gave her a rape plot not in the books because they thought it was /interesting/ #when the only aspect of that plot they adapted was a woman suffering abuse :/ #and as per usual with stansas their only /evidence/ of her being well-written is accusing you of being misogynistic if you don't like her

sometimes i get really caught up thinking about how scorpia does fucking anything with her pincers (she cant use a touchscreen, surely, those things dont even work with fingers if you're wearing gloves, so scorpioni would need button phones, right? like its 2008? what about keyboards? hell, how does she write because her claw's girth seems like it would get in the way and she would need an extra long pencil to even reach the paper) and then my head hurts and i realize why she-ra isn't set in irl modern times because there's just way too much to deal with and they couldn't even figure out tracker pads really, she just kind of punched them

#scorpia had to make a phone call. no i dont know how she did it. dont ask questions #mylife #like adaptive technologies exist for people who dont have use of their hands and i dont think that even applies here #because she has giant claws where hands Would be. might was well be wearing those sock em boppers or whatever 24/7 #at one point i saw in the she-ra tag a fic with a tag like #'everyones the same species except scorpia because i dont know how she deals without hands' and like. YEAH. HOW #thats very roughly paraphrased this was probably 2 years ago i dont even know what the fic was or if i read it #but that tag. comes up in my mind a lot

Oh yeah, [show that started good but ended badly], loved that show. Shame they cancelled it after [last season/episode that was good].

Are you optimistic about season 26?

erm um… no?? ��

Season 25 and Streaming Wars had their moments, but overall the delivery of ideas felt lackluster. Much like the last 2 years, I expect a running theme. Essentially, the season won’t really be a season per se, but acts as narrative buildup interspersed with side episodes—though they will loosely connect to the season—leading up to the 2 specials airing later this year. It’s a solid game plan on paper, but s25/SW was super dodgy. I feel the saving grace was Tolkien’s renaming, and Cartman’s whole hot dog arc thing that just got set up. I know Randy was given competition (finally! the little resistance and pushback to his hijinks has done serious damage to his character) but really the biggest takeaway I’ve seen from fans/merch is stuff from Cartman’s arc. (cartitties).

However, I feel Matt and Trey have been revitalized by the concert, Casa Bonita’s opening, and their deepfake deal. It’s a double edged sword though, because now Mattrey are juggling the opening of a restaurant, production for the video game, their deepfake studio… I’m worried their attention will be divided and affect the quality of the story this season.

TLDR: Very mixed feelings, though not quite approaching cautiously optimistic… I expect the fresher ideas (HotDog) to get sidelined and Randy will remain in focus.

#south park #I’ve no doubt ​Trey will apply his patented Two Sides: Rivalry setup between Steve and Randy #and their rivalry will take up like. 60% of the plot #and Trey can be a lil shit so i’m ready for when he’ll be like ‘yeah it’s the randy show again deal with it fuckheads🤪’ #meanwhile the more interesting arc is sitting. right. there. in the bg #a buddy and I were realizing Cartman has been taking a turn these past few years and the hotdog is the culmination of that #his motivations are transparent to those closest to him (butters+ liane in s25) and he’s frustrated by his #inability to adapt #Liane’s putting her foot down so that will be VERY interesting to see how the Cartman family dynamic will evolve #and we expect the boys to start closing off Cartman for taking advantage of their kindness #idk. he’s losing his grip on liane and he needs to lose his grip on his friends. I think we’re gonna start to see the latter #I think?? Trey is taking him.. well not towards redemption but… somewhere??? #and I do wanna see stan and tolkien hang out more and maybe that’ll cement the changes in the group dynamic #or maybe it’ll only affect the bus stop openings lol idk #I do feel their friendship is delicate rn and Help My Teen was a step but there’s more re-bonding left to do #and the physical separation of them all is gonna make that a bit more difficult #it’d be nice to see a growing dynamic between Kyle and Kenny. we have! no episodes centered on their dynamic!! #they give me the impression of ‘oh we’re good buddies but only hang with a group and never outside of it’ #they’re the weakest relationship of the 4 for sure and these circumstances can remedy that! #…. watch trey do absolutely nothing with kyle and kenny except have them be reactionary :’) #asks

the epic highs and lows of trying to read an ongoing shounen manga

#for me it uh. tends to have more epic lows than epic highs. im very unlucky with shounen #occasionally a few years after something i start reading it'll turn out to be good #but any time i follow something from the beginning it starts getting. worse #is it me? am i doing this? dont tell me to read your favourite shounen i'll turn it bad #did i ever mention that one manga. the moon is beautiful but first die #a mouthful of a title. it started kinda goofy but i really adored the main character for some reason #im still a bit attached to him. he cleans so well that he got the magic power to see real good. and now he can matrix bullet time #hes just like me for reeeeeeeaaaal hflkanjvdkfljfds but yeah that manga was. weird but fun BUT THEN #it got so wack you guys you dont understand. the first like one or two volumes? fun #everything else? god knows JHKFDJFDK i still read it all tho. i was invested in my guy with seeing real good powers #and im sorry to say. unfortunately it seems. a certain manga with a big tv adaptation that is pronounced oh she no co #my curse. its started. although that ones very much a epic high and epic low situation like itll be so so wack one minute #and suddenly get good again and then plummet back down HFKJDSBHJds we will see how it goes on #i started getting annoyed with the writing after the stageplay arc because they kept like. time skipping over so much #which i thought was a bit of a waste because there was a lot of interesting potential in a lot of the showbiz storylines. but we shall see #thats not shounen tho thats seinen but my curse applies to some seinen too LOL but most seinen i read is already finished #and shoujosei is spared from my curse. i think just because most i have the opportunity to read in english just tends to not #be drawn out or have weird scheduling things messing with the pacing. are there any weekly shoujosei magazines out there #i dont think weekly manga is good. for a lot of reasons mostly the mangakas health but also i find more weekly stuff i read #that isnt like. 4koma stuff suffers in its pacing a LOT. but again that might be my curse. the second i lay my eyes on it. the curse #(sorry ive been catching up on a lot of manga recently LOL ur getting my manga thoughts now)

Diamond is Unbreakable: Episode 1 Review

Originally posted April 3rd, 2016

A solid beginning to the fourth part.

One of the most interesting things about Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is its commitment to genuine fresh starts at the beginning of every new part. Phantom Blood was a gothic horror story about vampires and family betrayal, Battle Tendency was a classic Hero’s Journey to defeat an ancient evil, Stardust Crusaders was a “bro-trip” around the world in fifty days, and Diamond is Unbreakable is a “hangout film” set in the town of Morioh with a bunch of dorky highschoolers.

These stories couldn’t be more different, and yet they’re bound together by a commitment to the absurd, the ridiculous, and the bizarre that pervades every scene. There’s not a single fight in this series that doesn’t have the tension cranked up to eleven the whole way through, and every weird, potentially off-putting moment is balanced out by the series’ constant assertion that everything happening is par for the course within the world.

Case in point, the first episode of Diamond is Unbreakable introduces us to Josuke Higashikata, a superpowered high school freshmen who gets violent if you insult his hair. Not only is this character normal for the series, he’s actually the protagonist of this part, and in the first scene we see him in he goes from a demure turtle-wrangler to a badass cloaked in shadow, all at this tiny provocation.

That’s not all there is to Josuke of course; as Jotaro Kujo, the protagonist from Stardust Crusaders, talks to him he shows an incredible amount of humility regarding his position as a lovechild bringing grief to the Joestars, and he also displays some cleverness in his fight with robber at the convenience store, using his Stand’s restorative abilities to punch through a woman safely and embed the robber’s knife into his stomach.1

The rest of the episode is focused on introducing us to Josuke’s family and the town of Morioh. His grandfather is a kind elderly cop who loves his daughter, a fiery-tempered badass whose rage clearly impacted her son. They unfortunately are also given the duty of providing exposition for Josuke, explaining who he is in ways we’ve already seen, which doesn’t make for a particularly engaging conversation.

Morioh is also introduced in fairly broad strokes as a peaceful town with a sinister secret, with one aspect of its underbelly being made clear with the introduction of a deranged criminal. This introduction pales in comparison to the opening scene of the episode, which sets a far more insidious tone by making us watch as a severed woman’s hand makes breakfast to a cheery song on the local radio. It’s a hell of an opener, and it’s guaranteed to set the tone for the rest of Part 4.

Rating: 4/5

Stray Observations

1It’s also worth noting that Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure takes a lot of cues from the horror genre, especially body horror, and I’ll be damned if it isn’t effective.

So, I’m not actually the biggest fan of subs because of how literal the translations tend to be, and that was pretty readily apparent in this episode (I watched it on CrunchyRoll; it’s totally possible that there’s a fansub out there that’s stronger). Honestly, the only reason I tend to watch subs more often is because of how weak dubs’ voice acting tends to be, even though they tend to have more figurative and colorful (and thus better) translations (which I imagine arises from a need for actors to actually read the English version of their lines).

Josuke is probably my second favorite Jojo, though I’ve yet to finish Stone Ocean, which might change my mind.

My favorite Jojos in order: Joseph, Josuke, Jolyne, Giorno, Jonathan, Jotaro.

My favorite parts in order: Battle Tendency, Diamond is Unbreakable, Phantom Blood, Vento Aureo, Stardust Crusaders. I’m not ranking Stone Ocean until I’m finished with it.

#jojo's bizarre adventure #jojo's bizzare adventure diamond is unbreakable #jjba #jjba diamond is unbreakable #jjba diu #diamond is unbreakable #diu #you know i almost forgot about this series of reviews #i do not keep them up for the whole show #but i recall writing them being an interesting challenge #when compared to the dbza reviews #both because i was writing about a text i was less familiar with #and because i was writing about a much more straightforward adaptation #and could apply most critiques of the show to the source material as well

One day, I'll get angry enough and write a whole frickin essay on why you can't judge the characters in fairy tales as characters, but this day is not today

#my post #babbling blue #fairytales #and this applies to some older adaptations as well #those that are just straight up change of the medium and not change of the story #like say #snow white #or #cinderella #of disneys #id have to rewatch sleeping beauty because im pretty sure her case is quite different #but the basis is that you cant judge them as characters #BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT CHARACTERS

Acd Sherlock Holmes AU where everything is the same, but Sherlock has a prominent Yorkshire accent.

#you're the only queue for me! #sherlock holmes #apparently it's possible he was born somewhere in Yorkshire #and now half the time I can't unthink it #the other half of the time I picture basically Jeremy Brett #acd canon #acd holmes #can apply to most adaptation as well

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round. I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world. Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment. When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3×5 card reading, “Please use this M&M for breeding purposes.” This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this “grant money.” I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion. There can be only one.

completely changing my stance on spoilers (hyperbole) because fundamentally i’m not a person that is bothered by spoilers in appropriate contexts i think & there are many flavors of spoilers that are imo permissible (respecting ofc that some ppl hate them im talking about receiving spoilers) & i think the text should stand on its own. but there are situations where people are so cavalier about deeply relevant reveals/twists/whatever, that are quite… disrespectful to the work.

like say you have this narrative where you spend the whole time thinking one thing but then something happens where it’s revealed the information you’ve been getting the whole time is wrong in some way and now that you know it, you can never go back, but having that change in perspective *and* having that initial reading (or whatever) experience was quintessential to the themes/narrative/etc (especially themes in this case). like i don’t think that should be spoiled (unless someone is like. asking. or you’re having a specific public conversation abt it and they like overhear or something but can leave. like that sucks but it’s also like. what can you do) and the act of spoiling those things just misses? doesn’t care? for the mechanical aspect of the reveal & what it does retroactively, practically, and for any future readings.

and like i get it i’m sure i’ve spoiled things like this for people by accident bc it’s not like i ever tag spoilers for stuff when im ranting to the void about whatever on here. but the specific context for this situation was advertising a book in a comments section of a post not about the book. and the recommendation itself was based on this super important reveal and it just so happened to be a book that i am in the middle of so it sucks

and i think most people are good about acknowledging/recognizing these moments. i say often “i’m not bothered by spoilers” but im also used to hearing (and saying) “i get it but this spoiler greatly impacts your experience. it’s relevant that you already have opinions on something before you learn more” or something along those lines. it’s just when it occurs to me, it always happens to be something i’m super invested in and would’ve thought was like the best twist ever ever

#personal #i’m generalizing the experience because it’s happened a few times to me lately all for situations in which the initial read through being #wrong was an important mechanic while reading #just like. i know im being really dramatic about it when i don’t need to be and also probably hypocritical (i can’t think of a specific #instance but i know for a fact im very cavalier abt revealing spoilers myself. i try to avoid this in one on one conversations but im not #perfect) #i’m literally just pissed and ranting about it. i do think as a general rule this applies to what i think but it’s difficult to put into #practice so it’s like. i need to adapt it i suppose #and it’s just worse bc like. i read the comment and im like ‘well shit that maybe ruins that for me which would probably be my favorite #aspect of the book’ and turned off my phone and left it for a while. (this was my fatal mistake) #and then i go later to open my phone and someone is like ‘oh yeah i was shocked when that happened. here is the specific line btw’ and bc #i’m in the middle of the book i have enough context to understand exactly what’s going to happen #like that’s my fault for not closing out the app but like how could i know and it’s like i’m mad but at who #and it is a situation where commenting ‘spoilers for book’ would be the same as saying the spoiler itself so really i just shouldn’t have #read the comments. but am i supposed to just not do anything for as long as it takes me to read the book?? that’s completely impractical #which is why i’m so cavalier about spoilers overall bc i think the text should stand on its own even when stuff like this accidentally #happens. but if the text relies on the mechanic of ignorance and later reveal i think that’s impressive not bad #AGHHHH it’s complicated and i’m mad… #this is how i feel about the ******** remake too. taking out the reveal (paraphrasing) is… ruining the #narrative is too hardcore but is what i think #see i almost did it myself :( #and yk what it’s also about **************

What I think of Lilith through the houses

Both polarities blended together, Enjoy!
