There was more emotion in this scene, where Kagome was separated from Inuyasha for like a week...

...than there was in the latest yashahime episode where they saw their daughter for the first time IN FOURTEEN YEARS AFTER BEING FORCED TO GIVE HER AWAY FOR HER OWN SAFETY. Like... What is this bullsh*t??

I get that they're happy she's alive and had a chance to grow up, but not even any real tears? No attempt to catch her? The amount of times that Inuyasha has caught or picked up Kagome to bring her to safety and you're telling me he isn't going to do that for his own daughter? Okay.

Also they didn't even look that surprised. Have they been watching her somehow? Maybe time moves differently there and that's why they haven't aged and don't seem that distraught over not seeing their daughter (or any other loved ones) for over a decade.

Everything about Yashahime RUINED so many characters. All for ~°•*plot*•°~ 🙄 it's like they didn't even pay attention to the original story. Like, OG anime/manga watchers/readers went through so much just for there to be peace at the end, and these reboots destroy that for the sake of making a profit "compelling" story. It's uncool, lazy writing. Fuck off, Sunrise.

I get that Sasuke's saying "Naruto" here, but without the audio or subtitles I'm going to imagine he's actually saying "Sakura" instead (you can kind of see his lips move as though he's saying sa-ku-ra toward the end). Ya know, since we were teased with a sasusaku scene this week and literally got the .3 seconds that was in the trailer from last week 🙃

Sasuke?!!  Don’t you die…Naruto… - Boruto: Naruto Next Generation - Episode 204

The Hound says, “You want to be like me? You want to live your life like me?”

In my head, the answer was: “Yeah.”

As a woman in Game of Thrones you have options.

You can be a caring mother and wife. Like Catelyn Stark, Ellaria Sand and Olenna Tyrell.

You can be a woman in power and a commander of men. Like Daenerys Targaryen, Cersei Lannister and Sansa Stark.

You can be a warrior and an adventurer. Like Arya Stark, Yara Greyjoy, Lyanna Mormont and Brienne of Tarth.

You can be innocent and kind to people. Like Myrcella Baratheon, Missandei of Narth and Margaery Tyrell.

But there’s an ‘or’ between them. You can be a mother and a wife OR you can be a warrior OR you can be in power OR you can be innocent and kind.

Arya Stark is only an assassin.

Not a wife, not a mother, not a friend, not a sister.

Brienne of Tarth is only a knight.

Not in love, not a Lady.

Yara Greyjoy is only an adventurer.

Not a Queen on a throne of salt.

Sansa Stark is only in power.

Not part of a pack, not a wife or a mother.

________________________________________

You can only be one because, according to David and Dan, women can’t be more. And the women who tried to be more? They died trying.

It’s been two weeks & I’m still salty about Game of Thrones.

I’m still mad that so many characters were ooc and that a lot of story lines seemed to be taken from one character and re purposed for another, like they gave BoatBaby to Gilly & Sam, Arya got Jon’s big Night King moment, and I think everyone can agree that the Jonerys Throne room scene was obviously supposed to be the Valonqar scene. It just baffles me that if you have to take storylines that are so obviously meant for other characters - that the audience can SEE that they were meant for other people - in order for your contrived ending to make sense, then you’re not a good writer or storyteller. 

That doesn’t even take into account all the story lines and plot points that either just didn’t make sense in general or led to absolutely nothing. And I don’t even mean the big ones like R+L=J or The Prince That Was Promised or BoatBay/Targ Restoration or The Long Night. I just mean the little things like what purpose did Jon bonding with Rheagal have if his death wasn’t going to affect him any, why have Dany say she would be chill living by a waterfall for a thousand years then turn around and make her power hungry?, what’s up with “Jon’s the rightful heir but when it comes time to pick a new King, we won’t even consider him??”, what happened to the little girl who was going to protect the crypts, why did Cersei suddenly forget that she wanted both of her brothers dead, Gendrya [I love them but it literally led to NOTHING in the end - same with Braime], why was the talk of a Jonerys marriage suddenly dropped and NEVER mentioned again even though it would have been the most logical step for everyone, why was Varys so openly plotting against Dany, what was the deal with the rings and the little girl, Arya’s horse from episode 5?!, the Unsullied & Dothraki magically coming back to life!, the Golden Company, Bronn, Euron, why mention a new Prince of Dorne??, whats the deal with Northern Independence when you have a Northern King [and a side note what happened to “Stark men don’t do well in the South” but let’s let Bran be King?!], that council,  and literally 90% of that final episode not making any sense at all and have zero build up or payoff. And I know there are so many more I just haven’t mentioned. 

And DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED on D&D and the Game of Thrones accounts literally going radio silent after the finale. It took the Game of Thrones Instagram account a week to even post about the final episode, we got no after the episode or game revealed videos, D&D refuse to address the episode or backlash, and we still haven’t gotten a Beautiful Death poster for the finale and IT’S THE LEAST THEY COULD FREAKING DO FOR DAENERYS after they ruined her character development with their contrived plot. 

And I’m not even going to get into how all of this awfulness has affected the cast. Nope. They deserved a better season just as much as the fans and characters did. 

TL;DR

So basically my thoughts are this: 

I’m still pissed. All of the characters and storylines deserved better. Don’t set up something if you’re not going to pay it off and vice versa don’t say something is foreshadowing when it’s not. It’s not the actors faults that this season wasn’t good - they did great with what they were given. Fans have a right to be angry that things fell short or made no sense just for sUbVeRsIoN. 

And lastly, if you’re a writer/showrunner/company and you KNOW that what you’ve created is going to be divisive, don’t be a coward and hide from it, have the guts to face it and stand up for what you’ve done - even if that means facing backlash. You knew what you were doing when you wrote the season and approved it, don’t make your cast & crew try to defend the criticism while you hide away and get to move on to a galaxy far far away.

Final Gendrya

Can I just request that when all is said and done, Arya will try to sneak away in the early hours, but Gendry will catch her and have the same attitude when Davos came to him?

“I’m ready, let’s go”

And she will tell him he has to stay, because he is legitimized now, will marry a lady who will have his children, and he must rule his fathers lands…

And he will just say… “that’s not me.”

Then they can go West of Westeros together?
