Season 3 ending

So... It's been almost a week since the last episode, almost a week trying to wrap my head around the end of the show, trying to manage my feelings about it all.

It's hard to end up feeling the complete opposite of nearly everyone on my dash but I've come to terms with the fact that I didn't love the ending. I didn't love this last episode. (I shouldn't feel ashamed or weird for saying so but you guys loved it so much that I feel a bit like an outsider right now 😓)

I haven't been a fan of the show for as long as most of you, but it means so much to me. These characters carved a place in my heart and in my head, and they've made me happy for months now. They helped me get through some stuff, made me discover some amazing artists, meet even more amazing people through this fandom. And I loved the story. Even in its darkest, saddest parts, I loved it. I was invested.

I love Wilhelm and Simon, together and separately. They mean so much to me. And I loved season 1 and 2. It made me happy, and sad, and frustrated, and exalted. But overall, I trusted the show and I was not disappointed.

Season 3 was a lot. I liked the first 5 episodes. I can't say that I loved everything about them: I was not expecting things to get so hard for Simon, with no reprieve in sight. I was not worried about Wilmon being endgame (I know it was a big stress for the fandom but honestly I never doubted that they were endgame), but I was wondering how the show would go about tying all the knots it made (I should even say all the knots it added during this last season).

(Under a read more because it's a bit long and I don't want to bother those who don't wanna read more of my frustrated thoughts ^^')

And unfortunately the last episode was a huge let down for me. Yes, it's partly because nothing I was hoping for actually happened, but mostly, it's because the choices they made did not feel very satisfying to me: ⁕ Simon was barely there. We went from him being bullied online/offline non stop for 5 episodes to almost nothing. It makes 0 sense to me. ⁕ Kristina suddenly feeling better: she was having break down upon break down for an entire season, could barely look at her son or even just talk normally and all of a sudden she's back, smiling and agreeing to everything Wilhelm says? I'm sorry but I don't buy it? Where did this Kristina hid during the entire show? ⁕ Wilhelm deciding to not be king, talking for 3min to his parents about it, them agreeing and him running into the sunset with Simon. I'm sorry, what?? I love that they end up together of course, but it makes very little sense to me? It won't change any of the issues they had this season? They're still gonna be famous? And bullied online/offline? (Probably even more so now?). I'm not obviously saying that Wilhelm staying in line to become king was the only or the best solution, but I wanted more from this storyline. I wanted to believe it. And right now, what we got? It feels a bit cheap (and I feel bad for saying that because the ending was cute and romantic and all, but it felt too disconnected from the rest of the show for me ><)

And apart from these few points, the big issue I had with this episode was: The Angst. So that might be a me-problem, but it was too much for my poor little heart (I haven't rewatched the episode yet, and I'm not sure I'll be able to anytime soon ><). I spent like 40min of the episode with a huge knot in the stomach because the heartbreak between Simon and Wilhelm was too much to handle for me. I can see how it was beautifully made, that having lots of throwbacks to the previous seasons, the Wille song, all of that was great cinematography. But it was just too much for me. I got in the season spoiler-free but for this episode? During the lake scene I had to take a break and check online if they were actually endgame because it was starting to actually give me a stomachache. So yeah, this part might be me being too sensitive but I did not like that they made me see them fight for each other for 2 seasons and 5 episodes, but then just giving up for 40min before finally running back to each other during the last 10min. It was just too much sadness for me ><

So yeah, maybe my expectations were too high? But I feel sad, and kinda cheated. Too many things are left wide opened. Too many things make zero sense to me. And of course I'm happy we got our Wilmon endgame, but I'm less happy about how it happened.

It's a bit hard being on Tumblr right now and seeing everyone who thought it was the perfect episode >< And I don't want to "yuck anyone's yum" (as the saying goes), but I still wanna be able to share my thoughts! I probably won't write super angry/unhappy/complaining posts about the season/the finale, but I still wanna be able to chat about it. I did see some posts on my dash from people not being entirely satisfied with this ending so it's a bit comforting. And I hope we can share some nice headcanons, or just discussions about different plot points.

But yeah, I guess that's why I haven't really been active this week! Trying to get over the double heartbreak of the end of the show + being disappointed with the ending! I'm gonna come back though! I miss hanging out here, I just need to strengthen my heart a little bit more :p Gonna get back to writing about my thoughts episode by episode for this season (I can't promise I can rewatch the last one though 😖 It might take me a bit of time to get there). And I want to continue my song analysis of the show!! I'm not even done with season 2 yet, I have some work to do there ^^

So see you back here very soon 😘

any other aromantics get extremely attached to close fictional friendships (especially if they are clearly important for the characters' growth or the story) and get very defensive when people view them as romantic or is it just me?

[wherevenusholdssomeofficespace]

About Sara being the Murphy kid without Murphy's law. I think we could all talk all day on how Milo deals with Murphy's Law. How that effects him. I mean that is what the show is about. But, in a show that takes care in the statement that everyone should help shoulder Milo (and Orgaluth's) burdens as best they can, how DOES someone whose spent their whole life doing just that, do that?

We're introduced to Sara as a Doctor Zone fan, in an episode about how she handle's Murphy's Law. Where she is obsessively preparing for the inevitable Murphy's law, trying to prevent this thing being ruined for her, but ultimately makes it very clear that she cares more about including Milo than she does anything else. We do later see her taking measures against dealing with Murphy's Law by avoiding Milo and Martin when it comes to things. Her and Brigette both loving Milo and Martin, but taking every opportunity that they are gone to try and get stuff done. And they do enjoy their absences. In other words: they're accustomed to Murphy's Law, just as appreciative of the chaos it bring to their lives (train through their backyard). But also, they actually know what its like not to have constant disasters, and so can indulge in more fragile activities… and then be concerned about those activities getting messed up.

I think Sara's perception of Milo in the episode "Milo's World" says a lot too. She just sees him as a person. Unlike everyone else, Milo was not the first Murphy she ever met. That would almost certainly be her father, and she probably knew her grandfather, uncle and cousin before Milo came around. By the time Milo was born, Sara clearly already had an understanding that "stuff goes wrong around dad", which certainly lead into her later "keep fragile stuff away from dad and Milo". And was already handling disasters calmly and offering assistance to her family. (At the very least, She already knew how to call 911). By all accounts while throughout their lives Milo has certainly handled Murphy's Law more, and is definitely the expert, no doubt about it, Sara's handled it longer. Murphy's Law had been in her life longer than Milo has. She sees it not as a Milo quirk, but as a family quirk. Her dad and Milo have the same condition. But they aren't the same people. They don't handle it the same way. To everyone else, Murphy's Law is synonymous with Milo. To Sara, Milo comes with Murphy's Law, but the two aren't the same.

And I think this also contributes to her sort of blase attitude about things happening to Milo. She trusts him. She doesn't baby him. She's not overprotective as you might expect an older sister to someone who is the target of a lot of people's vitriol, or gets hurt a lot to be in a show like this. But she builds him up. I think the one time we see Milo struggling with something (shoelaces) what she says is "you just have to try". She calls him "wizardy" in regards to his skills. But she's not immune to concern for him, as when she realizes he does not have his backpack. I'd say her attitude is born of a mix of her genuinely knowing Milo's capabilities, that other people with Murphy's Law can take care of themselves just fine, she's dealt with it herself (to a smaller extent) and been just fine, and having parents who you know. Parent and support Milo themselves. He's not really her responsibility. Though we don't see it, this isn't to say she's incapable of stepping up if needed, just that in show, we never see her need to.

I've spoken before about her an Milo's relationship, but ultimately its significant for how normal it is despite their extraordinary childhood. Her establishing moment isn't something with Murphy's Law, it's her and Milo getting excited together about something they both like. They tease each other ("I'm behind backpack?"). They hype each other up ("You're Wizardy" "It runs in the family" or Sara supporting Milo when he was doubting himself for getting the family together). Sara tried teaching Milo to tie his shoes, and Milo's shared his ice cream with her. A normal, non-antagonistic sibling relationship.

Melissa and Zack are along for the ride. But the state of being "on" or "off" the ride bleed into each other for Sara. As we can see Murphy's Law sometimes effects people who aren't nearby, and the Murphy's house (and Sara and Brigette) are its biggest secondary victims. (Toboggan of Love specifically). Sara will join Milo without a second thought (unlike say Melissa whose been shown to skip Murphy's Law related shenanigans for a bit of peace). Not to say Sara never avoids it due to that, but Sara never lies or avoids saying as much to Milo's face while Melissa will be misleading or lie about what she's actually doing. And when Melissa's frequency of shenanigans when away from Milo is still less than Sara's when away from Milo (though not non-existent... it's still Danville).

But, when Sara ISN'T trying to prevent something important to her from going wrong, she's consistently some of the better backup Milo could ask for. (She got him an extra comic, she doesn't even flinch when learning that something has gone wrong. She's accustomed to Murphy's Law in a way that even Melissa isn't quite). Really, Melissa and Sara I think take up complementary roles in Milo's life. Sara has been with him throughout his home life, and Melissa's always been there at school. As Milo's grown, he's probably just spent more and more time hanging out with Melissa, and less time at home. It's just part of growing up.

She has a skewed idea of what is worth freaking out over. She reacts to (what others perceive) as high danger, or extremely inconvenient situations with an almost boredom (Dr. Zone Files, Family Vacation, A Christmas Peril, need I go on). But freaks out a lot over things that she sees as important getting ruined. (Dr. Zone files, We're going to the Zoo, Toboggan of Love). Usually doctor Zone related. She knows that getting lost or buildings and delays can be fixed and sees them as part of life. They're somewhat expected, planned for and are easily fixed (at least on her end). But ruining rare merchandise or giving a bad impression on a first date are unfix-able, and she reacts accordingly. Though never seems to hold it against Milo if the worst comes to pass and it usually works out just fine anyway.

Her third appearance emphasizes just how obsessed she is with Dr. Zone. She found something important to her, lost something important to her (respect of other fans), but was satisfied with being right the whole time, which seems to be what is really important to her. The knowledge of the thing itself, not (so much) the community. After all she has Milo. The episode also features a gag about them forgetting Sara.

I don't really think this means Sara is less loved. It's probably the fact that Milo due to his condition (and being the younger child) usually requires a little more consideration than Sara (only natural), but that even emotionally Milo himself is a little less emotionally independent, often engaging with his parents and their interests while Sara is much more independent, often caught up in her own thing. It's just as much Sara forgetting to communicate with her parents as it is their parents forgetting her. Sara wasn't there to be picked up because she was busy with her Dr. Zone drama, and Milo WAS there WITH guests. And unlike Milo and his friends who ARE more dependent on their parents for things like transportation, Sara usually drives herself places and just… does her own thing. I don't think its favoritism by any means. Some kids are just needier than others. Sara doesn't seem upset with her family, understands her brothers needs are a little more intense than her own and is also just has a fairly independent personality. Also she's just older. As such, it's only natural when Sara's not really engaging with the family herself, it's natural to forget that she came along. After all, Milo and his friends ALSO forgot her and she was TECHNICALLY left at the farm with them. Not that Sara isn't close to her family, aside from Milo she's shown to be able to go for her mom for help and we know she does spend some one on one time with her dad (and he introduced her to Dr. Zone). It's just she's an older teen with very insular interests and a very intensely focused personality. While I think you could make the argument that her parents focus on Milo contributed to her independent personality, it's really a chicken or egg question. Life is just like that sometimes.

I think Sara perceives herself and Milo as normal kids. She's dealt with a lot of second hand Murphy's law, to her annoyance and appreciations. It informs how she interacts with her family, how she prepares, when she enjoys time away from them, and what kind of nice things she does for them. Her relationship with Milo isn't unlike other older siblings with a significantly younger one, just perhaps more pronounced due to Murphy's Law. It also informs how she reacts normally (in what little we see of her life without Milo). Sara is someone passionate, creative, capable of leadership and inspiration. And due to her childhood, she is someone who may over-prepare and worry excessively about certain things, but who ultimately takes catastrophe in stride.

Sometimes I imagine yttd winx AU because each time someone is sacrificing themselves they don't die. They get enchantix and beat their enemies up.

Oh, Miley, you wanted to twist the knife when Sara grieves? Well, Joe is not dead for long. He's getting reincarnated, his spilled blood is now fairy dust that will dispell your strongest magic

Oh, Gashu, you wanted to kill Nao so badly? Did you really think metal press would do her in? It's her beautiful corset now and she's going straight for you

Oh, Midori, you think Sara's incapable of sacrifice, so she's never getting enchantix aka Bloom? Guess again, she saved Gin/Keiji/Joe/whoever she likes. With that power you're going down

And like this everyone obtains enchantix. And defeats Asunaro. Happy end

#your turn to die #joe tazuna #nao egokoro #sara chidouin #It could be interesting AU. Some absolutely unorganized ideas: #All original participants are connected by Asunaro mark (akin to Valtor's mark) and have to fight for survival #But once someone dies their power goes to all other people. Thus the last one standing has immense power #But there's transformation “Asunarix” when they become who they wanted to be. It's them going back to life #with some details showing their sacrifice wasn't easy. For example Kanna's covered in roses and thorns. Or Q-taro's clothes have fire desig #Some people are students (both fairies and witches) some are professors. Alice is prisoner in that one monastery #Dummies are like pixies with their red string of fate but they can be reincarnated if they kill their partner #There's super accurate prophecy about percentages #Sara can become her ultimate self like Bloom “became” dark in season 2 #Maybe one day I'll think about this AU more thoughtfully because right now my ideas are contradictory #I wish there was some fanart of such crossover

sara tends to be active at night

#oc: kisaragi🌙 #sleepy art #their internal clock is actually a few hours later than the usual person #if the average person woke up naturally at 7ish for example. they'd wake at 11 #and they are very much a night owl. can easily stay awake until 4 am #as of late they've been sleeping more early and peacefully because they got girlfriends to help buuuuut they've had it too good. #there hasn't been a lot of sara angst lately. that will change. i need them to be sad

how is ayato treated as the more important sibling when hes the regular butt of everyone's joke daily? ayaka gets wayyy better treatment than him

Ayato is the more common fan favorite of a sibling - regardless if he's the butt of any jokes, EVERYTHING in the Inazuman archon quests were of Ayaka's doing yet I constantly see her side stepped and Ayato treated as if he holds far more power than her being the technical head of the household, despite both of them being important political figures both with their own influences. Every other character in this game is the butt of some sort of joke but the bottom line was that I see immense dick riding and glorification of his existence, when his story quest was boiled down to being about everybody but him and he had genuine zero purpose in the general story aside from being the leader of the Shuumatsuban, which is a role Ayaka just as well could fufil. The point is I see far more Ayato fans and glorification, when the most I see of Ayaka nine times out of ten is either gross Aether harem content, or forehead jokes.

As to Ayaka's characterization I cannot fucking comprehend how. Wrong, that feels? Never once does she say "why won't people be my friends :(" she says that she understands her position of power and idolization is an important one and an isolating one where she HAS relationships but she feels nothing can be a REAL friendship like any other person could have because it will ALWAYS boil down to her status as a political figure, and she desperately wanted to befriend the traveler because they were the one person as an outlander she could be a real friend with and not connect it back to her status. She understands why she cannot have many friends and it is a sorrow she internalizes and wishes to share with the ONE person who she can.

Hey you know who else is a male character who understand and laments that they have near zero personal relationships disconnected to their status, role, or inherent life burden, that lament about this to the Traveler and consider them their only true friend they could ever confide in due to the nature of Traveler's existence, and would drop anything and everything to the Traveler's whim because they value them so much?

Xiao.

There's no male character that goes "w-w-w-w-w-why is nobody my friend :(" and neither is there a female one, because Ayaka does not ask why she has no friends, she's fucking lonely because she understands she cannot have many. I want to be really mean nonnie but I just. It feels a bit like you're proving the point of the whole post - which was Ayaka, along with these other two, being boiled down to underappreciated mischaracterizations when the men who play similar or lesser roles are far more glorified.

#genshin impact #kamisato ayaka #i feel a little aggressive here and i am. probably sorry for that #but also this - like i feel like it goes a long way to prove my point #what butt of a joke is ayato when you in front of me just boiled ayaka down to a joke as if it was a point prover #the most i can think of are old glitches that happened in game which ALOT of characters have their fair share of #even his story quest or his relationship with thoma don't feel apt #they're both far analyzed and glorified and talked about OFTEN #idk maybe im a little bit of a bitch #sorry nonnie #also like fucking #what does your opinion of ayaka have to do with it #what does your perception of “a loser” matter to her signifgance #I don't enjoy characters who are relevant but that doesn't effect the fact that they are and are undervalued as those core pieces #example; kujou sara #i also highly don't count her creepy aether harem mischaracterization as “treated better” than ayato

help, we just finished the adhd and autism chapters on my kids and teens' psychopathology course and i am about to send my professor an audhd character recommendation, who is going to be, you guessed it, sara from young royals, because frida is an autistic person (+ she has adhd, i think???), and neurodivergent people have judged this positively, so i am trying to make him add more women fictional characters played by actual neurodivergent people to his list of white men tv-show and movie characters being portrayed as a stereotype by neurotypical actors-

i was going to tell him about alex (claremont-diaz, i mean) too, but he says he doesn't read fiction, so.

i need to remind my autonomic nervous system i am not fighting a giant bear, i am sending a freaking innocent e-mail. stop beating this fast, heart. he isn't going to judge you-

#just imagine #he watches young royals. #and asks who the girl who sent him the email was #and i'll have to raise my hand #. #and explain all the lore to him because he loves asking questions about pieces of media portaying neurodivergent characters/with mental- #-illness etc. because. well. he is a psychologist. that's his job #anyway #anyway! #(of course i didn't talk in class when he was giving us the example of sheldon from bing bang theory to understand what he was saying in- #-theory better because i am an anxious mess) #(also about bbt... i am sorry if you like it. i mean jim parsons is a good actor but. it's a no from me. i can't with all the misogyny/- #-homophobia/+transphobia/racism. and i've only watched video essays on these issues. jesus.) #young royals #i guess #sara eriksson #frida argento #sorry agcd #update one day later: #professor says he'll check yr out. help.

I do agree with Bia that anyone can draw if they just practice. But also, it really DOES take time.

I mean, I still change with my art. Something I drew just a month ago I can think look ugly now. And it took me literally 6 or so years to even FIND an artstyle I found nice to draw.

#sara gives bia a second chance #the key is to at first start to draw your favorite cartoon characters #and from there start drawing your own versions of them #and then from there make ocs #i don't know if I should ever make a 'how to draw' I mean if you give me a prompt I can try drawing it #but I have my weaknesses too I for example CANNOT draw animals. humans only lol

I forgot to mention it on here, but I made a character analysis/headcanon blog that I update more frequently than here. The thoughts I have on there are more casual and less thought out. So if you're bored and would like near daily Genshin ramblings, feel free to follow me on @andersdotters.

#about me #i do reply to analysis asks here but those posts are more formatted and stylized #on there it's just me talking out of my ass lol #think similar to my tagspeak #i also will post about random lore findings because i tend to do dumb amounts of research #for example did you know that kuki shinobu can fight on equal terms with sara? #therefore she can potentially beat both tomo and itto #i didn't post that on andersdotters but yeah i thought it was cool

[iateurbreadwhoops]

i think one of the biggest disservices of casting 20-30 year olds to play high schoolers/teenagers is how much easier it makes it for ppl and fandoms to hate a character so much for no reason (or pretty stupid reasons lmao), especially female main characters. bc it makes it so easy for ppl to forget that those characters are supposed to be teenagers. people look at them and see adults and so then they go on to have all these expectations abt them and how they should act, all while forgetting that the character is actually just a teenager. and that all the things they aggressively hate them for is just pretty typical teenage behavior 😭. like of course a teenager is not always going to make the best decisions, be likely caught up mostly in their own lives, have emotional outbursts or feelings that can’t fully and effectively regulate yet, and be just annoying sometimes (bc let’s be real, all teenagers can be annoying sometimes). ppl look at them as adults, bc they look like full grown adults who happened to be cast to play 16 year olds and we’re supposed to just pretend that 16 year olds look like that in real life, and then see the decision they’re making or the way they’re acting and of course think it’s dumb or annoying, even though it’s actually pretty normal and typical for a teenager who hasn’t fully matured and finished developing yet.

#idk why i can’t think of any specific examples right now #honestly this is applicable to most teen dramas in the US LMAO #tvd #elena gilbert #outer banks #kie #sara cameron #my brain is blanking but there are SO MANY more expamples #yes i am mainly talking abt wmc #bc they’re the only ones who ever seem to get that level of hate anyway
