Sue me for this if you wish but I think Big World Big Adventures: The Movie wasn't actually as bad as everyone says it is and it's high time we gave it the appreciation it deserves, like it's a bit too overhated in my opinion.
Maybe it's just my inability to be overly mean and aggressive abt pieces of media that line up with comfort interests but I genuinely don't get the hate towards the BWBA movie....like nothing was bad abt it in my own opinion? The songs were fire all the way through, the visuals are very pretty (the LIGHTING!!!), and I mean like Nia is there and how can you possibly hate anything that features Nia she CARRIES that movie so hard.
I've seen some ppl say the movements are too much but like...it makes the engines far more expressive and I highly prefer them having a bit more movement to being entirely stiff because being stiff restricts their expressiveness even more, and tbh realism was left behind the second the cgi series made its debut (Ex: D51s were first produced in 1936 and yet Hiro was somehow the first engine on the island of Sodor) so I don't really look for realism too hard when it comes to TTTE because I mean...the trains talk and are fully sentient, and that's already grounds enough for me suspend my disbelief a TON.
Maybe it is just my Nia bias (AND YONG BAO IS THERE AT ONE POINT!!! Absolutely love him.) but I think BWBA is pretty good, it's one of my favorite TTTE movies. It's just really whack that half the fandom seems to hate or at least mildly dislike this movie, which was a huge shocker to me because I was happy stimming the ENTIRE time on my first watch. It was fun and colorful and expressive and thinking about how it introduced so many international machines to the lineup...like I physically cannot hate a movie that caters to my favorite thing EVER in shows with sentient machines (seeing the machines from other countries).
I don't mind the fact that ppl dislike it at all (bc everyone's entitled to their own opinions and all that jazz) but it's more just I can't really find any negatives about it, the only character introduced in it that I dislike is the one they (assumedly) want you to dislike and even then I gotta admit his song slaps. To each their own in the end, I suppose, but the point I'm trying to make is that I think we gotta be at least a LITTLE bit nicer abt this movie.
(And if anyone interacts w/ this post, please don't like. Start fights on it or anything. This post isn't mean to spark any discourse or aggression, it's just my personal thoughts that I'm sharing with the fandom because so far all of you that I've met are EXTREMELY kind and understanding and so I trust you all to be normal abt it.)

The pain of liking series with complex characters is seeing the fandom flatten them beyond recognition

I won't talk about that scene, it has been discussed to death, I don't want to open that can of worms. My blog is just to bully (with love)/appreciate Spencer Reid rn, that is all. I just love the little detail that on Rossi's weeding his bun is all crooked, like his ties normally are.
By what he said in that scene on The Lesson this is never intentional and he simply can't fix a tie/bun to save his life and I think that is adorable.

Today's episode was very triggering for me. Triggering for the me that had to listen that being a writer was a useless dream because it would not give me financial stability (Wat), triggering for the me that had to listen a lot of people saying that my behavior was not aligning with my gender (Thua), triggering for the me that never really showed emotion or what I wanted for fear of being judged and would often just freeze, not knowing what to do next (Kan), triggering for the me that feels like I need work twice as hard and make twice as sacrifices to have a fraction of what other (privileged) people have (Akk), triggering for the me that often had her inner thoughts, ideas, secrets threatened by people who only wanted to use them to hurt me (Ayan), triggering for the me that listens in a daily basis that I'm a freak, that lost long time friendships and whose some family members would really love to burn on the stake just for being me (The World Remember gang).
All of that is still a part of me, parts of myself that got hurt over the years, parts that I struggled to heal but never managed to, parts of me that are in a constant fight in a society that tries to diminish me and turn me into something that I know I'm not. The thing that hurt me the most is that I used to be just like Akk before he turned into a School Prefect: smiley, introverted but still approachable...but now I'm just like the School Prefect version of Akk. And that hurts every time I think about it.
I knew this show was going to go places, it was a given. Bit damn, today really got to me, a lot of things at once.
