penelope, you should talk about sailor moon! whose your favorite character?

whistl_stahp: ohhh that's a tough one! All the Sailor Scouts are great. steakshift: you mean the Senshi? whistl_stahp: I watched the DIC English dub when I was in school. That's the version I think of first. (PS please stop interrupting.) whistl_stahp: Amy (Mercury) was definitely my #1 favorite when I was younger. She was super smart, passionate, but really shy. That struck a chord with me. Still does, tbh. whistl_stahp: second place is Mina (Venus). Sorta goofy but very loyal, very tough, never gave up. Loved her energy. Plus... she had a talking cat. whistl_stahp: final runner-up: Serena (Sailor Moon). She wasn't too keen on being a hero, compared to snacking and sleeping. We've all got days like that, right? The important thing is that we pick ourselves up and fight for what matters. And she did! All the time! Sorta key to the show. whistl_stahp: plus... she had a talking cat.

It's so interesting how people reacted so drastically to the criticism against the Prequels, disliking both Anakin and the Jedi while liking Obi-Wan, that Anakin and Obi-Wan managed to be basically merged into almost the exact same character.

Anakin has the "relatability factor" of being the protagonist who goes on a journey and has the flaws that are explored within the story. But he's COMPLETELY unlikable as a character, especially in AOTC (and I hear people find child actors grating in general which is a personal taste problem but caused people to dislike Anakin in TPM too). He's whiny, rude, disrespectful, awkward, unforgivably uncool, and comes with a HEFTY dose of secondhand embarrassment in nearly every scene he's in.

Obi-Wan has the "cool factor" of being the one who is the Adult most of the time who is there to showcase how far the teenaged protagonist has to go still, so he gets all of the clever quippy lines and the better fight scenes (and his actor was a little older and more seasoned which probably helped a bit). But he's not the protagonist and so his flaws are not on display and it's not his story being told at all.

TL;DR Obi-Wan is an actually likable character with redeeming entertaining traits, but Anakin had all of the character story beats and protagonist bias.

And this meant Obi-Wan got out of the Prequel Trilogy a lot easier than the rest of the characters, especially Anakin (and the other Jedi).

So then we got The Clone Wars. And TCW is a show that is much lauded for being the show that "saved" the Prequels, generally by "saving" Anakin as a character. How did they do that?

They took away all of those pesky uncomfortable qualities of Anakin's and instead just gave him all of Obi-Wan's more fun likable qualities. TCW Anakin is turned into a dudebro action hero, with tons of cool action scenes to show off just how badass he is, endless amounts of quippy dialogue so he can equal Obi-Wan in their scenes together, capable of flirting with a Queen SO WELL that she doesn't even realize he's faking it until he pulls out a lightsaber. Gone is that secondhand embarrassment, gone are the whiny moments, gone is the inability to have a cool fight scene to save his life. The awkwardness stays just enough to make him ENDEARING, but not enough to cringe at so much you want to turn off what you're watching or just fast forward to the next scene.

And this is the version of Anakin that feels more "right" to people, more true to what they anticipated in a baby Darth Vader. He's angry a lot, violent, prone to lashing out if things don't go his way, but he's also just charming and suave enough that it's mostly understandable why people around him are willing to write off his worse behavior as a momentary struggle. Gone are the tears, gone is the fear of loss being his most obvious motivator. Because THIS is how people expected a villain like Darth Vader to act in his youth.

And then you get fanon Obi-Wan. Because people hated the Jedi, rejected the warrior monks who destroyed their visions of gallant medieval knights, and created a whole new interpretation positioning the Jedi as the villains of the story in order to try to make their peace with that dissonance. But they liked Obi-Wan, and Obi-Wan CAN'T be the villain.

So how do you save him from that fate? You make him more like Anakin. He gets to keep the cool fighting abilities and the fun quippy dialogue of course, but he's now completely repressed to the point that he never told Anakin he loved him until Anakin was burning in pieces on Mustafar. Now he's someone who can barely keep himself together and regularly forgets to eat and sleep like a normal person and has to be taken care of by other people. Now he's constantly being portrayed as just as attached to Anakin as Anakin is to him, just as co-dependent as Anakin is in that relationship, just as inclined towards anger and willing to walk away from the more stuffy traditional Jedi Order so he can have the more natural, healthier domestic lifestyle he's always truly wanted and never known he could have. TCW even decided to help out here by giving Obi-Wan a love interest who is for all intents and purposes just a knock-off of Padme, his own forbidden star-crossed love story. He takes on ALL of Anakin's flaws that make Anakin so "relatable" as a character, keeps his more charming likable traits, and loses all of those things that make him a Jedi, that make him Obi-Wan Kenobi.

So now Obi-Wan and Anakin are both cool, charming, suave, silver tongued, attached, repressed, struggling against the Jedi Code. They're effectively the same person, but one of them just happens to commit genocide and the other one... doesn't. What made each of them distinct and interesting characters in their own right is washed away in order to merge them both into two copies of the One Perfect Character and who you like better at that point is probably just down to who you found more attractive or something equally banal.

And through fandom osmosis, this is what is considered their true/"canon" interpretation, regardless of how inaccurate it actually is.

#star wars #prequel trilogy #obi-wan kenobi #anakin skywalker #the phantom menace #attack of the clones #revenge of the sith #the clone wars #star wars the clone wars #tcw #swtcw #i could probably add something to this about fan reactions to the kenobi show being so polarized #because so many fans just know the fanon obi-wan who is perpetually cool and perfect and quippy #and were so taken aback when what they got instead was an obi-wan who was depressed and lost and broken down #because this wasn't THEIR obi-wan #this isn't the obi-wan who had been so likable in the prequel trilogy #who had been the only redeeming factor of those movies even #this is RUINING obi-wan because now he's NOT COOL so what's the point?#clearly deborah chow just didn't understand obi-wan or why fans liked him because he's LOSING and he's BORING #the real obi-wan would never cower before owen lars or run from a fight or struggle to use the force

Miles G pulling a Tiana where he comes home from work, passing Aaron on the couch, and he just flops on his bed immediately going to sleep but then his alarm goes off so he shuts it off with his foot and gets right back up and dresses in his Prowler outfit, passing Aaron on the couch again as he leaves the apartment

couldn't stand the thought of missing out on the rest of our life together.

#why r u mad bc jarmen clowns keep winning ?#cobrakaiedit #cobra kai #carmen diaz #johnny lawrence #s.gif #changed my mind jarmen isnt underdeveloped you're all just haters #because okay listen <- things said before writing a wall of text #johnny's arc w carmen is ALL abt him taking responsibility. he's a man who has run away from literally Everything in the past 30 years.#he's run away from ck/his past w kreese he's run away from his son he's literally on the outskirts of society.#he doesn't. he doesn't CARE enough abt anything to stick w it when it gets hard.#and everyone lets him. no one makes him accountable.#but. for the first time. w miguel. he doesn't want to run away from something.#and i think its so important the carmen and johnny's first Real interaction is when johnny is carrying miguel #home after he got his ass beat.#he's taking that responsibility/that punishment for having failed.#and yeah. he spirals afterwards. self flagellates. and then drags his ass back and promises to be Better.#and he is! he does NOT give up he does not run away ever again #hs fight happens carmen says she never wants to see him again but johnny doesnt take that as a sign to Go Away #instead he helps out however he can while still respecting that boundary #and just ughhhhhhhh that fucking. ''i'll do whatever it takes / i know you would'' exchanges is like. the best way to sum it up #it takes a While for johnny to earn that trust. but he does.#anyways. normal.#long post

How do you think Riku'd react to Shadow Mitsuru and Shadow Yukari?

I think it would honestly be really hard for him, I think he wouldn't realize they were shadows at first but once he notices the yellow eyes then he's like "oh you guys are just shadows excellent I can fight you now"

But before that... it would be pretty rough for him ngl, I'm not exactly sure what Shadow Yukari would say to him, maybe something about his loneliness as a kid? But Shadow Mitsuru? She is going right for the jugular telling him he'll never be anything more than a pathetic excuse for a Kirijo and that he'll always be stuck in mommy's shadow.

#asks #latenitewaffles #koopa bro #i would write more but i am so tired all of a sudden whoops #but this is making me :[ in a good way i looove angst #a small part of riku is genuinely happy he gets to fight mitsuru ngl 💀#he's grown up hearing about how she's crazy strong so given the opportunity to prove he's stronger and at the same time not hurt his real #mom?? man is RUNNING with it #but yeah shadow mitsuru would be NASTY she is not holding back #yukari its harder im not sure what she'd say but considering yukari can be mean yeah its not gonna be fun either #for context to anyone curious one of riku's biggest insecurities is that he will never be as good as mitsuru #and that he's constantly compared to her #so to hear that coming from a thing that looks like her???? thats gonna leave a mark #hell she might even compare him to her grandfather if she's feeling extra cruel #shadow mitsuru obvs lmao

A ton of Sailor Moon references in this Buffy comic "No Need to Fear the Slayer is Here," which is awesome, because Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Sailor Moon have so much in common (I think even Buffy somewhat realized that here, when Rini said that Sailor Moon said that Sailor Moon fought evil by moonlight. LOL).

Also, the little girl's name being Rini (and her having pink hair) is a reference to the character Chibiusa from Sailor Moon (who was a little girl who had pink hair: Sailor Moon's daughter from the future, no less), whose name was changed to that in the original English dub of the show.

Anyway, this whole thing is very cute and I love it.

And I'm sorry for the light from my lamp ruining a few of these images for y'all. Oy. But what can you do?

Hope you all enjoy these snippets of this comic!

i have created an amazing plotline for a future yakuza/like a dragon game featuring a female lead, but i am lazy so i will never write it, it'll just exist in my head until i forget about it in a few days, which is what happens with all the extremely detailed fantasies i make up in my brain every day lol.

in my despera (despair era)

#purrs #talked to her about everything and uhhh. i think she simply cannot compute that being a mom is about more than feeding your kid and bringing #them stuff when they need it (not that that isn’t important or real or anything ofc) or that she has hurt me in ways that run to the deepest #parts of myself. i think i did a good job keeping things civil and not being inflammatory like i usually am but everything i brought up she #refuted by pointing out something that i did wrong which i would then address / explain and apologize for and own up to and then when i woul #would point out stuff she did wrong she would just deflect w my own wrongdoings or change the topic or whatever. lol! and i told her she #night love me but i don’t think she likes me (hashtag ladybird) and she said that that was hurtful to hear but i explained why i felt that w #way and then she did nothing but continue to exhibit the same behaviors that make me feel disliked and quite frankly unloved by her so um.#lol and lawl and lel i suppose. the absolute hopelessness of it. she is never going to understand or change. there are the most basic things #in the world that i need from her which are also the hardest things in the world to ask your own mother ofr and i couldn’t even bring up the #favoritism thing bc everyone was around LOL but um. wow! she does not understand how she is hurting me and nothing i do or say will get #through to her. this will continue and worsen ♥️ i do not feel better i feel worse ♥️ every day brings a new reminder that she is emotionall #unavailable and unwilling to even try to be nurturing in ways that will impact me for the rest of my life ♥️#delete later #the energy it took not to start crying during that and now im too tired. what a fucked up day it’s been #like it’s as if i didn’t even say anything. she is like i pretend i do not see it <3 #also she was like i had these same kinds of fights w my father but i realized what counted was that he was always there for me and i eas #like you’re not wrong but also… maybe that at least partially explains why you are an emotionally unavailable parent! lol!

watched tusk today that film is so funny and also so harrowing like wow let me lie on the floor for a min

#like its sucg an absurd concept that i was laughing all the way through but then at some points ur there like #it forces you to see it as ridiculous until it becomes all too real and theres a guy who's a walrus fighting for and clinging onto his life #that will never be the same #and when he CRIES at the end like 'crying is important bc it seperates us from animals & shpws that we're human' (powerphrasing)#maybe he didnt go 'full walrus' but has some of his humanity in tact and maybe hes crying for the life he once had and the way he #took his freedom for granted #& the scene where he's underwater and there's all the past walrus experiments corpses like. do u think he was the only one to survive bc he #was the only one who wanted to. who fought for it. did the others simply give up because they couldnt let go of what they once had and so #spared themselves a life they didnt want to live created by a monster #ALSO ok the scene where he kills his creator. the man who rebirthed him as a walrus is the same scene where he for the first time does #exactly what the man wanted to do and helps the man to achieve his life's goal and he dies happy but at the sacrifice of his creations #humanity.#so the creation kills the killer and emerges as the killer's masterpiece and purpose. then he's nearly put out of his misery but not and #put in an animal sanctuary where he's constantly exposed. how is that okay #i do wonder whether he'd have thanked them if they did just shoot him after he killed his creator but. i dont know. i dont know.#ok ive run out of thoughts can u tell idk these characters' names lol #tusk 2014 #movies #‚

Pokemon drawings about a dream I had.

#dream was... intresting? i was running away from team megma but team magma was run by archie not maxie and i was offred to join their team #cuz they were going to destory this world and it whould be a shame if such a strong trainer were to die with the world but i told him to #drink piss cuz he corupted the data of my friend to freeze him.#then my friend's data was recovered and a family friend reached out to me to join him in a battle team #it was like a regular pokemon battle but its 6 pokemon between 3 people. and then your fighting 3 peoople with a total of 6 pokemon #but eatch person also has 6 pokemon. but you can only use a total of 6 of them between the 3 of you #my team chouldent find the door to the battle arena and it was our match so we just jumped into the arena from teh stands #my umbron was my main baby and was able to pick off 3 of their pokemon before going down but it was still my turn to send out pokemon SO I #SENT OUT THE GOD OF POKEMON. and aparently this was a big deal cuz the pokemon system worked like pokemon go except phyically manafested #but the pokemon were still jsut data. but there were also real pokemon. data pokemon were introduced becuse real pokemon were so threated #and very few were left so to make things better for them humans whould fight with data pokemon insteed. and no arceus was ever added as a #data pokemon becuse they chould never get the data for it. so i had the real arceus.#after wakeing up i realized all the pokemon in my team were the pokemon i had drawn for my art class where i was makeing greek mugs out of #pokemon heads. so this was me drawing the order of obtaining them plus a tad bit of lore.#Chicken Scratch #dreams #pokemon #fanart #artists on tumblr #umbron #charizard #might post the mug sketches too but i have the 2 i acstholly made here in this blog.#my dreams #Arceus #Pidgey #Pidgeotto #Pidgeot #Gogoat #Skiddo #Charmander

#i miss feeling beautiful n sexy #i miss having hope that one day someone’s gonna love me #there’s not a day that goes by anymore where I don’t have to vividly imagine my suc!d3 in order to escape from my shittty reality #I’m so tired #i can’t sleep #i keep having vivid dreams where my cat didn’t die he just got lost #and it rips my heart out waking up every time without him #i wanna die so bad my life is so shit #i try to be good and there’s no thank you for it #there’s no relief #I’m never going to be loved #all I’m ever good for is my bitch pet ‘ill do anything’ attitude and my sexuality #not even my body I’m just some gross thing everyone gets off to secretly not deserving of real love #i fucking hate Valentine’s Day #message me if you wanna block the ass that broke my heart and being #I’m still gonna try to be the bigger person and not put him #but my days are running me thin #I’m fighting everyday not to take the sciccors and end it all #it does NOT get better #everyone fucking lied #the only way to be happy is money.#i just wanna die so I can be with my babies

I may lose followers for this but sometimes I wish I was back in 2014/2015 bc I think I’d rather the discourse from then than the weird lgbt discourse we have now. I feel like our unity in online communities is diminished or slowly fading into oblivion. What the fuck happened

#I’ve seen people attack each other over sexualities that have existed for YEARS.#and it’s never been a problem until the last few months.#what happened to us. genuinely.#I mean we’ve never been perfect but I feel like our unity is diminishing in online spaces.#things just don’t feel right. I see people attack each other bi Pan omni #I’ve seen people revert from ‘oh bisexual spans multiple genders’ to ‘it’s half gay half straight’#we are running in circles. I am seeing discourse from a long time ago that I thought we all sorted out but it’s clear some people are more c #concerned with infighting than the real enemy which is homophobia and transphobia #the next person to argue abt some dumb shit that doesn’t matter owes me $50 I am so tired of y’all commenting on unnecessary shit instead of #harmful shit in our community and harmful shit against our community. would our trans and queer ancestors want this shit? are we really fuck #fucking fighting over neopronouns and asexuality and sexualities that split off of bi?#no offense but Rowan with sock/socks pronouns and Ashton with pup/pups pronouns are just living their respective lives why do you give a gi #give a fuck about someone’s pronouns or gender or sexuality. if it isn’t hurting you shut the fuck up
