i watched ruby gillman and i thought it was a pretty good movie about how you shouldn't judge people by their appearances, how what you are doesn't necessarily define you, and how sometimes people's black-and-white ways of thinking need to be challenged. up until the villain twist that taught the protagonist that those things all only apply to her and everyone else actually should be judged by their appearances because their words and actions are deceptive, how what they are born as absolutely defines them and will cement their role in the story, and that if your grandma says a certain group of people that you've never met is evil well you better listen to her because she's right.
listen i actually liked the movie ok, the character designs/visuals/animation in particular was great. plus the kaiju fight was kind of awesome ngl. but from what i've seen i think we all agree that the "villain plot twist" was so shit it gives disney a run for their money...

Bitch you took your son's phone and internet connection to prevent him from speaking to Mhok, of course we thought that. Because you did that. This is such BS.
Again, you took his phone and internet connection away. Fuck off with this.
Fuck off with this ableism bullshit disguised as love.
This is not 'just a mom with a disabled son'. This is harmful and hurtful and degrading and hurt Day more than anything else could have hurt and I hate her. I don't care.
Mhok is still definitely the hero of this story and a literal walking green flag on all counts.
I hate Day's mom.

actually thinking about this and im not ready for when percy gets claimed and everyone at camp starts to ignore him at best and treat him bad at worst. im not ready for him trying his best at his classes with annabeth only for her to scowl and stomp away. im DEFINITELY not ready for when he gets the newspaper about his and his mom's disappearance with the number circled... as if to show that hes not welcome there. it is one thing to read about it because yeah it sucks and i have cried every time i reread it but to see it? to watch as it happens to a literal living child right in front of my eyes??? im gonna wail like a fucking baby.

S4 E3 Supernatural
Now THIS is a good episode. Castiel took Dean back in time to 1973! We find out Sam and Dean's maternal grandparents, Samuel and Deanna Campbell, and Mary are hunters. On top of that, Azazel is playing match maker so he can have his little psychic children be the best of the best, and he made a deal with Mary to revive John after he killed him. Also as if Azazel hasn't killed enough of Sam & Dean's family they killed Samuel and Deanna too. Oh this is so interesting, then Castiel taking Dean back, saying destiny can't be changed but Sam is going down a dark path and either Dean stops him or angels do.

I Love Hating Lady Anabella
Spoilers for FF16 under the cut.
She's just the worst. She fully buys into the pressures of her role in preserving the Phoenix in the ducal bloodline. She's a horrible wife and mother, seeing her family members as nothing but tools for her own ambitions. She's a horrible ruler, oppressing her own people out of bigoted hatred. She's entirely selfish. She doesn't really have any redeeming qualities.
Her choices and actions drive so much of the plot and character interactions, through her alliances and manipulations and horrific orders, until it all finally comes crashing down around her.
She's fascinating and terrible; she's an excellent human villain in a world of magic, monsters, and gods.
For all Ultima's scheming, he can just leave Anabella unaware to do as she likes and it works perfectly to forward his own goals through her sheer levels of ambitious petty. He's so alien with such ancient, high-level plans, it's hard to relate; he's simply a monstrous god.
But Anabella? We can too often relate, understanding how and why she turned out the way she did, and even understanding the conflicted feelings she elicits in the protagonists, who are all in some way her children (by blood, by marriage, by fostering), even after all her cruelty to them and those they care about.
And sometimes one just needs that catharisis of enjoying an unapologetically awful antagonist, especially when they're finally outmaneuvered and taken off the board--along with the angst that it really doesn't give any comfort or closure to the remaining members of the family she herself shattered.

ok but imagine billy staying over at steve’s and steve’s parents come home early from one of their trips one night and they’re arguing about something
you know, voices very much raised, accusations being thrown around, the whole shebang
and billy just bolts up, knuckles white where he’s gripping onto the bedsheets and suddenly he’s six again
six years old and his dad is yelling at his mom, his mom is yelling back and he’s in the middle of it
but then steve’s arms are around him, pulling him into his lap, tucking his head into his chest
and he’s safe
he’s still out of it, can still hear the voices, still has tears running down his face but he can feel steve, can smell steve, and he knows no one’s going to hurt him in this moment, knows that much
knows he’s safe with steve
