I adore how Tatsuya Endo writes his characters, especially the women. They can be warm, soft, cute, cool, tough, scary... all, if not most, of his ladies in Spy x Family are equally wonderful in their own way, both in character design and personality.

#I haven't felt this passionate about an ongoing series in a while #I still need to finish the anime and see the movie and I'm reading the manga... but yeah #I'm glad I have found something to be passionate about again... especially Franky? #Like... okay so... I feel like I always fall for sometimes princes or leader type characters or a character with a remarkable power #But Franky is... just a simple man in his mid-thirties #I love his design and kind personality towards Anya and his playful side when teasing Loid #And I get so upset over his past and I really hope that he can achieve happiness #Like #I've come to a point in my life that I don't need anything grand to happen #That living life simply is okay to do #And Spy x Family is kinda... helping me with that? Like it's motivating #Back in college I wanted to become a great children's author; I still can. I would love to write a book about my dragon characters #But right now... I am okay with being a DSP and becoming a future cat lady #Spy x Family

I love Malcolm Hawke's first dialogue in Legacy (the one you get if you unbind the shade kept trapped by two seals in a little cell). clearly this whole business was the darkest shittiest time of his life and he's selling his soul and betraying every single one of his principles and everything, but he sounds so endearingly... snippy and exasperated about the wardens using demons willy nilly. the "listen I know I'm up to some shady stuff here and everything but let it not be said I was untidy. I'm fixing your shit as far as I'm able here. you will not be able to pin this one on me. these demons were here before I arrived, this is on the record now" energy. the way he's taking time out of his day to be responsible and enforce mage OSHA regulations in the middle of maybe the most hilariously irresponsible thing anyone's ever done after the magisters tried to break into the golden city. exquisite. the real Hawke family curse is having to specify that actually not all of the catastrophe was your fault okay this is at least like... 30% not on me this time. I. I tried. everything was on fire and I had a children's toy bucket and a bottle of rum on hand

#I've never played Legacy (or Mark of the Assassin) before so I'm having a ball lol #I love snarky!hawke in MotA in that he's such a callous asshole in a very specific and endearing way #it's the *shrug* all of my friends are crazy and most of them are killers what do you want from me here blaséness that does me in #bitch if you want my genuine emotional engagement you're going to have to do much much wilder than this #that and the hilarity of ignoring the call towards noble action tallis tries to pull on you and going 'no. fuck this' and just leaving #brilliant #dragon age #dragon age 2 #I have so many thoughts about malcolm as the ghost who is always hovering over the narrative #especially since it's very much implied your hawke takes after him no matter which personality type you chose #(right down to sharing a voice actor with male hawke -- do you think the twins look over at their brother and almost think #that it's their dad for a moment sometimes? I have feelings and thoughts all over the place) #a ghost varric has only ever met through the reflection he left behind in his children and especially hawke #the ghost of a ghost through the story. so interesting

your sokka is SO sokka and i say this as someone who holds him so dear ur writing of him is amazing. tbh im sooo fussy with his portrayal but its pretty nailed. like so many fics (esp zukka and zuko centric and ESPECIALLY ones where hakoda like adopts zuko) he's constantly pushed to the side in favour of zukos issues and zukos problems when in reality sokka is very hurt himself and has suffered a lot. man i GET taob sokka i really do bc people seem to think he was a lil mean but nobody seems to realise when you're in sokkas position it would've read like everyone was against you. all the swt men, including his dad who snapped at him, and even katara and aang and suki tell him to give zuko a chance and the fact that they were trusting someone who had hurt all of them so much- because yes WE know zuko wouldn't have killed them, but the gaang didn't. not when they were being chased and terrorised, and when sokka had his trust betrayed in the prison, he had absolutely every right to hate zuko, esp when it felt like everyone who he thought would understand his feelings, including his own dad who had been hiding his relationship with zuko from him, seems against him. his conversation with hakoda was probably my favourite scene in taob just bc he was allowed to feel like that without being treated by the narrative as someone just being mean to poor little zuko. he gets to be a sourpuss and angry and jealous at zuko for feeling like hed been replaced by his own dad. all of the water tribe men get this treatment like they're not written as bad people for being wary or disliking zuko initially (even chena despite being enemy no.1 at the start). his convo with hakoda was so important bc it stressed the detail that yes zuko has suffered and deserves to be cared for but SOKKA is his son, his actual child who is so hard on himself for things out of his control and who has hurt so much and deserves just as much as zuko does. sokka is just a baby my boy. he's not the main character but he's just as complex and intricate as zuko, not just in taob but also for the times we have seen him in tams there's been keen detail to his emotion and how he's feeling pointed out

me rn

#BESTIEEEEEEEEE YOU GET IT <333 #like ik the atla fandom including unfortunately some taob locals are generally AWFUL with sokka when zuko is involved #but it really was only a handful of taob readers esp in the grand scheme and i do want to clarify that #but now we're on the same page. OH MY GOD WHEN I SAY I WANTED TO PHYSICALLY FIGHT SOME PEOPLE #JUST THE SHAMELESS FAVOURITISM??? THE EXPECTATION THAT I TREAT A CHARACTER AS SOMETHING NOT-HUMAN BC THEY HAPPEN TO BE MEAN TO THEIR FAVE?? #like idc if zuko means a lot to you!! idc if it's sad seeing people be mean to him bc you relate to him so much!! #id be a terrible writer if i treated the other characters as planets in zuko's orbit. THEY dont know they're in his story #and sokka is a fucking sixteen year old. like come on i get mad when people do the same with chena being a dick to zuko #but at least he's a grown man. sokka is a TEENAGER. even if he was being irrational that would be completely fair #bc teenagers ARE FAMOUSLOY IRRATIONAL!?!?!?! GO OUTSIDE??!?!?!!? #anyway. im so normal about this topic and hold noooo grudges not any haha #remembering when someone commeted saying me personally as a real life person i was insidious and evil for insinuating #that adopted children arent worth as much as biological children and i should NEVER adopt bc im clearly the Worst #when that is not only an insane thing to say to a stranger on the internet but also. not what happened #hakoda never adopted zuko. that's a joke made in fandom. jokes are when people say untrue things for comedic affect #adoption is an actual official process of willingly and actively bringing a child into your family #NOT taking some teenage symbol of your culture's oppression as a prisoner and unwillingly growing attached #and now he's someone you're fond of and feel protective over as is natural of an adult towards a hurting child #but your actual son feels replaced and it's especially cutting bc of aforementioned symbol of your culture's oppression #and also this specific kid was a dick to him. like as a pretty notable part of his character he was a dick to him #so you reassure him bc that is your actual real life son. yeah? #are we on the same page? are we good? please i dont know how much more i can take- #taob asks #ask

Hey, remember like 10 years ago when many of us were in our teens and twenties? Remember how there were all those news articles making fun of “millennials and their avocado toast,” that they didn’t know certain skills that had stopped being taught in school, that they were ruining the economy by killing various industries?

Remember how we rightfully said that was bullshit and we would be the generation to end it, that we would be nice to the generation after us?

I’ve seen a couple posts shitting on gen alpha kids. Don’t do that. Remember that they’ve already been through climate disasters, political unrest, and a global pandemic in their young lives. Talk to them. If they’re being rude, it’s probably because they’re struggling, not because they’re evil. Treat them as we wanted to be treated when we were their age. Children are people.

#I’m so tired of these made up reasons to hate young people #you are not allowed to hate children actually #you can be frustrated with them but you have to be compassionate towards them #being a child is fucking hard #especially now #children #generations #future generations #boomers #baby boomers #gen x #millennials #gen z #gen alpha #youth liberation #children are people

the thing about each pjo book is that each of them is uniquely the best in what it sets out to do. each is so monumental in what the story ends up amounting to, picking a favorite is almost like pointless. you could not have all 5 work so well if one was missing

#tlt introduces the world and the main trio and the main antagonist #fun adventure in wacky world. normal #som piggybacks off the already established status quo of the world (fun wacky adventure) and builds relationships upon it #explores characters more. more introspection from percy and a lot raised (and answered) about annabeth #plus solidifying percy's bond w grover #ttc was my least fav for a long time because it just felt like idk off #and i now think it's bc it's where the story pivots a bit and becomes more serious #it's still v much haha fun adventure bc it's children's lit after all. but it is once again meant to solidify #percy's bond w annabeth; percy's devotion to chb and his feelings towards the prophecy #as well as being the climax of thalia's character and kind of settling the fact luke really is evil and doing some real shit #exemplified by the fact this is the first book where protags die #and thalia pretty much kills luke. like he doesn't die but she couldn't have known he wouldn't die #so percy now REALLY has an idea of what he's up against #notice how the following two books really couldn't have happened w/o this kind of certification from him #botl is like. AHHHHHHHHHH it is my fav for a reason #i just really love how it doesn't lose the footing w the pace and the fun hijinks but still manages to deepen the relationships between #the characters #especially with the focus on percy's feelings towards nico and annabeth's towards luke #like *chef's kiss* that book is so fucking good please #and with a foundation so strong there really was no way tlo could have been bad lmao #but still the fact the book takes time from Teh Final Confrotation vibes of it all #to make a point to show percy going back to his mom's. luke going back to may's. hestia's presence in the middle of all of it #rick was like this series has a theme and i will show it to you NAOW #and the action scenes in this one??? UNPARALLELED. tlo and botl the most riveting to read #if you remove one of them the story stops making as much sense!! #(i can hear you all going yeah like every other book series and NO. esp ya/childrens lit has SO MUCH filler) #ME? pjoposting in 2023? it's more likely than you think #pjo

With praise for this film going around, I would highly recommend folks watch Nimona. However I would also recommend you take a look at Does the Dog Die or similar information if you are in a place to be triggered by certain themes. I know that’s frustratingly vague but I also want to avoid spoilers (more specifics in the tags). Also happy if folks wanted to message me for more specific info. Enjoy and stay safe <3

#Nimona #radio chatter #Okay vague spoilers following: #you’re going to want to be on the watch for suicidal ideation and an on screen suicide attempt #strong themes of mistreatment fear and discrimination towards “othered” groups (largely trans but alegorious to many peoples) #Including/especially children being mistreated

Moth Flight's vision could have looked at Acorn Fur and said, "You have a shared trauma. Both of you have lost the same person, you a mentor, you a mate, to a senseless tragedy. And no one will take you seriously. Neither of you are fully trained because everything is brand new. How will you navigate this world together? How will you cut through the tension between your clans?"

But no the Erins are incapable of writing women having any emotion towards each other except spite

#Like #Slate and Acorn Fur are scorned for related reasons... #Slate for not raising her kits right and Acorn for wanting kits while employed #In fact I wouldn't be surprised if Moth Flight only came up with the rule JUST to spite Acorn Fur and Red Claw #Because in her head Acorn was about to have the life she wanted and Red Claw contributed to Micah's death #But... if that was true it may be more Interesting but it would still kinda suck #I would prefer if Moth wasn't so spiteful all the time especially towards other women #To the point of traumatizing her children #Warrior Cats Analysis #Moth Flight's Vision #Moth Flight #Acorn Fur

"I… I won't. I'll be good. I promise," Azula said, her voice small. Ozai, behind her, watched his daughter with amusement.

- Gladiator Chapter 346

The trip was much like those they often set out on, and Azula and Zuko fought throughout it as recklessly as they typically did. The nights, of course, were the better moments, as Zuko and Azula fell asleep, allowing Ozai and Ursa to bask in peace and quiet, watching the stars together on deck. It was a placid, easygoing time, and nothing seemed to get in the way of their tranquility…

Ozai reached down, clasping Azula's hand gently. The girl jolted after him, cheeks flushing with excitement as she tried to keep up with the long strides of the two taller men. Once they stood at a fair distance from the others, near the very bridge and pond Azula had fallen in, long ago, Ozai finally decided to speak his mind.

........

"I can…" Azula said, nervously. Piandao crooked an eyebrow.

"Then you would not ridicule your brother, should you best him in combat? You would not be upset, if he ridiculed you for it either?"

"Why can't I do it if he can…?" Azula mumbled. Piandao actually smiled.

"That's what you understood from that?" he asked. "Not quite the answer I was hoping for…"

"I… I won't. I'll be good. I promise," Azula said, her voice small. Ozai, behind her, watched his daughter with amusement.

#azula #ozai #gladiator moments #CUTENESS OVERLOAD #seeing the royal family happy is nice #and Ozai as father of little children is such a nice thing to read as well #human nice Ozai... the one who is partly gone #the way he takes care of the children especially his little daughter is so cute #and I have such a strong dislike towards this woman ursa... #uhh #screencaps:piandao #little Azula flashbacks are my favorite!! #still wished Sokka could see a baby picture of her though

Friendly reminder that if you're cruel/mean/demeaning directly to children because "you hate them" or "they're annoying" then you are not welcome on my blog. while this may not be a space intended for children, we respect them on this blog; additionally, you're allowed to not like kids/not want them in your space but if you're instantly hostile/horrible to them, I do not want you anywhere near me

#maybe im just a very maternal guy but i get so upset when i see people needlessly being cruel to children #someone on my dash posted something about how some kids just need to have someone tell them to shut the fuck up and i'm seeing red #I cannot stand people who are horrible to minors for no reason other than they view kids as inferior #to be clear you're allowed to not like kids. its just especially if you're an adult shut up and bear with it. #make some space for yourself - if they set off your sensory issues try and get accommodations. #if you find it hard to interact with children then you can be polite and excuse yourself asap. etc #but if you're being cruel/rude to children for the crime of being a minor? fuck off with your age superiority complex and get out of here #the hostility towards kids from young adults especially is so worrying to me. this is how people get radicalized to the far right guys. #cli speaks #just gonna uhhhh #discourse #ageism

AU where Vlad is this fiercely competitive PTA parent for Elle who fights other parents at bake sales.

Mainly because the stereotype of aggressive PTA moms on tv is made funnier if you toss a supervillian with OP powers into the mix.

#danny phantom #he is all for proving his daughter is so much better than everyone #especially Jack's children #maddie you could have had this perfect daughter and instead you married this oaf #how dare you imply my child isn't worthy of all the awards AND varsity as a freshman she is perfect how dare you #how dare you insult the cookies I contributed to the bakesale I had the best bakery money could buy make them for me #i need special treatment because I singlehandedly funded the fundraiser to 1000000000% because I'm rich af #just vlad being catty towards those types of parents AND poor Danny #while Danny and Elle watch the dumpster fire and make bets on how long Vlad will be able to control himself for #i know he canonly isn't very nice to his daughter #but this is an au and it can be anything so #i just want vlad to be tossed in with some ladies who will slaughter each other over petty stuff

Before the last episode airs, and I know this is meant more for twitter but I can’t say it there because I will be crucified:

If I see people making jokes about Amity’s chin being ugly just because of god forbid a bad drawing or two, I’m seriously going to (REDACTED). People are legitimately so fucking mean, it was funny for a bit but then devolved into making fun of a girl who just happens to have a prominent chin and not the standard pixie Disney-style “girl face”.

The women of TOH already have a lot less variation especially in things like noses, eyebrows, and face shape to make them look more ‘cute’ and ‘feminine’. I don’t mean this as a major slight on the crew because this kind of design is insidious and kind of happens without actual intent behind it. But obviously someone realized and wanted to change Amity’s face shape for Season 3. And it’s FINE. She’s literally only being made fun of for it because she’s a girl and it’s unusual to see female characters with stronger jaws.

I grew up with an underbite and was pressured by adults into getting (incredibly invasive!!) surgery to correct it since I was eight years old. Surgery that would take 6 weeks for me to recover from and which during that time I wouldn’t be able to eat any solid foods or be able to talk, and it was for almost purely cosmetic reasons! Amity doesn’t even have an underbite. But the world is so cruel to young girls’ appearances that it’s just not funny anymore. God forbid she doesn’t look like Elsa.

#sorry this is way too long but. god does this get me upset #especially considering there’s plenty of children in the fandom #to the point that if I was five years younger and participating in this shit it could have pushed me towards that surgery #the owl house #amity blight #fuck u *draws ur amity with a hooked nose and distinct jaw*

Obviously the libfems are loving the Barbie movie because

1) They only care about owning conservatives and I think it's their main motivation to defend and praise the movie rn.

2) They love men. And most of the last part of the entire movie was literally just about a blond incel which they sympathized with the way they sympathize with any kind of misogynistic men in real world. And the movie's message was entirely based on "See? The matriarchy in Barbieland is as bad and do you feel it?" (it wasn't even close to real life patriarchy) and libfems love fighting some invisible structure of misandry in general. Especially to try to reform men. So yeah perfect movie for them.

3) "Feeling" empowered is more important than "being" empowered for them.

If you believe Barbie actually did and could help little girls break gender roles then चुल्लू भर पानी में डूब मरो |

Maybe girls should be encouraged to play with toys like cars, doctor set kits, building blocks or whatever to actually help them and have those things marketed at them instead of only....yk a hyperfeminine fashion doll 🙄🙄

But since all you care about is trolling Ben Shapeepoo then ig nobody can help you.

It's not a deep movie at all. Just have fun and go home. Don't buy a new dress for it. Don't pound your face with makeup. And there are much better feminist movies than this, please stop idolizing it as the best one. Just because men got mad at this one doesn't mean you have to stop here. Think beyond. They will be mad no matter what.

#I didn't even want to make a post on this movie because I literally couldn't care less #but so many posts still hyping it up why? it's a dumb pink movie that should have been directed towards children but nah #they see this as some feminist masterpiece #please step out of your homes and interact with actual people (especially ones outside your friend group) #you will realize most men aren't going to change even if they know you're right #rather focus on reforming gender around women than men

Not Neslihan making everything about her when Özge only talked about how Yaman felt. Idek what to say. Is this really the woman they want us to cheer for?
