Wow another adult animated show headed by people who don’t know jack shit about the medium and then calls animation inferior and throws their artists under the bus and calls the audience stupid for watching animated media and thinking the only thing worthwhile about adult animation is making it gross and shocking and going “this isn’t like your Saturday morning cartoons haha you fucking idiot” while actually good animated shows with some level of maturity and respect for their audience gets axed left and right

Disappointed but not surprised in the slightest

#looking at you Velma HBOMax #I couldn’t even finish the first episode it’s just so unfunny and poorly written #saw that gag abt adult animation floating around and it really grinds my gears so I made this post yeah #also I went into the show expecting a dark satire but it didn’t even deliver on the good satire part 90% of it is just #‘isn’t this trope stupid’ and doing it #there are deeper issues I have with this show but the animation angle is easier to post about I think #also woke up to the news of Dead End Paranormal Park getting axed #and thinking back to how Hbo max did Infinity Train #it’s just rubbing lemon juice and pouring salt over a wound y know #also can we get people who respect animation to head animated projects instead of this trend please…#same thing happened with Housebroken where the writers kept demanding last minute changes because they don’t understand that #you can’t ‘reshoot’ scenes in animation like you would live action #just treat your artists with some fucking respect it’s not that hard

nah fam cause I definitely thought that zhao would mistake yue and sokka for the moon and ocean spirits in the oasis

#like do you feel me #i know its not the plot at all #but it seemed like they were gearing up to that #and zhao would believe it #like how many water tribe girls with white hair are there #and then obvi sokka is practically stuck to her side like glue #and if yue got threatened he'd be trying to protect her #which would - in zhaos view - support the idea #yuekka #live action #thoughts questions theories

Thinking about how Pete promised (his memory of) Uncle Ben that the war he was about to make for himself / get involved in against New York's criminal underground was justified.

Like, Uncle Ben spent ages making sure Pete knew that war isn't a thing that's made on the basis of being just or not. You argue justifications after the fact - to cover up original intentions, glorify the blood. But it's still blood, still spilled, still often out of greed - that's how colonial powers work.

And Pete was clearly listening, enough that he talks about it with Urich with all the fury in his heart, but he's young, and emotional, and a teenager who didn't really get the severity of his actions. He doesn't fully internalize the lessons his Uncle was trying to pass on! He takes his Uncle's gun and calls his battles a just war because he's, well.

#noir posting #spiderman noir #spidernoir #blogcat: chatter #there's reverence for the actions his Uncle was deeply ashamed of in using his pilot gear in the costume. y'know?#fucks me up a little. he's so very anti-war until it's him #guy needs to sit back and evaluate #I think he *does* - headcanon territory here - but that's him growing up and learning to be more self aware #original 2009 run him was flawed and. a kid

finished the bg3 ironhand gnome plotline today and was wondering about the pulse of the fandom so i checked and

turns out almost everyone who played this game is a coward!! doesn’t see that bg3’s commentary on violence can be about resistance by any means necessary to the point that you turn the knife on every single one of the people you once called friend

#[slaps car] this baby can fit so much dialectics about direct action in it!#really makes you think how much of wulbren’s motivation is the ironhand vs gondian religious affiliations & history of violence or #an absolute last tactic to stop gortash whatever the cost. which only tracks if #wulbren was gearing up to kill himself in moonrise towers so the absolute wouldn’t get his runepowder design.#like that’s the line between viewing his pov as an underdog tyrant or going scorched earth as a result of a lifetime of desperation.#which way did he get radicalized? in trying to kill the gondians is he aligning with the absolute and bhaal on purpose or despite it all?#and (i say this only knowing about bg1 and not the details of the bg3 durge playthrough) the bhaalspawn is bg’s commentary on #violence as inheritance. fate vs freedom. the ways in which we take our parents with us. & wulbren/barcus could extend this politically #think about it. think about it!#barcus wroot #wulbren bongle #bg3

i havent been posting much abt bg3 bc i was a little embarrassed that my first character is such a basic half-elf rogue/bard multiclass

but i’m decently into act 2 and with all his gear he’s got SUCH pirate prince vibes that it’s like. wow no wonder lae’zel wants him so bad even tho he doodled on vlaakith’s portrait and waved cheekily at vlaakith instead of bowing and is generally kind of a goldenhearted scamp

like. Look At Him

#lb: bg3 #for the record his current gear is:#+2 padded armor. cape of the red prince. warped headband of intellect.#gloves of dexterity. disintegrating night walkers. the envoy’s amulet. crusher’s ring. and a ring of arcane synergy #and the armor boots and gloves are dyed w the ocean dye #OH and he’s wielding phalar aluve. even tho he’s a lore bard not a swords bard.#and even tho he only has 33 hp at level 6 #he likes to be right up in the action ok

10 Favorite Moments of Snark in BL

This one came is as an ask from the lovely @solitaryandwandering and there are tons of options so I just picked some of mine and labeled them top 10. I reserve the right to change my mind if a remember better.

Quite a few of these came from truly terrible BLs, I wonder if that has to do with me remembering them. Like they stood out as moments of delightful charm in a sea of sewage?

1. Just talk!

Ae getting annoyed with TinCan in A Chance At Love.

Of course it’s MAME first, but the idea of her using one of her most popular characters (whom she fucked over) to criticize miscommunication as a narrative driver (which is her fucking calling card) was just the ironic poop version of a chef’s kiss. (Sorry, I don’t know how else to put it.)

2. Saucing out of jealousy

Let’s just get MAME out of the way, shall we? Type (in TharnType) is an absolute banger at the pithy quip in a very agro way and I love a lot of his lines. I mean calling your lover “crybaby” when you finally tell him you love him? Epic snark. Also the “you can finally stop complaining about us” to Techno is so good.

But my personal favorite, hands sown, is the throwing a sauce bottle. Talk about product placement. (Although said senior’s snarky, “It’s fun to see a big baby agitated” about Type, was also pretty darn great.)

3. I’m so gay

In Rainbow Prince, the fact that Art’s focused pursuit is patently obvious and his subordinates are still careful about it was just really funny to me. It reminded me of my youth when friends got surprised when I came out. Don’t get me wrong, my coming out was perfectly serviceable at the time, but also the ones who were surprised I was like...

4. Ate the phonebook

Bright in SOTUS (played by Off) is a wonderfully snarky character. I love the way he is self deprecating about being a bad student, even in front of his juniors, and the time he leads them in prayer? So funny.

But my favorite is his one shot “Did he eat the national register” when Kong is showing off his memory for names in one of the hazing sequences.

Shout out to the one I do have a screen cap of, this from SOTUS S:

Like serious moment of scripted brilliance.

Ah me, back in the days when most Thai BLs had really good scripts....

5. Goodnight, you fucker

Kao’s fandi-way in the Kiss series.

This is a linguistic one. It’s just I already had grocked the notion of fandi na as being a cute thing couples use with each other (kind of like “sweet dreams, please?”) to see Kao make this super rude when Pete is begging him for it, is so much THEM, their dynamic, it’s particularly snarky and on character.

Also, you know me, i had to pick a linguistic one.

6. Rome getting his own back

Rome in Puppy Honey is such a sweet soft character but also so much owning his own identity, and so steady about it. It was just really fun to see him get one up on Pick.

Even if they both know it’s actually a compliment.

Also should out to Porsche’s moment of quip, “I enjoy this scene a little too much” when he catches his bestie rolling around in paint with cute boy.

7. Invitation?

Tian actually has quite a few moments of snark in Tale of a Thousand Stars. (”You know how to sweet talk now?’). But honestly this is a phrase I use constantly IRL so I was just happy to see it show up in a Thai BL.

8. Just alpha bitch bitching it up

Look is this level of confrontation actually considered snark? I don’t know but Miriam’s defense of Chon in Tonhon Chonlatee is epic. Top level. It’s a real pleasure to watch a female bestie take out an evil femme fatale machine-gun style.

Yes there are others, the bffs (best female friends) in Together With Me and Dark Blue Kiss spring to mind.

9. Calling out the industry moments

There are quite a few of these, and a BL that is already bad and full of tropes has to be careful because they are reviewing themselves badly. And yet they do it anyway. This example comes from one of this year’s worst, My Secret Love:

Our Days has

“Can I love you, my tsundere”

“This year so many Y series came out”

“I think the script writers are at fault”

“Your acting skills suck”

all of which come off as more rich and inappropriate than snark in such a terrible show.

It’s not always bad show tho.

Cherry Blossoms After Winter scene card calling out the “only one bed” trope.

And in on of the Taiwanese BLs there is a moment where a side character tells on of the leads that “tsundere is so out of fashion” but I can’t remember which show.

10. Seme subscription service

Best of the best (IMHO) comes from Korea, who generally specializes in earnest, not snark. But...

Semantic Error is one of my favorite BL’s because the two leads are nearly entirely comprised of snark. SangWoo’s “if my heart wasn’t beating I’d be dead” was perfection, since it also takes a common trope to account.

And when JaeYoung is grouchy and says "No lettuce, eat perilla leaves instead” I bark laughed. Also the “oops my hand slipped” after he shot that dart at the drunk asshole in the pub. Both of these also involve physical comedy moments, so they aren’t strictly just snark they're visual gags but still? *kiss kiss kiss*

But I had to pick seme subscription service as my favorite moment of snark from this series. Because it is both of them, snipping back and forth.

And that’s it. That’s my top 10.

Other good ones?

KinnPorsche Pete has a few the time at the table with the minor family and the time in chains when he’s reading a book.

Most of Team’s responses to Win in Until We Meet Again. from “You’re so picky” to “Don’t even think about it.”

Half of what Pond says in Love By Chance.

All of what Pure says in My Gear and Your Gown.

I don’t love Theory of Love but Third’s internal dialogue (when he’s not whining and pining) and his occasionally take downs are pretty darn great.

Adachi’s internal reactions to Kurosawa’s thoughts in Cherry Magic, especially after they are dating. “Everything is so mushy.”

Akoi’s internal dialogue and self criticism snark in My Love Mix Up.

TangYi’s “too soft” in H3: Trapped.

Noh’s “Fine, yes” at the end of Love Sick. Not a snarky character in general, just a wise and sweet one, but at the end, yes, snark.

NamGoong in Light On Me, the sweetest side character of snark.

Pretty much all of Mob’s thoughts and dialogue in Absolute BL.

This post dated mid 2022, not responsible for snark that came after.

I'm rewatching The Birdcage and there's something about the like incisive satire of queer comedies from the '90s that are so thoroughly unconcerned with the feelings of cishet audiences

#please feel free to ignore this #I'm watching The Birdcage #It reminds me of a couple of articles and critiques I've seen of media ostensibly geared towards queer ppl and/or POC #starting in like the '10s #where it feels very much like it's constantly trying to make white and/or cishet audiences feel included in the joke or the action #or stops short of satire that may hurt their feelings #The Birdcage goes all in on satirizing the hypocrisy of conservatives and the Republican party #But I'm a Cheerleader mocks gender roles and conversion camps #I remember reading a few articles comparing The Proud Family to the remake #and talking about how the new series feels like it constantly brings the action to a screeching halt #to turn to the camera and explain everything for the hypothetical white audience #vs. the original that was speaking specifically to Black/brown audiences and if you were a white viewer you could keep up or not #It's very easy to blame this on streaming but it's hard to pinpoint why #I guess sort of just the rising obsession with viewership/metrics #If people stop watching because they don't 'get it' then that's Bad because what if they unsubscribe or whatever #Changing the channel is no longer an option

it can be annoying when a creator successfully writes complex, emotionally realistic characters in mediums or genres that don't traditionally have complex, emotionally realistic characters, because the fandom is frequently very black-and-white about their views on a character - not even necessarily because the fans are malicious or thinking uncritically, but just because they're not expecting the medium/genre to have such emotionally complex writing and are unused to approaching it in a critical manner. which is how you get webtoons comment sections insisting that a character who's in the middle of a messy character arc needs to be dumped/jailed/publicly humiliated or youtubers complaining about intentionally flawed characters like they need to be completely rewritten to be a "good character" instead of *gasp* flawed

#i've been reading a lot of romance/drama webtoons lately and the comments sections always grate my gears #there's always ppl who are like “i understand why he's like this but that's no excuse!! the mc needs to dump him toot sweet!”#or “the mc's friend was a little harsh after getting her buttons pushed. she's a bad friend and the mc should cut her loose immediately”#like. i get that the romance genre is notorious for romanticizing red flags and glorifying toxic behavior #and i'm glad less people are inclined to put up with a character's shitty actions #but y'all really need to stop thinking in terms of punishment and comeuppance #“i can't wait for them to get their due” “the mc needs to ditch their ungrateful ass” they're 16 calm the fuck down #sage speaketh #analysis #gripes and grumbles

Hatchfiend will return next year 🐾

#It's only 4 chapters and an epilogue so the action plan is iron out the script meticulously #iron out any needed concepts like environments and character refs ect #thumbnails if i get that all done #i'll work on fall warmed comics on and off till the end of the school year #and from then on i'll get into gear redoing the first hatchfiend chapter and work on it all till it's done <3 #ideally on the large break i can thumbnail everything and set up page files so working on them between school work will be a breeze

personally hate the push from people outside of ones system to make their fictives apologize for source actions. like that is None of your business and you should stay out of it bc you dont know them and fictives are not their source.

#no such thing as an 'evil' alter. theyre simply just people existing. and them being forgiven for source actions is between our system only #we just got a weird anon abt it. idk.#personally id never defend this person for any reason bc of his relation to me but you dont know him from the outside.#you dont know if hes different. you dont know if hes atoned. you dont know if he remembers that or not.#you cant judge an alter youve never met. whos never even fronted publically for that matter. you dont know him so be normal.#thats between me and him and our other sourcemates in our sys.#ugh idk. just. as a host it grinds my gears.#regardless of who they are to me or what theyve done in source theyre still a system member and i have a job to stick up for them.#cowboy's crypt #-- cassidy #im gonna go to bed i think i dont need to be arguing with anons about my headmates.#literally none of your business and its a privilege you even know we're a system
