when you first watch the scene where mike jumps off the cliff in season 1, your first thought is “he did it to save dustin”, and of course that’s true, he wanted to protect his friend. but when you actually stop and think about how quickly he made that decision and how he didn’t scream or cry or try to beg the bullies for another option, it’s actually so much more heartbreaking because you realise he had lost almost everyone he cared about at that point and probably felt like he had nothing to live for.

will, one of the most important people in mike’s life and his first ever friend, got kidnapped and taken to an alternate dimension that he couldn’t escape from on his own. mike lost him.

mike had a big fight with lucas and was too stubborn to apologise and make amends. lucas ran off and pushed him out of the way. mike lost him.

mike yelled at el after she accidentally hurt lucas. this scared her and made her run away, and he was unable to find her again. he lost her. she was also the only person that could help them find will, so he felt like he failed both of them at the same time and thought he would never see them again.

dustin was the only one out of the original party that mike still had by his side, but he was being threatened by the bullies. if mike hadn’t jumped, he would’ve lost him too.

i never thought about it like this until now and it makes it so much more heartbreaking. mike has so much unresolved trauma and so many internal struggles that we have no idea about because they haven’t allowed us to see his POV yet. but i think season 5 will focus on him a lot and reveal so much.

#mike wheeler #stranger things #finn wolfhard #byler #i’m gonna cry man #and because i believe he has internalised homophobia it makes everything even more heartbreaking #he’s going through SO much #that’s why we need to see his POV and feelings explored in season 5 #we need to address all of this #finn needs to get ready to scream and cry and sob so we can finally understand what mike is going through

Us who gave up on Miraculous rushing back to it now that the ship square has finally reversed.

Teen Wolf as Arthurian Characters

Theo Raeken as Sir Mordred

#teen wolf #twedit #teen wolf edit #twgifs #theo raeken #mordred #arthurian legend #arthuriana #my gifs #mine #twarthur #i think this was one of the first ones we assigned #and it's sooo fitting cause theo is one of my favs and mordred is one of su's faves #we love betrayal in this house #also something i meant to mention on the mason one that su brought up but forgot and it fits here to so you're getting it #but the dichotomy between theo killing his own sister and getting her heart and that being what makes him viable to be a chimera #vs mason absorbing his twin in utero and that leading to him becoming the beast #like theo's was a conscious act of evil (even if he was 9 and under the influence of the doctors) but mason's was something that happened #before he was even born something he did unconsciously which would lead to him becoming the quote unquote perfect killer for the doctors #theo and mason's whole perfect evil vs truly good schtick is just soooooo delicious to me you don't get it #and the whole idea of like in order to create the beast the doctors couldn't use theo who was ready and willing to kill #but instead they had to corrupt and infect mason who is the best and most just person in the teen wolf universe #I LOVE the dread doctor arc and the entire of season 5 in case you didn't get that and i will stop here but know i could go on forever

Hot take, Bones doesn't deserve the amount of hate they are getting. Some, I understand but the amount I'm seeing is ridiculous. They have multiple projects they're working on and I get it, rushing through BSD isn't great but they can't animate everything. Also... the way they animated Aku makes more sense. Hard to give a soft smile losing such a large amount of blood from your neck.

Mmh, I understand that it can be disheartening to see something you like so heavily criticized, but I do believe the studio is doing some major mess up this season and that people are legitimately enraged.

I'm the first one to say that we're all here to have fun and there's not really any point on focusing on things we dislike, but I think it's also valid to be upset when something you care about a lot is treated unlovingly, and people are in their own right to express such disappointment. Moreover, I feel like in this case there is a point in expressing one's disdain. It's important to be critic of the media we consume: we could all pretend to be satisfied and settle on complacency, but wouldn't that be deeply detrimental? Otherwise, sometimes it's important to acknowledge and even state loud that you don't like something, because it's only by recognizing something is wrong that people can get to work to change it and improve. If we all tamely pretended we liked the new season, if there was no one to ever evaluate its direction, animation quality, pace, there's little hope for any of them to improve, simply because there's no need to change something people are happy with.

Theodor W. Adorno is my favorite sociologist. He once said, “the splinter in your eye is the best magnifying-glass available”. With that he meant that pain is the greatest source of knowledge. Pain allows to see things that otherwise would go unnoticed: only by acknowledging pain one can understand that something is wrong, that something needs to be changed and improved. I think it's always important to state: “this is wrong”, because nothing can ever be fixed if you don't first recognize it's broken.

Personally, I do believe what Bones studio is doing is wrong. I don't think it's fair to have such a drastic quality drop with the last season just like it wasn't in the third. I don't think it's right to not have an original opening sequence nor an ending sequence (that we know of). I don't think it's right to have such a fast pace that you can't keep up with the events. I don't think it's right to have a season filled with reused animations. I don't think it's right to have very little animation to the point there's up to 36 seconds of the same static frame in a single scene. I don't think it's right to have a quality drop in the drawings and quality inconsistency between one episode and the next. I think it's outrageous that the Fukuchi vs. sskk fight was so poorly animated and completely striped of any emotion. I don't think it's right of them to assassinate Akutagawa's chapter 88 panel. But most of all, I don't think it's right to have a season come out three months after the other. I don't think that's in any way ethically sustainable, and I don't think anyone needed that. I don't think it's right that studios don't get that people don't want an uninterrupted flow of content, people want quality content, and it's important to say that, or they'll never get it. I think they messed up greatly with this season, and I don't think being working on multiple projects can use as an excuse in any way, because as a studio you should be able to tell when you've got your hands too full to handle another project without meeting the quality standard. If Bones studio was working on too many projects, they simply shouldn't have set this season up for release so early, because again, NO ONE needs a new season after just three months.

I can see why you would say that the way they animated Akutagawa's last words makes more sense. It definitely is more rushed, and ugly. I guess one could argue that it conveys how death is precipitous and unpleasant, and doesn't leave space for last words. ... But I highly doubt that much was intentional. The sskk scene in its entirety was so poorly curated that I can hardly see the direction make thematically relevant choices. Even in the rare hypothesis it was a conscious and intentional directing choice, the outcome was still extremely underwhelming, because the moment itself doesn't feel rushed in particular since it's coming right after an episode that was rushed in its entirety.

I agree Akutagawa's death scene in the manga isn't realistic the slightest. But realism in that moment was never what the reader was asking for in the first place! It's a moment of conclusion for Akutagawa. It's the end of his cruel and hated life, and the author chooses to end it in kindness. By giving him a moment to smile and redeem himself, the author is showing Akutagawa the compassion he never received in his violence ridden life. Death scenes in media are almost never meant to be realistic! Their main aim is to move the audience, not to portray a realistic death. It's part of the deal the audience makes with the media the second they start interacting with it, to suspend their belief in order to enjoy the media at its fullest. It's, fundamentally, the same reason why you wouldn't question the characters having superpowers.

All the same, if you find yourself to be on average satisfied with the anime, that's perfectly valid too!!! I'm sorry people's disappointment may have resulted disheartening, and I understand it's hard to avoid, but my best advice is to try and curate your own internet experience to be so that you see the least negativity as possible. You might want to consider blocking and unfollowing people whose comments you find unpleasant, even if it's just temporary for the time the season airs. If it gets too much, refrain from visiting the main tag on Wednesdays when new episodes drop if that can work for you. I recognize we as a fandom could work better to build a space that is enjoyable for people who are liking the new season and wouldn't want to meet so much negativity, and I'm the first to admit I've been quite inconsistent in tagging my posts recently, so in the future I'll try to tag negativity accordingly. I do appreciate you for reaching out and sharing your opinion Anon! Let's all work together to build a better fandom space for everyone (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧

#bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd s5 #bsd season 5 #bsd negativity #mine #people asks me stuff #Look‚ an opening sequence is the bare MINIMUM. I knew the season would have been a bad one the second I saw the opening. #If you don't have an opening ready‚ just postpone the release. Seriously. It's infinitely better than releasing an half assed season. #Nobody wants that. We're not getting a second chance to see chapter 88 panel animated‚ it's just gone.

Day 1️⃣: favorite moment of season 5

Had to go with the getting ready montage for the Chenford date because I love scenes like this in movies & so for it to be done so well on a TV show was great!! I know it’s not like anything profound, it’s just fun and something cool they did differently for Chenford’s POV about their first date.

It's finally here, the final series of Ghosts. This show is phenomenal. If you haven't seen it then please do. I expected to laugh but I did not expect to bawl my eyes out. The cast is so good, and the characters are delightful. I am absolutely not ready for this show to end. The Captain's death might actually make me a ghost. Between this and Our flag means death I'm not sure what I'm more excited for. I might just rewatch this entire show.

His leg deserves its own life, dental, health, and car insurance honestly.

The amount of divorces it goes through from the rest of Atsushi's body is astounding.

i just find it hilarious that drive to survive made that whole dramatic ass montage at the end of season 5 that made it look as if danny ric had died and we'll never see him again only for him to get a seat just a few months later 😭😭😭

#daniel ricciardo #f1 #but not a word about seb 😑 #anyway get ready for at least a 5 episode arc on danny's jesus-like resurrection next season
