#hate of predictable plot

Part 22 of Drawing My Reads was Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

#my art #ninelivesart #art #procreate #digital art #art 2023 #drawing my reads #fourth wing #violet sorrengail #so I didn’t hate this book #but I also wasn’t wowed by it #plot was super predictable #also I thought violet was a brat at the end and it kind of irked me #I’m withholding final judgement until I read the second one tho #because I also didn’t care for the first acotar or caraval books #and ended up loving them #so we’ll see

It just occurred to me, and I’m sure I’m not the first person to point this out, that GO3 is perfectly set up to be the mirror opposite of season 1

The world is coming to an end, but this time, Aziraphale is the one who has to convince Crowley to work with him and that Their Side is worth fighting for. He’ll finally have to declare affirmatively that he and Crowley belong on their own side together, as opposed to hiding behind the pretense that Crowley is just dragging him along, because for the first time ever Crowley isn’t going to chase him down

#i’m an aziraphale apologist and will have no aziraphale hate on this post #but he does have a lot of growth to do #that I’m fully confident s3 will deliver #it’s almost like fictional characters have flaws that influence their actions in order to create plot #go2 spoilers #good omens #good omens 2 #go3 predictions #ineffable husbands

oh waaaaah jjk sucks because my fave died!! okay then go back to children’s shows or something where no one ever dies at all.

since the beginning of the series it was established that being a sorcerer was incredibly dangerous and ended with most sorcerers having short lives. it’s one of the first things discussed by the characters.

it’s a dark series and that means people will die. “people dying = bad and predictable writing!!!” it’s a fantasy series and you aren’t the one fucking writing it. it’s not even complete and you don’t actually even know who’s dead or not or who will actually stay dead. they haven’t even fully revealed what yuuji’s team’s plan is yet.

like…if you don’t like that then take your ass back to bnha or grow tf up.

#jjk spoilers #jjk #gojo satoru #literally mean it mostly about him #i like him but he’s the strongest. there’s not much to build on for his character at all #either he actually wasn’t but needed to believe that he was #or he’s not actually dead yet #‘oh it got so shitty and bad after the shibuya arc’ #then stop reading it. #they established from the BEGINNING that people are going to die #if their deaths seem sudden and surprising then that’s GOOD WRITING #plots shouldn’t be predictable all the time #it’s like just because you don’t like something means it’s inherently bad #you guys have got to respect that media is meant to be diverse and that is does not have to be happy or make you happy in order to be good #please stop hating fr you guys already fucking ruined bnha bc of it #bnha spoilers #kind of #that’s a series i put down and walked away from because it’s pretty obvious the author wanted to kill off bakugou #but him being a ‘fan favorite’ prevented that choice #as a result the story is a mess and the plot had potential but now it’s just gonna fall flat

Toya and Mizuki fans get saving! Especially Mizuki fans because there's a good chance their event will be the end of April limited banner!!

Also April 24th is next bonus fact day (if anything interesting happens)

#this is a fact because i'm telling you what banners are next. #also yes it definitely is Toya bc of 3DMV:2DMV balance it is not An (also prsk has a thing about dropping plot arcs for several banners) #if im wrong you can send me anon hate #this is not a leak! do not put leaks in the tags or comments! #this might become a regular thing because i wanna help you get those 4*s. and i predicted a year's worth of events. #mod talks #someone send me anon hate reminding me to stop breaking character #speculation

i love those annoying ass 2007-ish action protagonist guys with their shitty one liners and bad attitudes towards everything and mediocre growth all tied into a story that's not very good but overall enjoyable

#im thinking about ezio. like. ok. i hate the average ac fan. do not tell me those games had good plot. #they are nothing mind blowing #its the same thing over and over again #annoying ass guy has people close to him die for character growth and theres a woman with no agency besides being sexy and the plot twists #can be seen from miles away #thats not good plot #BUT. it is enjoyable. #besides the no women. #imagine if we could get shitty action games from 2005-2010 but with women #this might sound like i hate ac but my point is i love how cliche and predictable it is and i love the tropes it plays #it's exactly what you'd expect it to be! #the fucking. team of Some Guy who's special. his love interest. a lesbian. and a faggy british guy. #that's a classic #i mean it's not good and definitely not fresh by 24 standards but it is enjoyable which is the most important thing #idk how to phrase my love for obectively mediocre things in a way that doesnt make it sound like im being a hater #im saying this stuff with love #ac i missed you. middle school me was so right. #am i making any sense #i hope i am a ''babygirl i was born to understand you'' to u guys #leevi talks

[thesugarhole]

still thinking about the last bigtop ep... he doesnt even hate him it was just a bit for the job... me and the 50 others that said oh steve and cesare with the freshly divorced vibes... were we wrong...

#predictable plot development will have steve breaking out in some old deut related way and cesare will hate him for real #or maybe cesare regretting jailing steve specifically bc steve doesnt know shit fuck kjfdhdhsk #sugar.txt #watching bigtop burger

im being completely honest shaman king is abt whoever hana is and then......yoh........is that the name........idk a coming of age thing and theres probably a dragon involved

achievement unlocked: give mutuals an extremely warped perspective of your favourite media

hana is from the sequels he's yoh's son and one of the hater teenagers of all time

coming of age thing? in a way maybe...

dragons? there is Minor Dragon Activity in the form of Ghosts And Shit

#discovering I post about hana way more than I thought #probably because of the flowers anime #anyways the plot of shaman king is this yoh kid teams up with a gay samurai to become god and then shonen tournament arc happens #he also has a fiancee named anna who is awesome a rival who's totally in love with him and there's a subplot about a cult #I was going to write something about hororen here but then I Thought About It and realized I am comedically predictable #*walks up to rivals who pretend to hate each other but understand each other better than anyone else* #so which one of you gets stabbed by a giant skeleton and which one of you gets dead wife flashbacks about it

Trying to figure out how to word the fact that old people in a future setting would be elite video game experts.

Like with handling a controller, like all these kids these days and their newfangled computer brains, back in MY day we could type 500 words a minute with our FINGERS and had the twitch responses of a god.

Doc headshots Deimos 6 times in their game and Deimos has no idea what the fuck is going on because he doesn’t know how to aimbot.

#Thinking about how people younger than me don’t know how to operate desktops. #Playing with future scenarios is weird because you gotta kinda predict how generations are gonna react to stuff #Like how kids in schools now are given chromebooks and holy fuck I hate chrome so fucking much oh my GOD I hate chrome it needs to DIE #Idk I’m messing with worldbuilding again and it’s fun to plot out what people do and don’t know #Regular apocalypse madcom is fun to write for similar reasons #A mix of the distorted reality and the fact that There Were Cities Here #Having people interact who were there before they were in the shadow of the coliseum and characters who can’t imagine what it might be like #I heard you like stories so I’m telling stories in my stories so you can read stories while you’re reading a story #‘Are you old enough to remember what the stars looked like?’

'When Bonnie Bennett has a hunch, you don't ignore it' FINALLY SOMEBODY WHO HAS LEARNT FROM THE PAST FOUR YEARS OF SUPERNATURAL DRAMA!!

#TVD #tvdu lb #series 6 #I'll Wed You in the Golden Summertime #Bonnie Bennett #Matt Donovan #i know a lot of people dislike matt and im personally conflicted but he was a good friend to bonnie when they were actually allowed to be #friends to each other instead of being ignored by the writers and absent from the plot #i personally hate when a character constantly predicts bad things they get dismissed then the bad things happen anyway and nobody learns! #at least matt has been paying attention even if hes bitter and paranoid about it he is actually taking precautions when their lives have a #tendency to go off the deep end so i cant entirely begrudge him even if i dont entirely agree or enjoy his anti supernatural mindset

sorry but in season 3 i need to see aziraphale grovel. i need him to swoop in and save the day for crowley and apologize and kiss him with everything he’s got bc crowley deserves it. and yes i understand aziraphale is still brainwashed effectively and he has so much unlearning still to do but crowley deserves aziraphale at his best and once he gets there? they will be so deliriously happy and i will lose my mind.

#crowley i love you so much MWAH #projecting onto crowley once again #i hate that their relationship will def take a back seat in s3 almost definitely #bc i want it resolved in like the first episode and they tackle the end together as a team but. it will not be that #it’ll be them coming together again against all odds for heaven and hell vs. humanity as predicted #but fuck. they deserve to be at the front of the scene #their love is truthfully far more interesting than the plot against heaven and hell at least IMO #AHHHH #go2 spoilers #thoughts

Still thinking about the cutscene where shimano brought sagawa and majima in and he was telling them all about his grand plan and majimas responses slowly began to taper off until it was just sagawa and shimano discussing majima as if he wasnt literally right there

#Yakuza loveblog #also makes me laugh when even sagawa who loves to talk is stricken into silence by shimano who loves to talk even more #like they are both similarly terrible people but shimano absolutely hates putting himself in direct line of fire #he comes off to me as a cheap imitation of kazamas expert fuckery. like he works as a male manipulator just hes not the best #also during that scene when shimano replies to sagawa while looking directly at majima watching his expression and laughing at him #and the two of them are like playing with dolls making majima and makoto kiss and being like lol this chump. dont they make a good pair lol #and majima god he .. he just had his movements predicted down to who he should fall for #their tense friendship and affections manufactured in someone elses plot

Figured out why the ‘Mike doesn’t say he loves El anymore’ conflict feels so out of place - it’s because that’s Steve and Nancy’s conflict from season 2. It doesn’t belong to Mike and El! It’s literally a different couple’s conflict badly and sloppily tacked onto their relationship! No wonder it doesn’t feel like it fits! 

And honestly, looking at it from the perspective of ‘this isn’t just not-foreshadowed and poorly introduced but also out of character’: it also doesn’t make any fucking sense that El would ever lie to Mike. Especially not to try to convince him that she’s cool and popular and happy without him. The whole thing just smacks of ‘we watched half an episode of a random sitcom in a hospital waiting room one time and thought we could just steal and give that conflict to our literal main characters without anybody noticing that it doesn’t belong in our story or their relationship and makes no fucking sense.’

#well that and/or 'what do people in relationships fight about? uhhhhh women being lying bitches and/or overemotional crazy people' #not 'what things that THESE CHARACTERS care about might come into conflict' #it's bad writing #on top of blatant misogyny #I love that one of tumblr's suggested tags here was 'i hate the duffers' thanks bro #if no one else got me i know tumblr's extremely broken predictive algorithms got me #stranger things #seriously 'el thinks mike only loved her because of her powers and that now they're gone he doesn't care about her anymore' was RIGHT THERE #and THEMATICALLY RELEVANT and would have CONTRIBUTED TO THE PLOT i am GNAWING GLASS #i'm still not finished the season but i'm STILL MAD ABOUT IT

Man i wish i was better at analysis. Me and someone else will watch a story about a knight destroying a dragon from the inside out and the other person goes "this is a beautiful story about how self hatred can kill you before you even die. The knight represents sickness and depression, those outside factors that causes one to hate themself, and the dragon represents the reader. Through this tragedy we as an audience learn that we must love ourselves or else we die before we can live." And when they ask me about my interpretation of the story i go "uh. Its a story about a knight stabbing a dragon in his tummy....? Which. Uh. Which means that you shouldnt eat random things on the ground."

#i am both deeply jealous and deeply in awe of people who know how to do literary analysis #the same way that a closeted lesbian highschool girl bully is to the manic pixie dreamgirl thats openly out #that is to say i want what you have but in a adoration way not in a. 'i hate you' way #yearning and such #i can point at plot points and characters and predict their trajectory but like. beyond that i cant do much

Observing the fandoms of shows I watch that have lots of fans that skew younger makes me kind of marvel at how different things are in online fandom even just 10 years after I was their age.

Like, I know I probably sounded like I was losing my mind every 5 seconds in posts I made as a teenager, but some things I see nowadays are actually concerning. I see people taking things waaaayyyyyy too seriously. It’s a TV show. It’s not obligated to go in the direction you want it to. It’s not the end of the world when it doesn’t. It’s not even the end of the TV show yet. Who’s to say it won’t go in that direction eventually, or even do something completely different that you’ll like even more than what you initially wanted? And outside the bubble of those younger fans on tumblr and twitter, no one really cares about the same issues that are being blown out of proportion here.

#no spoilers but i'll tag just in case #st spoilers #stranger things spoilers #specifically this is about stranger things and umbrella academy but i also saw it in the julie and the phantoms fandom too #but i'm seeing people act like a certain ship not becoming canon is the end of everything #am i the only one who had the sense to realize that realistically it probably wouldn't be canon and at least not right now if ever #like can we not joke about coming after a teenage actor because they ship the ship that didn't become canon and gave people hope #the actor just wanted to interact with fans. nothing malicious. honestly it's not even misleading. #anyway it's 2am and i watched stranger things this morning and then rewatched episode 8 when my brother watched it #and i'm still like processing the whole season so i can't even allow myself to pay attention to these younger fans #i just see the posts and tweets and i'm like '...nope... really glad i'm not that age right now... not gonna even touch that issue...' #honestly. these kids need glee. that desensitized me from asking for stuff from my shows because then it'd happen #and then it'd blow up in some weird way or just get undone by the end of a season or just be stupid and not what i wanted #only rarely did things i REALLY want to happen happen on glee. the rest of the time i was just along for the ride. #and that's the mindset i have when watching tv shows to this day. so honestly. thank you glee. #quick someone find the gif of soos in gravity falls saying 'this better be exactly like my fanfiction or i will be VERY disappointed.' #also something being hinted at and foreshadowed doesn't make it predictable when it happens. it makes it planned. #i swear. people are getting too used to shock killings or plot twists out of nowhere that they're forgetting what foreshadowing is. #the finale has a 9.6 rating on IMDB right now. a site that is infamous for being incredibly skewed if even half a fandom hates something. #(believe me. doctor who's IMDB ratings are all over the place due to a loud group of Thirteen's haters) #so if even a good chunk of the fandom disliked the finale then the score would be much lower. but it's not. #maybe it will go down a bit as more people watch. but this is not game of thrones. but i see people treating it like it is. #and really only focusing on 2 or 3 maybe 4 specific issues and writing off everything else. #(not trying to swat a hornet's nest or start crazy discourse and my anon is turned off so just don't come at me. i don't care.)
