everyone has already pointed this out and much more intelligently but the whole plot of lore olympus really comes down to rachel telling the audience whom to hate without putting any work into proving why

like we are no strangers to character assassination demeter legion has been going thru it since day one, but rachel is so staggeringly bad at writing genuine villains that she has to pull random ass acts of evil out of nowhere to justify her pinning certain characters as bad guys. and it’s proof of her writing by the seat of her pants yeah, but when in doubt she just throws characters under the bus so long as it props persephone and hades up

the narrative NEVER shows us zeus or demeter doing evil things, but they’ve run afoul of the main couple, so we are told they are villains. zeus has proven he’s a bad husband, sure, but not a bad king - but rachel needs to escape the corner she had written herself into, so suddenly zeus is a wife abusing monster on par with kronos. arguably the only genuine villain we see do something 1000% wrong is apollo, and rachel still can’t decide if he’s some brilliant mastermind or some idiot being played. in fact, the narrative is kinder to apollo than it is to zeus or kronos, and that’s saying something

like yeah it’s lazy writing to have zeus be the Bad Guy when we have fucking kronos and also apparently ouranos but honesty it just feels so disrespectful. rachel simply cannot figure out how to write a bad guy so she just keeps throwing random characters in the woodchipper and hopes it buys her a week. it’s such a waste of potential, such a demonstration of her failings as a writer, and a total disregard and lack of knowledge of the myths she claims to be basing this on

#anti lo #anti lore olympus #good luck reading this im rambling #honestly what drives me fucking bonkers is that i actually like zeus lmao #genuinely he’s more interesting than the main couple and rachel was so! close! to a breakthru!!!#like she HAD the PIECES #but she thinks mental trauma isn’t real so zeus is Bad Guy #like every character in this comic is arguably selfish beyond belief but at least zeus actively demonstrates #that he loves his family (which is a HELL of a lot more than hades can claim lmao)#i have more thoughts but good luck making them decipherable me #anyways lore rekindled zeus save us lore rekindled zeus

I think the most egregious case of "tagging a background f/f ship" is when the f/f ship is an established couple that spends most of their screentime trying to get the m/m or f/m ship together. They barely even flirt. Many such cases. :(

I know there are real problems I could get heated about but this one truly makes me want to book a rage room

#asks #yeah sure fine whatever use characters as an accessory or plot device #can you just keep it out of the actual tags for that relationship #we actually want to see them being romantic and important to each other instead of acting entirely for the benefit of another couple thanks #i hate to say this but in my experience ive seen it so much more often for m/m than anything else. maybe its just the fandoms ive been in #but some people think its uwu mlm wlw solidarity to use f/f pairings as accessories to their m/m pairings and its like #you can do that! i get why its cute and feel good to have characters be friends who care abt each others love lives!#but can you please understand that people who use the f/f pairing tag actually want to see them being in love themselves #and not have their entire plot relevance revolve around the dudes in their life.#youre misrepresenting the content of your fic if you tag a pairing as one of the main relationships when theyre only there to help another #pairing along #and believe it or not it gets really tiring to see.#and we can't even joke amongst ourselves about keeping the m/m exclusion filter on without getting accused of homophobia #or being 'weirdo fucking yuriheads' or whatever the trendiest insult lately is #anyway. whatever. this is all so stupid and petty im just gonna clock into work lmfao

oh yeah. the reason why i decided to reread tbhk (and thus it was able to hit me like a truck this time around) was actually not bc of mitsukou going canon but actually bc i maybe accidentally started a tbhk book club w my kids at work and wanted to check the contents of it justttt in case before i put the books in their hands

#tl;dr i have this one 4th grade boy who's a total weeb and knows that i'm the only one in this town who's more into japanese media than him #so he pesters me abt it every time he sees me. and the thing abt this kid is that he gets bored easily and if he does he turns into a #complete menace. now a couple weeks ago. he shows up at the program w one piece volume one and spends the entire time he's there peacefully #reading and not causing any problems on purpose. my coworker owen (the one who climbed onto the roof) and i were shocked and in awe of how #peaceful he was being and came to the conclusion that he NEEDS to have a manga volume in his hands at all times. few minutes later.#he finishes reading and isn't bored yet so he decides to go talk to me abt manga. specifically he starts pestering me abt what shonen i've #read despite the fact that i am a shoujo reader and told him that. but he knows i've read kuroshitsuji bc he previously asked me abt what #the worst anime i've ever watched is and i will never not take an excuse to drag the adaptation. and he figures that if i've read kuro i've #probably read more. and so i mention tbhk and he asks more abt it bc of the name involving toilets and him being a 4th grade boy so i give #brief overview and he wants to read it. and i come up with a scheme to make him peaceful AND to give him something to talk to me abt which #isn't 'i know you've read more shonen manga' 'let me gacha on your phone' or 'i saw an ad for rent a gf. thought it was lame. and now want #you to tell me how it sucks bc i assume you know everything abt every animanga ever' (<does unfortunately know too much abt rent a gf bc i'#a bit of a nosy bastard and watched the mother's basement video). so i offered to bring it in bc i own physicals of the whole series and of #as previously mentioned. gave it a quick reread in advance just in case. and got hit by it. hard. i love you tbhk almost as much as i love #when ppl get into things through me. honestly i think getting to live vicariously through him might be one of the main reasons it got me #this time around and not as much the first time (still loved it the first time though). flash forward a little while. one of the 3rd grade #girls is like. really into reading. and also macabre things. like ghosts. and she has two books from the school library. and has had the #same two books from the school library for over a week. she reads quickly and finished them both in under a day and is now bored out of her #mind rereading them. she asks to read the books i've been letting the other kid read. now there are two of them #romeo.txt

can we hear more about torch and whiskey? they seem cool whats their deal.. what are they all about..

Torch and Whiskey are From a Concept I Float Around Sometimes About Two Ex-Alliance Members Reconnecting 10 Years After The Show They Were On Ended. Their Friendship Ended on Kind of a Bad Note Because Whiskey Desperately Needed the Money to Stop Being Poor as Hell But Torch Fucked Them Over and Went On to Win the Season. He's Since Become a Lonely Miserable Washup and Whiskey Forces Their Way Back Into His Life In an "Im Homeless and You Owe Me This" Way. The Series Would Focus On Their Toxic Little Romance as They Revert Back to Their Old TV Show Behaviors and Start Reconnecting With Other Old Contestants. Here's an Old Drawing of Them Idt Ive Posted.

Another Central Character is Crystal Ball Who I Only Have a Shitty Work Doodle Of But She's SUPER Relevant so She Gets to Be Here

#Theyre Both Angry Bitter Little 30 Somethings Trying to Navigate Object Hollywood Without Killing Themselves or Eachother #They are Guys I REALLY Love But Whatever They End Up Being In is a Whiles Away So I Feel More Comfortable Talking About Them Than I Do #My More Current and Pressing Projects #Its Not Like I Can Make an Object Show Until Im Out of College Anyways But God If I Dont Constantly Think...#Torch and Whiskey are My Main OCS Who Are Like a Couple #Theyre In Love <3 (They Shouldnt Be In Contact At All)#IM SOOO GLAD PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN THEM I Need to Flesh Out Their Designs More #Ive Been Thinkin Bout Making Torch Blue for Contrast Reasons #OCs #Dreamy.txt

Hey hey im one of your fe mutuals. Whats TGCF? Is it a show? Game?

I’m going to go on a biased rant so apologies

TGCF (also know as Heaven Official’s Blessing/Tian Guan Ci Fu) is originally a Chinese BL novel! It has different adaptations, with an animation, audio drama, a manhua/manga, and a live action. The animation is having Season 2 released in October, and the audio drama is releasing episodes right now till the 29th (episode 5 just released today). The live action is still N/A, but the manhua/manga is still ongoing

The announcement of the release date of Season 2 and the comeback of the audio drama happened on Tuesday and it just made my week so much better. A good fucking week for TGCF fans

It’s recently been my current obsession, and I just absolutely fucking love it. The guy in my pfp is one of the side characters in the novel. Starting with any of the adaptations is fine, but of course the novel has more to it than the others. The first 6 books of the English localization are available to buy online.

The novel consists of the main couple being either really awkward teenagers and an old married couple at the same time. It also has a mix of horror sprinkled in it, and lets the side characters shine with their own arcs. The main couple is between a banished god of Heaven and one of the most powerful Ghost Kings, and just their whole love story is so beautiful. I want what they have so bad

Literally look at them

#yeyarants #my very unbiased opinion of it #lying #I included the main couple because duh they get more screen time and are really popular #if you want to ask about the side characters I can talk about them #mostly my opinions of them lol #idk which mutual this is but I kinda want to know who #you can just dm me and I can go on a rant #if you want me to of course #just don’t get into the side ships because none of them are canon #only the main couple #which is sad since there are 2 ships I like better than the main one #but I still love them regardless #want me to go more in depth?#I can #I just talked what it was in general since that’s what you asked #didn’t go in too much detail #my bad I made this really long #sorry for that #but hey if I get too annoying about it #you can just block the tag #it’s alright I won’t be mad #I’m going to be talking and posting about it so much on October #I really am sorry in advance #Yeya asks

#thoughts about media #dbd #look i know some people are mad #but i think the changes all sound GREAT!#and as a ghostface main who witnessed the changes he's had over the last couple years #i'm pleased to where they eventually got with him #right now he feels really good to play #do i still feel like nightshroud is a bit touchy sometimes? yes #do i feel like leaning is also still touchy sometimes? yeah #but this is bhvr not fucking riot games or blizzard or whoever else that has tons and tons of money and court trials #so rejoice #and DEATH to the iridescent tape meta #i HATE having to rely on the most expensive fucking addon she has in order to keep up with sweaty as fuck swfs #i love playing ghostface knight and hux and i do not use anything higher than a yellow addon on all of them #and i still do well!#can i use higher rarities? yes!#it's the CHOICE that matters #it's the fact it's not a NECESSITY to have the high tier ones that matters #also some of the other changes sound really sick #i like that they are trying to make condemned more threatening while encouraging sruvivor/killer or survivor/killer item interaction #it's not just sadako slugs with iri tape and ring drawing and plays like a miserable soulless comp bastard #and no longer being able to be stunned while demanifested? amazing #they could have just given us that and i would have truly been satisfied #this is GREAT news overall

tweets like this are so funny to me and i see them pop up from time to time like yes they are not canon. they are better off being that way. love on earth

#im number 1 nalu hater and also number one enjoyer i earned the right #i have a lot of feelings about this and while i do have my personal biases (im aromantic and them being vague lets me have my own fun like #playing with dolls in a dollhouse #because im more than down to debate or argue that they proooooobably have romantic undertones and i get why theyre shipped that way #but i personally think its way more fun that theyre a secret third thing its better narratively and i also dont. like main m+f couples oftej #like do you really need confirmation from the text. isnt it so glaringly obvious that they love and care each other so much #theyre like two bonded stray cats to me that you cant adopt separately #and also if mashima has any sense of humour hes not gonna make it happen #if it hasnt happened for 17 years i dont think it should happen now #though i know i am on the losing side of this battle #i know its basically inevitable. but ill sink my teeth into my own interpretation until ill eventually be proven otherwise

Don't get we wrong, I feel hopeful too, specially with the whole network change because it means the series has an actual shot of going back to the way it used to be. I feel like lately the emergencies don't have that spark anymore, so I'm looking forward to see what ABC does with them. Also, let's cross our fingers and think that they'll actually give a damn about promo and they'll use (at least in social media) what attracts more attention... I mean, if the answer is a couple of firefighters that are raising a child together, I wouldn't mind.

However, what makes me mad is that by the time they were working on the finale they weren't sure if they were going to come back or not. From what it looks like, all the characters will get a sort of happiesh?) ending just in case, because again, the ABC move back then was not a sure thing.

They did that with The Resident. Sure, at first it was supposed to be a season finale, but they still did an ending that could be interpreted as both options: season finale or series finale. Well, it was cancelled so at the end they at least got a chance to leave the characters in a good place.

That's what will happen with 911 this season, I believe, because after almost six years the show at least deserved a decent ending if for one reason or the other they were not coming back.

My point is, we know that it's not going to be an open ending, and that all the characters will be left in a good place. I know there are a lot of possibilities, but we are talking about miss Kristen Reidel, it wouldn't surprise me if Buck and Eddie end this season with Natalia and Marisol, representing a "traditional" conclusion for both characters.

It wasn't hard to leave them single, if she truly didn't want Buddie to happen, but she just had to bring two random characters for the last four episodes of the season, right? If I follow her previous patterns, what will happen is that for the general audience, Buck and Eddie will end in "heathy" relationships with Natalia and Marisol, but they will share a significant moment together that's up to interpretation for the internet. Classic queerbaiting behavior me thinks.

I'm aware that now we are far from losing the war, especially if we consider that ABC has a different target audience and that they actually tend to listen to them. So, Buddie truly has a chance of happening now.

At the end, what I'm trying to say is, I feel optimistic for the ABC move, but I'm also frustrated because if that had been the series ending, that woman would have given a poor conclusion to Buck and Eddie just because yolo?) There was no reason to have those two random characters with them.

Buddie has a second chance, but I hope and pray to the universe that ABC will realize what they have in their hands and even if *she stays, they will overule her bad takes, not only on Buddie, but for the show in general, that move was not a cheap one. If they really want for the series to last, changes need to be made.

It's also sad to think that if they had stayed at FOX or if they had cancelled the series, we never really had a chance to win, huh. Homophobia will always prevail, no matter what.

The thing with this, anon, is that mostly I think it's a really fair reading of what's been going on. I just read the information we have really differently.

I definitely agree with you that the emergencies have been meh for a while now, but to me that's just a symptom of being 6 seasons deep into a procedural; a new network might breathe a little more life into it, and I hope it does, but I've never watched a show through a network switch so I'm pretty 🤷🏻‍♀️ on how much it's gonna affect the actual content. Def hoping for more promo though.

I get what you're saying about all the character's getting a "happy-ish" ending because they didn't know about season renewal but....isn't that always how it is? Like, I don't personally see much of a difference between where it seems they're gonna leave off 6x18 than any of the other finales we've had.

And I get why a finale where one or both of the boys are in a relationship with a woman would be disappointing if we're reading it from a "they thought this might be the last episode they were ever making" angle (but I am BEGGING someone to show me what KR has said or done that makes y'all believe she hates buddie. Because I was watching casually through most of s5, I missed all that. And from the show itself, I don't get that impression at all. I am genuinely asking PLEASE i need context). But, while I've always been a buddie girlie, 6b is literally the first time I've ever thought they might actually do it. And I've been really confident since 6x13 and the interview about the couch being in play until the very last scene of the season (and still am) that the closing shot of this season is gonna be the three boys on the Diaz couch. It's just the only thing I see as a possible resolution. Not to say you can't read that as a "open for interpretation" fan service moment, but until I know exactly why people think KR is fundamentally opposed the idea of buddie together, I'm gonna be reading it the way the text tells me to.

Because while I've become a bit of a buddie truther in 6b, they're not in a place where getting together by the end of the season would make....any sense. A lot of people disagreed with me on that, but that's been my stance since like, early s6. Just cuz there was no development for them in the first half of the season at ALL, and we knew how jam packed 6b was gonna be with other plotlines with other characters. They've got a lot of growing to do before buddie canon would even be satisfying imo. I just really believe we might be on that track now.

And with that in mind, here's my perspective on the ending IF they were writing it thinking they might never write another episode again: Buck can and should end up alone at the end of the season. He should really concretely know what he's looking for, in the way he didn't when he dumped Taylor. Having Buck explore the opportunity to date someone who is fascinated by his experiences but not actually interested in him is a great way to do that, imo. Him walking away from that and realizing he needs to find someone who will, in Oliver's words, meet him where he's at. I really cannot see Natalia being relevant beyond the finale at all, and if I'm wrong, I'm gonna start seriously questioning the writers, because they've told us she's not it for him (like, even my friends who watch the show very casually were screaming "NOOOOO!!!" at the screen every time she was mentioned in 6x15).

Eddie's more complicated though. Let's say, hypothetically, they realized midway through shooting 6b that renewal wasn't likely with Fox, and they didn't know whether or not they'd be picked up by another network. Eddie's been on this little journey of self discovery about wanting a partner, and has accepted the fact that he's lonely. Ending the show with Eddie in his single status quo would be sad as hell for the GA! We have to remember, we are not the only ones watching this show, and the vast majority are not seeing buddie as romantic options for each other. That can change, I really hope it does change, I am optimistic that it WILL change; but it hasn't yet. If they were trying to wrap things up nicely, with everyone in a pretty good spot, I can see why shoving relatively-underutilized Eddie with a nice girl would be a good way to do that. Easy to undo if they got a s7, but also a lot easier to convince the GA of a love interest for Eddie being good for him, just because he's not as big of a deal to the show (which I hate. I love Eddie I want him to have the world. But Buck is the main character on this show, let's be real)

That's not to mention that this is all speculation; we don't have any idea what's gonna happen with these two women. I'm standing pretty firm in my belief that they won't end the season in relationships, but I could be wrong. And if I'm wrong about Eddie, I can see why they'd make that choice and I'm not even a little mad at it. If I'm wrong about Buck, and he ends up in a clearly doomed relationship with Natalia, I'm less cool with that, but I can see the opportunities for s7 and assume that they were working under the assumption that they'd get a renewal somewhere. If Buck ends up in a seemingly perfect and happy relationship with Natalia, my faith in the writers is gonna plummet, not because queerbaiting, but because they told us it was doomed in 6x15, and it would make it clear to me that the writers don't even know what kind of stories they want to tell on a micro, episode to episode level. But I really can't imagine that happening.

#anon drop by with your thoughts anytime id love to hear what you think after next ep and the finale too #i don't really wanna touch the word queerbaiting with a 10 ft pole #because i do get the concern #and i get the reaction #but i don’t think its queerbaiting at all #because these two guys are best friends #and theyre each others partner in the main cast of the show #even if theyre both married off to other people we're gonna get the canon couples and also buddie when they divide episodes like that #and thats a really good thing to me? because i love them #and i want them to share screentime no matter who their romantic endgame is #and do i feel like the show is dangling a carrot on a stick in front of me sometimes? yeah #but thats because they're besties and im watching with them with romance goggles on #my real concern is the couch. i am so hyperfixated on the couch that if that resolves poorly i might lose my mind a little #and not even in a 'if its not buddie im gonna be disappointed' way. just in a 'use the metaphor well or so help me god' way #moral of the story is im having more fun with the show now than i have since joining the fandom #and im really confident in the season finale #and i REALLY want someone to drop the KR receipts so i can form an actual opinion on her stance #911 spec #911 spoilers #911 fox #buddie #long post #ask a bean #bean brain
