Don't mind me I'm just collecting evidence for Ray's complete lack of self-esteem self-anything

(I'm shadowbanned which means that fact that I'm tagging everyone is USELESS (although I may have someone to help me out) but maybe it won't be useless later. Also I also cannot reply to comments, and you will not see in your notes if I reblog your post...fun times) @waitmyturtles should thee wish)

Finally pushed over by this post (@burnsuncomet @dewtu @plantsarepeopletoo) because @thegalwhorants that's right, it is VERY SAD

Because is this scene funny and ironic? Yes!

Do I think people (me, I'm people) are going to swing around in 1-11 weeks time pull out screenshot one and comment not on the irony of this shirt but it's poignancy? ALSO YES. (Screenshots stolen out of this post @chickenstrangers)

So I'm starting my evidence collection now...

Also this scene again because it's so awful it deserves to be included twice:

speaks for itself:

this set by @sunsetandthemoon (whose ENTIRE set here is just good evidence, but I promised myself I'd only steal one gif per post)

Ray's face when he sees Top and Mew dancing

gifset here by @plantsarepeopletoo (multiple parts of this gifset have flashing lights)

this gifset by @nick-nellson

Look how happy he is surrounded by his friends!!!

Oh and I'm sad again...

I gave in and grabbed 2 from this one @raypakorn

Since I already broke my rule I'm grabbing another one from @sunsetandthemoon:

This is clearly just the (shit)icing on the (shit)cake of his (shit)life.

Finally thanks to @plantsarepeopletoo

His pure excitement at the idea of doing this project with his friends help...

verses everyone else...

(I'm not really taking it THIS seriously, just apreciating all my feels...also I don't think I've ?EVER actually watched a show from week 1...I normally have 2-3 episodes to obsess over by the time I start. This one ep business is not taking up enough time)

How much of Ray's identity revolves around making his friends (Mew) happy?

How much is he going to break when the ?rich? hotel owner moves into the only space he feels like he has value in?

(and how much is his breaking going to break our best boy Sand?)

Let's see how much Ray(and Sand) can singlehandedly make me cry for the next 11 weeks...It is afterall, a FirstKhao specialty.

(now do I make a similar collection about Sand...or wait till next week hmmmmm....)

I'm going along with the masses and loving the poor boy and his rich (poor) boy.

gifmaker / cc wrapped 2023!

thanks for tagging me my angel @jkvjimin 💜

i tried really hard not to choose all comp sets, but those take the most effort and therefore are what i'm prouder of than a standard set, but regardless...

here are my top 10 fave creations of the year:

bts chapter 1 insta feed // this was an insanely taxing project and is probably the most work i've ever put into anything, but i was really inspired to do it. it took about a week (one day for each panel) and was repetitive, i literally threw out my back by day 3 from sitting working on it that my body was in SO MUCH PAIN, but i wanted to get everything right and make it make sense which is why i wrote up a detail post breaking it down and explaining every decision that went into this. i still intend to make this a series and do one dedicated to their japanese discography (i actually started on one before i published this but didn't like the concept) and for their solo work, but it doesn't feel like the right time yet as things continue to release. but i look forward to it!

cheesy bts valentine cards // this was purposely corny, but the response was unbelievable! i had fun working on it and was so happy it made people laugh and smile. the tags were a joy to read on this post and it's my fourth most popular gifset ever. thank you!

bts guide to troubled birds // yet another corny idea, but i get a kick out of making silly comps and was inspired to make this. i started with jimin's as an experiment because his poem was the easiest to choose and built the rest of it from there, carefully deciding which poem to apply to each member and recreating them from scratch. i love celebrating their chaos in fun ways, so this was nice!

jungkook's sensitive tear ducts // sometimes i get really random comp ideas and spontaneously start making something with no plan. this was one of those times and it is now my third most popular gifset since making this blog in 2020 lol. ofc i'd never gif him upset about anything serious, so i only chose moments that didn't feel inappropriate to include to keep this set lighthearted and humorous.

long live bts (10th anniversary set) // i always knew i wanted to make something with the lyrics of that song because every word of it reminds me of their story. the 10th anniversary was perfect since it literally says "it was the end of a decade". i wanted the set to just be really simple so i went with a more desaturated look and focused more on choosing a scene from each year that fit the lyric per that gif.

love me again mv // this was my first time bothering to gif a music video in 4k. i usually avoid it bc it slows my computer down and takes a lot longer (i also have to reconvert the youtube download to a different file type to get it to play in my kmplayer, it's a whole process) but i waited a few days after it came out because i originially didn't think i could color it when it premiered so i just didn't gif it. but i gave it a try anyway when i didn't feel so pressured and i really like how crisp they came out.

jungkook's bday set // i didn't have a plan for this when i started, but i searched a lot for inspo and finally found something i felt like i could make something with so i came up with this very barbie-esque rendition for jungkook that i'm still very fond of. i purposely didn't write happy birthday on it anywhere so it could be shared year-round. it's probably my fave set i made all year and everyone seemed to like it too!

jimin's bday set // this was originally just going to include songs from FACE, but i decided it didn't celebrate jimin's work as a whole if i didn't include all his solo songs/endeavors so it turned into a big monster. i like how it came out though!

standing next to you mv // this year i was introduced to HD master files, so instead of rushing to download a new mv from youtube and giffing it fast, i'd wait for a higher quality rip from apple music to show up online. the difference is quite astounding. i made gifs with master files for all three of jk's music videos this year (seven, 3D), but i like how this one turned out the best.

vmin comp // just felt like giffing my two favorite people before they left and needed to channel my sad emotions into something before seeing them seperate for so long. i included moments i've giffed before and ones i've never had the chance to gif. i could have made this post so much longer but forced myself to stop lol. i like the pink and blue colors in it a lot <3 i miss them so much

thank for all your support on my work this year! i have lots of (old) new stuff in my drafts to share in the new year so please keep your love coming x

i'm going to tag @userjiminie @userjungkook97 @btsiu and @cordiallyfuturedwight to do this if they'd like to!

i don't have a very creative gifset in the works right now, but i've started this double exposure merlin gifset last night for #giftober2023 day 9 (the prompt is silhouettes/shadows). it's pretty random tbh, just trying to put pretty shots together.

i'm planning maybe 5-6 total of these (i've done 3 already, including this one) i'm just not sure if i should leave them as is or add some kind of quotes from the show? (any thoughts appreciated lol)

[mercurygray]

Hi I sent a request earlier for Brady and “your O.C.”

I’m so sorry. I only wrote your oc bc I totally blanked on Fred’s name at the moment I was writing the request lol. 🤦🏻‍♀️

But I have read a lot of your fics and I adore the characters and the way you write. I adore Fred and Brady. Fred deserves all of the love and I can’t wait to read more.

Please don't feel bad! No sorry! There's a lot of other history and other reasons behind that post and if you're new here you would not know any of this!

When I first joined this fandom in 2020, there was this kind of unfortunate pattern where some users would just leave a prompt asking for a character, or a character 'and your oc' or they'd leave an entire outline of the story they wanted to write but couldn't be bothered to do, or they'd leave the same prompt for five or six people and it wasn't ever about that writer, or appreciating that writer's work - it was just about getting 'more content' for the canon character they liked. And it was always on anon, and they never left comments and they never said thank you and I watched a lot of good writers get burnt out writing those things that they never got appreciation for.

Because to that other user they were just a vending machine. (You will hear a lot of people who were in fandom during that time use that phrase, because a lot of us felt it.)

I'm not a vending machine. I'm a human being who does this for the joy of making other human beings feel things, and I like to know when you want to reach through your computer screen and make faces at me. It's why I'm trying to get better at leaving comments on gifsets and reblogging fanfic that makes me smile, because those people aren't vending machines, either.

I started doing Thirsty Thursdays during that time, and I decided that I was going to be very specific and very intentional about what my prompts are, and what they're for, because otherwise I was going to get a lot of angry people asking why I wouldn't take their request for readerfic. (Answer: because that's not part of my writing practice. Sorry. It's nothing personal.)

So when my random Fred Friend comes into my inbox on anon after almost every single drabble and says thank you, and when someone sends me a picture of a pink dress 'for Marion' and when you, Kind Anonymous Friend, come and give prompts and say you love Fred, that means so, so much to me, because it reminds me I'm not a vending machine. Thank you for doing that.

[lokiinmediasideblog]

I saw an avengers gifset of loki actually using something to rip a guy's eye out...

Ok. Maybe i can forgive the first five minutes of infinity war now. And this is coming from a pro ragnarok

?

I personally like the eye ripping scene lol. And sorry, I don't care about the random old man that got the eye torn out (And maybe he was doing questionably ethical shit too). And I don't give a fuck about Coulson, whom the movie wanted us to care about.

There's just something that annoys me about the Avengers (2012) movie. Has a very "American exceptionalism" vibe to it that makes me want to antagonize it. Loki's the one thing I like from it because he's fun and antagonizes characters I find annoying. Loki's fun to watch.

Not sure what these asks are trying to accomplish. I am a Loki blog. I am biased.

[whumpingale]

your gifs are great!! :) is there any process to you choosing a scene or do you just decide to do one once youve seen it? is there any particular scene youre looking to make a gifset for or that you wish someone else would make? your gifs are very nice :)

Thank youu!!

I have a little list with all the shows and movies that I watched (or read some amazing fanfic of and have only watched the whump scenes) and know have some good whump scenes in them and when I'm motivated to gif something I mostly pick a scene by random and end up watching the movie/series while giffing lol. Also whump lists and the whumpedia help with finding the scenes when I haven't watched the series recently!!

I would love for somebody to gif some scenes from the series Emergency! It's old and not on any streaming services and the scenes I found on YouTube are a really bad quality.

Thank you for the nice compliment and the question :) made my day!

#ask #emergency! #maybe somebody in the tags sees this and would like to gif some scenes 👀

[negrowhat]

Hi!!! Random question, what are like your favorite scenes that you like to go back and watch?

Hello anon! GREAT QUESTION! I'm assuming you mean BLs since that is 75% of my content lol. Let's talk about it!

Most recently, the can tab scene from the last ep of Ghost Host Ghost House. IDK I just love it a lot. It really solidified Pluem's importance to Kevin. Pluem was so shook to see it and him saying, "So you missed me as much as I missed you?" GAWD THAT REALLY MESSED ME UP IN THE BEST WAY!

The beloved "Ah Xu" "Lao Wen" scene from ep 12 (?) of Word of Honor. It was just ridiculously romantic. It sparked some of the best gifsets on this site too. It's such a simple scene but given the context and undertones it holds so much weight for WenZhou and us.

Justin confronting Ethan for cheating on him in Queer as Folk. I couldn't stand Ethan's ass to begin with so for many reasons I really enjoyed their breakup scene. But Randy's acting in that scene was so great, between him shredding his hands on the roses and the way his voice kept cracking. *chef's kiss*

The big Golden Core reveal in The Untamed. Honestly one of the best scenes in the entire series. I had to applaud Wen Ning for setting Jiang Cheng straight. Also the absolute heartbreak in Lan Wangji's eyes as he cried over Wuxian's exhausted passed out body. The way Jiang Cheng's world came crashing down. It was perfection.

In Why R U, Fighter waking up in Tutor's arms and saying how nice it felt to be babied for once. Fighter is a really, really lonely boy and he felt very protected and loved in Tutor's embrace and I rewatched that scene a thousand times. It is so freaking sweet and soft.

Gav and Cai's first real kiss on Gameboys the Series. The way I cry every single time I watch that scene. It was a perfect scene especially with Ngayon playing as they beautifully cry their eyes out and kiss. UGH MY FUCKING HEART. CaiReel are so special to me in general.

Yoo Han revealing his face blindness to Yeon Woo in Color Rush. It's my absolute favorite scene in that series. It just put so many pieces together for the series. THEY WERE LITERALLY MADE FOR EACH OTHER! THEY COMPLETED EACH OTHER!

The 'Daddy' scene in Love in The Air....I don't think I need to explain why...

Win getting jealous of his bestie trying to get close to Tops at the Halloween party in Ingredients the Series. He was just so absolutely petty to his own friend. Tops wasn't even checking for ole boy. He was so into Win that he could barely focus on the conversation with Dome. Win rolling up the window in the man's face was just the best thing ever and his lil shy ass cheek peck! I WAS SCREAMING!

Lastly from Takumi-kun, Gii finding out about Takumi's tragic childhood. I don't want to trigger anyone so I won't say what it was but his parents are trash and his brother was disgusting and Takumi went through a lot that caused a phobia of human touch. Anyways, Gii was clearly affected by what he learned and all he could do was hug his boyfriend tightly and listen to him talk.

THIS WAS SO FUN ANON! I love getting asks like these!

[kateclaire]

hi again! Secret Santa here... :)

I was wondering what some of your favorite things about Claire are? Are there certain ways you do / don't like to see her characterized?

One of my favourite things about her is she's a very fun mix of being a genuinely really sweet and like. sunshine-y person, but also not hiding when she's sick of people's bullshit (getting snarky with the psychic on the phone in her flashbacks, getting mad at the adoptive parents in flash-sideways, insisting Rousseau doesn't hide information from her during maternity leave, a lot of scenes with Charlie, etc).

Re: her being sweet, I really liked in Walkabout when she was the one to suggest holding a memorial service after going through the wreckage, and just leading it herself when Jack didn't want to. Just very earnestly reading whatever random facts they could cobble together.

I like that she's creative (like her plan to attach a note to the birds in par avion, but also her being a tattoo artist in flashbacks), and determined and stubborn. The fact that she's able to be the way she is in season 1 despite believing herself to be guilty for her mom being in a coma, and being ditched by her boyfriend who was going to raise the baby with her, and stuck on a desert island knowing she's about to give birth any day now (nightmare) is incredible. And her being able to break through 3 years of like. brainwashing or whatever tf was going on in s6 to accept help and get away from the Island shows a lot of resilience as well, although it is kind of hard to take that plot entirely seriously with how little information they gave on it.

Oh also I liked her goth phase <3

The main things I didn't like for her in the show is that they sidelined her a lot outside of being pregnant/a mom, and when they needed her for Charlie's storyline or to get kidnapped or whatever. And then in s6 they just didn't bother going into what she went through, and her plot was more focused on Kate's side of things (saying this as someone who loves both Kate and her plot to bring Claire back to the outside world lol, I just wish they'd gotten into Claire's perspective more after not seeing her for a season). I don't think I've seen any super bad characterization for her before tbh, my grievance with fanworks about her was always more along the lines of so many of them being Charlie-focused (they do have cute scenes together! I just didn't like having to wade through 10 peanut butter gifsets before finding anything about Claire herself or her relationships with other characters, but that's more of a 2015 problem I think.)

#asks #anonymous #lss2023 #claire #sorry for the late reply! hope this helps & thanks for asking <3 love to think about Her #idk if this is clear but i do love aaron and think him and claire are super sweet together so def feel free to include him if you want! #i just didn't like how much of the show was JUST about her being aaron's mom at the expense of other plotlines they could've given her

HELLO MY DEAR

So I watched red white and royal blue! It was GOOD! I loved it. I probably wouldn't have gotten around to reading the book any soon so I was glad that the movie exists. They used the word bisexual!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That felt very good to see. The B isn't silent in LGBTQ!!!!! Have you watched it? If not, do you plan on watching it? If yes, what were your thoughts?

I wish we had a sapphic movie like that too. Hopefully we'll get it soon 🤞

Also there was one part of the movie I didn't like, they called both of the men homosexual when one of them is obviously bisexual. I honestly don't like it when people call bisexuals homo because we are bi not half homo half het. But the movie was overall good

HELLOOOO MY DEAR!

It is so nice to hear from you and get this ask! My angel buddy and best friend of 13 years (my way to say pet dog lol) died last night, so this is a wonderful distraction, and your asks always bring a smile to my face.

I’ve heard such good things about Red White and Royal Blue! And I’ve seen the gifsets of it :) which is the tumblr way of watching adverts lol. I haven’t seen it yet, but I think I’m going to need to watch sometime it since you’ve recommended it! ❤️🤍💙

AKDKJSJWJD THEY SAY THE WORD BISEXUAL. Out loud. That’s amazing. I remember when I watching Helluva Boss (same universe as Hazbin Hotel) with @random-friendly-1ntrovert and in episode uhhhh is it season 1, episode 6? I don’t know. But the episode Exes and Oh’s, there’s this one part where a character says “I’m bisexual” out loud and I just. I had never heard a character say that before. I’m not joking. I just paused it to stare in awe at the screen for a moment lol.

Oooo a sapphic movie like that would be wonderful! Hopefully we will get a movie like that soon! 🤞 I know it would make so so many people, myself included, resonate with it and feel less alone 💝 and my dear Sana, I’ll let you know if I ever write one ;)

Quick question! Was it a protagonistic or deuteragonistic character, or an antagonistic character who called them both homosexuals? Like if it’s a character we’re supposed to look up to and is portrayed in a heroic light, yeah that’s upsetting to add in the movie, but if it’s a negative character, then the bi erasure would totally be in character.

Thank you for the movie review! 💝💝💝 and feel free to send me asks if you watch and have reviews for anymore queer movies! <3

✨ content creator year in review ✨

tagged by @alrightyaphroditie @ambivartence @chanrizard love you all <3333 🥺🥺

1. first creation / most recent creation

my very first gifset ever was this one where jaemin freaks out after he realizes he talked about strawberries haha. my most recent set is this one of lee know's eyes :)

2. one of your favorite creations

hmmm honestly, even though they often don't get the most notes (or many at all), my fav creations are actually the ones i make for my moots bc i love seeing them love something made for them 🥺(and seeing them lose it in the tags hahaha) for example, this hyunminsung set; this soft lino set (and the infamous siyuan bias list set i made though i think there have been some new additions in the past month LOL); this changbin set; this tyong set

3. a creation you're really proud of

any of my comp sets!! apple hair lino, glasses lino, bw cap lino, shit lino says, the lino mood sets. i love making them, but they take a while and it's really nice to see the resulting set

4. a creation that took you forever

this lino maniac one took quite a while because i wanted to make all the clips move in sync, sometimes it works on my computer and not my phone so idk if it actually worked lol but had a lot of fun pain making that one

5. the creation that received the most notes

my first linotonin set, i am blown away by it but also maybe not surprised hahaha while we're here i will also plug my linotonin pt 2 and my linotonin in video form lol in case anyone needs a little linotonin in their life rn

6. a creation you think deserves more notes

like kass and sa and siyuan have all already said better, i don't think i necessarily deserve any notes because we're all here screaming about kpop in our little corners of the internet so it's not that deep lol, i'm glad if people like my sets and it brings them joy like it did for me to make them but i make sets because i want to <3 though i certainly appreciate the nice tags that people leave of course

that being said, i am still so shocked that this set received so many notes, like I GET WHY but i truly was just putting some random clips of lino that i liked from that skz talker hahaha. so i guess that just goes to show you, even if you do care about the notes it is hard to predict how many a set is going to get. so i try to remind myself to just enjoy the process :)

7. a new fandom you joined and a creation you made for it

oh man there were a looot of new groups but the big ones would be skz and txt (it truly does not feel like i joined those fandoms only last year in 2022). also nine.i !! some other groups too like n.flying, xdh, oneus, though i haven't made any sets for those. i also started to learn tbz and mx, and learned ateez and p1h names by osmosis thanks to siyuan lmao so you can thank her for the fact that i have now listed 9 new groups even though the question only asked for one

also!! k-actors!! :D

8. a creation you made that breaks your heart

lino eyes set because they make me melt

9. a "simple" creation that you really love

haha.....this was my pinned post for a while (sorry jaemin)

10. a creation that was inspired by another one

the lino mood sets inspired by this one, this mark set inspired by @tyongsies taeyong set hehe

11. a favorite creation created by someone else

there are literally so many i wouldn't even know where to start!! though i will give a special shoutout to nini's secret santa set for me because it is so amazing

12. favorite content creators for the year

okay here we go: @agibbangs @alrightyaphroditie @ambivartence @changbeens @chanrizard @chanstopher @chenleyah @dearlyminhyung @ggthydrangea @hyunebear @hyunpic @jinniebit @jisungsjaistandjeekies @leemarkies @minchanz @minzbins @ohoshi @potatzu @shorelinnes @snug-gyu @strayklds @tyongsies @yyukhei (this also serves as a tag if you haven't done it and want to, no pressure. otherwise this is just a hi and hug from me, love yall <3

#okay this just makes me look like a crazy lino blog #is there even a question here that doesn't have 'lino' in my answer #but i mean honestly it's true so oh well 🙃 EMBRACING IT #also no obligation to do this if u dont want to since it is literally almost february #this was fun to do though ty for the tags friends <3 #tag game

[chloecherrysip]

blog organization + new pinned post!

I have officially gone TOO LONG with my blog being a chaotic, unorganized mess where it's very difficult for even me to track down older posts, so I just wanted to share some tag organization I recently set up if you're looking for something i've done or if anyone wants to peruse my gifsets or headcanon posts or whatever strikes your fancy.

#cherrysip edits - my gifsets or any image-based posts in general!

#cherrysip fic - what it says on the tin! not much here yet but I did FINALLY share the first part of my post-movie fic a couple of days ago if you missed that. :)

#cherrysip hc's & rambling - any post where I just talk forever about headcanon stuff or the mario movie in general!

Also, I just realized that I now have over 200 followers (after blocking all the bots)!? Let me tell you, when I first created this blog because my Mario Movie Mania was becoming a serious problem (and I clearly remember what did it too - that extended look at the warp pipe scene playing over that random interview where you couldn't hear the dialogue well, LOL. I lurked before then but that made me an absolute goner!!!) - I never thought ANYONE would really care. So I just wanted to say thanks for being here!! It's been a wild ride to this point, that's for sure, haha. I know the movie hype is starting to die down but I still have plenty of things I want to make/write so I don't plan on going away any time soon. :)

#pinned post #also i haven't even gotten to talking about all my silly indulgent AU concepts yet lolol #including two that precede the mario movie (alternate odyssey retelling and a roleswap AU) that i love dearly :) :) :) #ONE DAY #but genuinely - thanks to everyone's who hung out with me and been so sweet about the things i share! <3

Im very new to this site

How do I navigate it's kinda confusing and my ADHD keeps seeing colors and I can't figure out how to use things

Help pls 🙏

First of all, hi, welcome to the party!

Okay you figured out asks so yay! If you haven't noticed, theres also a little toggle for anonymous asks if you ever wish to send those, if I remember correctly though you can't send pics and vids on anonymous.

Basic getting started advice: use the search to find tags that you're interested in, it can be Fandom or hobby interests or anything really. You can choose to follow that tag (the option should be in the search bar after you've searched it, if that makes sense) and random posts from the tag will show up on your feed from time to time. You can also go through and follow people who post a lot in that tag that you enjoy the content of. Basic rule of advice for following people is to do it as freely as you wish, but don't feel bad about unfollowing for any reason.

And this explanation is going to be scatterbrained as I mention things as I think of them so I do apologize for that lol

Make sure you go into your settings and set your dashboard preferences to not include 'in your orbit' (or do, but most have their dash in chronological order rather than the more algorithmic version), this way you see stuff just from people and tags you follow.

Great ways to find people to follow are by searching like mentioned before, but also if you notice someone you follow reblogging someone's posts a lot and you enjoy those posts, that can be a great way to find more people.

You yourself can post as often as you want but there's a couple things to be familiar with that would show up on your blog.

The first is likes, which can be turned off (if I remember correctly the option might be when you go to edit your profile)

The second is reblogs, this is how posts get spread around. I like to think of it like likes are you telling the op they did a good job, and a reblog is you running to show your friends what you just found. It is greatly encouraged to reblog things like art and gifsets if you liked them because of the lack of algorithm on this site.

The last is your own posts, there should be a round plus button on mobile (it's been a bit since I've been on desktop but I think it's at the top?) That will take you to the text editor. I didn't llan ahead so this is the only one I have pictures for :)

Things to note: very bottom has the ability to add links, gifs, photos, audio, polls, and the Aa let's you edit the way text appears. Just above that you can add tags, many use tags for organization (I tend to use #gay thoughts for many of my own posts, eith #gay asks being added when I'm answering an ask), but there's also a huge culture around talking in the tags. Many add thoughts about the post in the tags, as anything said in a reblog will always stay with that version of a post, but tags are only visible when viewed from the actual reblog theyre on.

The 3 dots in the corner give you some additional options for your post

You can post it now or later, change who can reblog it, who can blaze it(pay money for it to appear on a number of random peopl's dashes), all that jazz!

Sorry if anything was hard to understand, please let me know if you have any other questions!

betts your obiwan posting makes me want to watch it, as a prequel fan. i havent looked at star wars in ages and dont have disney+ is this worth pursuing??????

i was certain, CERTAIN, i would be immune to Obi-Wan Kenobi (dir. Deborah Chow, 2022). for 17 miserable years i've been adamant that should disney exhume hayden christensen's acting career for the sake of new darth vader content, i would not be among its audience.

i've been angry most of my life about the prequels--not just that i loved them while recognizing they didn't live up to their potential and that the success of the franchise was largely because a mediocre dude had the right idea at the right time 45 years ago. but also what i loved about the prequels went totally unseen by many fans and made me feel very alone and like i was just making things up (i've since found a lot of people who love the prequels in the same way i do).

what made me angriest though was the unfair and wildly offbase criticism of hayden's acting. i can agree the dialogue is weak. the direction is weak. but hayden christiensen chews the scenery and spits it out. he's phenomenal. so i just couldn't bear the thought of even more of that in the year of our porg 2022, after the hatred for the prequels had finally died down in the wake of rise of skywalker which i think many of us can agree sunk star wars to a new low. not to mention the disneyfication of the franchise which pushes out new shiny happy content nonstop so that star wars is no longer an eagerly anticipated event, just another show on tv, fighting for attention against all the other content out there.

i can't tell you what exactly changed my mind. it wasn't like i saw any positive reviews or a ton of gifsets or anything. in fact it might have been the total absence of hype that sparked my interest. four of six episodes had aired and my feeds were still mostly ofmd and tgcf. so i gave the first episode a shot.

as expected, i was not wholly impressed. the first episode is a lot of plot setup. a little boring. i didn't end up watching the second episode that night. but for days after i kept thinking--isn't this what i've always wanted from star wars? a well-crafted character study that takes its time? a thoughtful story about the aftermath of revenge of the sith, the more intricate economic and social consequences of the clone war and the rise of the empire? ewan mcgregor being a dilf???

i guess until now i didn't believe i'd ever see live action prequel-related star wars content made by someone with more respect for the source material than shock value or high tech explosions. and that was silly of me--i loved rogue one and solo. i wasn't super into the mandalorian but i watched it and recognized it was trying to do something new. those were all different to me though. i wasn't emotionally attached to the original trilogy and its adjacent stories the way i'm attached to the prequels.

[some spoilers after this but nothing you couldn't piece together from the fact hayden has been on the press tour]

i finally watched the second episode. darth vader was there. i thought, did they really bring hayden back just to be the dude in the suit? and they did. they did bring hayden back just to be the dude in the suit. and the bacta tank. and a heartbreaking mirage in the desert. i was expecting just random high-stakes plot content until the very end of the series when we'd finally get an ominous peek at vader. but no. he's like. a main character. obi-wan's love for him and his regret at the events of RotS is overt. his love for padme is there too. like Deborah Chow really said "padobikin is canon lol." it's emotionally devastating in a way i didn't think any new live action prequel content could be.

[spoilers for episode 5 here but i've also reblogged about a thousand gifsets of what i'm talking about so if you've seen those you've already been spoiled]

then in episode five we get a flashback. pre-AotC. and i don't know why this was the thing that really sealed the deal for me but it just meant a lot to me that they didn't fully de-age hayden back to 19. maybe they couldn't or maybe it was a Choice. they might have done a little polishing but but for the most part you look at him and know you're looking at a 41 year old man. it's a flashback, yeah, but i can't help but think "this is what he would have looked like."

and so there i was imprinting onto darth vader again the way i did when i was 15. but whereas back then i related to his eternal struggle to have agency in a society that only wanted to exploit his gifts while denying him any real personhood, now i relate to the abysmal feeling of regret, the long-term consequences of a million wrong choices. and i guess i'm just impressed that despite the disney backing, the show leans into the real tragedy of the whole thing and doesn't let up. it assumes that the thing we care about most isn't the fate of the galaxy but the fate of one man in it, and we already know how his story ends.

the finale airs tomorrow and i'm not nervous. it follows the canon so closely that you can easily deduce where the story is going, and even though many dudebros would have you believe predictability is bad, personally i find it exciting to see the cause and effect sequence of a story told over many generations totally out of chronological order.

and what's more, i've been watching interviews with ewan and hayden and getting the sense that they enjoyed filming the show, and that it wasn't filmed on green screen but on something called The Volume and that seemed to make a big difference. i think it was moses (reva) who said, "you get on set and you're in star wars."

on a personal note though, what i'm most excited about is that after nearly a year struggling with the motivation to write and a total lack of inspiration, somehow i managed to pound out 12k words in 3 days of a longform RotS fix-it fic i've been wanting to write for 17 years.

tl;dr Kenobi isn't a perfect show and it does fall prey to the overbloated nature of the undying big budget franchise disease, but it's thoughtfully made, entertaining for casual fans, and cathartic for diehard prequels fans.

ps i can't stop thinking about middle-aged wifeguy anakin skywalker and that will be my undoing.

O, P, and Z!!!

Hi H! Thank you for the ask!!

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?

My personal playlist is 503 songs long, let's see...

"Better Man" by 5 Seconds of Summer. !!!! Oh this is, ironically, my rivusa song! I don't even have to think about it, I've done a gifset using this song before. (Here) In my head is about an older, more mature Rivusa, where Musa has changed and settled into her powers, Riven has experimented a healthier lifestyle, but it's still a chronical bachelor... And then you come and change it all.

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom

Skloom Superman AU.

Sky is the cutthroat, climbed ranks, legacy but trying to prove I'm not here because of nepotism even if my father owns the paper, journalist and Bloom is the sassy, mess of a person newly recruited intern.

There's also a super powerful being lose in the city with fire powers and/or possibly wings and Sky is obsessed, Bloom get the camera - Bloom??

(Riven covers the celebrity section and fucks models and producers, they're also chasing the hell-angel because why the fuck not. It'd be the picture of the decade. Sky is way less amused.)

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go!

I do genuinely think Sky would've made a badass doctor after canon: - steady hands - SO caring, but not to the point its crippling. - zero problem with blood or blades. - wants to save people. - is a fixer, by his own words. - type A motherfucker, not shown as a nerd, but implied to be "top of his class" (golden boy, does all his homework, tells Riven to do his, etc etc) - craves hierarchy, but would actually die in military (or turn evil lol) - Very important: looks hot in white

Hello. It's me. I was wondering if after all these years. Sooo... I've been having a hard time finding the inspiration to make gifs, even though I really want to lol

I had an idea of starting back up with some smaller (and very random) gifsets to see where it goes. BUT don't worry, I'm making my way back to my regular posts, don't hate me just yet 🫶

#watched close recently and cried my eyes #of course the next logical step was to make a couple of gifs lol
