oh my god wait i said i would talk about this WELL i do not really have that much to say but like. ok. luigi is supposed to be the deciding factor in both prophecies right. the guy who's supposed to decide which one happens. and stuff. so the reason i think dimentio's plan is entirely ENTIREEELLYYYY flawed is like..... he decided that if he took luigi's body and used him as a flesh puppet then HE would be able to decide the fate of all worlds. which is just not true. and didn't work. luigi is not just a hot piece of meat as far as the chaos heart is concerned LMFAO that's why super dimentio is such a freaky mesh of luigi and dimentio BEFORE dimentio actually takes control of the body and why when luigi is left behind as the "shadow of dimentio's power" keeping the chaos heart active he looks completely normal

Not sure if people honestly forget or just kind of ignore how Dior explicitly took part in the Battle of Sarn Athrad one of whose main objectives (or at the very least RESULTS) was to retrieve the Silmaril. As if a huge part of the irony of the run-up to the Second Kinslaying isn't that Doriath are the ones who killed people specifically in pursuit of the Silmaril (that were longstanding allies of the Fëanorians and contributed in the wars against Morgoth as recently as the Union of Maedhros, even potential friends re: Curufin, and whose craftsmanship Beren has to thank for being able to cut the thing free from Morgoth's crown in the first place). Dior's connection to the Silmaril isn't just having it passed down from his parents, he actively fought for it (which I'll grant wasn't necessarily his chief motivation and more important to his father, but the larger point still stands). That's the context in which he refuses to even negotiate with the Fëanorians claim.

this entitlement buffy's friends have about insight into her sex life is so fucking creepy.
like hey i get sharing that kind of stuff with your close friends, my bestie and i definitely talk details. but buffy's friends act like it's their god given right to know everything, the instant anything happens. and are angry at her when she doesn't divulge the intimate details of her sex life and private feelings.
not only is that so disrespectful of buffy's privacy, but it is also not consensual of the other person. maybe they don't want all their intimate moments aired out to buffy's friends, her kid sister, and watcher. (and of course the main example i'm think of is spike, so in the case of consent from the other party the scoobies simply don't. care. because he's just a thing not a person.)
but idk i think it is so icky to have your friends (one of which is a guy obviously harboring some sort of claim or feelings for you), your father figure and your kid sister know about who you're suckin' and fuckin'.
this show is always so weird about how they frame sex, and particularly buffy's sex life as viewed by the other main characters. something i've always noticed when watching btvs is how much terms like "slut" and "ho" are thrown around. as if having sex and enjoying it is the worst, most disgusting crime ever. especially (and actually pretty much only) when it's buffy.
and that's how buffy views herself and how her friends do too. and i hate that message. it's so twisted and fucked up. but ig that's what you get when a misogynist writes a "female empowering" show. though some concepts are groundbreaking, everything is undernoted with the most insidious views of female sexuality, power, and value.
the only reason buffy as a character isn't consumed by this bullshit is because smg is fucking awesome and you can tell she put every influence and creative control she could over buffy and her characterization.

someone should make a compilation of rhys darby mispronouncing things. it would be hours long bc a good 10-20 minutes of any episode of the cryptid factor is just rhys struggling to pronounce things. and beyond the podcast there’s just so many other examples!! i would do it myself but i’m too lazy

I reread the books right before I binged the first season of the show and the tv characters are all different from the book characters but like I can’t quite articulate what exactly is different other than vibes. So, please use this post feel free to send asks or tag me in posts all about the differences you saw or want to discuss big or small.
