The Zava plotline would probably have to be reworked pretty thoroughly for me to actively like it, but I do think they could have wrapped it up in a much more coherent way just by setting 3x05 a week or two after 3x04 instead of seven. In canon, the Richmond players attack the West Ham players, lose the match, and get (I think) three red cards — and then we skip past them losing seven matches in a row because… the vibes are off, I guess? And then Zava quits the team, which you can maybe interpret as being related to that losing streak, but that isn’t really implied in the show. But if they’d played Man City the week after West Ham, or maybe lost one match in between, then you get the tension of trying to figure out how to beat a team that crushed them the last time they played while they’re also multiple players down and dealing with the media fallout of their players attacking another team (which would also give them the chance to show Keeley being good at her job) and give a more direct payoff to the set up of Zava being a flighty player who doesn’t want to stick around on a team when things get tough

Listen, i have nothing against the man by the name of Joe Alwyn. I’m sure he’s great. But when tiktokers edited that part in Delicate when Taylor goes “Say my name and everything just stops” and they added Joe Alwyn saying “Taylor” afterward with THE most bored tone and diction of all time, i swear i cackled like a hyena. That man sounded like the physical representation of the color beige, the manilla folder of Taylor’s alleged lovers, not as interesting as the default settings, and they was calling it hot?!?!?????!??!??!??!??!!?!?? Talking bout I understand now why she loves him 😩😩😩????????? Huh????????????????????????

hello writers of the castlevania fandom
can you please stop making Isaac eat pork and/or drink alcohol? also, why does he never pray?
I've only seen one fic where it was done like it should be, and they made him muslim there. he's a north african sufi.
If you don't wanna learn about a characters culture/religion (especially when it's a central part of the character), then don't write them, period.

oscar isaac wearing a star of david AFTER saying himself in an interview “I’m not jewish” and then playing multiple ethnicity and culturally jewish characters (one being a very antisemitic portrayal) is not “proof” that he’s actually jewish. if he’s converting, that’s his business, but he needs to stop pretending he’s jewish for some perceived clout. it’s fucking disgusting and y’all defending him are an embarrassment.

Oh you. <3
the character everyone gets wrong
Mathias. He's not an "idiot who revealed his plan to his friend and expected him to join him" and he's not just a genius. He's a smart, broken MESS with terrible emotional management and the worst coping mechanisms known to mankind, and it becomes even more interesting when you couple that with the fact he is a genius who had the means and power to re-create the Crimson Stone, wich is like, the worst thing someone so bad at emotions and feelings can possess. <3 We saw how it turned out. <3
8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about
Leon being a bottom/sub. THIS MAN DID NOT DESTROYED THE STRONGEST VAMPIRE OF HIS ERA + DEATH ONLY FOR PEOPLE TO SEE HIM AS AN INNOCENT UKE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE HIS BELMONT SWORD I'M SORRY. He can top and dominate too. Come on. > :<
Even personnality-wise. Sometimes I feel like "soft boy" is all people remember him for, when he's also a monsters' ass kicker who is not afraid to assert himself. He has a heart of gold, but take absolutely no shit. <3
9. worst part of canon
Isaac using a light saber in his final battle I'm not sure... but the whole "Julia is identical to Rosaly" thing sure is bothering me. :') Oh, and Elisabetha literally having nothing but a few mentions and a png >:< Even Lisa got more respect. >:<
23. ship you've unwillingly come around to
Idk :<
24. topic that brings up the most rancid discourse
Ignoring Netflixvania exist for a moment... DRACULA SWITCH IDGAF

Wolfy read through that whole paragraph and I watched Daiku's face go into realization that we do that too at times -Lix
Hm, yeah I can see those too. Really comes to show how realistic some of Kai's writings are. I didn't even notice after all the times we've read it
Also holy fuck you have amazing analysis skills. -Wolfy
Yeah I kinda tend to read through things too many times. First readthrough just for fun, and then again as a different reader pov, and then as character 1 pov, then as character 2 pov, and occasionally as "trying to figure out what the author was doing with this" pov. This was a special case though, because I had specifically done a read-through recently where I was putting together a list of Chris' and Isaac's interactions and notable thoughts. The list wasn't ever completed but I had all the bits up to ch20.

Rewatching "Shadow Realms" because I can, and damn get you a man like Isaac who can tick off every single one of your likes and dislikes without hesitation, knows all of your goals and values, AND can rattle off your favourite sexual positions - all with *pin point accuracy* - in a matter of a few minutes with a complete straight face.
