Cabana's match with Jericho was pretty good technically speaking and was very Colt. It's a shame about that one botch early on but they recovered really well and Cabana looked great. Surprised so many people didn't like it

Darkwing Duck’s* Biggest Fans Haters
*As in the old tv show from the world of DuckTales (2017), not the superhero Drake Mallard assumes the identity of to fight evil
Tumblr media
To fans like Drake Mallard and Launchpad McQuack, Darkwing Duck is the greatest piece of television history that helped shape their lives to become the ducks they are today thanks to its titular hero who never gave up despite the odds against him
To the rest of the world, Darkwing Duck was just another superhero show from the 90s that starred a problematic diva d-list actor that may or may not have died
Opinions are subjective of course, neither are 100% correct nor incorrect but I feel like when the fandom talks about Darkwing Duck it’s always about the characters that would also like the show. So why not flip the script a little? We’ll start small and work our way up to its biggest hater
Gosalyn Waddlemeyer:
Tumblr media
“GOSALYN!?” You might be screaming at your monitor/phone to which I have to say:
“Yeah”
Again we are not talking about the Drake Mallard or his super identity here, but the tv show he and Launchpad are obsessed with. Because frankly, I bet Gosalyn loves doing all that superhero stuff with her adoptive dads. It’s a cool life to live!
Other than the fact that Drake is a huge nerd who INSISTS that Gosalyn do her “homework” and watch every episode of Darkwing Duck, read all the sacred texts (comic books), and playing the original Darkwing Duck video game on the original hardware so she won’t use the rewind or save features that modern games or ROMs have
Like all kids who have had an adult push their interests onto them, she has a little disdain for the show. But not a whole lot since she’s first on this list. I like to think she’s in the same boat as Dewey where she finds the show cheesy and doesn’t really hate it per say and sees why Drake and LP love the show. She even has a few guilty pleasure episodes
But one thing she doesn’t understand is why Drake and Launchpad insist on watching the Darkwing Duck Christmas Special every year when they’re both practicing Jews
Scrooge McDuck:
Tumblr media
Yeah the old man can barely remember Drake, let alone the Darkguy Drake played in that movie he cancelled so I don’t really see Scrooge being a fan of the Masked Mallard. (No, not that Masked Mallard OG DuckTales fans)
If Scrooge did sit down and watch the show, he’d find it to be rather ridiculous if anything. Some vigilante running around dressed like The Spirit or The Shadow or whatever superhero kids are into these days getting slapped around and fighting back just doesn’t seem like his cup of tea
I like to think when Donald and Della were kids they watched Darkwing Duck at the mansion and Scrooge just walked by the room, looked at the TV for a few seconds, scoffed, and moved on with his life forgetting all about that nonsense his niece and nephew were watching
Louie Duck:
Tumblr media
Honestly I always had this headcanon that Louie just isn’t a fan of superheroes. Like at all. He finds the stories all copy and paste, using all the cliches he hates from other genres and putting them in tights.
And don’t even get him started on superhero related adventures! If he sees a sky beam, Louie is running in the opposite direction of it. He’s not dealing with the many different diva supervillains out there trying to take over the world with cartoony extreme measures, he doesn’t wanna be around all that property damage
He does have a favorite superhero tho. Waddle Duck because he gave him a Pep once
Lena Sabrewing:
Tumblr media
She thinks it’s lame.
Gandra Dee:
Tumblr media
This is a no brainer for me. Gandra Dee made herself Darkwing Duck’s biggest hater the moment she heard the duck talk shit about Gizmoduck around Fenton who insisted she does not reveal his secret identity to Drake, because Drake is all he has left
Wanting to respect her boyfriend’s wishes, Gandra decides not to spill the beans but instead add more fuel to the fire by talking shit about Darkwing Duck
And she does not hold back
She’s not ashamed to talk shit on the show. It’s predictablity, it’s cheesiness, the plot holes, how lame it was for its own time, etc
It ain’t her childhood, she ain’t afraid to fight dirty either. She will bring up problematic episodes that depicted races in a not so good and stereotypical light (“It was the nineties! They were different times!” -Drake probably) such as the fact that in one episode Darkwing Duck called a group of Native Americans “primitive savages” or that a non-Asian actor played an Asian character in a sterotypcial manner and that how one of the characters names was “Duck Ling”(Okay but for real, all that shit did happen in the OG show.)
This of course frustrates Drake who is extra suspicious of Gandra ever since he saw her with Gizmoduck and writes her off as a blind fan girl who doesn’t know what she’s talking about
She’s pretty chill about not being into the show with Launchpad tho. He respects her opinions because he’s Launchpad and at the end of the day Gandra is still his friend

I think the fact that so many people want to label Leon/Ashley as canonically "sibling- coded" is because they feel threatened in the way they view other of Leon's relationships, they can tell Leon and Ashley have chemistry and they try to convince themselves that they have a familial bond going on (like Ellie/Joel) so that they can justify not shipping them and making people who ship it feel bad/weird.
Because nowadays so many people can't just dislike something, they have to make up a reason why it's morally wrong and unacceptable so that way they can bully people that think differently and feel like their own personal opinions are objective and right while everyone else is wrong smh. This is mostly the case with younger fans (tho a lot of people older than me does this too lmao) so that's why I don't really find it frustrating bc it's most likely they have limited real life experience. Plus they might not be that good at interpreting canon from contextual clues yet.
In my case though I think a lot of these people are actually doing the opposite tbh because to me it just shows that they recognize that Ashley's relationship with Leon is real and they can't even concede that they're friends in the canon because they know it could lead to something else if followed through in the story, they admit there's potential there subconsciously with how hard they try to make it seem otherwise with nonsense claims. It's like when insecure guys feel uncomfortable but try to seem tough by buying big trucks and having guns on them all the time lmao.
So, I've talked about this before -- about how the "sibling coded" or "problematic age gap" discourse is just modern-day fandom's way of slutshaming and engaging in casual misogyny in a societally acceptable way.
I'm pretty confident in saying that anyone in my generation who slaps "siblings" on Leon and Ashley are probably people who have another ship and have had it for a while and don't want Ashley getting in the way of it, tbh LMAO
Like.... my generation has co-opted the current generation's vernacular, but make no mistake about the kind of bitches we are. We're ship war bitches. That's all we've ever been AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE OUR WAYS NOW fjdskfh
But if we're talking about the current generation...
Media illiteracy is a big factor in this. It's no secret to anyone that the US education system took a massive shit starting in the late aughts/early 2010s, and things like critical reading skills aren't being taught in schools anymore.
I graduated high school in 2007. Two years later, I went back to visit an old English teacher to get a letter of recommendation, and he was lamenting to me that he'd just given up. It wasn't worth trying to explain the deeper themes of Beowulf to kids who didn't care, because the only thing that mattered was getting them to pass standardized tests.
So, now, without an overt, explicit declaration of love or something visually concrete like a kiss, kids literally do not have the skills to parse through a text and pick out themes and tropes and use of symbolism and imagery. They were never taught how to do it.
But there's a more culture-based thing happening here, I think. It's this fucking mess of a cocktail of internalized misogyny paired with learned helplessness, social anxiety, intense sheltering possibly exacerbated by the pandemic shutdowns, peer pressure, and internet purity culture.
I think it's pretty safe to say that fandom is predominantly made up of women and teenage girls. That was true in the 60s in Star Trek fandom, it was true in my generation, and it's still true today. And what I've seen happening today is that young women are absolutely terrified of their own sexual agency -- because the internet keeps telling them that, if you're under 18, it is wrong and bad and unacceptable for you to engage with anything even remotely sexual and how dare you express your sexuality -- and you'd better not do it not just because it's wrong and bad, but also because you are GUARANTEED TO BE PREYED UPON IF YOU DO. SEX IS DANGEROUS ALL OF THE TIME AND YOU'RE LITERALLY TOO YOUNG AND TOO STUPID TO UNDERSTAND ANYTHING SO DON'T TRY TO EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. Because if you're 17 and he's 18, he's a pedophile!!!!!!!!
I just.
So, we've now basically turned an entire generation of young women into the same type of young women who created the BL genre in Japan. These are women who were too afraid to explore their sexuality on their own, and it felt safer to do it with two male characters, because it was always more "okay" for men to be sexual. This is happening here in the West, now.
Slash ships have always been a thing in the West, but not to the degree that they are today. In today's fandom, if you have an M/F ship at all, you are outnumbered by at least 3:1 -- because M/M just "feels" safer for a lot of the current generation.
So, I think young women look at the Remake portrayal of Ashley Graham, and they identify with her. A lot. They're probably around her age, and her personality is very relatable to the kind of girls who play video games. Ashley's clearly introverted, but she's a fast learner who just wants to help, and she's got a good heart and a weird, kind of awkward sense of humor.
And, not only do these girls identify with Ashley, they're probably thirsty as fuck for Leon.
But that's terrifying to them.
Because they have been taught to fear their own sexual agency. The idea that an attractive, traditionally masculine, older man would be romantically or sexually interested in them is immediately categorized in their brains as wrong and bad -- and they don't want to think of Leon in that way.
So... for them, it can't be romantic. It can't be sexual. But there's clearly something there, but Leon would never abuse or prey on anyone so... that bond must be a perfectly innocent familial affection. That's what it is. That's what it has to be, because anything else forces them to face the uncomfortable reality even young women like them go on dates and have sex -- and sometimes, it's with men like Leon.
So, they thirst over Leon at a safe distance through Luis, primarily. Or they self-indulge on reader fic, because that's so much easier to write off as "just a fantasy" and not a statement on who Leon actually is as a character.
And it's just kind of sad, man. It sucks to see this happen to an entire generation of young women.
That's why I don't really get mad when I see the "siblings" shit out in the wild. I just feel sad for those people -- because they can't just say "I don't like the ship." They're so insecure and neurotic that they have to think of a reason why the ship is literally impossible to ever happen so that they don't have to be worried about it.
One day, they'll finally suck a dick for themselves and learn that it's not that serious. It's really fuckin not. Dicks are stupid, and the boys that are attached to them are even dumber.

Swordswoman Showdown Round 2 Part 2
Lightning Farron (Final Fantasy XIII) vs Fa Mulan (Mulan)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Better here in a "preferred character" sense, not "who would win in a fight")
Propaganda below cut
Lightning
She uses a Gunblade. A sword thats also a gun. Said to be very rare because it takes so much skill to use. Does lots of slashing and backflips. Later becomes Champion of A God and sword fights a guy for eternity. Later becomes champion of a Different god and uses lots of different swords; She is dramatic and has lots of character growth and is awesome.
#She fights sephiroth#she has a fire sword for Drama#She gets armor too#how can you say no to that face#you want it she can do it
#there’s 10 hours left Lightning did not suffer to lose#ALL SHES BEEN THROUGH AND FOR WHAT#HER CHARACTER GROWTH IN THE GAME IS SO GOOD#SHES BEEN THRU SO MUCH#I JUST WANT WHATS BEST FIR HER#FOR HER#SHE DESERVES IT APL#ALL#RISE LIGHTNING STANS RISE#WHERES UR ANGER#WHERES UR RAGE
#back to rep my girl because I am NOT done talking about her#like she deserves everything okay#having to grow up quick and throw away her childhood to become her sisters new guardian after losing their mom#having to continuously grow stronger not for herself#but to keep Serah safe#and then eventually the need to want to protect others#her new found family#the fact that she would do so much for them by the time we get the third game#how kuch she had to fight all she had to do for the#the sake of humanity#the things she’s been through#it makes you want all the best for her
#i love them both but come on I gotta rep Lightning 😭😭😭#come on she uses her gunblade like a pro#but I love how she’s not afraid to throw hands either or how agile she is#so she doesn’t have to rely on her weapons at all times#she’s strong too like even before becoming a l’cie she can knock down men -snow- twice her size#she has the skills to back herself up#lets not forget she stabbed a god in the face with a survival knife#she’s just constantly getting stronger and she’s pretty#did I mention she’s pretty because#she’s very pretty
#she comes with 2x Big Sister baggage!#you know how much you love Grizzled Cynical Old Man Acquires Child?#get ready for Grizzled But On The Inside Woman Acquires Child Who Is Somehow Even More Cynical and Grizzled than Her#Idolizes Her and Becomes a Mirror Turned Back Upon Her So She Has To Examine Her Shit#also she’s just so cool#unpopular opinion but I love the feel of combat in XIII#I’m not a fan of super granular systems I love the vibes-based play#watching her flip and slash her way around the field kicks ass#like yes bitch u barely need me here#SHE HAS A GAY LITTLE CAPE HOW CAN YOU SAY NO TO A GAY LITTLE CAPR#they couldve made her a little grizzled tho. for Me.
#Did I mention she can grill up a good steak#but that's all she can cook#She stabs a god in the face with a pocketknife#she punches dudes in the face#she meets a hot australian chick and slaps her and then shows her her tits#She has a suit of armor and a horse cause she a knight#yes i'll propagandize for her in her every poll cause she's perf
#Ok but you forgot to mention how Lightning is literally one woman army#She freaking uses magic and summons her stead guardian and even users those giant ass double edge blades and they fight in unison#She is also very acrobatic and elegant with her moves#Even more so in XIII-2 where she is literally fighting a war on her own and now has access to divine abilities making her more of a Paladin
Fa Mulan
stole her father's sword to take his place in the imperial army. defeated the invading leader and stole HIS sword too.
Soldier who saved all of china; She’s one of the ogs, man, her movie is a banger
i know she's a problematic fave but i still love her :(

only friends ep 3 watch through (part 1/2)
!! the mess is here. the mess is here and so am I
we open on nick catching even more feelings over bostonnick sex montage. oh this is painful to watch. lmao @ the of directors being the ones to give nick the tweet replies he doesn't want to hear though
Tumblr media
I have to say I am such a sucker for the kind of aw noise boston makes at 2:26 it would get me too. but right after this he sits up and says the most manipulative shit about ~we might become something more~ nick baby. get out of there
raysand softest wake up together scene. this is very tender for a one night stand situation. my expectations for what we're supposed to want for them keep getting overturned. what I want for them has remained consistent but not bc of anything rational just bc I'm a simp
Tumblr media
moment of silence for first kanaphan special acting ability where he manages to look like he's gazing softly up at khaotung's character while towering over him
moment of silence for sand who is already gone for ray and realizing it a little
moment of silence for ray who is still flirting having fun and feeling fancy free. oh boy when you torpedo this everyone will suffer you included
Tumblr media
The Friends (tm) are eating and planning a pool party. they are having a fun chat about all the crazy things the cctv they want to put in is going to pick up. you know when you create all these opportunities for the narrative to screw with you it will babes.
Tumblr media
ray remembers he knows a hot musician and volunteers to take care of the djing in a way that is so sus that the rest of the friends get comic whiplash sound effects and an eagle scream about it
Tumblr media
topmew date time. sorry legitimately the only thing I can think about in this scene is how if everyone is dancing to different music everyone will look foolish as heck. forcebook really selling it here
I lied I have another thought and it's that these lyrics they are singing make me feel like the narrative is slapping me in the face
everyone regards me as a bad guy / I'm a villain, no matter how much I love you, I must die eventually / in the end, he's the one who has your love / I want to be a hero, but villain is my role
ok calm down top
if some of that's not metaphorical tho...yikes yikes
*begin vid section [2/4]*
an old familiar hookup comes to flirt with top in front of mew. can't totally read this dynamic. mew is clearly a little jealous but doesn't really have the standing to say anything. much like top's encounter with boston in the shower last week he's pushing away just a little but not putting his arm into it. top what is your game here?
Tumblr media
nick getting boston to help him move lmao. that's right use him babe
Tumblr media
sand is connecting dots. about bostonnick and about the hostel. ding ding ding baby you're all tangled up in this thankless situation. I wish I could have hope about sand and nick being good for each other bc they seem like the two most sympathetic characters this storyline currently has to offer but unfortunately my guess is they will both be too hung up on other people to be any real help to one another. and/or nick's going darkside idk you guys I'm starting to wonder. more on that coming up
Tumblr media
ray wants to hire sand for ~party fun times~ so he goes to his work mom yo to clear it with her first. she says /why are you trying to get me wrapped up in your mess I'm a pure character/ and ray, about his intentions toward sand, rasps out "nothing is suspicious" while clearing his throat and shaking his head very quickly to indicate that nothing is suspicious.
yo's bf arrives on the scene to act as another character pointing out ray's day drinking. sorry ray the narrative agrees it's problematic to hang out at a bar all day when you're not sleeping with someone on staff. yo and bf have a cute moment and ray goes sweet and starry eyed about it.
ray: "can I get one like that?" p'yo: "here comes sand"
Tumblr media
sorry I legitimately cannot continue without taking a moment for sparkly princess ray here. wtf. this look is, of course, aimed at sand but honestly that's not even what's important to me right now
Tumblr media
cut to sand doing some of the most inefficient chopping work known to man while ray stands around flirting prettily with him and asking for favors.
trailer teasing us yet again on their dynamic. ray is the first one to say "you think I want you as my boyfriend? of course not!" while sand takes a long sip of his water and stares into the middle distance. oh sand.
sand calls him an asshole (affectionate)* again and gets up to go. ray grabs him by the arm and asks with feeling if he is really okay with this, which is the narrative reminding us that we are still allowed to sympathize with him even when he's being a little shit bc he understands consent. they have a nice little ~what are we~ conversation which, like—even though we know it's not actually going to work out ok for either of them even over the course this episode—is some pretty healthy communication, especially stacked right up against everything we've had from boston and nick this week. I'm honestly consistently surprised ray is being allowed to be a decent person but I'm not complaining
*nearly every time the subs say "dickhead" "asshole" etc what the characters are actually calling each other is สัตว์ "animal". I get that this is a more commonly used insult in thai but I think it almost holds up as a direct translation in terms of relative weight and I sort of wish it was glossed more consistently somehow. idk someone come tell me more tho
Tumblr media Tumblr media
back at the pool nick meets top, who he recognizes from the photo booth pictures he found at boston's. they get a set of villain zooms, one each top and nick. nick baby don't do anything sand wouldn't do ok?
back to one of nick's online-in-a-dark-room moments. he's stalking top and finding boston comments all over his ig. the camera is not looking kindly on him here. something something the toxicity of jealousy and obsession. nick has real feelings involved so he's already at a disadvantage in his dynamic with boston, but suddenly I get the sense that boston is not necessarily safe, even if he's not going to catch feelings
how is sandray of the messy unrequited friend thing the only safe dynamic of the Big Three
(part 2) (all ofts watch throughs)

What would be the soundtrack to your life? Pick 3 songs for each stage of your life (child, preteen, teen, young adult, adult).
wow this is such a fun question, i love this :)
this was also very difficult to choose but i think i got it down. anything with a * is a song i personally related to at the time/still relate to.
childhood stage
hero by mariah carey
believe by cher
you're still the one by shain twain
bonus track: i hope you dance by lee ann womack
so when i was four years old, i decided i wanted to be a singer. and these songs were the reasons why i wanted to be. i remember distinctively listening to the radio with my mom, and these songs played all the time. the station we listened to was b101 - philly's soft rock station (at the time). i have such vivid memories of this time period, it's crazy. i also have a whole playlist of songs that i remember playing on this station, so if yall want me to share it, lemme know.
preteen stage
tangled up in me by skye sweetnam
love me for me by ashlee simpson
*underneath this smile by hilary duff
the preteen era of life, especially the tail end of it, was when i started getting more angsty, which led me into ppl like ashlee and skye, which then led me into the emo music. but i was also secretly a HUGE hilary duff fan. but since she wasn't cool anymore, i had to hide my love for her lol
also fun fact, i performed love me for me in a talent show in fourth grade. i didn't win, but it was one of the only times i've ever perform solo, especially that young.
teenage stage
take a breath by the jonas brothers
*alibis by marianas trench
*what a catch, donnie by fall out boy
bonus track: *stars by switchfoot
the jonas brothers are the reason i'm still alive today, honest to god. even tho i fell in love with them when i was 12ish, i'm gonna count them for my teenage years since that's when i was active in the fandom and constantly paying attention to them. i also found marianas trench around my early teenage years too, technically even before that, but they became major in my life as a teen. same with fob.
the album what a catch, donnie is on, folie a deux, i didn't like at the time it came out (2009). cut to me in junior year of hs, so 2013ish, i was IN LOVE with that album. so much so ppl knew i listened to that album on repeat all the time. to this day that album fucking slaps.
young adult stage
*caught in the middle by paramore
*that green gentleman by panic! at the disco
*astoria by marianas trench
bonus track: good day by dnce
i know that panic are problematic now, but back when i was in college, the drive up to my university, i would listen to the entirety of pretty odd the whole way. it was the only thing that genuinely calmed me down and centered me before school. i think hearing "things have changed for me, and that's okay" really helped me. bc this was such a dark time for me, since two out of the four years i went to college i was suicidal.
caught in the middle, i remember when that album came out, and hearing that song on vacation with my family and just immediately feeling connected to that song. and astoria was such a good time capsule of my life at the time and how it felt to me. and good day… me and my mom, any time we were in the car, would listen to dnce's album, and we loved this song lol still to this day too
adult stage
*the grudge by olivia rodrigo
*so much for stardust by fall out boy
*crave by paramore
bonus track: anything but me by muna
these were a bit harder to pick, bc i feel like i'm only just starting to feel like an adult. but i'm thinking anything from 25 thru to now counts. and that's when a lot of things started changing for me. i've also been reflecting a lot more, which is how i relate to songs like crave. so much for stardust really feels like what the last couple years have felt on me in a way; thinking life was so much harder before but now realizing no - this is hard. and the grudge is just the perfect embodiment of my ten year friend with my ex best friend ending.
but not all is lost. bc anything but me really is how i feel now. i would also like to add another bonus bonus track: the art of starting over by demi lovato. that song also kinda encompasses me beginning a new, and trying to figure everything out. i'm hopeful, but not sure yet of what to do.

yoinks from @seanettlles
What ship were you completely obsessed with as a teenager, but now you don't care about anymore?
I wouldn't say I don't care about them anymore bc they will always always always be so dear to me but HongIce. Mainly bc Hetalia is kind of dead in the water at this point, nor do I want to touch the series with a ten foot pole at my great age (the tumblr rp comm still slaps tho. love and miss y'all)
Which ship would you consider your first one?
Again, HongIce lmao
Your first fanfic was about which couple?
My first published fic was Bruno/Javi lmaooo I am cringe and I am free
First fic I read I could not tell you. Probably hetalia, den/nor or hongice but idk
Do you remember the first couple you saw fan art of?
Honestly I cannot remember I have been online for too long. Again probably one of the 2345434 hetalia ships
Have you ever gotten into ship discourse?
no I avoid that shit like the plague
Did you use to have any NOTP or have one currently?
I don't think so!!
Who were the last couple in the last fanfic you read?
solangelo.............. disregard the fact I'm only on son of neptune re: the actual books
Currently, do you have any OTPs?
any and all iterations of tío trio (bruno/milo/javi) bc me n lex are Normal About Media. Also renga (sk8 my beloved) and all lovesquare but marichat specifically
Is there any couple that, to this day, that you are extremely mad about not getting into?
nah
Is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they're kind of interesting?
I don't think so????
Do you have any ship that, in the past, would have been considered normal but now you would be cancelled over?
hopefully not lmao!!!
What is your favourite crack ship?
I don't think I have one??? unless you count bruno/oc lmfao
What is the couple you read the most fanfics about?
probably lovesquare. the miraculous brainrot was Real
What do most of your ships have in common?
golden retriever/black cat dynamics
What do you absolutely hate in a ship?
romanticised abuse. I do believe that all content (even that deemed as "problematic") has a place in fiction, however you have to be aware from a reader standpoint whether something is toxic and abusive. Fics that treat abusive dynamics are purely romantic and something to strive for are. not my thing.
not tagging, steal if you wanna!

bro sometimes i get real confused about why so many people straight up hate minthara when they havent even TRIED her route. oh there's your answer right there. how could they like her when they have no idea what kind of person she is? also the fact that she's not fleshed out because of all the bugs, which is a damn shame.
and then there's also the reality some people live in that if you arent willing to commit war crimes for drussy (ugh, it's not like i didn't do it for this too but reducing a whole ass character to one sex scene is so disgusting) she's not "worth it". i would kill for larian to make her recruitable in a regular party because there's SO MUCH to her. i would wait years if it means there's as much content for her as there is for origin characters. and to the people who're gatekeeping her bc "if you cant handle being evil you dont deserve minthara" listen. fair. but i want more people to see her beyond The Sex Scene and The General Power Hungry Evilness. she's so much more than a one dimensional character a lot of people think she is and it's real obvious when they never take a look beyond her surface. but theyre willing to make excuses for Other Characters.
no shade on astarion lovers (and there are a lot of those) but what makes it so your traumatized horrible man is more worth exploring than my traumatized horrible woman? the level of devotion she exhibits to tav suggests that while she may disapprove of your actions she'll stand with you no matter what you choose (and honestly the bad ending proves that it's even to HER detriment, not that she knows that but there's an argument to be made for if you knew what would happen, would you still pick it? and therefore opportunities for character development). she's no less of a wonderful companion than all of the origin characters. in fact most people think wyll is bland af and yea, i agree. i romanced that guy in my first playthrough as astarion (which btw completely blinded me to what a Terrible Little Vampy Boi he actually is because i was the one making his choices) and i was like dude can this guy just be interesting. not that that's necessarily a bad thing...and wyll's probably the greenest flag companion there is because of how boring he is.
anyways my POINT is. all of our fucking companions are traumatized in some way and have a shady/sus past. why is minthara not worth "redeeming" (by this i literally mean i want to make her happy and not because i want to fundamentally break what makes her who she is, then i'd be no better than the absolute. but if you WERE to change someone it would be a slow and long process and there would have to be a lost of trust and openness, which from the way she's written i believe she's completely willing to share with tav by the end). i want to say this is because there's simply not enough content for her (and it's true) but also that just leads to the conclusion "my opinion of her is tbd because there's not enough info" and not "minthara evil therefore bad". but even with the content we're given if you think that her upbringing didnt completely fuck her over in a way that would take years and years to unlearn and heal from and That's Why She's Like That...not saying it's an excuse but it's a damn good reason. it's not that hard to recognize what makes a character good and the parts that you can poke and prod at to start making them question their worldview and also at the same time not be an apologist and be like "she did nothing wrong" (i would still say that ironically tho)
this has already been too long im just so fucking tired all the time of people who enjoy Other Terrible But Ultimately Redeemable characters and then turn around to slap a label on minthara when theyre formulaically the same because all of our companions are Problematic in one way or another. i guess some of them are just more palatable to you. i've also tried to keep this civil but i have So Many Words for astarion/shart/laezel enjoyers that dont have anything nice to say ab minthara. there's a reason those characters can make an actual party even if you slaughter the whole fucking grove

For the ask game: owen from 911ls and zuko from atla 👀
owen
sexuality headcanon
bisexual
otp
billy/owen because they fucking hate each other and I think it's hilarious
brotp
poor judd is always dragged into his bullshit 😔
notp
gwyn deserves so much better I'm not sorry
first headcanon that pops into my head
he probably has a tattoo in a very embarrassing place
favorite line from this character
ok I will give him this one win: "126 is a family. These uniforms bind us tighter than blood. Like family, we argue, screw up, let each other down. But as long as we keep fighting for one another there is no challenge cannot rise to, there is no crisis that we cannot overcome. This building stands today not because of its bricks and mortar, but because of the heart and soul of the family inside of it" because fuck yeah, they are a family <33
one way in which I relate to this character
annoying bitch representation ig
thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character
literally everything?? but especially how he makes EVERYTHING about him. even things that are completely unrelated. like. does he ever get sick of the world revolving around him??? does he???? and the other thing is how when he had cancer, the biggest thing he was worried about was his hair and his dick. like. maybe I'm just biased because my family is full of people dying--literally dying--of cancer but that shit was like a slap to the face. I'd be so embarrassed if I was him. imagine telling your son to his face that you care more about your hair and your fucking abilities more than you care about the very real, very damaging trauma that comes from watching a parent wither and die right before your eyes. the ls cancer storyline isn't just annoying, it's offensive (to me, at least) and a big part of it is because of owen's attitude
cinnamon roll or problematic fave?
problematic. not my fav. just problematic <3
zuko!!!!!!!! my baby boy!!!!!!!!!!!
sexuality headcanon
he's the gayest little guy I've ever laid eyes on. I've stayed silent on this issue long enough
otp
I'm a zukka truther at heart but I also think jetko has the potential to be funny
brotp
zuko and toph!!! lowkey wish there was an ep before sozin's comet where they hit the town and caused some problems together
notp
zutara. I'm sorry but it's true ,, it's just. a painfully straight ship no matter how you twist it. doesn't pass the vibe check
first headcanon that pops into my head
he's also the most autistic guy to ever exist so jot that down
favorite line from this character
"they don't see our greatness. they hate us, and we deserve it" yesssss boy recognize the wrongdoings of your people and fight for redemption not just for yourself but for your nation yessssssssssss
one way in which I relate to this character
autism <3 also family issues (I haven't been burned in the face tho <333 thank fuck)
thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character
ghsldkfjsg every time I watch him re-introduce himself to the gaang in s3,,,great job little buddy that's the worst anyone's ever done it <3
cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Eremika and Inukago are the only anime couples I ship bc normally I find them so problematic!! But Eren and Mikasa are more special to me. He’s like “Mikasa with another man? I don’t want that!” and Mikasa absolutely hates the prospect of Eren even looking sideways to another girl. But Inukago is like the sweetest
I have some problems with Sasusaku because it’s so problematic in-verse omg. Like I just think Sasuke needs a good therapist for real. For the same reason I can’t ship Light and Misa. Meanwhile I can’t unsee the homoerotic context with Naruto lol I know it was not intended but it just slaps me in the face
I have shipped SS since I was a young child lol, since the first grade 😂 for me it's always been there, and although I wish Sasuke had done a little more grovelling before he got his girl, I'm happy that they ended up together! I've never really seen the homoerotic subtext of naruto, although I guess I can see how ppl would think that, I've never seen Sasuke and Naruto as a possible ship at all. It's really funny tho, like with BNHA I can 1000% see why ppl ship Deku and Bakugou 😂 it's really interesting how many different interpretations there are. Eremika are like one of my comfort couples tho lol, I think it's bc I relate to them so hard!

The Musketeers Reaction: Sleight of Hand
Jezebel (@typicalopposite) reacts [with occasional asides by Wench (@scripted-downfall)]
Note: Wench was slightly absent for the first bit of the review, but her comments pick up as time progresses
– – – 
He becomes a musketeer right? d’Art?  [Maybe, maybe not]  Fair enough
Oooof police brutality
Harvey Dent!
Well, damn... That’s a rat
I thought that was Jamie Kennedy  [I don't know who that is]  Movie whizz from first scream movie
You’ve heard about d’Art. Although you shouldn’t care cause you’re married. ☠️
Ooooop- He ded.  Well, unless it’s a fuckery
Oooop! I was right
All the prisoners are going free
Isssa stampede
Well, damn  [Thus why he said they'd just let him walk ou- Oh.  He just said that, but whatever]  Lol!
Ack
Oooooop Flirt is gonna be… flirting with the queen next  [Not telling]
I thought he was gonna kiss her ☠️☠️☠️  [I think he almost did]  Buddy you’re gonna get her shot in the woods too, dammit!
Well, I mean she was just behind the door. ☠️😂
[Only half?]
What kinda of idiot would overlook that?  
Um, sir, you underestimate him  [I can't tell whether to suggest that you meant 'underestimate her' or 'overestimate him'... this is d'Art and Milady we're talking about: two ends of the competence spectrum]  
ACK! ACKKKKK! NOOOOO! JUST TELL EM THE TRUTH! ACK! ACKACKACK! [It's important to consider at all times, btw, that their medicine sucks. Gangrene is still a concern, so any tiny wound is problematic.  Any hand injury basically ruins it, for example, which would devastate a swordsman like Athos.  A head/eye injury would spell doom for Aramis the marksman.  Et cetera.]  Ack 😖😖😖😖
I 😂😂😂😂 I swear.  I thought y’all were just joking about d'Art being dumb. But it’s a running thing in the show too.  I love it
Porthos like well damn. This little hoe  [Did you see his expression tho?  She said "bravest of the king's musketeers" and he goes (while bowed) bitch wtf????  And then Aramis goes "only among the bravest" and he goes "better”]  Yes  ☠️☠️☠️☠️
Buddy you and the married women
“The one you supposed to give me!”  Flirt
Oooooof He is going to get some… Uh- ☠️☠️☠️☠️ [He keeps kissing her for cover]  DAMMIT DART  SHE IS MARRIED
THE LIP BITE
😩😩😩😩 this woman!  [Def stupid, my dear]
This man!
Did, uh.. did no one see the musketeers show up… and go in the house where he is  [Don't think too hard abt it]  😂😂😂
“What do you suggest?”  Something stupid of course
[Flirt keep getting slapped]
But she is happily married.  So loyal. Much faithful.  Very… in love with d’Art
[Many; d’Art dum]  
What could possibly go wrong 
Oooop-
Buddy.  It only takes one turn to see it’s locked
[Oh he'll definitely buy Milady’s self-defense claim now (not)]
This woman kisses so strange
Bruh. She just vamoooshed
"No one saw me" except like 10 people
– – – 
Jezebel: Main thought. I see what everyone means about d'Art. Buddy. There’s just no brain in that head
Wench: This is why he be my least favorite 
Jezebel: Normal Anon’s too 😂😂  And will likely be mine. Cause 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 stupid characters in shows like this… get people killed. I worry
Wench: I think he manages to avoid that actually
Jezebel: Thank god ☠️☠️
Wench: But like I said… Mostly only one important death that I recall
Jezebel: From the whole show?
Wench: Yeah, that I can think of.  Again, there might be things I forgot or you might find a character more important than I do and thus mourn when they die.  But I doubt it
Jezebel:  💀💀💀
Wench: Also, yeah, literally… d’Art and Aramis are both idiots tbh
Jezebel: Fair ☠️☠️☠️  And Athos hasn’t really been prevalent this one.
Wench: This is true… But he did have badass fight scene.  Technicallyyyyy
Jezebel: But erm… Flirt and Port be Uh. They be… welp.
Wench: alskfdj I knew you’d say that.  Overall character ranking?  (tbh, it's valid to have a favorite, least favorite, and tied for high second… that’s what I have)
Jezebel: In decreasing order!  Flirt -> Port -> Athos (idk his name just spells easy) -> Married lady -> Dumdart
Wench: How dare you
Jezebel: Nooo Athos was supposed to be before Port actually
Wench: askdfj I’m skeptical
Jezebel: I was thinking Port
Wench: Mmmhmm.  This feels like you’re lying now, ngl
Jezebel: ☠️☠️☠️  Fair… But I’m not 😂😂😂
Wench: Final ranking, then?
Jezebel: Flirt -> Athos (idk his name just spells easy) -> Port -> Married lady -> Dumdart
Wench: Aight, on with the show!
– – –
*OMINOUSLY opens fan*  “I don’t remember”  Yeahhhh ok lady
[Chickadee's flirting with Flirt… You gonna let that stand?  :)]  ☠️☠️☠️☠️ Everybody flirts with Flirt
I’m just waiting for someone crazy to do it. Like Cardinal.  That would be crazy  [It would be, but also strategically unwise... the Cardinal only gets power because of his influence over/relationship with the King]
Poor queen
["My father never shirked public appearance, no matter the threat" "Your father was assassinated" aslkdfjlk]
That logic… Is very stupid
Im such a hoarder; that castle would be filledddddd… It looks so empty
[Also, to be completely fair... This basically does sum up a lot of Athos' character.  (re: your earlier statement that he's not been prominent in it)  He very much is a duty-/honor-driven character, so he's often the one focused on the mission.  There are exceptions, but he's usually the "sensible" one]  Good good! Someone has to be!  [As I said, there's a reason I liked him asldkfj]  We got Flirt flirting with everyone, Port flirting with Flirt, and d’Art being an airhead
[Imagine being that pressed about a single diamond with as much money/privilege as the King has alksdj]  ☠️☠️☠️☠️
Why is Port’s hat so big!? Sheeesh! 😂😂😂😂  [And why is he holding the paper out into the rain 😭]  ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
Ooooop- [Good job, d'Art, that went well asdlkfj]  Sweet lord  ☠️☠️☠️☠️
Ooooof… That’s the gunpowder, right?  [That’s the gunpowder]  Oh, man
Kaboom
d’Art’s like. Well shit
[Tbf, I don't fullyyyyy blame him for this.  I called Vadim's plan the first time I watched it, but still]
Bruh, my nerveessss can’t handle shit like this! 😂😂😂 and I know he ain’t about to die
[Did you hear who called out for Aramis, btw?]  Port buddyyyyy
Sweet lord… My anxiety is going crazy
Runnnnnn Dumdart!!  Runnnn!!!
Kabooooom!  [Indeed]
[Bruh, hold up.... that was the diamond from Sherlock Holmes aldkfj]  Wot?!
Welp she ded
He ded  [Poor Felix :(]
They not ded tho!  [Indeed!]
Isss a ghost!  [I knew you were gonna say that alksdfj]
Isss a d’Art!  [I did not know you were gonna say that aslkfdj]
I really hope he says at some point “I’m a musketeer.” Since they said soooo many damn times “I’m not a musketeer.”  [He's not yet tbf… He has to earn a commission from the King]
Again I repeat (since you didn’t react to it earlier ☹️) Harvey Dent  [*simultaneously* That was indeed very Two-Face… That was exactly how Dent died in... What, Dark Knight?]
– – –
Jezebel: Did the cardinal have a part in this?  Trying to kill the king?
Wench: Nope.  To be honest, it's really unwise for him to kill the King.  For one thing, a lot of his power comes from his relationship with that specific King.  First, I think a new king could unseat him as First Minister (though I'm not fully sure).  But also, Louis is easily manipulated, whereas another king might not be.  Also, more importantly, there technically isn't another King.  That's a bit problem in this season, in fact; kingship passes on by bloodline, but Louis/Anne don't have a son, so, if Louis dies, succession is a serious issue.  All in all, the Cardinal Does Not Want the king to die
Jezebel: Ahhhh I see 🙂 ‘Cause I was confused af why he didn’t seem like a bad guy this one (He was talking to the musketeers and stuff)
Wench: Yeah... he's not really bad.  In general, I mean?  He's pretty true neutral, actually.
Jezebel: Minus killing the woman
Wench: No, even then… That doesn’t automatically rule out true neutral.  True neutral means that you don't really care if you're following the law or not, if you're being good or bad; it's a pretty self-centered stance, at least in my experience.  He really does care about the state staying preserved/not dissolving into chaos… but his perception of what's good for the state governs his actions.  And his personal goals center around his own power/influence.  In his eyes, Adele betrayed him; thus he harms her.  In his eyes, tearing down the king's guard by framing Athos is good because that leaves the king more reliant on him, so he can ensure that the state progresses according to what he thinks is right (and he gets more power).  He's highly neutral.  So you'll have episodes like the last episode where he's the villain, and episodes like this one where he's working to protect the king.  Even the most villainous Richelieu gets?  He's still not really... evil (still in D&D terms).  He's acting the way he thinks his best for him/France.  Whether it's true or not is a separate question, but yeah.  He doesn't really care what he has to do to achieve those goals, so he's not actively trying to make the world better/worse.  He manipulates the system, but breaks the law whenever the reward outweighs the risk.  He's trying to preserve himself, and France by extension.
Jezebel: ☠️☠️☠️☠️ well that’s makes a lot of sense! I was so confused ☠️😂😂
Wench: Yup!  Btw I am STOKED for next episode… A lot is Athos-centric :) (And the rest is Porthos-centric, which is also awesome... though also sad)
Jezebel: Ooooo! 🙂 yusssss! I want to see Athos' character moreeee! 🙂  I still love Aramis! But I am ready for next episode too now to start loving Athos
Wench: Highly disappointed you don't already love him; for shame!  The intro scene was freaking priceless, I'll have you know!  And at least he doesn't make horrible decisions like flirting with the literal Queen!
Jezebel: You are not wrong 🙂 shush
Wench: Nevahhhh
Jezebel: Anyway… I just 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 I just don’t understand stand. The urge. Like I don’t dislike sex. At all. It’s quite nice actually ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️ BUT I don’t understand people getting themselves in these predicaments with it like! YOU HAVE HANDS 😤😮‍💨☠️  Control yourself!  Same with d’Art! And his little whatever he has with Married Lady. And then the whatever he has with Milady. And it’s just. Sir.
Wench: alskdjf All very fair
Jezebel: And I love how d’Art was just borderline incompetent the whole episode. (I know that’s a bit over dramatic) but he was just careless with shit, and then just miraculously almost easily beats the guy in the final ghostly showdown ☠️☠️☠️
Wench: I definitely get it... and it kinda continues.  He's consistently the young, less competent one, but he's meant to be... you know, endearing.  He's learning, too, if I'm fair.  Which I make it a point never to be, but shhh (/hj)
Jezebel: Like the whole episode was just selectively DumDart like managing to get in with the bad guy then making every dumb decision after he does (or so he thinks he does… which he should have never just assumed the guy believed him anyway! Like he said he could read a person’s eyes. And he knew he was lying there so he should have smelled the bullshit ☠️😂)
Wench: Right (I can tell you’re still typing so I’ll respond at the end)
Jezebel: And d’Art, who we already know is just very him, has got this weird will they/won’t they thing going with Married Lady. And his blind fascination with the other lady (Milady)… who framed him for murder
Wench: This is very true
Jezebel: Then you got Flirt who just loved a married woman to her death (even though he doesn’t know it yet) then decides “you know what will take my mind off her…. Another married woman!” BUT NOT JUST ANY MARRIED WOMAN… THE QUEEEEEEN
Wench: asdflkjaldskfj  Yeah :)
Jezebel: Port was very quiet this ep. But his hat is large and I love it!
Wench: alskdjflakdsjf
Jezebel: And Athos was quiet too. But probably ‘cause he was contemplating finding a new career path because his comrades are all a little slow in the brain.
Wench: This is basically their dynamic throughout the show, to be fair.  Literally, it's a resting state.
Jezebel: Poor Athos ☠️☠️☠️☠️
Wench: I adore him
Jezebel: I love it! 😂😂  Next episode tomorrow? 🙂
Wench: YESSSSSS

yo yo this is my first post on the hellsite. so hello hi, my name is Steve (you can call me Steven tho), I am 18 (bodily 17), my pronouns are he/him (I’d prefer you just use my name, sometimes I just don’t feel like pronounce), I am arospec and homosexual with an exclusive attraction to men — based on their gender ofc, don’t care abt your down there — and enbies who are man-aligned or whatever. i don’t feel too much romantic fluff and am not into it, but i’m still positive about romance overall.
here are some of my stances, takes, some stuff abt me in general idk, to help you out in (not) interacting with this blog muahaha:
gays should have the exact amount of rights as straights, but preferably we should be liberated from shitty heternormative society
i hate cancel culture, but i love people being taken accountable. don’t police others for liking a “problematic” person, just point out if they’re a dick sucker.
i hate terminally online shit so much pls don’t bring your terminally online bullshit on this blog. YOU WILL BE IGNORED AND/OR BLOCKED.
people whose sexual action is being into children or into animals shouldn’t be here. you all make me throw up.
don’t come here if you unironically say “slayyyy” or “you ate 🤪” or any other white queer appropriation of AAVE every 5 seconds. you can say “slay” or any other AAVE phrase, but if your skin looks like milk and not like espresso coffee, then you’re on thin ice.
people who are like “umm bi lesbeans aren’t real 🥺🥺🥺” who gives a shit who gives a shit WHO GIVES A SHIT??? don’t come here if you’re like that.
people who are against the ocean turian/uranian flag (don’t care + didn’t ask + white + L + ratio) shouldn’t come here at all. i could give less of a fuck. uranians be damned, THE FACT WE HAVE FLAGS OF OUR OWN IS ENOUGH. SHUT UP ALREADY AND ADMIT THAT ENBIES CAN LIKE BLUE TOO, WHY DO YOU GENDER COLORS? or “nooo they stole it from lesbans 🥺🥺🥺” WHO GIVES A FUCK ?????!!!!??? ITS FINE TO TAKE INSPIRATION Y’ALL + THE POINT IS THAT THEY MATCH YOU BITCHES
i am, generally speaking, a leftist. I appreciate this whole idea of workers owning the means of production but not only. I also appreciate this one thing, it begins with an A, arachnids or something, idk. oh, anarchy!! that one!!! yeah, if you’re a hardcore ML, maybe this isn’t the place for you.
I am Christian so please don’t disrespect my religion. I am not practicing but I still believe in my Lord Jesus Christ, for only He can save me from this hellhole. i think he’s fine with homosexuals too, the Bible generally condemned pederasty (the totally not MAP act of older men having sex with younger twinks during the Ancient era, which ofc is a stupid as fuck practice!!!), NOT HOMOSEXUAL BEHAVIOR BETWEEN TWO CONSENTING ADULTS HOLY FUCK !!!! Plus if y’all don’t allow us to marry, am I supposed to forever not fuck a man?!?? (no sex before marriage y’all!!)
if you’re younger than, idk, the age of consent in most European countries, you shouldn’t be on this blog. I may post some… slightly NSFW stuff from time to time. (NOT an NSFW blog tho!!!!)
anyone who says “fiction doesn’t affect reality 🤓” or “fiction doesn’t affect reality 1:1 🤓” is a mindless zombie who can’t be critical of what they consume and tolerate the fucked up portrayal of… MAP behavior, of Catholic priest behavior, ya know, in a “haha this is good quirky soooo romantic woowww 🤪🤪🤪” way, and you shouldn’t even look at me in the eyes. yes, you know yourselves.
I LOVE MUSCULAR MEN!!!! I LOVE JACKED UP MEN WHO ARE MASCULINE JUST LIKE I AM!!!! I LOVE MEN WHOSE MUSCLES ARE HUGE!!!! I LOVE FIT MEN!!!! MEENNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
I love a bit of footy, a bit of pop music (ya know, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, that shit slaps and is not for effeminate twinks or white valley girls only), I love Kumalala especially, I uhh love linguistics, I love many things… except for love itself 😌.
Anyhow ahoy, i hope y’all will… tolerate me i guess. host calls me “problematic” and has beef with me, tell @anarchobasil they’re wrong whenever they shit talk abt me pls. When I say “probelmatic” stuff I am ironic 99.9% of the time. I am a very huge ally for everyone, don’t care. and uhhh that’s it????
