honestly just in general it's very exhausting to try to analyze media that is literally meant to be analyzed, only for the replies to be filled with people arguing not against your analysis, but against the premise that the media can be analyzed at all.
i don't even know what to say about it without starting to really betray my frustration, so i'll just settle with— just don't engage with analysis posts? I'm serious. if you're typing a response to a media analysis post, reread what you've written and ask yourself "is this comment/response against the very concept of analyzing the media at all?" and if the answer is yes then delete it all and go sit in the shame corner. throw your curtains away if you want to so bad and stop telling me that I'm not allowed to hum and haw at the fact mine are blue

Please elaborate on your twst Pokémon headcannons I’m very interested
I had planned on drawing everyone for this (I made a LIST!) but it. hasn't been going well. 💀 soooo here's what I have so far!
Riddle - Roserade (I was going with 'no legendaries', otherwise I would've given him a Shaymin) (and I don't think Togedemaru is actually a hedgehog or I would've given him one of those too) (...they kind of do fit though. hmm.)
Trey - Alcremie (clover/mint cream + strawberry/ruby cream)
Cater - DITTO SQUAD! DITTO SQUAD! DITTO SQUAD!
Ace - Impidimp (I feel like there's probably a better one for him, but I can't think of it)
Deuce - Scraggy (meanwhile I KNOW deep in my heart that this is true)
Leona - Pyroar (but like. a nasty Pyroar. just a grizzly old Pyroar with the shittiest attitude imaginable. they pretend to hate each other but secretly they are a bonded pair, do not separate)

The system feeling when a voice in your head gives input on something you’re doing and it definitely wasn’t your own internal voice but you have no idea who just said that 😶

what i like especially about the pronouns in the goblin emperor is that this language doesn't just have the T-V distinction (aka informal vs. formal second-person pronouns, in this case 'thou' vs. 'you'), it also has informal and formal first-person pronouns. having BOTH of these distinctions in the same language lets you fine-tune your tone by mixing and matching. with only one axis of formality, when you use informal pronouns, are you being familiar in an intimate way, or in an insolent or dismissive way? when you use formal pronouns, are you being polite or standoffish? you can't tell just from the pronouns; there's ambiguity. but a language where you can use a formal first-person pronoun in the same sentence as an informal second-person pronoun allows you to distance yourself (via the formal first) while also being familiar (via the informal second), thereby achieving the conversational tenor known to linguists as Fuck Thee Specifically.

Some critters: Ashton needs to be punished more severely and deserves to be yelled at and I hope physically beat up on by the others. He hurt the Hells! He’s disgusting and abusive. He manipulates everyone every time he speaks. He should’ve died and stayed dead. He could’ve blown up all of Whitestone and destroyed Percy and Vex’s happily ever after. Ashton is the worst character ever.
Me: *vivid flashbacks of Imogen committing literal atrocities that took actual lives* Imogen set off two bombs in Bassuras that caused a lot of people to die. Why is that not being addressed?
Some critters: Well, Ashton’s trying to be the main character now and it’s not fair.
Me: hey remember that arc Ashton was completely discarded like they never existed? Am I talking about the Airship, Yios, or Separation & Reunion arc? hey remember how a lot of the fandom only takes time to recognize Ashton when they’ve done something wrong?? Especially when it accidentally inconveniences another character. Especially if it’s one of the witches
Me: *thinking about the posts of “if Imogen was a man or played by a man she’d be more loved and less criticized” and thinking how the same argument could be made about “if Ashton was a woman or played by one, people wouldn’t be nearly as upset”* you guys can’t even respect the pronouns they already have.
Your best girl Imogen who you undyingly support “women’s wrongs” and “dark villainy” for has done more damage to the Hells than Ashton has. Y’all are so not ready for that conversation. You’ll just throw the word misogyny around again in defense of her, when what you’re doing to Ashton is quite literally double standards.

the way some of y'all talk about certain fanfics because you think their "popularity" gives you free rein to say whatever you want about them is so strange to me
