Someone who didn’t realise I was in earshot: I hate Matthias and I think his redemption arc was stupid because he was evil and he should never have been with Nina because he was prejudiced towards her

Me, pulling a portable projector from my bag and ushering everyone in the vicinity into chairs that just materialised from nowhere as I start handing round a syllabus and producing a binder full of notes: Well, actually -

We’re always talking about the “what’s the best way to steal a man’s wallet” scene, but I think we, as a fandom, need to talk more about this gem from Crooked Kingdom:

“Do you know what Van Eck’s problem is?” “No honor?” said Matthias. “Rotten parenting skills?” said Nina. “Receding hairline?” offered Jesper. “No,” said Kaz. “Too much to lose. And he gave us a map to what to steal first.”

*climbs up on stupid little soapbox and screams* there is absolutely NOTHING “toxic” or “problematic” about inej telling kaz that he needs to remove his armor to be with her. he puts up so many walls and is so afraid of vulnerability that, if anything, what would really be toxic is her getting into a relationship with him and letting things continue that way. neither kaz NOR inej herself are ready to be together in an even remotely healthy way when that line is delivered in six of crows, and inej recognizes that. the idea that she should’ve just “accepted him as he was” absolutely fails to acknowledge how unhealthy relationships can get when the individuals in them aren’t emotionally in a good place for a relationship. the idea that she (or anyone) has to accept a partner who is in a toxic place as they are “if you really love them” and doesn’t have a right to draw a boundary is a deliberate misreading of that individual scene at best and an extremely damaging sentiment to transfer into an outlook on real life relationships at worst. thank you, goodnight. *climbs off stupid little soapbox*

I just have to sing my praises for Shadow's VA in prime rq I think Ian hanlin does such a fantastic job as shadow I am just. consistently amazed. I think some previous iterations lean a little too hard into the growl but Ian hanlin brings a modernization to the character that I think works really well. Still very clearly Shadow but sounds more natural imo. Genuinely wonderful would love to hear him as shadow in other productions

#:v #shadow the hedgehog #sonic prime #Honestly prime is all around a great time for shadows characterization #probably one of my favorite #The line ''is that all you got?'' was just SO shadow 😭 #This is truly the year of shadow we're so back #(would love to see a bit more of this type of characterization for shadow in IDW) #I love IDW and I am a IDW shadow defender until I die #I also think the last issue shadow was in was just. peak for his character fantastico #I would just like more 😁 #Me trying to convince people that Ian hanlin should voice shadow in the movie: it would be a perfect gift.. For Christmas 😏

#mp100 #mob psycho 100 #mp100 shigeo #pokemon #crossover #mp100 pokemon #and maybe a marshadow sniffed out how powerful he was and hid in his shadow #marshadows hide in peoples shadows and take on their powers #and maybe if it gets a little attached and defends him when he needs help well #whos to say #ngl i cant believe i havent seen anyone give him marshadow #its fighting AND ghost #and it knows like every type of move #and mobbu for suuure likes fighting types #not to mention the way it looks #and it likes to train its muscles too #i love espurr but idk

I think it is hysterical how Espio decided to pin Sonic’s “murder” on Shadow of all people because it feels like one of those moments were Shadow being the killer is way too obvious so anyone should’ve realized it was a cover but Espio still went with it and even tipped Amy off about it bc “well it’s shadow”.

He chose the easy way out and it WORKED.

0 braincells in that poet’s head and i love him.

#i am eating the espio content fr #i am so happy they went this route #my boy finally getting stuff to do good for him #even though he couldn’t figure out a blowdart was a weapon and not part of the game #mans was comitted to his poet role and the murderer #even had vector unknowingly defending him #good for him #poor shadow tho he was the scapegoat and didnt even know it #sorry shads LMAO #sonic the hedgehog #espio the chameleon #the murder of sonic the hedgehog #the murder of sonic the hedgehog spoilers

Today I will rant about Malina

Because this ship tried to be passed on as an ideal relationship to have.

*spoiler: it wasn't*

Malina is a ship that was shoved down our throats throughout the trilogy. Whether you shipped it or not you were bound to read about it in literally every other page.

And what are the negative aspects of this ship?

Literally EVERYTHING.

Let's start with Mal. The number 1 asshole in this trilogy.

And yes he is the number 1 and not Aleksander since Aleksander was a character with a goal. He had a grand plan that exceeded selfishness and pure evil and he used any means necessary to fulfill it. But Mal? Remind me, what was his plan?

Well, at the start of the trilogy to fuck around girls and then, when Alina began to feel something for someone else, to undermine her, latch on her and chastise her. There you have his role.

The minute Alina started having a life of her own outside his influence, the little jerk felt overlooked and his pride got hurt.

It's evident that Alina felt quite unseen from Mal in the beginning. He flirted and fucked girls right in front of her face (since she very clearly knew) and he even stopped hanging around with her as much as he did in the past.

Quite a start.

And then when Alina found her strength, happiness and place in the Little Palace he got offended. Why isn't she tortured as the rumors had said? What are these clothes that she's wearing? Why is she happy? And, most importantly, WHY IS SHE HAPPY WITH ANOTHER MAN??

Alina at that moment felt like she was walking on eggshells around him. She didn't know what to say without provoking him further. And when she found her voice, the little prick got all puffed up and left without even apologizing for ruining her nice evening.

Then we have Mal not talking to her as if it wasn't his own decision to abandon the army and follow her and again made her feel bad for even mentioning the Darkling.

It appears that Mal had no problem when his best friend bullied Alina but went actual feral when a (powerful) guy showed interest in her. Insecure, aren't we Mal?

In the following books we have Mal being okay that Alina doesn't use her powers and therefore being weak.

We have Mal being more concerned if Alina fucked the Darkling than being tortured by him. Apparently he wanted her virginity for him, I don't know.

We have Mal acting like crazy because Alina decided to return to Ravka to lead the remaining Grisha. But what about him?? What about his needs?? And what if he decides not to follow her? What will she do then?

(people call the Darkling manipulative but let me show you another person that you overlook as manipulative, my friends)

He gets angry when she hesitates to kiss him and again makes her feel bad about it. And how does he respond with that?

Revenge!!✨✨

Kisses Zoya, a woman he fucked before, and then threw the blame to Alina ("at least she doesn't flinch when I kiss her" "why do you care? You don't care about me anyway") Gaslighting at its finest form, my friends! 👌 Knew that she would be hurt, knew that she had feelings for him and still did it.

Oh and let's forget how he wanted the good, old Alina back! The sickly one that always depended on him for company and strength. He basically asked her to tear out a piece of her soul! 🥰🥰

And then, of course, jeopardized both her image and her safety by getting drunk and getting into fights (*whispering* we, the readers, are supposed to find this very romantic, okay? A man that drinks, sulks and makes the heroine feel bad. Just so you know).

Then the author made a 360° and presented Mal in R&R as changed and a very good person. Willing to die heroically for his love. How did she do that?

💕💕With zero development!!💕💕

One minute he's up there in the chapel being a jerk and the next minute he's underground and changed. I think it must have been the change of air, what do you think?

I have a huge problem with Leigh Bardugo about this. She presents Darklina as toxic. And it is. She presents Nikolina as little to zero toxic. And it is. But when she presents Malina, it's a really good, cute ship!! Not toxic at all with lots of possibilities! Leigh has constantly defended it saying "Oh but Mal was a teenager".

Ma'am? I was a teenager once and I never made my best friends feel like shit.

And as have everyone said before, Mal hits veeery close at home. He's every jerk that you have met in your life and you will meet again.

With Darklina you have nothing to fear. Because no one will put the collar of a magical stag around your throat, no one will have a nichevo'ya bite your shoulder, no one will ask you to abandon your friends so you can save some Grisha from the persecution. But plenty of men will slut-shame you for what you're wearing, plenty will feel insecure for being stronger and more famous than them, plenty will make you feel like shit for finding happiness and plenty will sabotage you by taking revenge kissing someone else.

Malina is a ship that is REAL.

While Darklina is your typical, fantastical ship.

Her hard efforts to pass it on to the readers as something healthy and inspiring is disgusting and makes me hate it even more.

Now from Alina's perspective things are even more tragic, since Alina never grows as a character because of him.

She always thinks "What about Mal? Will Mal follow me? What if he doesn't? It's my fault. It's all my fault. Where is Mal?".

This is it. This is the trilogy in a summary.

A heroine that seems more concerned about Mal than the country and people that expect from her to save them.

"Alina doesn't want a crown. That's why she left"

Girl, I don't want to go to work every day either.

Kids don't want to wake up to go to school.

People don't want to pay taxes every year.

But we do them because we MUST.

Just like Alina should stay, lead and rule because that's what she should do as the protagonist. Not pass on her own duties to others and say "gotta go lolz". Malina could be used as a plotline for Alina to gain strength from by casting aside Mal's influence and finding her own power inside herself. Instead Leigh did the opposite: stripped her powers (her own self) to fit in Mal's world.

And this excuse that the author had given ("some women don't want to wear crowns") is pathetic and idiotic.

Frodo didn't want to carry the Ring but chose to do the right thing. Harry didn't want to fight a war with a psychopath but did because it was the right thing. The Pevensie siblings didn't want to fight the White Witch and rule a country but did both because it was the right thing. Every hero in a proper story does the right thing. He or she becomes selfless and sacrifices his own happiness and well being to stand up against the evil and corruption.

In the trilogy instead we have Alina who had a responsibility and duty but unfortunately for Ravka and the Grisha she was not a responsible person but a girl that wanted to depend on a man. She didn't want to use her influence to protect her people but hide.

Apparently the "evil villain" understood the assignment better than the author ever did.

Alina never grew as a person or as a character. It was only Mal and Mal. If only he had stayed dead in R&R then the world would shine brighter. But no! The author brought him back and gave us an explanation with how that happened that I still don't understand because it doesn't make a goddamn sense.

I guess the easy explanation is: "I brought Mal back because Alina had to end up with him somehow. Deal with it."

And we just have to accept this (just as Alina did) whether we like it or not.

Well I don't.

Because I've met people like Mal and they're assholes. They want to be the strongest one in the relationship, they want their girl to look up to them and depend on them and when they make mistakes it's none of their fault.

Because I've met people like Alina that try hard to please their man while in the meantime they "crumble down" emotionally and feel insecure. They never shine with their own light but seek only the one that their toxic partner can give to them. Without it they're lost.

Because I've met couples like Malina. And it's never a happy relationship or has a happy ending.

And when you try to pass on this relationship in fiction as something healthy, then you really need to reconsider.

Rn I'm seeing a lot of people losing their minds saying wesper will lose iconic moments from the books and I raise you: they can still happen just in slightly different contexts

A lot of their banter can even be kept unchanged imo! And for certain scenes I really don't think they're entirely lost

In the books we get flashbacks to them first meeting-- what if we get the "not just girls" moment then in the tannery? Because surely they have to breach that subject in order to get to a ons?

We can still get the Kuwei mix up, it'll just be a lot fucking angstier with an established relationship. What if instead of a "get together first kiss" like the books they're in the midst of a quarrel and so Jesper attempts it as a make up kiss which just spirals and makes it worse? (Jesper feeling something is wrong during the kiss on screen holy fuck)

On top of that I have no doubts their relationship will hit rocky points and so imagine if they are having quarrels and they give us the "that's not all I want" moment on black veil? They can still have these emotionally charged moments in an established relationship!

I don't know why people get fixed on the pre-relationship stuff and then act like it's boring when characters are actually together. If anything it just makes the stakes higher!

I seriously think people have given up after seeing it's not a play by play adaptation which makes me so sad! I've had so much fun thinking of all the ways the scenes will be more emotional with them already together.

Just use your imagination for a minute dammit.
