i love so many things about alexis but i really don’t like her as a character and i think that’s just props to how well she’s written and voice-acted
like, of course she’s an asshole. but she’s a funny asshole
she has a cool name, a past that faults her, and complicated relationships. she’s got the funniest snap-backs and she’s undoubtedly pathetic. she’s easily jealous but hides behind it by throwing needless insults about werewolves being dogs. she thinks she’s owed things she should never have. incredible
i’d never defend her actions, i’ll say that outright. she’s simply interesting and i like it when she’s mentioned. i’m just super interested in a female character written well by a man, which isn’t something you get to say very much!
alexis, you’re awful, but also, you’re really intriguing. thank you for being That

finished season 2 of miraculous ladybug!
I dont mean to sound nitpicky about a children's show meant for children. Buuut it feels a little weird to me that the neglect/abuse Adrien experiences from his father is never played for laughs, but Chloes extremely horrible mom being awful to her is literally the whole punchline of their relationship?
Like I realize part of it is "Well Chloe is mean too, so they can bond over how awful they are Together", but that just makes me feel kinda icky because it means Chloe can never improve as a person UNLESS she's fine with her mother not loving her lol

I can’t believe that after FROOT (a personal low but career HIGH) Marina quit music, didn’t tell anyone, and then four years later was like “actually, I’ve decided that music needs me— now more than ever— to be the new Ellie Goulding!” like, what??? No we didn’t!

i always see this post in the tags and it literally annoys me so much like thats kind of the whole point. like theres a reason she doesnt end up with avigdor it is literally not the romance of yentl and avigdor he is an asshole and the CHARACTER stating that is not the FILM stating that, like the film is literally using that to tell you that this man was attracted to someone who he was completely certain was a man & also his demeanour to her completely changes when he realises shes not and there is LESS intimacy between them.. the ‘guy falls in love with girl dressed as man and its not gay after all’ is literally such a long-running trope from shakespeare to folk songs and this film is making a conscious effort to like acknowledge the fact that the acceptance of that trope is sort of shaky and like maybe gender and attraction arent really that rigid after all...like if avigdor ISNT gay for finding anshel hot then doesnt that mean hadass IS? its literally asking its 1985 audience to think about like at what moment and for what reason do women become sexual beings and men intellectual ones and what intimacy does that prohibit etc etc its like seriously i dont know what you wanted from this film 😭 most 19th century rural polish men on realising they were attracted to another man WOULD have been like ‘there’s something wrong with me’ i dont see how that means the FILM is homophobic. any film that portrays bigotry is actually supporting that bigotry<3 so true

Lae'zel's character and her entire situation at the beginning of the game becomes so much more funny when you find out she's 22. It makes so much sense. Imagine you're 22 and you're exposed to this dangerous toxin or chemical or something - but not to worry, you learnt that this can be easily fixed, you just need to dial 911 real quick. Common knowledge. Everyone knows that. You learnt that in kindergarten, it's up there with fire alarm drills.
But the people you're stuck with have no concept of modern medicine and when you say "let's go to the hospital" they will say shit like "i think they kill people at the hospital" and "we should ask this swamp lady" or "this guy over there told me about this homoeopathic healer kind of guy but he got abducted" or "this random bard wants to help" and "I'm not going to dial 911 because I don't want the government to know my home address" or "maybe we should consider a deal with Satan". And then a bunch of them KEEP consuming the chemical because it makes them "stronger". One guy might explode for unrelated reasons. You have a few days before this situation is getting critical and suddenly they're solving crime and doing general charity for the community.
And FOR SOME REASON you still try to help these idiots and you STILL want to help them get the cure even though they all keep insisting the "doctors" at the "hospital" might try to "kill them" and they don't have insurance. And you keep telling them to just. go. to. the. hospital. before the time runs out and you all die very horribly of a very treatable condition.
And also you're 22 in a foreign country and you're responsible for shepherding this gaggle of idiots who are all ranging anywhere from 24 to 240 years old.
