As a fellow Dovewing lover, it's frustrating how the fandom watered her down into a whiny brat who never cared about Ivypool. I mean, seriously? Not only did Dovewing care about her sister (reacting in horror when Lionblaze, her own mentor and Jayfeather are willing to potentially sacrifice Ivypool's safety by employing her as her spy instead of trying to get her out of the Dark Forest's clutches, hiding a thorn in her nest to cover for her scarring from her training).

Heck, even the scene where she tries to feed Ivypool her catch during a hunting patrol was demonized because 'she was trying to make Ivypool break the code like SHE does, as if it doesn't matter' and because she got upset when Ivypool started arguing with her! But you guys said she didn't care, right? Plus, people act like being forced into a prophecy is something you should be grateful for, as if it didn't irreparably change her close relationship with her sister? As if Lionblaze and Jayfeather didn't still keep her out of the loop (and for all the fussing they made about keeping it a secret, Lionblaze confesses his power to Cinderheart and Jayfeather doesn't even care).

Meanwhile Nightheart is angry he isn't orange and hates his mom for being exiled and the whole world has to stop for him. 🤪 And Bramblestar is simply so tortured by having an evil father, the only choice is to train with him and his evil half-brother and hide this from his wife! (But remember, it's bad when that witch Squirrelflight hides the parentage of the three from him, even when Blackstar and Leopardstar were still around after being complicit in the torture and killing of halfclan cats.) Why are these male characters sympathized with, even when they actively harm people (Nightheart forcing himself into Sunbeam's life by lying to everyone about being her mate without even asking her if she would be fine with that beforehand), Bramblestar (we all know what he does), but when Dovewing or any other female character is upset, people freak out and call them whiny brats or abusive for (checks notes) asking her partner if he loves her anymore after they argued multiple times in a book. Really makes you think! (Sorry this is so long, you just have based opinions!)

dovewing being characterized as this flighty airheaded vain popular girl stereotype in fanon is like. one of those biggest "we didnt actually read the books" things in the fandom. like theres so much fanart where shes grinning and giggling over the prophecy and shes besties with the trio and shes got preferential treatment, and then in the actual books shes basically the autistic kid no one actually likes. people really, REALLY overexaggerate that one scene where she snaps at ivypaw and brags. (and i dont wanna shit on amvs but i am forever side eying how the animation community handled dove back in the day. more than one person animated her getting murdered. normal.)

i do think its gotten better recently at least. but wow does it feel like at least one person on the writing team has a bone to pick

(also awww thank you <3 no need to be sorry i love getting stuff in my inbox)

#it does also feel so insidious to me just how long the bramblesquirrel conflict was painted as ''equally kind of wrong'' #the ppl who put words in squilfs mouth sometimes which. btw ill get to that when i read the book #and tbf part of it is that sometimes abuse isnt as easy to spot if youre primed to the mainstream version of it #like. bramble isnt a born evil wifebeater everyone can see coming from a mile away. hes a complex guy with his own insecurities #and his own goals and people he openly cares about. and even in some fanon stuff i see ppl kinda erase that part of him #(which i wont pretend im above- ive been trying to walk that line myself) #and that doesnt match how abusers are usually percieved by the public. or in this very series. #like. the main excuse for clear sky is literally ''hes sad his sister died and tried to save her! no one changes THAT much'' #anyone can be an abuser. you could be an abuser. i could be an abuser. that doesnt mean that we ARE but we are capable of it #and the thing that catches ppl off guard is that abusers are really good at hiding who they are and theyre often charming #i often hear this account of abuse that goes something like ''my parent abused me but no one believed me bc theyre nice in public'' #you dont know whats going on behind closed doors. and ik this is about funny kitties at the end of the day but its quite telling #so... yeah bramble has his nice moments. hes got his GREAT moments even. i love his relationship with his mom for example #but those moments dont mean that hes not capable of being worse. of being a monster to his loved ones #its why squilf keeps getting sucked back in. hes not a one dimensional asshole. hes capable of being kind to her. #and thats what makes his disgusting moments hit so much harder #wow ok i got off topic in the tags but yknow. idk i got feelings abt this matter as someone who's experienced toxic relationships

The complaint that Huntlow is rushed is so funny to me because what about it is rushed?

The possibility that Hunter has a crush on Willow?

Even that has only been hinted at with having Hunter blush at her in three scenes.

Some of y’all are out here acting like they’re already canonically dating when we’re barely even close to that. And realistically we probably won’t get there in the shows current canon because s3 has a bunch of other things to worry about that aren’t ships.

#if your complaint is the crush was rushed I can kinda understand that #but at the same time crushes CAN form from small interactions #and even in huntlows case we’re practically told they’ve been talking casually via penstagram after ASIAS #so it’s possible the crush formed during that time #hence why I said it’s a possibility that Hunter has a crush on Willow #even tho I’m pretty sure he does #and tbf I’m okay with just that #I’m not sure if we rlly have time to explore them dating at all in the 3 specials #so at most I expect moments between the two and the possibility of Willow returning the feelings #but that’s it #cuz again we don’t have time #it doesn’t need to be canon given the circumstances #if that happens then I can totally get the “this is rushed” argument #but as of right now? that’s just not the case #toh #the owl house #huntlow #hunter wittebane #willow park

maybe this is just me but to me grumpy dickhead characters that are intended to be endearing only really land if they have one character that actually grounds them whether that be through them being very nice to balance it out with cute banter or them also being snarky so they can have fun banter. if a grumpy character is just an asshole to characters we dont know as well, are literally children or people who otherwise cant fight back, then like. they dont vibe with me

#thinking abt the os anime again and like yeah it had moments i didnt like where it went too far #basically any scene where misty got physical with ash #but overall the original trios bond was fun bc they could all clearly take the banter and still cared abt each other #and had plenty of genuine moments as well #and then you have jayfeather who like. tbf did have some characters to bounce off of well like his siblings and briarlight #and thats fine #but then he lost most of them and now hes a dick towards literal children all the time #and thatd be fine except we're still meant to see him as endearing bc of this bc in the same arc a child nearly dies bc of this #the protag is like ''awwwwwwww jay is like so sweet and nice tho i love him hes grumpy but i am so fond of him hes so cool'' #im trying to keep all this in mind w my own grumpy characters too tho #or assholes in general like i gotta show it more but marlow is fine when it comes to sakura bc he also banters with him #and it doesnt really get under his skin except for when they mock him for never leaving town #which is part of his arc more than just ''ha ha sakura is mean isnt that funny and quirky'' #and like. yeah im kinda just like ''ha ha sakura is mean isnt that funny and quirky'' but like he is vaguely antagonistic so #im kinda trying to go for a harley or raquelle vibe with him where hes not a villain per say but hes petty #and will play an antagonistic role to serve the plot if needed to the other characters #but then hes also not like that to everyone bc he does have a bit more depth than that. typical ''putting up walls'' but not really #bc he genuinely thinks hes all that theyre just also REALLY lonely and cant communicate with people #and is kinda traumatized and stressed from his brother being taken as a baby and being sick while grieving #and is also still sick actually! just gotten really good at hiding it and denies it which. just puts more stress on him #echoed voice

W.G. Collingwood, Marvel Comics, P. Craig Russell, a bunch of other illustrators and artists I'm not gonna bother looking up now: Balder is universally beloved, which means he's Young and Hot. Hod is blind, which means he's Old. Or at least, looks significantly older than Balder.

Peter Madsen: Hear me out... what if they looked basically the same? And they both looked like Just Some Guy? And one or the other looking more attractive came down to self-confidence or a lack thereof?

Carl Gustaf Qvarnström and Nils Fredrick Sander, the absolute madmen: SHUT UP, ALL OF YOU. HOD IS ALSO 100% YOUNG AND HOT. AND MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE SOMETHING MORE GOING ON WITH LOKI BEYOND THE FRATRICIDE. THERE HAS TO BE A REASON HE'S SO READY TO TRUST HIM, RIGHT?

#norse mythology #hod #hödr #hoder #loki #loki x hod #hello why yes i AM back on my bullshit #... okay tbf i'm always on my bullshit. i have a such a wide array of bullshit #today i'm specifically back to #'old age isn't the only reason someone could ever be blind or visually impaired. my eyes have been pretty fucked since i was a child' bs #and 'I GET MAKING NORSE GODS LOOK MORE CLASSICAL. I THINK IT'S A STUPID IDEA BUT I UNDERSTAND THE PRINCIPLE. #BUT WHY DOES LOKI KINDA LOOK LIKE HE'S ABOUT TO KISS HOD'S SHOULDER IN THAT LAST PIC.

Recently I had the idea to write an essay/text/whatever about all the reasons why I love Barbossa, and I really want to do it but I'm still super busy with university and it's difficult to get my energy for anything else together ._. I miss writing, but it takes its time, even more so in a foreign language.

Anyway here's a screenshot of him in profile view because I love admiring his face and especially adore how his nose looks here <3

(okay I actually just wanted to have a good reason to post this picture and mention how beautiful I find his nose)

#now that I think about it I want to write a love essay for each of my f/os #some are getting pushed into the background a bit atm but I still love all of them very much (especially Doof) and I want to express that💖 #also I just kinda realised that 2 of my main f/os have kinda big noses while the third one just doesn't have a nose at all lmao #okay tbf he does in his non-cursed human form but I still find it hilarious

One of the two crickets that became my pets semi accidentally almost 2 months ago (!!) decided it was time to start chirping yesterday for the first time.

It's so annoying when I'm trying to sleep but also. So cute.

#I've had them for 7 wks now and my mom already had them for a few days and they also got shipped here and stuff #And according to the internet they get to max 9 wks #So I'm rly worried the sudden chirping is a sign that they're dying #Esp bc crickstopher played dead all day #But also tbf the only reason they became pets is bc crickstopher staged an elaborate escape heist #That included playing dead in the geckos enclosure for 2 days and then immediately escaping when my mom removed it #And he played dead for a day another time #So that's just kinda a thing he does #And lemony cricket is the one that's chirping #I am #Getting way too attached to these feeder crickets oof #And yes I can tell them apart #They love eating bell pepper and crushed meal worms and they are my children

Im trying to think really hard abt s/is. My Gotham s/i is a fucking nuisance to G.P.D. bc he doesn't let himself get caught but he leaves evidence.

Meanwhile Hearts is NOT subtle when kicking around as a citizen. He hangs around places that like really SHOULD out him but people are kinda dumb and Hearts in his villian outfit and Hearts in his civilian clothes is two VERYYY different vibes

#He keeps bugging Oswald to 'play some rock music in here c'mon' and Oswald is like 'I will NOT be playing that' and Hearts justs goes 'lame #' in a veryy jokey sorta way #I need to watch Gotham again I wanna do more with Hearts. B/C like his thing is he doesn't align with one major crime family/group but he #always seems to *learn* something or other and people don't like him for that #of course thet don't also like the killing he does A Lot of that but that's besides the point #GOD. oh my goddddd it could b so cool for hearts to run like a poker place in a later season maybe? maybe it doesnt last maybe its what mak #es him get caught idk but THAT could be fun #tbf Hearts was kinda taken under Don Maroni but like not enough anyone ever did anything n I'm unsure if He knew little baby Elias WAS Hear #ts #tricks rambles #need 2 think 2 distract my head from Other Thoughts U.U

Girl at the liquor store carded me so hard as if she also doesnt look 16 working in a liquor store then asked me if I remembered her from high school when we rode the bus together. Women ♡

i havent even finished editing the prev fic for jupe but i did write this for the next part and it made me laugh

#jupiter.speaks #> me the author and also jupiter: jupe u cant just “what the hell man” ur way out of this situation. jupe: watch me. #> just setting the vibe immediately u know. his ass is not going to handle it. he IS going to get silly with it #> i think its funny that kos n jupe r so similar (isekais) and yet sooo different #> like kos is so intimately intertwined into the canon (n unknowingly has been since a young age) and experiences an entire retelling of it #> whereas jupe shows up 20mins late. monster in hand. work laptop in his backpack. has no connection at all hes just here for a laugh #> well i mean he does wanna go back but also...kinda not. kos has that too tho tbf! kos kind of...cant go back. unless kos (entity) lets him #> i just love lore i love inventing things i need to write down everything eventually #> im intending to collate every detail (written fics + my general idea) per s/i / ship on my neo when its done but. not quite yet #> okay gn i have work :(

I was thinking of X and I was gonna be all like "actually X can teleport between universes just like xs sister and cousin :) " completely neglecting to remember his fucking history w Hans AND Can's husband. Like I just forgot everything Straight Up.

#💟.txt #i don't like most things X does w his life tbf #he grew back his hair tho around the time he got beaten and forced to get better by his family x went bald after a nervous breakdown #but now he has completely given up on the idea of ever being anything else aside from what he is #still gets in situations but he doesn't start them 👐 so #it is technically fair L.L. also does the same so. they gotta be just. #can doesn't can is a very involved bitch but that's besides the point #anyway bc he doesn't care anymore and bc Time Has Passed he now has a beard and longer hair it partly covers his eyes #he looks messy like kinda got tbh QMGSJSVSBSB

so i watched this team building guide that had the premise of "make 'bad' characters good." and this is kind of a weird flex, but i'm pleased to report that i already employ literally every tip in the video pretty much on a daily basis

#⇢₊˚⊹ 🩷∥ruby∥yo，ide yo !! #i have so much experience making teams revolving around non-meta units #being a chongyun main'll do that to ya i suppose #i think team building is one of the things about genshin that i find the most fun #which is surprising to me because i went into genshin assuming that i wouldn't give two shits about the combat #and in some ways i still kinda don't. or at least i don't care as much as “true” combat players #but idk. there's just something about figuring out how the game works #and then using that knowledge to figure out how to buff my off-meta dps to holy hell #and testing this team comp that doesn't quite work as intended #and then this team comp that does kinda work but slightly to the left to see if that makes it better #and then just the journey of getting higher and higher crits as i come up with new ideas for team comps #that i find so goddamn satisfying #also part of it is coming up with stranger and stranger teams and builds—sometimes even entire playstyles #—that would cause people's faces to visibly distort when they see it #like my on-field hyperbloom driver hydro chongyun idea. most people would probably be like WHYYYYYYYYY #and my answer to that is BECAUSE I CAN #that's part of why i continue to love chongyun so much #he doesn't have a place in the meta whatsoever. so whatever i do with him is gonna be suboptimal no matter what #which weirdly enough gives me the freedom to do whatever the fuck i want #tbf i could do that with other dps's too. i don't HAVE to play lyney as a mono pyro carry. i don't HAVE to play cyno as a hyperbloom driver #those are definitely their strongest teams. but by no means the only ones you could run. hell，you don't even have to run nilou as- #- a bloom support if that playstyle's not for you，her passives be damned. #but idk. i think it's because they have at least ONE team that's widely considered to be strong. it almost feels codified in a way #whereas chong is one of those units where everyone would tell you to just not bother with using #cuz there are units that can do everything he does better. and the one thing exclusive to him isn't enough to land him a place in the meta #they're also not my faves of all time. that's just chong. so by default i have less motivation to do creative things with them #i do still like them don't get me wrong. but like. for me，as long as they do what i pulled them for well，then i'm satisfied #side note，but i honestly never thought that i would mainly use mono element teams in the late game. cuz on paper they sound kinda boring #like why would you /not/ do reactions in the reactions go brrr game. but with lyney it came prepackaged #and with chong，it seems like the best team for him to be an on-field normal attacker

HELP ONE OF THE GUYS IS HAVING A SEXUALITY CRISIS BC OF THE GIRL AND THEYRE TAKING HIM TO HER CROSSDRESSING BAR TO CONFIRM IF HES BISEXUAL DUDJE😭😭😭

#this is so fun and chaotic I'm having a fucking blast rn #and tbf... I kinda get him bc the girl he's into while she dressed like a guy looked *nothing* like a girl #that's just a full on guy my dude #so... #but idk tho does that make him bi??? #I'm just as confused as he is 😭 #agmx

Yknow despite my absolute negative amount of interest in Wortox at this rate it's only a matter of time before I somehow start being mentally ill abt him too. If Wormwood and Willow got in my head then everyone else's days are numbered at this point </3

#rat rambles #to be clear; I have nothing against him hes just utterly uninteresting in concept to me #and Im not a huge fan of his kit either especially as a paid dlc character #I feel like hes the only one of the dlc characters who's weaknesses dont also add a new layer of nuance to their gameplay #wurt gets more benifit from veggies wormwood doesnt get damaged by foods and can use fertilizers and wanda has to manage her healing #intervals carefully but has basically infinite healing making fighting both more and less punishing #but when a guy's entire kit surrounds making you do repetitive labor only to punish you for using its rewards anyways it just feels unfun #like its not too bad if you have other players to help and he can do cool stuff with souls but only in very limited and simple copasities #one of my friends main him and I appreciate what he brings to the table but he also often complains abt how obnoxious he is to play #like idk its rly just the food weakness that gets to me because it feels like it takes away more than other aspects of his kit give #specifically it does in a boring and flat feeling way imo its very walter doesnt like clothes feeling 2 me #like the kinda thing where it just feels tacked on without much thought #tbf Im not a huge fan of wormwood's kit either so dont take this as me saying every other dlc character is perfect but yknow #at least wormwood has more than like 2 things he can do #sorry that this jusy turned into kit ranting I just have to long for justice for my dear friend so we can stop having every mod that we try #out to make things easier break our game within a session or two after it worked fine initially #also wendy likes him so I legally have to like him at least a little

Oh man I have so much appreciation for voice acting you have no idea and I LOVE Tom Kenny like he does so many fuckin voices in everything but it doesn't bother me I cannot get tired of his voice it is so unique but also he has RANGE I can usually tell it's still him regardless but it's like crossing paths with an old friend everytime I notice it's him

#they got The Powerpuff Girls on Netflix now (I don't pay for it don't worry) and the whole time was basically me sitting and pointing #being like And that's Tom Kenny @ my Mom the entire time cuz holy shit he does a ton of voice work in that show it's incredible #I know Tara Strong does a buncha voice work as well she also does a ton of heavy lifting but I dunno #I can stomach her old work but smth about her current voice work is grating especially when she is doing Her Voice #if you know you know #it's somehow gotten sharper and louder it hurts to listen to #okay I didn't word the first part of that right I don't ''stomach'' her old work I'm not fighting for my life to watch it #I appreciate her old work and it doesn't hurt to listen to like Bubbles is great to listen to I have no issue listening to Bubbles #at least in the first season cuz that's where I'm at maybe it gets worse I dunno #but like I enjoy her voice for Bubbles it's sounds good does her character well #and y'know old Timmy Turner. Twilight Sparkle. old Raven. even Truffles! who I'm pretty sure is meant to be annoying and loud #I still have a great appreciation for her tho and all the work she does just kinda hard to listen to her work nowadays #I could also talk about various other voice actors whom I enjoy greatly but like those are the main ones I noticed in #the first season of The Powerpuff Girls as well as the Professors voice actor doin various voices as well #like if u just listen to the background characters it's mostly just the main cast using different voices which is common obviously #just fun to hear and point out when ya notice #OH btw just randomly remembered I was watching a buncha old Jack in the Box commercials and PRETTY SURE #pretty sure I heard Richard Horvitz in one of them randomly it hit me like a ton of bricks #not the first time I've noticed his voice work in the most RANDOM ass place #I could be totally wrong tbf it was a very short voice line but it sounded like him #oh man I really would love to do voice work but sadly that is one of the things I am not entirely confident in #I do not have confidence in my voice nor my acting capabilities but would be fun to fuck around in smth silly ig :P #you just have to get me a proper studio to voice act in cuz I could not voice act with others around me HEARING me talk #would be impossible for me I cannot take things seriously with others around me lmao
