I’m pretty sure I sent in like, an essay on why I hate DickBabs?
oh shit i must've not seen it. here we are:
Believe it or not, I actually used to like this ship!!! Their first go around at a relationship was fine! Not amazing and it had issues but it had its cute moments! But there was the retconning. Oh, was there retconning. They had to age Barbara down just to make the relationship even possible, since she was in Congress when Dick was still a teenager. And then it got worse. Suddenly Barbara was Dick’s first crush/love. Suddenly all of his other relationships were explicitly inferior and his awesome longterm ex is being villified and shit talked and dismissed as a fling in-text. They broke up and stayed broken up for over a decade. Then suddenly Barbara had use of her legs back and was out of her wheelchair, and it was like every character spent a few years going “oh those two belong together!!” Without any of the stories ever demonstrating WHY. Then they suddenly got back together (after having Dick break up with yet another cool love interest!!!!) and immediately became characters I did not and do not recognize. Babs became a girlboss (derogatory) and Dick became a himbo (derogatory) and I hate it so so so so much it makes me so angry I can’t even keep talking about this I need to go before I explode
i also added it to the poll!

Ok so my last posts did GREAT (I love you all, fellow Simpos- Seeing other people go feral for this silly little man brings me JOY)

(UID/Info under the cut so I can ramble about he)
UID: 613736119
Also NOTE: My Trailblaze level COULD be higher but I'm waiting to do the next Equilibrium until I build up a few more characters, lmao)
But yea like- my man has
- Max Traces
- Max Eidolons

Here are the stats for My Boy rn if anyone's curious
Lmao so many people write off 4* characters but like?? He does so well in my party?? I legit couldn't imagine my party w/out him and I only take him out of the party if absolutely necessary tbh- (Plus he does get a LOT of use in my support slot because most of the support window is just filled w/ whoever the Newest 5* is and like. Sometimes you just need this silly little guy to help out-) <3

DOES NO ELSE KNOW THAT VICTOR AND JEROME WERE ON GAME OF THRONES?!
That’s right, folks, Francis Magee aka Victor Rodenmaar Jr. was on Game of Thrones, he played Yoren in S1-S2, a brother of the Night’s Watch and a recruiter for them as well. He made easy friends with Tyrion Lannister, Robb and Ned Stark, and eventually Arya Stark. He got along with Tyrion due to the fact that unlike his comrades, Yoren had a sense of humor. Imagine Victor but cool. And later on *spoilers if you haven’t seen the show*
when Ned’s put in public for execution and Arya managed to escape the Lannister guards, he sees her in the crowd and nods his head to Yoren to try to get her to safety. He does. And he holds her close and shields her ears when her father is executed.
Immediately after he cuts off Arya’s hair and instructs her to pretend to be a boy called Arry for her own safety whilst they travel back to the North. He planned on taking her to her brother Robb who became the current Lord of Winterfell following their father’s death.
Yoren is also the one to give Arya the idea for her infamous ‘list’. Her own hit list of people she’s planning on killing which she recites every night before going to sleep. It becomes so important to her ritual that she can’t even sleep before reciting it completely.
and as for Eugene Simon aka Jerome Clarke? He played Lancel Lannister, a cousin of Cersei, Jaime, and Tyrion Lannister for S1-2, and S5-6.
He originally was just King Robert’s cup bearer and I think he was his squire? Can’t remember fully but I do know that whilst Jaime was out of King’s Landint, Lancel was the one keeping Cersei satisfied if you know what I mean. And yes, they’re cousins, and Cersei fucks her brother Jaime, this isn’t brand new or quite shocking, it’s pretty standard GoT. He’s even involved for killing the king as he kept supplying him with wine and alcohol during a hunt, a boar got to him and he couldn’t drunkenly defend himself.
Then he gets blackmailed by Tyrion for a bit S2 for fucking Cersei. Gets kicked back home too by the end I’m pretty sure. though we get to see him in armor for a bit:
Then comes back on S5 looking like this:
He becomes a very religious zealot as he believes he is ‘redeemed’ in the eyes of their gods, the Seven and he just gets very faith involved, even trying to ask Cersei, the Queen Mother, to absolve her sins by being honest about her incest with him (and her brother). She laughs him off very easily and even tries to use the other followers that the new Septon, the High Sparrow, has accumulated to her own gains by getting rid of her sons new wife, Margaery Tyrell, by having her brother Loras arrested for sleeping with men.
By S6 it gets progressively worse, not only did Cersei get what she wanted, her son’s wife, Margaery, gets taken away as well because she knew her brother was involved with men and ‘did not inform the church of these indiscretions’ so she has also sinned. But then Cersei gets a taste of her own medicine and she gets imprisoned too as Lancel has told the High Sparrow everything and he even gets this fucking carving on his forehead.
Cersei gets her revenge in a big way if you’ve seen the show.

Anime DISCOVERY & TIME of the SEASON Present: The WORST Anime of 2023
Time for "HOW DO I PISS YOU OFF?!" with what anime I thought sucked!
I feel like whenever I’m hearing about any anime news in 2023, most of it has something to do with one company that has such a big stranglehold of the industry and they are pissing you off every chance they get, from not dubbing that show you like but dubbing a bunch of other shows (aka mostly various isekai) that you’ll forget within a week’s time it finished airing, an award show that caters…

Why Kataang is shit - a submission-based essay
Kataang - a canon het ship from the Avatar: the Last Airbender and Legend of Korra fandoms between Katara and Aang
Do you fancy your babysitter? Does she not like you back? Don't worry, if you kiss her without her consent enough times, eventually she'll come around!
Throughout the show, Katara is cooks, cleans, does general chores on behalf of the group, including Aang. She is also primarily responsible for talking him down from fits of wrath (understandable fits of wrath: he's a traumatised 12 year old with godlike powers) and putting herself in harms way in order to calm him. He's also incredibly dismissive of her culture at times, and disregards her feelings when they don't align with his view of the world.
SPEAKING OF WHICH he completely ignores her when she explicitely says that she does not want to talk about his feelings for her, and then kisses her without her consent (again). He not only never apologieses for this, but it is never brought up again! She just wanders over him after the battle is finished and kisses him and THAT'S THAT I GUESS?!?!?!!! THEN we get into post-canon stuff. The main cast are really out there doing the most: founding cities, ruling nations, etc... with the exception of Katara. What is Katara in the future? The Katara who was the first woman to be trained in combat-bending by the Masters of the North simply because she Would Not Shut Up until they trained her? The Katara who said she would never turn her back on people who need her? That Katara? She's a wife and mother now and that keeps her very busy. To be honest I haven't read most of the comics because they're famously awful and even Kataang fans don't like a lot of them. it's offensive when a female character exists only as a trophy for the main guy to win, but it's doubly insulting when that female character has so many layers and so much complexity, only to turn into the shiny trophy with no autonomy when she kisses the hero like some kind of awful reverse Princess and the Frog.
FURTHERMORE if you look at Katara's utlisation (or lack thereof) in The Legend of Korra, she doesn't do anything!! Of the Gaang members who are still alive, she's the only one who never gets involved in the adventures, which considering that the plot of Season 1 hinges around a water-bender specific power that she has a personal connection to (and even the in the FLASHBACKS to 40 years previously she does not appear). It's very funny to me because a lot of Kataang fans will say "oh Katara did keep working as an adult, she got bloodbending banned!!" and this is brought out as that one thing she did, yet IN A WHOLE SEASON ABOUT BLOODBENDING she does absolutely nothing besides being unable to heal Korra, so that Aang's spirit has to turn up and do it for her. Then Season 2 is about the Water Tribes and involves the hostile takeover of the city in which she lives, but apparently she's not keen on getting involved in that either!! And look, I can't PROVE that this is directly linked to the ship, but it sure looks suspicious to me when taken with previous evidence. And don't even get me started on the fans holy hell. Like, it's perfectly fine to have ships with problematic elements (don't we all) but they truly will bend over BACKWARDS to say that there's nothing wrong with the ship OR the way it went down in canon and that they're the Pure and Wholesome ship, standing in opposition to the Evil Colonizing Zutaras. Even suggesting that hey, might it have been better if they'd taken some time apart to really grow as individuals and then gotten together in their twenties---instead of at 12 and 14 without ever fixing the mother/child dynamic or talking about the time he sexually assaulted her---will be met with outright hosility by certain members of the fandom.

meet cute fic for s & d tier! if you don’t know them, all the context you need is that they’re two supervillains. one of them is basically the bad guy from a point-and-click game, the other is the most powerful and most bloodthirsty creature ever to walk the earth. they’re buddies :) but not yet, bc this is a meet-cute.
The map had the island marked as uninhabited, and Morgan had lost their pursuers almost before the place had even come in sight. They’d still been on alert, because after all you never know, but they’d seen no sign of human habitation from the air and the jungle had been peaceful for the whole walk from Morgan’s landing site to where their biplane had crashed. So sue them, maybe they let their guard down a bit as they started going over the plane for spare parts.
They were shoulder-deep in the mangled engine’s guts and completely oblivious to their surroundings when a voice said, “And where did you come from?”
Morgan jumped. Their elbow bumped against an exposed wire and stinging agony arced up their arm. They screamed and jumped again.
Things got comedic for a bit. Eventually they managed to extract their arm from the plane’s innards. Their sleeve was pocked with scorch marks and their arm was tingling, almost numb. Morgan shook it out, wincing and hissing, as they turned to find the source of the voice.
There was someone leaning against a tree not five feet away, watching Morgan’s antics with unconcealed amusement. An astonishingly beautiful someone, with golden eyes that gleamed in the jungle shadows and the ability to move silently through dense forest – Morgan glanced down and found that the stranger’s feet were hovering a few inches above the leaf litter. Morgan gulped. Maybe they shouldn’t have used up the last of their warding talismans back at the swimming pool factory. They made sure their smile was friendly and their body language was open when they said, “Hi.”
The beautiful stranger’s body language was also open. One might even call it lazily confident. Their smile was not friendly at all. “Hi,” they drawled. “This is my island. Why are you on it?”
“Oh that’s cool. It’s cool you have an island.” Morgan’s voice wavered embarrassingly. They winced and shook their arm out again, hoping the stranger would assume it was pain, not alarm, making them sound like a wuss. “You mean yours in like a spirit way? Are you the avatar of the island or something?”
The stranger’s predatory smirk scrunched up into total confusion. “What? No! I mean like in a capitalism way. Where I own it.” The stranger squinted at Morgan. “Why are you here? Is this your plane?”
Morgan glanced at the biplane wreckage. “Uh, finders keepers I guess, so yeah. Yeah, it’s my plane.”
The propeller chose that moment to fall off with a hideous shriek of metal on metal. Morgan made a face. “I’ve had better.”
