Propaganda Under Cut
Sakura Haruno
Her husband is gay and her author doesn't know how to write women. So many people say she's the worst but she. DESERVES. BETTER!!! Save her from this franchise.
My baby girl my bestie my best friend. She committed the crime of um being written by kishimoto who both doesn’t know how to write women and somehow writes men in the gayest way possible specifically naruto and sasuke. Like the thing is naruto and sasuke ARE gay and also she gets so much hate for the crime of kishimoto writing her one dimensionally in love with sasuke. I know her personally she is a butch lesbian to me just trust me she’s in love with Ino and has a lesbian thing going on with Karin okay just trust me. My everything. She needs to divorce the loveless lavender marriage she’s in 
What is there to say, even? The OG Threat to my 90s anime brain, the only woman I've ever hated with such a passion she made me turn away from the color pink. I used to write fics with my friend where she got left behind on purpose so our OCs could join the Naruto and Sasuke team instead. I loathed this bitch until I was 16 and realized the author simply couldnt write women and decided it was time to make peace with Sakura. It is not her fault she's vaguely written and obsessive over Sasuke. She deserves better. Sasuke and Naruto still should be together and Sakura shouldnt be with Sasuke but I no longer believe this because I hate Sakura, it is because I love her. She deserves a spouse who will actually put in the time to treat her like the hero she is.
Misa Amane
she gets treated in-canon the way fandoms treat female characters that Threaten an m/m ship. it's like, "oh why don't you go sit in the corner and be pretty, misa, while the Men have intelligent conversation and pretend they aren't ten seconds from fucking each other, doesn't that sound nice?" it's infuriating. and MAYBE it's better now but i remember her getting treated the same way in fanfiction too, like we all need to do just as badly by our female secondary characters as fucking tsugumi ohba, but with the added insult of making her be alternately oblivious of the relationship between light and L or actively trying to sabotage it—incompetently, of course, because god forbid misa be allowed dignity or moments of cleverness.
she's one of the first characters I think of when I consider old school fandom misogyny. The annoying bitch and clingy crazy gf allegations were AFTER HER ASS. She's also a lot more intelligent than people gave her credit for, but most seem inclined to take the Very Biased word of our unreliable, narcissistic narrator and his homoerotic arch nemesis and claim that just because she's bubbly and into romance that she's also a complete moron. Which is blatantly untrue. Everyone was afraid of Misa girlbossing too hard. Killing people and devoting yourself to the deranged twink of your dreams even though you know he'll never love you back??? Having a hardcore goth aesthetic and being so Hot even literal Death Gods are into you?? God forbid women do ANYTHING!
Not only is she the victim of yaoi culture, she is the victim of early 2000s misogyny by an author that wanted to introduce a girl character because he knew his male rivals were getting too homoerotic. She is a goth bimbo icon who portrays what I think is one of the few callouts for stan culture and what parasocial relationships can do to both the stan and the idol. The fact that she is a toxic fan of Kira and also hot, funny, sociable is tragic in its own way, which I think the author did try to touch on but was too misogynistic too really get through. Of course, she was reduced to villain status by the fandom and anime alike because she got in the way of the supposed romance in their psychological horror anime

I'm writing this as a big Katara stan. I just found out that a new film about an adult Gaang is planned to be released, and Katara, like Aang, will be given a leading role there. I am so excited and glad that finally Katara will be given due respect as a character!
But for some reason, after searching on Tumblr, I saw joy about a new film in the entire Atla fandom except for our zutara community. on the contrary, there is a lot of discontent and bitterness. But why is that? Is it because zutara won't be in the movie? Well, yes, zutara is a fanon ship, it will never be anywhere but our fanfics and fanart. But after all, Zutara is not in the original ATLA show, and we still love it! This is no reason not to rejoice at the opportunity to see our favorite characters on the screen again, to see Katara again (God, I'm screaming with delight😍😍😍😍). Yes, there is a chance that the writing will be bad, but there is always such a chance before the release of any film. I'm just so happy to see Katara again, and the whole gaang too, and her new design for this movie seems so great to mе!
i mean this genuinely, anon: i love that you love katara so much, and i am really happy for you that you're looking forward to the new movie. i truly hope you enjoy it.
i don't want to speak for the rest of zutara fandom, but i can't share your feelings because - to put it point-blank - i don't trust the creators with katara's character. ever since they lost their writing team, nothing they've created post-atla has proven to me that they understand katara's character, or how to create a good arc for her. it's telling that the only post-canon comic featuring a decent story for katara (katara and the pirate's silver) came out in 2020, twelve years after the original show ended (and which was also, notably, the first comic that bryan and mike were not involved with).
i'm sure some people are salty that they won't see canon zutara, but personally i'm relieved that i won't have to see bry.ke ruin romantic zutara like they did with their friendship post-atla. i'm sure they'll do their damnedest to fuck up what remains of zuko and katara's platonic relationship in the new movie, which is why canon ended for me with the final agni kai. no magic pointy rock or canon ships in this household, thank you.
i wish i could share your excitement for the movie anon, but i just don't have faith in bryan and mike to do justice to the characters (especially zuko and katara) after everything they've said and created over the last decade. like really, calling zuko a bad boy in the year of our lord 2023? please watch your own show.
besides, nothing they can do for katara in this movie will retcon what they did to her in LOK. i already know she ends up as a sad, lonely housewife without any real power, impact or legacy; that can't be changed, no matter how they try to "fix" it. it looks like the movie has been delayed so my hope is that it just gets cancelled in production. atla has been milked to filth anyway; leave the og characters alone and do something new with the universe, or just let it rest in peace and find another story to tell.

Omg Tumblr actually have WORD LIMIT?! I didn't know it-
I wanted to upload this post with Craig's gang reactions, but Tumblr stopped me-
So now I have to make an another post about Craig and his gang-
Nvm- I hope you guys will enjoy this!
Oh and there are probably some spelling mistakes bc I wrote this at late night and I didn't look through it- sorry :")
×❢ About my work ❢×
fluff, some curse, all the way fluff, Stan's part is a little bit longer, bc I gave him plot, the reader can be gender neutral, they/them pronouns used for the reader, pet names (like baby, babe, hon, etc), the reader is in a romantic relationship with the characters and I think that's all-
All credit of the gifs goes to the og creator!

Tumblr media
★ Stan Marsh ★
Tumblr media
• Stan played with his video games on your side
• and you got bored of watching it
• you looked at your boyfriend who concentrated very hard about what he was doing
• he looks so cute when he tries to focus on something this hard
• he seemed lost in the virtual world, so you choosed that it's time to bring him back to reality
• he got red so quickly
• his face is all red and omg he can't hold back his vomit
• You looked over the game what said “Game Over”.
"I'm sorry hon, I didn't mean to disturb you." you said as you looked back at your boyfriend who was red as a tomato.
"N-no! It's okay!" he looked up at you with a soft smile on his face. He got closer so you could rest your head on his shoulder as he holds you. "I can do this later." he put the console away. "So what should we do next, babe?"
• he will probably give it back by giving you a kiss on your cheek or on your neck
• it's not important if you do it in private or in public
• he doesn't mind it actually
• he just gets flustrated very easily
• but be prepared Cartman's "eww get a room" thing if you do it in front of the guys
★ Kyle Broflovski ★
Tumblr media
• he actually prefers it in private because of Cartman
• Cartman would be like "(Y/N) IS A SLUT FOR KAHL AGAIN!"
• but he definitely loves it when you do it ♡
• he just gets so fast as red as his hair
• he won't give it back bc he is afraid to do it
• he will actually ask you so he could give the kiss back
• "Oh my gosh, Kyle. Of course you can give it back!" you giggled because of how red and cute he was.
• He says thank you by giving soft kisses to your face.
★ Eric Cartman ★
Tumblr media
• WELL
• I can imagine Eric as the typical “ "Eww what was that?" "A kiss." "Gross... Do it again." ” person
• yk that I'm an Eric kinnie, but seriously I can't imagine him like touchy or a lovely dovey person
• he doesn't get so flustrated of it, actually he doesn't show any signs of he's liking it or not
• but trust me, he does like it
• he really does, he just don't want to look like a cherry infront of you
• so he acts like he wouldn't care
• if you don't want him to be a hot head, do it in private
• please do it in private
• oh and don't prepare for return
★ Kenny McCormick ★
Tumblr media
• same as Eric, he won't be so flustrated about it as the others
• but he LOVES it so much
• he does it with you as well, so it's not new for you two
• he doesn't care if you two in public or not
• and he will give the kiss back with no hesition
• probably he will give much more than you did give to him
• sweet, loveful smooches all the way!
• "Alright, Ken, that's enough!" you giggled as you tried to stop him from giving to your neck an another soft kiss.
• a little blush still appeares on his face, but believe me, he's very happy about the surprise kisses!
★ Leopold "Butters" Stotch ★
Tumblr media
• the colors changing so fast on his face
• he really appreciates tho
• if you do it after he had a long day, it will definitely cheer him up!
• he actually says thank you after it
• "O-Oh, well..." he can't even talk because of flustration! He's speechless! "Thank you, (Y/N)!" he sends a sweet, happy smile to you that appeares on his flushed cheeks.
• he loves it everywhere and everytime, so he doesn't actually care about privacy
• it's so fun to him!
• he will definitely return it!

Ok soI've been wanting to talk about the current discourse and shit that's been going on in the amazing digital circus fandom and how well- it's pathetic lmaoOk so let me start with just talking about the haters and the stans. Les do it.
So ofc we all know there has been a serge of haters for TADC, and it's funny because there reasons behind hating TADC is either from fandom bait, made up entirely, or just because it's popular. It also seems anytime a indie project is popular it gets a lot of hate which I find incredibly stupid like. If your gonna hate on the indie stuff, please, go hate on corporate stuff. Go on. Like of course, there are problems with TADC, that happens with literally every indie project! Also the hate for it is insane. Like it's often being compared to Hazbin hotel/helluva boss- which I find really unfair because they are two very different medias. One is meant for adult, and the other seems more aimed towards tweens and teens (and maybe young/new adults) Like one of the reasons people have been hating on tadc is because of the reason Jax is a asshole like- oh golly I'm sorry people like Jax actually exist in the real world lmao. Also the hate for Jax also comes from ppl claiming he is sexyman bait even though Caine is RIGHT THERE IN ALL HIS AI GLORY LMAO. guys Jax is twink bait get it right/j
Now lemme touch on the stans, who are attacking anyone who doesn't like tadc like- mate. Not everyone is like you- like myself, I had a bit of a hard time watching TADC because I'm sensitive to random colors, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it (I watched the OG one with my phone far from my eyes and the lowest brightness it could go, and all the rewatches where edited version that made the colors less bright) The thing is, everyone has a opinion. Some just might not have enjoyed it, and that's fine! Don't attack them for it. It also doesn't help that a lot of stans are mixing up good criticism with hate. Like example, I personally don't like Jax's design. It feels too simple compared to everyone else, but that doesn't mean I hate him or the show as a whole I just- UGH
Now let's talk about the fandom/fandom bait and why it really doesn't matter
Every fandom will have bad eggs, it's a given. It's gonna happen. No matter the fandom. But most of those bad eggs are doing it for attention. They want a reaction, or they want to make the fandom look bad. If you don't give them attention, they'll give up. It's not that hard. I know this is cluttered and all over the place so I'ma link a video (not made by me) that basically says my points in a much cleaner way 
youtube
anyway peace bro *Despawns*

You know shit's going DOWNHILL for Hybe when they start PAYING the SAME journalist who defamed and downplayed Jimin's achievements on Billboard Hot 100, and every other record he got without the company's push to start fabricating dating rumors in order to use that artist as a shield from the backlash the company's already facing under the allegations being made/exposed by MHJ.
Such as the fact that Bongo tried to bribe MHJ into accepting him having NewJeans' album sales inflated so they could "beat aespa's record".
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ALSO:
Tumblr media
(The OP is referring to 2022 when "With You" was released and Jimin's personal information was sold to antis, who spread it to the media to make it seem like Jimin hadn't paid his apartment's rent [its called "health insurance", but in reality its apartment rent] in 3 months, when at the time BTS had been on tour in the US and therefore Hybe should have absorbed the payments until their return. But a manager who was in charge of delivering the mail stole Jimin's for those 3-4 months in order to sell it to antis on DCGallery. And Hybe "allegedly" had no knowledge that this was happening right under their noses and put up that halfassed apology.
And the girl group OP is referring to is Lesseraphim, since at the time one of the former members, Garam, got involved in a very ugly scandal that resulted in her getting kicked out of the agency. OG Armys know about Bighit/Hybe's past scandal with their first gg GLAM and without the fabricated distraction using jimin's mail, this would've put BH/Hybe under a very shitty position infront of investors. )
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Yes, you read all that right, Hybe personally chooses/hires problematic journalists in order to PAY THEM to write articles that favor THE COMPANY. Even if it means damaging their own artist's image/reputation. Like what they've been doing to Jimin since FACE was released last year. ALL of those Weverse Magazine articles that targeted, defamed, downplayed Jimin's achievements, but favored and praised ANOTHER MEMBER, were all PAID and APPROVED by Hybe themselves.
Jimin stans have been warning and talking about this since last year, but nobody believed us. They thought we were throwing baseless allegations "out of jealousy" only for it to be brought to light in the end.
The sales that were stolen and erased from Jimin's album so that he wouldn't get the record of "First 1Million Seller Ksoloist"? Got proven with an official Retail Chart near the end of year that proved Jimin's album had not only sold MORE copies than the other members, but he was the only member who's numbers matched the pre-order with the ones that were actually bought AND shipped/delivered to actual fans (and not some warehouse in China without owners only to be discarded in alleys, train stations and bathrooms << ).
Tumblr media
I wrote something similar to this last year around June, how we should be cautious of content Hybe would be releasing in the following months; with possible shipping content included to benefit only ONE member who was obviously being favored above the others to prove a point.
That the company isn't blind, they KNOW which member currently has a large following of unique loyal fans and if said member wasn't the company's favorite they will do everything they can (rumors, scandals, forced shipping content, ect) to wear out the solo fans and make them leave that member to make him dependent only on the group's fandom or company support (even if its nonexistent).
And it amused me the amount of shippers and company stans that got hella triggered by that post I wrote, even though in the end it all came true.
As for that problematic (crazy bitch) girl from IG claiming to be "jimin's gf" ? Just know that she's been doing this since 2018 to MANY male Idols/Public figures for clout (i guess it helps to boost her already TANKING career as a mediocre "actress").
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hell, she even at some point in the past 2 or 3 years claimed to be f*cking JK too.

The Drone Ranger's Be Kind Rewind ⏪
Tumblr media
A rec reblog series dedicated to the fics that we love so much, we've re-read them!
The Top Gun fandom has been going strong for over a year, and while we continue to churn out amazing new content, let's be kind and rewind to look at some of the OG content we love!
And don't forget to reblog when you re-read! Continue to show your comfort fics and favorite creators some love. It helps keep the fresh content coming :)
I'm kicking off this series by sharing some of my favorite re-reads, as well as one of my own (older) fics I think is worth your time.
Throughout the summer, I'm inviting friends—other creators and readers—to share their lists, so stay tuned!
If you're interested in participating in the Be Kind Rewind, message me! The more, the merrier—let's keep this going as long as we can!
You can also join the tag list here to be notified when a new list drops!
fics below the cut (listed in alphabetical order by title)
Dime Store Cowboy, Jake Seresin, @seasonsbloom This is the first cowboy Jake fic I read, and it's still my favorite! A sweet little two-shot where Jake teaches reader the cowboy hat rule. Yeehaw! 🤠
Flyboy, Jake Seresin, @kryptonitejelly This is the first Jake fic I read and loved. While everything in this universe is fantastic, A Drunken Confession is what my brain immediately goes to when I think of Flyboy.
Full of Surprises, Robert Floyd, @withahappyrefrain This is my gateway fic to the Bob Fucks agenda. And when I saw Abby wrote a follow-up. I damn near died.
The 1%, Bradley Bradshaw, @notroosterbradshaw I know I'm not the only that loves this fic, because it appears on my dash quite frequently. And every time, I re-read and reblog it!
The Boyfriend Experience, Bradley Bradshaw, @notroosterbradshaw Appears less on my dash, but a classic Bradley fic, nonetheless. I recently re-read it and fell in love all over again. Cass is the absolute king of the slow burn. Definitely read everything in this universe!
The Craftsman, Bradley Bradshaw, @roosterforme I'll read about Roo and Baby Girl as long as Em keeps writing about them. Once in a while I like to re-read my favorite moments, and this is one of them! I remember screeching to Em about how much I would love a house hunting fic—she delivered! 🦄
Bonus: The Grey Sweatpants, Bradley Bradshaw I requested this for Roo and BG, and I'm obsessed with it. Em did the concept such justice, and it's so Roo and BG! I hope you enjoy as much I do!
The Only Thing, Jake Seresin, @justfandomwritings This fic is amazing. It's a Jake fic written in Bradley's point-of-view. Sounds weird, but it works so, so well.
Trouble In Paradise, Bradley Bradshaw, @sunlightmurdock The Toxic King 👑 forever my king (don't at me). As is TiP Jake (still one of my favorite Jakes). And this fic is forever in my heart since it's the first one I read in the fandom—what a welcome! I stan the ending, btw. 💛

Would y'all believe me if i said i once made a shitpost dunking on Zutaras for whitewashing Katara's personality and story to use her self-insert by saying Zuko would never date a white girl and some rando Z/K who's url i'd never even seen hoped onto it to say i'm actually the pressed one for 'spamming the tag'(I barely make og Atla posts),that i don't wanna let people ship the noncanon ships(I'm a Ty Luko stan above all else and over half the posts of it on here are by me and i've posted a good amount of Zukka,Katoph and Taang too)and added in the tags that they're 'sick of seeing me everywhere'(jealous people like me��?)and told me to 'grow up'(Ma'am we are both in the fandom for a nickledeon cartoon that ended close to a decade ago).And the kicker is that when i told them this and mocked them for being a weird asshole who dosen't know how to use the block button,they called my post 'a random racially charged statement'(I'm a half white black person),said i was 'playing the victim'(i was literally making fun of them),thought a peak comeback was screenshoting my bio to show i'm trans and have my special interests listed on it so people know if they're into what i post and can decide if they wanna follow me or not and even invented a 'termanlly online tag' just for me because i got that under their skin.I still can't believe that was a real thing that happened in 2023 and that they thought they were being the mature rational one over harrasing a stranger over 'understanding' a kid's show 'better than him' but i'm glad it did because IT WAS THE FUNNIEST FUCKING SHIT,ZUTARAS CAN'T BE REALLLLLLLL

jimin saying he doesn't care about important dates like silver day white day valentines and jungkook not caring about anniversaries or numbers it's bad out here for jikookers💀
You can "not care" about important dates and still celebrate them? I don't give a particular fuck about Valentines Day because it's just a regular day but I still buy my partner flowers. Because I love them. We still take Valentines as an opportunity to be more aware of each other. To make it special because with both of us working full time, it's hard enough already to just survive the day-to-day. Also as an aside: I'm not up to date on all the interviews, so what is the OG ask referring to?
its the way I know JK is straight is the whole being objectively mid looking but somehow so hot to us is a straight man power...
OG ask KNOWS Jungkook? Amazing. Oh to be that blessed lol. Also calling the Jeon Jungkook "objectively mid looking"? What? Who have they been looking at?
if a man is literally awakening female heterosexuality then there's 99% chance that he's straight af. And we know JK is known to be magnet for women falling for him.
Ah yes. Pointing at other people's sexuality to confirm the sexuality of an individual. Legit science right there. This is such a weird point? Also, bisexuality exists?
Also, he treats jimin like utter shit like IS EVERYONE BLINDDDD???? Dont you all love Jimin ? Then why still attaching him to that man who doesn't respect nor does bare minimum things for Jimin ? Jikookers mental institution when
Aaaand another mystery is solved. Let's add another PJM solo stan/akgae to the pile. I don't get why the knee jerk reaction is always calling the members straight which isn't very "speak yourself" of these asshats, and bashing at least one other member of BTS. Get the fuck out of the fandom, honestly. If hating (without an actually sane reason) one part of an insanely close friend group and musical act, if seeing enemies of the one member you prefer everywhere is your daily fan life: touch some grass.
Lol akgaes usually really aren't worth engaging with too seriously because it's literally as frustrating as talking to a brick wall and trying to make the brick get your point. Honestly, that'd probably LESS frustrating because it doesn't come with the gaslighting and ignorance an akgae conversation usually does. Lol they will twist your words constantly and never ACTUALLY want to have a logically conversation. They just want to screech at someone and manipulate anyone who doesn't know better. Don't open yourself up to it, I promise its not worth it 😂🤣

OKAY BUTTTTT, in accordance with your tags. more levi is always needed. but i been thinking that for time like how did he become captain? what was it like being away from the underground? how often does he go back? how did he pick his squad? what was he like before he met furlan etc etc. it’s a need
Yessss Bee you get me!!! The few years between No Regrets and the main story in 850 are criminally under-explored! There's just so much I want to know. Like you just mentioned, living on the surface after a life in the Underground is a big chang. Obviously we know Levi adapts well to unfamiliar environments, but it is a huge change in culture, customs, social norms, the physical conditions are vastly different... since there isn't any light Underground, his circadian rhythm must've been all over the place (and obviously let's not forget his insomnia too), so getting used to a routine that is based on the sun's rise and fall must've been a lot!
I can't imagine he would go back to the Underground often... though I do wonder, in the OVA, we know he and Furlan also ran with some other men like Yan. Does he visit Yan, who also is on the surface? Does he go back to visit, or at least secretly check up on, some of the other men in the gang or people that he used to know? Hmmm
And becoming Captain and the OG Special Ops Squad... I really want to know more about that too! Levi hand-picked them, and clearly trusted in them. We didn't see an awful lot of their dynamic and that's something I would like to see too!! Also I am a Petra stan through there will be NO Petra slander here not on my watch!!
There's still a number of unexplored years between Bad Boy and ACWNR so I wonder what he got up to... more street fights perhaps? I don't think he would've joined a gang during this period; I don't think he could stand most of the gangs out there. I can only picture him doing odd jobs, but never pledging an allegiance to any particular gang until he starts working with Furlan.
On that note, I'm also curious about the early days of Furlan and Levi's partnership. In No Regrets, Furlan mentions that his old gang turned on him all of a sudden, and that he's been with Levi ever since:
Tumblr media
Levi must've really trusted in Furlan to agree to working with him; in Levi's eyes, something must've set Furlan apart from the rest... perhaps it was Furlan's aversion to killing (as seen in No Regrets), or the fact he wanted to leave the Underground, stick it to the MPs, and live a better life? I just want to know about how they (+ Isabel) bonded and reached that level of trust that we see in No Regrets... On that note I want to know more about Furlan and Isabel as well and who they were before ACWNR.
I suppose this is the beauty of fanfic and fandom - we can headcanon and imagine whatever we like to fill up the gaps hehe. But yeah basically TLDR there's just so much more to explore with Levi and what we already have just scratches the surface (despite what some people think)!!

Hello! It's been a while since I was last on your ask inbox. I hope you are doing very well. This is perhaps going to be more of a rant than a regular ask, but I need to say this. I know people are very understandably quite over the topic of TLM 1989 vs TLM 2023 and most would probably prefer to sweep it under a rug. I really can't blame them for letting it go, but given that it's been almost a year since it came out, we could look at it in "retrospect" (I don't think that's quite the right word hehe) and I have to say, the way a lot of its stans continue to talk about this movie like it surpassed the original and even have this slightly disrespectful tone towards it is already very irritating, but one of the things that definitely irritated and even straight-up angered me the most about its reaction was the way they, as a collective, threw OG Eric under the bus in order to prop up the LA version. They literally said that the LA version had deeper feelings and cared far more about Ariel than his original counterpart and the "solid proof" they use to prove this was the Kiss The Girl where in the animated he refused to kiss her whereas in the LA version he was very willing to kiss her and the other scene was where he let Ariel slip down to the ground in the animated whereas in the LA he held her all "protective". They used this as proof that the original was practically a "careless douchebag" compared to the LA one who is the true "romantic and sensitive guy" and that really, really pissed me off, and I know I shouldn't let things like that upset me so much, but it goes to show that none of them ever paid any amount of attention to the original movie. They were practically dragging the original Eric all across the internet for that to prop up the LA version, not taking into account the context of absolutely anything at all. Literally almost nobody viewed him as a douchebag for that and the moment this movie comes along, all of a sudden, he doesn't really care for her and is trash??? They clearly forgot about the "I lost her once. I'm not gonna lose her again" scene, which was excluded in the LA version because he DID give up on looking for her after his mom told him to forget about her because "They can't be together". So much for being such an amazingly caring and romantic guy 🙄 I know you also see through the insane nonsense that is that argument, specially as someone who analyzes classic Disney movies so thoroughly and sees things about them that the average viewer can't see. This seems kind of like a rant, but I saw something related to that and I got so mad. People (outside of the TLM fandom) have always dismissed him as "bland", but this movie seems to have provoked a level of hatred to be thrown at him because they don't find some of his reactions to be "good" and "romantic" enough, but all it shows is how little they actually appreciate and understand the original material. Forgive me for my somewhat long and heavy rant, but I wanted to get it off my chest, and I believe you will understand why this made me so mad even a year later. I'd really like to see your thoughts and feeling on this topic. I certainly let mine be known! 🤣
No, I agree! I have a very dear friend who is also fond of analyzing movies and she, too, loves the Live Action Eric more than the original. And I think people are falling prey to one really subliminal, psychological thing here—we're adults now. And Live Action Eric is handsome, and feels more adult, because he's live-action. So there's this aspect of it that we really weren't feeling or paying attention to on the same level in the animated version: it's basically just his sex appeal. I hate saying it. I hate saying it like that.
But I have to because when you realize that what you're saying is correct—there is NO sense in which Eric in the LA is more caring than the real Eric—then you have to go, "okay, if it's not that, then what is it?"
It's that he has scruff. And a British accent. And a wet-fabric low-cut white shirt on. And then suddenly a movie that was about simple, innocent, young love that you could read about in a fairy tale starts to feel a little more angsty, a little more about passion, a little more like The Vampire Diaries, etc.
I'm not saying they're just preferring the LA Eric carnally. (Sorry.) I'm saying, I think there's a difference between the maturity levels of the romance. Live Action wants you thinking about Eric in terms of adult longing. Animated wants you thinking about Eric in terms of childhood dreams. The problem isn't even that one is more noble than the other (although. yeah.) The problem is that the original movie used the relationship to symbolize an important theme, while the Live Action tries to make the relationship the theme, itself...and then like you said, it backs off on that, because the movie "can't be about a girl giving up her life for a boy," so all that's left is "wanting to date hot seaswept Eric vicariously through Ariel."
When you put something that was animated into Live-Action, it carries this stigma that the Live action will be more relatable and "deep" than the animated version, specifically for adults. So then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy; the adults just choose to respond to material (like a romance between a prince and a mermaid) that is no deeper than the original as if it is deeper, simply because they went in there believing more in the depth.
That's about as plain as I can make that, I think.
You already covered why Eric is definitely caring in the original perfectly, so I won't go into that. But I do think that what people are missing is how good Disney used to be at making sure a character did what he was supposed to do for the story. Animated Eric's whole thing was that he wasn't going to give up on his Fated Dream Girl. He didn't know it was Ariel, but he wasn't willing to give up on her and jump in this girl he found on the beach's arms until he was sure his dream was all wrong. I think people miss that. I think people see his actions as "he wasn't that into Ariel" instead of "he's a good guy who's 1) nervous about kissing a girl and 2) still thinking about Another Girl he believes rescued him from drowning."
And that's punctuated, like you said, at the end when he realizes his Dream Girl was Ariel all along. And then of course he's sacrificing himself to go after her. He was always willing to. He just didn't know what he didn't know. Remember, Eric isn't Boy Ariel. But he does have this in common with her: he really has faith in something other people don't understand. For him, it's an ideal of true love. For Ariel, it's an ideal of a good world outside the one she lives in. But for both it boils down to love. So you're just seeing Eric act accordingly, until he knows that all along Ariel has been the fulfillment of his ideal.
Anyway. You're super kind, but I don't think I'm able to see things other people can't or even won't in Disney movies. I really think everyone sees them, but not everyone feels the need to verbalize them 😅 I also think what the Live Actions do is basically large-scale gaslighting. By "fixing" things that were not mistakes, and changing major aspects of the story while standing on the shoulders of nostalgia and the original's success, the Live Actions make a meta-commentary on the old movies. So people who loved the original Ariel are like, "oh yeah, good point, that always bothered me," when, no it didn't. Not enough to ruin the story.
Anywho. I missed your asks!

Okay, I just saw your other ask about leshley/eagleone and felt like I had to get in on this because ever since RE4Make came out, I've been going crazy over this ship. I have always found it cute in RE4 OG, but now it's driving me crazy. I cannot understand how many people miss the many implications that Leon is trying to flirt during certain parts of the game. Like seriously, come on, pals, he's being so awkward, trying to sound cool and give compliments that end up sounding weirder than he intended. And I don't know if it's just me that noticed this, but I find it funny how Leon talks to Ashley in certain moments like it's the easiest thing to do; then, in other parts, he really has no clue how to speak to her. Does that not scream attraction to anyone?
i'm with you on this one. i don't know how people miss EVERYTHING about them. like they don't even go "oh?" at times when they're playing. it probably depends on the mindset you have when you're playing. if you're hyperfocused on the action, maybe you'll miss it. idk. on social media, there are two broad types of people who have negative reactions when it comes to leon/ashley:
1. aeon shippers (mostly, can be other shippers as well, but they're mostly chill because they themselves get forced into a corner by aeon stans) who think it threatens their ship
2. people who are fiercely anti-romance when it comes to whatever media they consume and consider it to be dumb and actively making a good piece of media worse (because in their eyes, romance is a lowly preoccupation to have)
and both groups are super bitter for no reason lmaoooo. you might have noticed a tendency in media discourse recently on social media that is very anti-romance - a few weeks ago, it became a whole thing on twitter because of the bear (the tv show) and the ship between sydney and carmy, to the point where even official media outlets started talking about it. romance is considered dumb. everything that contains romance is essentially a bad soap opera. blah blah blah we're all too smart for that. there's a very strong, almost puritanical anti-sex sentiment going around at the moment as well, and i wish it was just some isolated issue within fandoms overpopulated by young teens, but people lost their minds over two sex scenes in oppenheimer for god's sake. and if i had the time and willpower and knowledge, i'd turn this into a discussion about how that ties into humans being obsessed with moving away from every single instinct that they have, but well.
i also agree with the second part of your ask, about leon's attitude towards ashley. tbh, leon can't flirt for shit: most of the time, he's awkward (RE2R, the fence scene with claire: i can never tell if he's attempting to flirt, or if he's just awkward because there's a cute girl right in front of him) or even downright unfunny (was he trying to flirt with jill in death island? was he trying to lighten the mood? idk man leon is a bit of a whore so). he tries to flirt all the time: we got shen may in infinite darkness, ada, etc. we know he isn't smooth.
so one thing that really sticks out in RE4R is his tone with ashley, in two specific instances (maybe more): the one i mentioned in my previous ask, when he says "i can catch you", and when he sees ashley asleep on the bed in chapter 13 (and calls out to her). these are two very intense and high-stress situations where he kind of reverts back to RE2R leon (nick does a great job at conveying the difference in maturity in leon's voice in both games). he's very distressed. why does that matter? because fucking shouting ashley's name when there are two enemies 10 meters away (we know that, he doesn't, but the island is riddled with ganados, so why would he even try?) is the stupidest decision a special agent could make. and yet he does it anyway. there are other instances of leon being in a similar situation, yet he still retains that deeper tone of his - see his first encounter with krauser in chapter 11.
and it's not just because he's doing his job, which is what one of my friends argued, because you don't go around flirting with the person you're tasked to rescue for shits and giggles. not to mention, that's the president's daughter. if he was just doing his job, he'd stick to the plan, be stoic and get her home and that's it. that's what's required of him. implying that the first daughter is hot as fuck and that he doesn't usually enjoy his regular missions nearly as much as he does when he's with her isn't part of his job description. there's a difference between being a decent guy and not treating her like cargo, and overtly flirting with her.
i think he's also very awkward with her at first because he's toeing the line between what's acceptable and what isn't, so he can figure out if there is grounds for flirting and it's not wholly unwanted on ashley's part. then you get that pep talk in the castle, which is when they really start to get comfortable with each other and when he attempts some physical contact that isn't just 100% necessary. she reacts well, which explains why he takes it further in chapter 9. he spends the rest of the game painfully distressed and by chapter 16, they're all over each other (jetski + taking her hand to run to the elevator - leon, the girl is smart, she knows how to run and follow you).
leon has a crush. plain and simple. he doesn't know how to deal with it, except for the few times when he does and the flirting is technically reciprocated. idk how people can't notice the plain signs of attraction, even in a generation that is as recluse and introverted as mine tends to be, but they're very obvious once you start paying attention.

Just here to scream into the void about how i managed to be fully indifferent abt 🤢 her for SO many years, i literally could not be bothered to give a fuck, and then all of the sudden i COULD NOT escape that woman no matter what, because somehow a good 40% or more of my fandom's content had her in it in some way, and that's literally what turned me into a hater. I knew fuckall about her before this and would have happily continued on but the more i kept seeing her shitty lyrics and obsessed fans the more sick i got of her and started scrolling the anti tag JUST so i didn't feel like the only person not in a cult
literally me. i got into another fandom recently out of nostalgia and i had to unfollow so many of my fave blogs bc they were excitedly posting about ttpd. btw half of the ship we all stan is a woman of color. and I also joined the anti tag bc i felt fucking crazy that so many ppl stan her 😭 i feel like the only person in the world who remembers her fucking racial transgressions even in the anti tag. but i agree fandom culture is in its dark ages because of the way its being held hostage by swifties. like the fact we feel ALIENATED should be proof alone of how the chokehold taylor has on fandom culture rn. i basically ghosted the og fandom that forced me to make this blog because EVERY NEW PERSON IS A FUCKING SWIFTIE. you’re always safe and welcome here anon to vent about fandom and fandoms being hijacked by swifties.
ALSO LAST THOUGHT: have you guys noticed how swifties make the characters SOOOOO OOC? LIKE THEY MISCHARACTERIZE THEM SO BAD! ALL SO THEY CAN JUSTIFY THE CHARACTER PLAYLIST THEY MADE FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH TS SONGS!!!

Hiii! Do you ever see GoT writers, actors or even D&D confessing their plan of Jonsa or the reason Jonsa parallel Ned&Cat and even Jaime&Cersei? Something in the line of: okay, this was the plan but we changed our minds because X. That would give me soooo much peace. The foreshadowing and parallels were so obvious it makes me anxious when I remember the real ending.... even if they never get together. But what happens in between.
I would love an explanation too! I sometimes try to put myself in D&D's shoes and imagine what their platonic explanation could be for all the parallels/contrasts they created for Jonsa, and I actually think that the Cersei and Jaime connections would be the easiest to rationalize, but the fact that they also paralleled them with Braime is what makes it seem like it wasn't just a healthy sibling duo in contrast to Cersei/Jaime, it wasn't just about showing us the difference between Cersei and Sansa as leaders, it felt romantic! Especially as that convo carried through to the ending, Jon and Jaime were being paralleled and juxtaposed, both choosing their sisters over someone else, but Jaime choosing his "evil queen," Jon rejecting his, which means, you can't say it was accidental, they were intentionally doing that in s7-8.
Obviously, in the books the NedCat 2.0 idea will be a thing, we've already gotten comments about Jon and Sansa individually looking like the og, so D&D inserting that with the redux of NedCat scenes, ok, not necessarily romantic, maybe just a nod to the books, maybe they overdid it, but their motives were pure. Except, they included the choking LF scene. Jealously, rage, desire to kill. Sure, of course, LF deserved it, but then they also had Sansa be angry and jealous in s8, and again, there are platonic explanations for some of it, but it crosses the line, particularly in the feast scene. At that point it feels like it's more, something else.
(And let's not even talk about the parallels with Robb and Talisa, Sam x Gilly, or Gendrya.)
But will they ever tell us anything? Well, let's say TWOW comes out in a year or two and Jonsa is a thing in the books. We absolutely would have the entire fanbase revisiting Jonsa's odd chemistry in the show and rethinking things, and I bet, yeah, we'd finally get a reporter who would ask a useful question regarding the Jonsa scenes. Or, say Kit goes for it in Jon's spin-off, we'd definitely get some new insight into the acting choices he made in s6-8.
Absent of that, I can't imagine getting confirmation? Mainly because, it's not just an unpopular ship, it's hated. Dany stans, Targ stans, Jon stans, I saw all of them taking comfort in the midst of their rage and grief that at least Jonsa didn't happen. Any hint that show Jonsa in some form was real is probably the only thing that would make people hate the last season/finale more. Considering how disgusting our fandom is (they harassed child actors because they hated the characters they played, they ship the actors with other actors, bully them off social media, stalk them...) I don't see the upside of bringing it up and there is a big downside.
If they had the cover of Martin's books or a new show, D&D could say they didn't do it because it was weird but here's how they hinted at it or Kit could say it grossed him out but he tried to subtly include it. Presented that way, people could be sympathetic to them, not blame them, so I could see that. But if they just announced, "Yep, Jon had Targy feelings for Sansa," I don’t think people would take it well!

I love it when Company Stans finally open the 3rd eye in their butthole to realize that the company is NOT their friend.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The company is NOT your friend.
Hybe does NOT care what the fans want.
Bang PD is NOT your friend, he is NOT the "father figure", the savior or the hero armys have made him out to be all these years.
He's the biggest money and power hungry manipulator, gaslighter, gatekeeper and bully of them all.
He even admitted openly in an interview into GASLIGHTING and GROOMING the members for YEARS (since they were minors) in order to force them into WORKING HARDER. Sometimes overworking them into exhaustion, sickness and even injury. That's his "secret formula to BTS' success".
Bang PD is NO DIFFERENT from any other asshole in the industry.
We've been telling ya'll for YEARS about this, but instead of heeding our warnings you tried to silence us OG fans, 'cause the illusion of the "perfect family" would crumble and you'd be forced into admitting that BH/Hybe was no better than SM. But that's exactly what is happening now, everything Armys have criticized/condemned for years from other labels, artists, and fandoms is coming back to bite them in the ass.
Now we got Scooter Braun in the mix also taking advantage of the artists and fandom. He openly MOCKS and HARASSES Armys on social media for being against him.
Hybe Staff that are part of HIS team are now also openly mocking armys on social media for the multiple boycotts going on (the protest trucks around Seoul for the company's lack of transparency & failure to protect the members against malicious messages, the boycott against the member's merch or content being aired in Isr*el, ect).
