I used to despise Eridan and think he was the absolute worst character (barring Cronus ig) but you have shown me the light and completely turned my opinion around and now I think he is such an endearing little freak <3 I read your whole blog already but if you've got any more thoughts on eri or anyone else then I hope you post them bc I'd love to hear more abt it!
i have sooo many controversial opinions about the dancestors you have noooooo idea

TBOSAS was a great movie and an even greater miss---here's why:
The problem here is no fault of the movie. It's not that it isn't a good adaptation or that it cut out too many important scenes. The casting was amazing, the acting phenomenal, the writing and plot translated immaculately into the screenplay format, and the ending was tragically beautiful. All of those boxes are ticked. The problem lies with one thing: Coriolanus Snow.
To understand what I mean, I'll bring the main trilogy to the stand. All of the books were written in first person from Katniss's pov. There were things that we as the audience don't know because Katniss doesn't know them and vise versa all do to her inner monologue. But there are also things we as the audience do know that Katniss doesn't because she's an unreliable narrator. She often misreads people because, whether she'll admit it or not, she's highly suspicious of those that aren't obviously weaker than her and is quick to judge in general. Her biases and black and white moral standpoint can be attributed to her environment, ptsd, and, though not confirmed, Autism (source: I'm actually Dr. Autism) or bpd. So, in this case, she's unreliable, but we understand it's not malicious and it was translated well in the movie (i.e. her thinking Peeta wanted her dead, her thinking Peeta is only acting like he's in love with her, her misconceptions about Finnick.)
Coriolanus Snow on the, other hand, is an entirely different case. He's a bad person at the start of the book and that isn't up for debate. His thoughts about Lucy Gray should make you angry, let alone about people who knew and cared for him for years (Tigris and Sejanus). He is also an unreliable narrator, but in a completely different sense than him. While hers is founded in ignorance and defensiveness, his is built in paranoia and narcissism. He's obsessive, possessive, demeaning to any and everyone, and thinks he's owed more than he is and hates anyone that has what he doesn't. We get all this through his inner thoughts as well (him hating the very idea of Lucy Grey being with anyone before him and likening her to a whore---implying she's slept with peacekeepers, wanting to own her in the literal sense of the word hating Sejanus for having basic human empathy, hating looking down on the Plinths who have been nothing but kind to him, so on and so forth). I say he's bad because, though he hasn't done any of the horrible things he thinks about or acts on them is because he didn't have the power or social standing to back them, something he has plenty of as a president. All this to say, the movie lacks that insight into the character that we gain with Katniss. Enough that people that have only watched the movie genuinely believe he was a nice person drove to the brink or thought there was a little gray area in regards to his morality. Enough that people that think the actor is hot will say they like "Coryo" not Snow, or some people send hate mail to the author because they think she tried to humanize him/excuse his behavior, the exact opposite of the point of the book. I don't fault the movie too harshly for this too harshly. Other than having a voice over, they could do very little to convey his every horrid thought. And because of this and Tom's phenomenal acting, Snow was able to manipulate the audience just like everyone else he fucked over.
Snow is a narcissist who can't wrap his mind around people genuinely being kind while having no ulterior motives, because he would never do that from the kindness of his heart. He thinks everyone is trying to back stab him and want to turn on him and are out to get him or are trying to embarrass him because that is what he would do if he was in their position. Unlike Katniss, he can read people and he can act his ass off, but unlike Katniss, he can't see the best in people because he doesn't want to/it doesn't benefit him. He had many opportunities to do the right thing or the kind thing and actively chose not to.
He, more than anyone in the Capitol, even more than Sajanus, should know what the Districts go through. He grew up poor, starved, and was forced to grow up too soon. He knows what it means to have nothing, be starved, and go into the arena and almost be killed. Yet, he looks down on them and sends children who were younger than him when he went into the arena, to their deaths because it benefits him.
He's a horrible person. He's always been bad, but he strove to be worse. I'm not saying the movie wasn't able to portray this in it's own way, but since it's not as obvious and in your face if you're too focused on how cute you think his face is, you can miss it. You'll find reasons to justify his actions just like he does and, ironically, become like his inner monologue where he continuously made himself the victim in almost every scenario.
Again, great movie! Fantastic even, my I beg of you, read a book. Or watch a youtube essay about it.

yknow its probably a good thing that the themes of control and the fact that frisk doesnt equal the player etc werent like the Main thing with undertale because the fandom so horribly interpreted everything about it early on that it served as a great display of what toby needed to do to Not Mess It Up in deltarune where its basically the whole point

You know what, i feel bad for Misha, this is our god damn fault, we should have never made such a fuss over a joke and some mumbled words. we are the assholes in this situation we forced him to do this. Don't treat him as a liar or think he did this for fun, it was a legit accident, we are the ones who blow things out of proportion. I hope he's ok.
let's be clear: this isn't the fault of fans. misha is an adult capable of thinking through his own decisions. he has decades of experience dealing with fans. he has 10+ years of experience specifically dealing with fans from the spn fandom. he knows that the fans care a lot about queer rep and that every small comment he makes, especially about queer issues, can quickly travel through social media.
he had every good reason to believe that a comment like the one he made would blow up. and every fan who was happy to hear a comment like that and chose to celebrate did nothing wrong! there are fans that look up to him! who identify with him! who have him as their role model! even misha knows that.
misha does not need to be coddled and protected by us. his job description includes that he should be capable of contending with the consequences of what the public may say or think about him. that he should be able to know that, very similarly, what he may say can affect him too!
let's not blame queer fans for being happy to think someone might be like them! especially when it was misha who misspoke. especially when the statement he made was pretty clear about being bisexual when he was not. if someone says "i am all three of them" after listing three qualities, then it is not wrong to assume that all three qualities apply to that person. in fact, that's how language works.
so it's pretty clear that it was not the fans who made a mistake here. it was misha. so let misha own his own mistakes! he's done that by taking the step to apologize on twitter. he's doing the right thing. he'll be okay. the fans shouldn't feel like they've done something wrong when they haven't!

Chapitre 195 - The Border of Worlds
The splash text reads:
That is the incident of an instant
But it feels like
One's been waiting a long time
Oh this is gorgeous. Future version of Sakura meeting and reassuring her child self? Or, alternate timeline versions of Sakura meeting?
I love the way the wings are show here - she’s flying upward, but they’re also curling around her like a snare or a trap. The younger Sakura - if that even is her real name, it seems like it isn’t - looks up at the older version of her self with an almost dreamlike glaze over her eyes, like she’s seeing the future. Maybe this is what her vision looked like - maybe an older version of Sakura showed her the future and prepared her for what was going to happen. 
And you could make your own conclusion over whether the older Sakura is drawing her forward towards a future that’s worth getting to, or comforting her as she falls into the same dark fate that got her too.  
Or I suppose the secret third option is that this is a version of the afterlife and the older Sakura is welcoming the tiny child who’s about to meet her there, but maybe we’re getting ahead of ourselves!
Will tiny ‘Sakura’ survive the ruins? Will she live the next ten years with Lava Lamp? Or does something BAD happen in the ruins right now and Lava Lamp has to turn back time to fix it? Meaning he spends ten years with another version of Sakura, and everything is slightly different, and he always wished he could save THIS version of Sakura too?
At the very least we have options!

not someone commenting on tams to tell me to update taob. what if you fucked off forever
#the actual nerve of some people like it's bad enough getting those kinds of comments ON taob#bc obviously any comment along the lines of 'im literally begging you to update' is gonna piss the fuck out of a writer#BUT TO DO IT ON A DIFFERENT FUCKING FIC????? HAVE A HORRIBLE DAY#and the fact these people not only dont think they're doing anything wrong but think they're COMPLIMENTING ME#'i love your writing so much please update taob' IS NOT A FUCKING COMPLIMENT. LET ALONE ON A FIC THAT HAS NO RELEVANCE TO TAOB#WITH NO MENTION OF TAMS IN THE COMMENT EITHER. NO 'I REALLY LIKE THIS FIC. UPDATE TAOB' not that that would make it okay#but the utter audacity of it all is jarring. how are you gonna clearly have read tams and felt the need to comment#just to have NOTHING to say about it and tell me to update a different fic. actually fuck off#ending the comment with 'okay i love you' do you now. do you really. well it's unrequited babe. fuck off#you people make me mad sometimes istg#'hella why are you always so negative about taob's popularity' when i get something good out of it i'll let you know#edit: they left that comment on ch1 of tams which actually implies they didn't even read it which is somehow. worse#like they've clearly just clicked on it with no regard for the passion and effort i put into it seeing as it's a WHOLE SEPERATE FIC#and considered only that i might give the comment more attention if it was on tams not taob. what the actual fuck is the thought process#in what WORLD is someone taking that as a compliment. in what world am i gonna go 'omg writing it rn just for you bestie 🥺'#actually fuming about this idk why this one has got to me so much the utter CHEEK of it all has really knocked me sideways lmaooo
