#this is more of a rant than a complaint

[scuopsie]

Does anyone else feel… bored? Not even necessary on tumblr. But in mbb verse or kpop in general.

Like… monsta x are on tour and i feel like we have so little content (especially here on tumblr)? Which doesn’t make sense.

#this is more of a rant than a complaint #and definitely not a complaint at update accounts. thats not what this is about #like sure we’re getting fancams every stop but thats not all concerts were about #i mean… I remember from my previous experiences when my ults would tour aside from getting the usual fancams #we’d be getting so many interaction vids going viral #and ments #ments were so huge…. they were usually different at every concert and after every shown we had to wait for them to get translated #(ofc this isnt the case here bc mx are touring the us and they either speak eng or they have a live translator) #but i feel like im barely seeing anything new every stop #idk if they’re not happening or they are but just not going viral #like… sure there are a lot of clips on twt but i fucking hate consuming shit there #and no one reposts stuff on tumblr anymore #Ame is inactive and im clearly not doing it #and i know these clips arent something update accs usually repost #like does anyone else remember having 3-4 different angles of an interaction or an incident that everyone would talk abt for days? #like i cant tell if im growing out of mx/kpop or is it just genuinely not as fun as it used to be #i dont even make sense to me so if anyone else feels remotely the same please come forward im going insane ldfkkdkd #niki screaming into the void #another thing #weren’t a lot of these old hilarious vlives that we talk abt to this day from tour eras? #like them just doing group vlives in their hotel rooms and doing/saying dumb shit? #what a situation bro? prank call? minhyuk and jooheon’s secret bonding experience? #im pretty sure all of this happened in hotel rooms #AND SO MANY MORE

#hello i come with an unpopular opinion. a complaint if you will. #i'm fully aware that what happens on (nsfw) tumblr is never serious. or almost never. #i know most of us talk to or have talked to our mutuals before. we've flirted. maybe sexted why not #and we've probably reused compliments on different people more than once #but believe it or not some of us like to be made to feel special sometimes #and when someone is VERY openly telling every hot person the same things over and over i find it discouraging lol #like why would i talk to them if they're gonna use the same compliments I CAN SEE them using on literally everyone they reblog from 😭 #again i know tumblr is unserious and we talk to a lot of people all the time #i've done it before and will continue to do so. reusing compliments i mean. but i don't make it obvious cause i VERY rarely reblog people #anyways please ignore me i'm just ranting #i don't like to feel like i'm literally just one more from the pile of hot chicks around here #i think that's why i only talk to a couple of mutuals lol #I SAID MY RANT WAS UNSERIOUS OKAY i know tumblr is just for funsies and (most times) nothing real comes out of it but still. #have a good day everyone love yous

Okay incoming rant about the kdrama goblin under the cut

To note: i am currently right after episode 7 so i do not have all the info

I find the main couple's dynamic REALLY icky and honestly I can't suspend my concerns for the sake of the story..

The main girl had been told she would be the Goblin's bride since she was a literal CHILD, she has no friends, no support system and no one to look out for her.

Her only place to live is the Goblin's house which means she has to bend to his every whim even the ones he thinks are as a joke. And sure WE might assume he wouldn't actually kick her out but SHE doesn't know that.

The only other people in her life are; the guy tasked with killing her, Sunny (i love her but girl is too busy with.. life(?) to care for a teenager) and the Chaebol who only listens to the Goblin and the grandpa (who only listens to the Goblin)..

Literally her life and her stability and her ability to be housed, fed and able to study entirely relies on the guy she's been told she would marry since forever.

She is NINETEEN YEARS OLD!!!

He is 937!!!!!

She is entirely dependent on him, as been led to believe (not wrongly but still) that he needs her not for her but for the sword thing (WHICH SHE STILL DOESNT KNOW ACTUALLY DOES).

This is like the perfect setting for the worst power dynamic ever for the most dangerous relationship ever.

He calls her "child" even in his head.

He KNOWS she's a literal kid particularly compared to him.

He still acts like a jealous toddler when she tries to meet people, gives her the silent treatment followed by love bombing, went to try to intimidate a guy (WHO HE KNEW WHEN HE WAS A TODDLER) because she was happy to see him??????????

He literally almost killed her with a little push.

The 'saving her' moment was supposed to look romantic but honestly it's horrifying how much power he holds over her at all time when she's so young and so alone and so dependent.

She literally felt badly enough to work two jobs as well as school to try to get a place to avoid his mistreatment!!!

and like it's supposed to be played as 'teasing' and 'jealousy' and 'emotional' but honestly it grosses me out.

He gets mad if she asks questions (most things), if she doesn't ask questions (particularly when it rains), if she tries to see him or if she tries to avoid him.

AM I SUPPOSED TO ROOT FOR THEM??????????????

Literally only watching for Mr. grimreaper and Sunny because the main couple gives me hives rn

#will not tag the drama cause i dont want fans to attack me or to have to see this rant #but since the above cut title was the shorthand and there are many shows called goblin #it's the one that goes on with 'lonely and great god' #a very very popular one #which is surprising with what im currently witnessing #at first i hoped nothing romantic would happen until a timeskip forward which would be weird but A LOT LESS #and then they kissed and he said he wanted to be her bf???? #like.. he still calls her child.. and then wants to be her bf in the same sentence.. like he literally thinks “this child” blalblabla #before AND after kissing her and the bf thing. #anyways #aiden originals #kdrama #don't recommend #will update if i change my mind or if i have more complaints (the former a lot less likely than the latter)

New getter brain worms have been so bad and I haven’t even finished a rewatch with my friend or the damn au fic I’m working on but I’m still baffled people said “It LoOkS bAd” and so tempted to do compilation of some of its best chronographic animation even if I’ll be stirring a pot- which I don’t want but man I’m so sick of the art style slander when it has one of the most unique styles I’ve seen in a show. Just because it’s stiff most of the time or can’t be in a higher resolution doesn’t mean it can’t look good or have some great animation every so often because it sure as hell does and I’m sick of pretending it doesn’t!

#getter robo #new getter robo #getter robo ovas #mecha rambles #unpopular opinion #I know people don’t hate it art style wise as much as arc but god if the stupid complaints still don’t exist #Also I was nice in the text but I’m gonna start ranting in the tags #stop pretending Armageddon was peak animation it had terrible frames #you only like it over new because it’s art style is “prettier” which is a disrespect to the art director for new #who made sure the characters looked closer to the manga but still had their own spin to them #You’re just mad New has more hand to hand fight scenes well animated than big robots punching each other #and even the Getter fights are still good despite not being as fluid as arma’s #overall SvN is the best looking one though but New deserves so much more praise and less cherry picking

damn do all the endings of resident evil games suck or is it just the newer ones

#i just finished village #like both it and biohazard have such dumb endings #biohazard is sooo good up until the fucking. exposition boat #and both of these have such obxious final or final adjacent bosses #that feel so out of place #either feeling like an action movie or a zelda boss #which is not good for a survival horror #i think they do the best when it's more close-quarters and puzzle solving #like my favorite sections of this and biohazard are donna and lucas' respectively #but this and biohazard are the only resident evil games i've played #but i've played biohazard many times it's one of my all-time favorite horror games (EXCEPT for that ending) #and overall i did like village quite a bit. the ending i didn't care for and the factory section was a little frustrating #but other than that i mostly had a really good time with it #i got it as a gift pretty soon after it came out but i wasn't able to play it until recently because my old computer couldn't run it #also. a big complaint for me with the ending. is making ethan more than Just Some Guy #because that's something i think is such an essential part of a good horror game for me #making him secretly special or already dead (???) or whatever just kills that for me #this is why outlast is still my favorite horror game of all time. miles is Just Some Guy #anyway i could rant more about this but i don't know if you guys want my Horror Game Hot Takes (tm) #what do you have to say doll?

Hi Cece! I don't know where else to ask about this, but are people aware that Somik-Severinka completely stole another simmer's notes and then went and monetized all the custom recipe stuff? I thought it is about time to say something somewhere, because they've gone a long time now without giving any credit or thanks whatsoever. Thank u and I hope you have a good day!

Hey idk anything about this bestie, I don't really know the creator you're talking about very well. If you have proof of this I'd say try going to the original creator and seeing what they have to say about it, if they want to say something I'll gladly boost their voice on the subject but otherwise there isn't much I can offer. It's not my work/tou so it's more up to them to speak about if they find it necessary I suppose? If the original creator makes/made a post feel free to drop me the link and I'll reblog it though.

#asks #anonymous #ceci speaks #the patreon issue #nonny complaints #i dont wanna say its not my business but its not my business ya know #btw im posting this bc i get a lot of anons like this just about every day #and this is basically my feelings on them #in general #'call out posts' arent worth the effort or time to make them #will change nothing #and are more of a spectacle for people to gawk at and be entertained with on here #the main purpose is either circlejerk material or a prop to pretend to care about when convenient #im not trying to be cynical at u nonny u seem like youre being nice about it #but more to all the people reading this #i am jaded with shit like this bc its either an uphill battle or completely useless #and so much of this community is frankly vile that i cant bring myself to care like i used to #i will boost other ppl and my blocklist grows every day but other than that #im not really going to post stuff like this anymore #sorry u had to endure this rant in the tags nonny lol #yours is just the nicest of these anons ive received lately tbh #so this is the one i used #tldr: im not simblr's news network anymore and most of the 'justice' on here is just for show anyway & means absolutely nothing overall #negative #wish id realized this long ago tbh

This is both a personal opinion and an opinion that might come off as snobbish to some, but I think that for a derivative work (prequels/sequels, adaptations, spoofs, fanfic, whatever) to be really good it has to engage meaningfully with the original text.

And by that I don't necessarily mean strict faithfulness to the original - subversion and satire are forms of engagement. But in kinda the same way that you have to know the forms before you can meaningfully break them, a creator has to demonstrate that they understand the original text before the choice to depart from it becomes interesting. If punctuation starts to get haphazard when the POV character's thoughts are racing anxiously, that conveys meaning. If punctuation is always haphazard, the only thing it means is that the writer needs a better editor. Likewise I think reinterpretation done well can be almost endlessly interesting. But straight up ignoring the themes or characterization of the original text basically always just reads as bad storytelling - and bad regardless of how interesting those choices might be in isolation! - because good storytelling requires attentiveness and specificity.

Obviously this is always going to be subjective to a certain extent. But my underlying complaint with both a lot of sequels or adaptations (otherwise well-made and well-acted) and a lot of fanfics (otherwise well-written on a technical level) is that they feel less like a narrative conversation, and more like a creator mashing their dolls together in a way that they personally find compelling but which has nothing whatsoever to do with the dolls themselves. One is annotation, or editing, or correspondence: continually expanding upon or picking apart or circling around a particular idea so that the discussion gets richer and more nuanced as it goes on. The other is opening a Word document, erasing everything there, and writing something unrelated without changing the name of the save file.

And at that point it's like - the story you're trying to tell might even be a good one! But both your story AND the original text would probably be better served if you just told it from scratch, rather than trying to shoehorn a square peg into a round hole because the round hole has brand-name recognition.

#cue people getting really up in arms about policing fanfic but like. read and/or write what you like i'm not stopping you #but i do think that storytelling is communication #and talking over someone without acknowledging anything they said is a bad way to communicate #even a good argument requires you to first acknowledge what someone said before you refute it #(tho believe it or not this is more a rant about hollywood than fanfic just so happens it's the same broad complaint) #my posts #fandom #fanfic #on writing

tumblr has this really weird thing where expressing frustrations with a class of people who are privileged in some way is considered just as bad (worse even) than a person from that privileged group actively punching down and/or hurting you and your community

#saying the right thing and sounding good quickly becomes more important than actually addressing real issues #and i think it's in large part because if you can waive away any complaints from marginalized people #you don't have to actually examine yourself and how you think about/interact with the world #you get to look socially conscious while siding with the status and doing nothing #a black person complaining about the way white people treat them doesn't need you to write a huge post about how they're wrong #a disabled person joking about how weird ableds get around them is not an invitation to rant about ''not all ableds'' #etc #tumblr and the internet at large are embracing the dogma of ''reverse racism" #and applying the idea to every identity under the sun #and i hate it so much it's unreal #literally half of the people on here would be indistinguishable from the fundies i grew up with if not for the language #or the devil's advocate film bro somehow in every class ever #this post was inspired by a post in which a neurodivergent person talked about the frustration of trying to communicate with nts #and the notes were either shitting on them in faux moral outrage #or giving *great* advice that boils down to ''just learn to read normal people social cues you stupid autistic #with no actual idea of how to do that #y'all should brunch with autism moms at this point i stg

I think I figured out why season 3 felt a little off to me. Don't get me wrong, I like it, like its solid. But I have a feeling Disney had a very big sway with the script this season because how much money the show is making. Which makes sense.

But the way they are showing how the New Republic fell feels off. The fall of The Old Republic felt so much different because of how deeply the fall was planned, whereas here, it doesn't really feel as fleshed out or thought out as much. Or just the way it is portrayed doesn't really show the whole picture, which can be revealed later, which would be cool.

With Bo and Din. Din's character feels different because Bo came to the forefront, and Din's personality lowkey faded. It's still there, but he comes off as actually helpless a bit this season. Which, don't get me wrong isn't necessarily a bad thing. Side characters are great. But when they take over the MC for ages, it comes off strangley and comes off as the side character taking over the show. This has happened before in other media, and it was fine, I'm not complaining about that as much. Bo is solid, but I wish they would address her sister and the other events that happened before the purge, but thats just me being lore hungry. Stories can have side plot and have side characters be part of the main plot.

Also, the romance plot with Bo and Din. I don't really see it. Like, at all. I may be missing some subtext, but I see like nothing.

I may be wrong. Something cool may happen next week, which would be pog. But I am starting to notice something going on with the script and Disney. I saw it with Kingdom Hearts 3, I hope they don't so it with this show.

I like this show very much. Also, I'm glad Din got to throw the dark saber at Bo. Mans did NOT want it.

I kinda want to like Lowhunt, like it's a cute ship and all(when done correctly. *ahem.*) but I just get it recommended to me so much as someone who personally doesnt ship it for personal reasons its kind of annoying and puts me off from it even more.

#maybe its something ive done to not properly curate my experience #but i could swear ive seen more for this ship than the CANONICALLY EXPLICITLY GAY WLW SHIP #even in the tag for Luzmity some of the. most popular posts. are more about hunter and willow. than THE FUCKING CANON BI AND LESBIAN COUPLE #incorrect ship names to avoid this popping up in the tags #sorry im an annoying little gay person lmao #not art #text post #vent #bunbon overshares on the internet #and i do follow people who ship it but thats cause i like their other art. #another thing about not shipping something thats 'canon' is that i cant find a lot of good artists that dont draw it #rant in the tags #plus another apology because i really am so annoying also #its like a repeat of my last fandom. where i disagreed with most of the fandom on this one thing #and it became outright uncomfortable for me to interact with canon or the majority of the fandom #and i feel like its gonna happen again if lowhunt becomes canon #yeah theres nothing objectively wrong with it and most people ive seen are pretty good about it #im not gonna pretend like im morally superior for not shipping it or anything #because most of the complaints i have about it are things im guilty of in other ways #i just wish people werent so in-your-face about it yk? #i will probably end up deleting this at some pointttttt #bunbon is a stinky little hypocrite

seeing gifs for s11 and not having watched it is so fucking weird. why are they wearing suits.

#i cannot express how much i dislike a season that i have never even seen #this isn't even for reasons you would think i would hate it for. i just hate how it looks so fucking different #this is a problem i have with 9 and 10 and it's prob because of the fucking time skip #its so frustrating!!! i hate going from ''ah we've ended the war'' to ''ah rick is dead question mark?'' to- #-''7 years later! we fucking hate eachother! ^-^'' #it's so awful my god #i never thought that i could like a show that somehow made me MORE FRUSTRATED. THAN SUPERNATURAL 😭 #also pleaseee don't assume i think s7-8 are perfect bc negans in his prime in them. an old man can only distract me for so long 😭 #i barely had any complaints about the show until they got to alexandria actually #this was such a long ass rant to be sparked from looking at a gifset oh my god 💀

honestly it really sucks trying to write about women or characters of color in fandom, not just because people ignore it, but because everything I try to create gets overshadowed by people constantly saying "no one writes about women!" "no one writes about characters of color!" "why are all these bad people interested in the wrong things!!! I'll tell you why!!!" and then the tens of thousands of people sharing those posts, and moreover the people writing those posts, still ignore my fucking fics

#look i said something #you can go to the blogs of 90% of people reblogging those posts and at least half of people writing them and it's nothing but white men #and here's the kicker. the people making the slightly annoying posts about 'I like what I like stop calling me a bigot'? those people #those people have WAY more women. and noticeably more people of color. in their random reblogs. and even their original content #like it honestly is so fucking depressing trying to write about women or nonwhite characters because so much is just that #like there's no art and no fic it's just complaint after complaint after complaint. and then long rants about how bigoted everyone is #it's such a negative environment it's pretty clear why people avoid it. at least your white dude blorbo has fic and art in his tag #and not just a bunch of people venting about how the canon mistreated the character and the fandom mistreats the character #and everyone's writing her wrong even tho clearly CLEARLY no one is writing her at all #they're just trying to depress anyone who likes her out of fandom altogether by making it so miserable to try to like these characters #sharing those posts is such performative wokeness #people want to complain so much more than they want anything to change for the better

I thought I swore off my hero academia years ago but here I am reading Yesterday Upon the Stair. Not particularly interesting (not a fan of Fanon Deku) and hard to read (cringy) at some points, but I was curious about what people were raving about. Maybe it’ll get better in the next 50 chapters. Just gotta hold out and maybe I’ll find a great fic. 4/10 so far.

#complaint time yay #I was a bit wary of the fic due to the BAMF tag but still expected the scenes to be minor #fortunately there are like maybe two scenes that ‘fit’ that tag so far #on the other hand the writing hyper focuses on whatever Deku’s up to so the aforementioned scenes really stand out #the scene where Deku first goes ‘my friends are scarier than you’ really pulled me out of the fic immediately #when he starts trash talking bakugou I was convinced he was going to get an ass beating (because it’s pre redemption bkg) but bkg just… let #him go away? (according to my memory but it’s really trash) #the second scene where his weird tagline shows up again against shigiraki the part where we usually get to see other classmates interact #with Deku he starts pulling out the intimidation tactics? and they’re working? it’s so jarring I actually had to look away from my phone to #process it. everybody hates writing about large groups of characters but the background characters in this fic are so in the background you #don’t even hear about them. I saw platonic tddk in the tags and he’s been mentioned once? by bakugou? #the fic is so focused on Deku that you barely know if canon is happening in the background #a more in depth description of his childhood would be nice too #suddenly throwing in that he was mute for a little bit when he was seven (???) and that he has a massive fucking scar on his face is a bit #surprising #anyways my tumblr is glitching out so I’ll continue at a later date #rant #not tagging this as mha because I want to rant into the void #also I’m at chapter 10 so if my (very biased) critiques are wrong then whoopsie #oh man this *is* getting really hard to read (cringe wise) #additional ranting about not having any updates on canon: are we supposed go believe that Deku and Ochako are buddy buddy like usual? their #dynamic is completely different? #we barely to get to see him interact with non dead people #or almight and Aizawa

DP x DC: The Rivalry

It's a little-known fact among the Watchtower residents that there is a fierce rivalry going on amongst its members. On one side, the Flash, a core member of the Justice League. On the other, Daniel "Danny" Fenton, Head of Engineering for the Watchtower.

Nobody knows when the rivalry started. Some rumors say that it began when, after hearing the Flash rant about how stupid it is to believe in ghosts, Danny took the effort to reroute all of his outgoing calls to the advice line of the JLD. Others say that after Danny doubled the max speed of one of the jets, Flash took it upon himself to have a joyride in it and then submit a complaint about it being too slow... twelve separate times, each one no more than 24 hours after Danny had finished the last speed improvements.

Ever since, the two have been taking potshots at each other with pranks large and small. Danny arranged a standard maintenance check to change room authorizations... resulting in the Flash being unable to access the kitchens for a week. In return, the Flash spent an entire week replacing every single cup of coffee Danny had with the cheapest, most watered-down decaf he could find - and he swapped out the mugs for Flash-branded ones as well. Danny's modification of the Flash's suit to change colors to randomized sets of the most eye-searingly-bright, clashing colors possible for exactly one second after being exposed to the Speed Force were met with "Kick Me!" signs taped to Danny's back.

But... surely this has gone too far, right? Flash... really can't think of what he can do to top this.

He stares as every single Watchtower engineer zips between tasks using the Speed Force as if it's nothing. It's not a permanent change, thank god, he can see the packs on them that apparently give them the Speed Force, but it's still ridiculous.

You know what, no. He's just... not gonna engage with that. He turns around and leaves the engineering department.

It becomes a lot harder to avoid engagement when, over the course of the day, he has to witness each and every member of the Justice League speed around with a Speed Force pack of their own. Shouldn't Batman and Wonder Woman be above this sort of thing? Why does Superman need to be faster?!

#dpxdc #dcxdp #dc x dp #dp x dc #danny phantom #dcu #Danny adds a more subtle version of his reverse-engineered Speed Force to Bruce Wayne's suits - as in the ones he wears to interviews #now Barry has to spend a MONTH seeing theories of Bruce Wayne actually being the Flash on the front page of every newspaper he reads #he DOES eventually ask Danny for a custom version of the color-changing version of his suit to cycle through the rainbow during Pride Month
