monkie kid shadow play but it’s gem & pearl. i rest my case

#i’d say desertduo but gem + pearl fit better imo especially given the end of secret life #the play itself seems very shinyduo to me but if we’re accounting for the entire episode #i’d say grian would be in MKs place #like. look at me and tell me that grian wouldn’t see a play abt pearl beinng abandoned by gem and go ‘yeah i’m the warrior in my situation’ #(the hero was the one doing the betraying in macaque’s pov) #only for pearl (the warrior & the person who did the play) to turn around and go ‘yeah no. you’re the hero.’ #LIKE!!!!!!!! #i feel like grian would be absolutely disraught #anyways #shinyduo #life series #traffic life series #traffic life smp #this only appeals to one specific audience but i Do Not Care. my blog my rules #secret life #secret life smp #pearlescentmoon #geminitay #mar’s tag for rambling

Hate it when I see people say shit like "the Violet paradox mons are so stupid and lame, they're all just robots!" like uhmmmmm yea they are and it OWNS ok. blasts you with my beam attack

#the killer robot aesthetic fucks severely and is MUCH scarier #and imo it works a lot better with the plot tbh #iron jugulis and iron thorns are PEAK #iron valiant and iron moth are RAD #iron bundle is SILLAY #iron hands #i ended that tag to early but i forgot what i was going to say there anyways whoopsies #anyways i feel like its fits the unnatural horrors beyond human comprehension vibe a lot better #“theyre all just robots” well all the scarlet exclusives are just dinosaurs. fucker #well guess what my son boy Henry is a robot AND a dinosaur piss your pants about it #the fact that theyre all robots MAKES it scary like. why! how far in the future is this! at what point will every pokemon become a robot! #how terrifying is this future that they had to become robots in order to survive. did they even BECOME anything or #did the people of the future create them to look like present day pokemon that are now extinct. #much more intriguing to me personally than. here is a woolly mammoth. its descendants do not look like this anymore bc idk evolution or wtv #not saying i dont like the ancient pkmn just saying the people who dislike the future ones are WRONG theyre sick as hell ok #anyways more importantly for each version what paradox mon do you think fucked Arven and Mabosstiff up so bad like #ive been thinking about this a LOT #cant be one of the ones you encounter with him present or he probably wouldve brought it up #my bet for Violet is iron valiant since i feel like thats the scariest #i have no thoughts on scarlet but i guess the equivalent #(based on pokedex placement) #would be roaring moon #idk tho i havent thought about it much #either way. fucking terrifying #pokemon spoilers #lobster.txt

I am absolutely livid about our loss to Sweden, mainly because a bunch of assholes are using this as an opportunity to harass the team, especially our beloved P.

i’ve seen a bunch of people saying that they lost because they were too focused on politics, and my only thought is, “where have you been??”

#this year has been tame compared to 2019 #and anyone who says that’s why they lost had a fundamental misunderstanding of what this team is about #and also women’s sports in general #because god forbid women doing anything ever without being hyper-criticized #but anyway i agree #i think any sort of hate to the players right now is absolutely worthless #it’s not productive and it’s not a great look for the community imo #i think every player that played could have been better #but also any player (alex megan alyssa ANYBODY) could literally be a god on earth #and we still wouldn’t have won because it’s a team sport and the fate of the game is NOT on the shoulders of one person #(besides maybe the coach but that’s a whole other problem) #uswnt #woso #megan rapinoe #women’s soccer

-randomly sees a screenshot of jamie and lily from the city of bones movie, where they seem to embody jace and clary, and am once again sad that we didn't get a city of ashes movie-

#like. to be clear. i KNOW that the city of bones movie has flaws--and i can tell you what they all are--but for me at least the positives #outweigh the negatives #and one of those things is that the cast really was perfect imo (and a lot of other people's opinions too) #though that's not to insult the shadowhunters cast at all of course. i think they're great and did the best with what they were give #i. personally. just don't really like shadowhunters because of how much they changed from the books #and even outside of that--if i ignored book to show comparisons--at least with the first season (the only one i watched) a lot of the #choices they were making with their own rules they were making didn't make a lot of sense. though i hear it gets better if season one so #maybe i should give it another chance sometime... #but back to city of ashes... i feel like. if city of bones had done well. city of ashes could have been better than city of bones and even #more book accurate (since that was some fans' issues with the first film) since the studio would have realized there was an audience there #and to take it more seriously. we've seen that kind of thing before. like with how the twilight movies actually became more book accurate #after the first film was a success #though that's not the world we live in of course. -sighs- oh well #maybe someday we'll get a really good and accurate tmi adaptation #i'm also looking forward to/cautiously optimistic about the the infernal devices show. PLEASE don't mess it up. PLEASE #that's my--and many--fans' favorite of the shadow world series. and it could/should be SO good. PLEASE!

Hit Stain with the dad might stick :0

... well that just seems mean to All Might...

#idk the hisashi stick and the dfo stick can hit anyone #but imo the dadmight stick and the dadzawa stick are more particular #like the students *can* be hit with either but some def are more suited to one or the other and i dont enjoy some combos #izuku's totally dadmight. [redacted because i don't want salt in my inbox] isn't dadmight like many think they're better with dadzawa #shoto is dadmight and ojiro is dadzawa #hagakure is solidly in the middle #but with other characters its just like a vibes thing #aizawa and midnight could be hit with the dadmight stick #but i don't think mic or stain could be #oboro? total dadmight stick. manual? absolutely not dadmight stick #i cannot explain my reasoning but i can provide it #HMMM WELL ACTUALLY..... i guess in the nofa au theres a tiny tint of dadmight stick for stain #in that hero student banneret thinks all might is such a cool hero and really looks up to him and *would* have gone for more personal #mentoring but you know he decided to drop out and stab people in allyways for a living instead #so hm. maybe i could feel out something more that direction and discover a rare stain that can be dadmighted #but it will take me some time to forage #anon #pocket talks to people

instagram is wacky i just saw someone comment that banning ear cropping would just lead to ppl importing dogs instead, or doing it "in their kitchen with scissors and baking soda".. i dont think everyone is as out of their minds as you are dear social media user. also as if several countries didnt already make that change years, if not decades ago in a lot of cases. its literally fine.

#im just laughing at how ridiculous and frankly absurd that argument is #ear cropping has been illegal in finland since 1996 for reference. and also is in most of europe. #personally its one of those things i wouldnt do even if i was in a position where i could #all it is is cosmetics and i find that unnecessary + i dont think it looks that nice in the end anyway so whats the point of #going through an entire procedure. unnecessary like i said #but im not saying if u cropped ur dog's ears ur a horrible person lol thats a bit far fetched #its like. on an individual scale? not my problem what u do #but overall i think the practice would be better off left behind in countries like the us where its still commonplace #though of course for this to work breed standards would need to change as well #which imo should in fact be done lol #but we all know many people would throw a fit about all that #also importing dogs just so that they would have cropped ears??? yea right #the very definition of ''more trouble than its worth'' #anyway rant/ramble over. dont take it too seriously im just out here spilling out my thoughts #mine

Watched the MLB movie finally! While I had a few Notes, all in all I enjoyed it, the animation was so pretty and I was really impressed how they condensed so much stuff into one movie

#like sure they changed stuff and moved stuff around #and things were left out (for a possible sequel?) #but as an adaptation it's pretty good i think #if they had tried to cram anything more into One Movie it would've ended up a jumbled mess #i think they made a good choice in doing the origin story and the hawkmoth plot as the main things #and have other adventures as a montage of the heroes growing closer as time goes on #and i feel like marinette was written better than in the show imo #sure it's been a while since i've watched the show so idk what's going on there right now but still #my only Notes tm for the moment are basically how adrien got the ring and how adrinette met #and that's about it #like we should 100% have been SHOWN Why adrien was chosen too and not just Have The Ring Show Up you know? #and i personally really liked the origin story of adrinette being marinette not caring about adrien's money or looks or status #and kind of being like :/// about him because she thinks he's a rich douche #but then finding out how KIND that boy is and THEN starting to fall for him #the movie version was Fine i guess but i would've liked to see the 'oh shit he's actually super nice i was wrong' #it was just so basic 'girl meets boy and falls in love' meet cute and while there isn't anything WRONG with that.. idk #it's just more boring than 'dude you kinda suck - except holy shit you don't? you're really nice?? oh no' #and it made marinette's crush seem different from how everyone fawns over adrien because of his status #otherwise though? can't really think of much to complain about #the songs were a Surprise for sure but i personally didn't mind them i love movie musicals #however there were a bit too many of them maybe? or idk #maybe the songs could've been tweaked a bit to stand out more imo but that's probably more a me thing than anything #hawkmoth's song slapped though lol #i was basically like ??????????? and :DDD at the same time (positive) #also i laughed so fucking hard at the end screen cut lmaooo #anyyyway i'm probably gonna reblog gifsets now bc man the animation was prettyyy #personal #miraculous ladybug #mlb movie

Wolfstar stans always say that Remus was OOC IN Canon!!! I mean wtf?? delusional lol. Fanon Remus is a mary sue who suffers and pines after cruel hottie Sirius and then Sirius comes to his senses and runs after his moony, begging for scraps of his attention and ofc James is completely ignored by sirius or they fight over poor hurting remus lmao their Fanon is what is so OOC. I think they self insert into Remus so they can catch the popular Hot bad boy who they can "cure of his bad ways"

hello anon 💜 i see we have awoken to choose violence today (nice) so i’m putting this under a cut so remus fans can skip this one.

yeah i’ve seen that too and i always have to scroll past while making faces because,,,im not here to start shit lol but oh god it’s such an annoying position. like ok, i’ve called canonical behaviours ooc too (cough harry in CC cough) and it’s entirely possible i was wrong, but the remus thing is just. wilfully ignoring everything we know about him? (again: caveat here is if you don’t care about canon, then go for it w/o trying to do critical canon analyses. no harm, no foul)

but here’s the thing, right? remus as we know him in canon is a serial manipulator, liar, gaslighter, and coward. like, this has been shown multiple times. i’m not making it up. in my mind, his actions in dh were absolutely not ooc. they just followed the pattern that had already been established so far. and i feel like so much of his characterisation comes from not wanting to engage with that kind of darkness (because even acknowledging it means your dynamic is changed). i’ve read a few excellent fandom analysis posts on here, actually, about how characterisation of wolfstar has changed over the years (decades?) as the average readership/writer ship has gone from middle aged to younger. apparently, it used to be much more dysfunctional and grittier earlier, dealing with the darkness on both sides. it was interesting. but anyway, yeah, i see it happen with regulus/jegulus too sometimes (even if i can’t comment on it since i’ve barely interacted with that content) where you deliberately turn a blind eye to things because if remus is a coward or bad at relationships, then u can’t actually write that fluffy AU u want. which…isn’t fun. because fanfic is about writing all the fluffy AUs in the world ykno?

but what that’s ended up doing is completely transforming his character into someone barely recognisable to those who aren’t in that particular niche (although,,,it’s not exactly niche is it?) and just. idk. i’m rambling now lol but it just really frustrates me because i cannot escape it. and it always treats sirius so badly. remus is just the most sympathetically written character, even when he’s being an absolute asshole, and sirius can’t breathe without being whacked over the head with it. i hate how much he’s scapegoated, honestly. like, i think i’d be fine with the mary sue-fication of remus if sirius wasn’t so defanged in the process but alas, it isn’t to be.

also that’s such an interesting point because i’ve often thought the same about remus being a self insert tbh. i was talking to someone and they said something along the lines of ‘james & sirius as the hot, rich, privileged characters aren’t relatable as much as remus, who’s poor & tortured & misunderstood, so u have people flocking to the latter’ and that combined with the ‘i can fix him’ energy just,,,really shines through sometimes lol. not so much on tumblr (where i barely interact) but i’ve seen it so much in the mwpp fandom on twitter, and a bit on tiktok. it’s very projection-heavy imo (which like, not a judgement. i’m clearly a projection heavy writer too)

#remus lupin critical #we’ve been getting a lot of anti remus/wolfstar asks lately #which. not complaining. i’m just wondering what triggers it #bc sometimes i go weeks without anything like it and sometimes i wake up to so many of these in my inbox #also the ignoring certain aspect thing: again not necessarily a judgement bc i do the same with james and sirius imo #like i definitely sanitise them i think #i guess it’s just that line between hc and canon that bothers me #and not even bc i think canon is particularly untouchable but because i wanna avoid certain readings and this is the most effective way #like i’ll often seek out ooc snape for example bc him in canon annoys me #or i’ll skip past certain fics if they mention someone i like is ooc in certain ways #it’s just a useful descriptive category that’s been completely annihilated in r/s spaces #idk. does that make sense? #and i’m not saying that the grittier dysfunctional r/s is inherently better mind #i don’t think i’d have read that just bc i’m personally not into those dynamics #it was just an interesting look into how things have changed and why #yeah there’s no neatly wrapped answer here. we’re all just bitching in one corner of the room lmao #pen’s asks

[tomee--bear]

the thing is you KNOW they're just making a Edd YouTooz as a default, they're not gonna even try other characters unless they did another run. and I honestly think doing a figure of Tom or Tord would be in much higher demand. But maybe that's just me. I'd much rather have a figurine of someone else, unless the Zombie Edd design was pretty sick

Also it sounds weird but I hope they make the YouTooz like...fatter than ur prediction drawing, the proportions would make them look a lot cuter but I think ur predictions gonna be pretty accurate as far as proportions go, which I'm sure makes us all sad 😔

i mean it makes sense to have the titular character of the show as the 1st figure made, i can't fault that tbh (i'd expect tom and matt would come later depending on initial interest in edd)

also yeah i would love if the figure's actually closer to the show style or at least is shorter/stouter, but i'm sure youtooz figures in general have a small amount of base models that they work around for the sake of keeping production costs low/brand recognition (like funko pops)

#anonymous asks #imo from the ones i've seen the youtooz that look better are the ones that aren't just the irl person as is

okay i'll seriously stop now (just a maybe) anyways please get into milgram listen the songs watch the mvs and all! <3

but just to ramble a bit: fuuta really is. so similar to the viewers/es

#⋯ ꒰ა starry thoughts ໒꒱ *·˚ #⋯ ꒰ა milgram ໒꒱ *·˚ #he's a twt user and kinda chronically online LMAOOO okay but to be serious. he doesn't really realize the #real world consequences of his actions until it's too late. and in the mv he so obviously shows regret and all #there's a scene where he's looking at his self from before doing the spraypaint again and tbh yeah dudes sadistic w that kinda thing #sadistic but in sort of a good way in a sense that he wants to deliver justice. but then things escalate too far as well #<- probably starts calling out people for the smallest things. not anymore about justice #or it still is about justice but even in the littlest of things... anyways yeah he likely starts it but then the others r the ones #who put more flame to the fire. i think he has problems w attention too so this kinda yk. makes him feel seen... or idk how to phrase it #bcs dude spends most of his time online right? the whole gaming thing might be an escape from reality in that he #likely doesn't have much friends if any at all (he also doesn't really get along w anyone in the prison. but i think he is a good person bc #he cares for haruka bcs hes younger). hmm. fuuta knows what's the deal with milgram #anyways yeah i think it is all just so interesting. he's definitely regretful and feels guilty and also... he's hinted at stuff #uhm. worrying. stuff. if yeah? idk how to phrase it but i think it is safest to really vote him innocent (also he deserves it imo) #he still needs to improve w some stuff but then again i dont think we should be Extremely Harsh #yk scruntinizing everything. voting him guilty again for a 'small' yk. not that what hes doing is negligible but i mean that he's #starting to improve (even if his... mental state is getting worse it seems) and it feels wrong and is exactly what he calls out #es/the viewers for if we vote him guilty for the smallest of mistakes/injustices even when he's yk. getting 'better' #sorry for terrible explanations here i hope it makes sense oml #i dont think fuuta meant anything bad fr. and then the drama audio w es like... agh wait im putting that aside for now bcs goddamn #i think there's smth to do w. Pressure. ofc. duh. LMFAO. maybe peer pressure to join in the cyberbullying #he likely didnt mean for it to escalate but maybe he started losing himself in it all w a sort of hero complex #ahhh trying to tie together stuff from the 1st trial and 2nd trial is complicated bcs the two have similar but different themes

lush... puberty 2... bury me at makeout creek... retired from sad... be the cowboy... laurel hell... IN that order !

#et cetera #lying my opinions on thischange all the time #the first three are generally always my top 3 and the other 3 generally my bottom 3. though #but i could never say for certain... theyre all so good in different wqys #i generally like lush the most in terms of like. it just feels more raw and unpolished and i think its rly good... #p2 is just good all around not a single unremarkable song #bmamc my first album by her... very iconic not necessarily all standout songs but the ones that are are some of her most popular #for a reason #personally i really like retired from sad... ik its not talked about as much aside from... well. but it has the same appeal as lush 2 me #be the cowboy is a little overrated imo NOT bc its bad but like she has done better #but it does really well at defining itself. it stands out from her previous works but still is distinctly HER #laurel hell is by far her most polished and experienced album... whether thats good or bad is whatever #but i think it really showcases her talents and the way her music has grown #it references her older work but is still new and very different in fun ways #and well in terms of which has the most of my fav songs... probably makeout creek and lush #puberty 2 CLOSE third though #retired from sad probably last in that regard. because i forget about it a lot SORRY MITSKI #umm. looks around. what was i doing...?
