#to people who think the world revolves around them

[fraudulent-cheese]

Actually no, i want to expand on my relative dislike of WT. Because when people talk about this season's faults, i BARELY see people mentionning the complete flatterning of like half it's cast!

Oh sure, people are super willing to throw shit at TDA and especially TDAS for it's flanderisation of characters, but outside of some rogue posts by mutuals, i don't see ANY OF YOU pointing the finger at World Tour when i'd argue it's especially eggregious.

Owen's the easiest example of this, and while it didn't start this season it got so much during it. Nearly all of his lines revolve around food, his aerophobia, or Izzy for a single episode. His relationship with Alejandro is also super indicative of this; im willing to accept the HC that he was aware of Alejandro's dislike of him and just wanted to win him over, but that's absolutely not what the writters intended, no way in hell. He's just completely oblivious to his shitty behavior when he seemed at least somewhat aware of Heather's shifty behavior back on Island, or at least able to stand up for himself (shoutouts to that one Action episode). It's not fun to watch, either.

Bridgette too had her personality reduced to one or two traits, for either comedy reasons (because apparently people making out 24/7 is funny) or story reasons (establishing Alejandro as a threat who uses flirting and his general attractiveness to advance his strategy) and it suckssssss because she was! an actual character! and World Tour especially benefits from having a 'straight man' type character that can look at the other's weirdness and react to it like a normal-ish person! That and she could be an interesting presence to have on Team Victory, with her friendships with Leshawna and Courtney for instance.

DJ too is a BIG victim of the flanderisation thing; his personality is dumbed down to just being a huge scaredy cat, and his character is just The Curse. That's all he does and that's all he is, all he talks about. And that sucks because he too, was an actual person in Island and even Action! Sure, he was sometimes a pushover and had an accident-prone bunny, but he was also kind and could actually go out of his way to play pranks on people! But all of that is just gone in WT.

There's also the characters that weren't flanderised, and more just. Written entirely out of character. Outside of the entire Love Triangle (which i will get to) the biggest example of this is Leshawna to me. The writters straight forget the episode in Action where she's entirely dsitrustful of the Pizza they were offered (which did turn out to be tampered with) due to Chef being uncharasterically nice to them. Guess what Alejandro was doing. Being overly nice to her out of nowhere. Frankly she fell victim to the same thing Bridgette did; needing to be sacked for Alejandro's villany to be better established.

Ok fuck i need to mention the Love Triangle too because while people complain about it alot i don't think they complain about the correct stuff. i'll go rapid fire because it's been talked to death however; Gwen's liking of Duncan is a retcon, her acting like this is out of character for her frankly, Duncan's out of character by trying to emotionally manipulate his ex and the lore established to justify it makes it worse (remember the "At least im straight with people" line?), Courtney is villanised from even before this point which while her anger might've been targetted at the wrong person she was justified in being upset imo, Courtney's entire character is thrown out of a window in general this season, blah blah blah.

I'll end on the whole "the writters forgetting entire character traits/arcs" Cody still hitting on Gwen this season makes no goddamn sense and is super uncomfortable to watch. He's really such a nothing character man. Sierra deserved better than being a manic pixie stalker girl.

#cheese posting #for the love triangle thing: doesn't help that gwuncan's way better as friends AND worse than romantic duncney imo #string cheesing #tdwt #total drama #yeah im main tagging this #td owen #td bridgette #td dj #td leshawna #not tagging the love triangle/cody because it could count as character hate and im not gonna be an idiot

okay i meant to make this post forever ago but my personal opinion on why so many people were so dissatisfied with lightfalll (disclaimer: i am not one of these people, i love lightfall SO much), is that lightfall was kind of subjected to a really aggressive marketing campaign.

like, stick with me here, i feel like almost all the lightfall release content (the trailers especially) were so focused on battling the witness, how this battle has been centuries in the making and this is the Second Collapse Finally Finding Us, only for there to be,,, no real resolution. the end was left on such a severe cliffhanger, but not only that, there was NO battle with the witness. the witness didn't even seem to be having a hard time at all with what we WERE throwing at it.

and for narrative reasons *i* am obsessed with this ending; in terms of storytelling i adore practically every creative decision that was made in lightfall, but i think the reason that so many people were so upset about it is because lightfall had such intense marketing and was rooted in the implication that this was the End of Days, only for us to get almost no closure, and instead so many more questions.

(there's also something to be said, i think, about the fact that the people who ARE most upset about this are like, the youtube gamer dudebros who's content is very very often rooted in the aggressive, violence-and-warfare, pvp-centric, no-interest-in-lore approach to destiny, and that the people i've seen primarily ENJOYING the narrative decisions (or at least being understanding about it) are the artists and writers and loremasters of the fandom, but i'm not quite sure,,, how to expand on that point.)

#like. something something yt dudebros who are like 'uhhh destiny is about violence and war and the lore is only for people who suck at pvp #and destiny is a shitty evil game i hate it sooooo much hashtag 26871435 hours recorded gameplay' asshats #being the ones complaining MOST about the narrative in. a narrative driven game. and refusing to engage with ANY lore in a LORE HEAVY GAME #vs. the community on here thats full of artists and writers and people who actually like to analyze the story and characters #and engage with the lore and have any emotional attachment at all to the characters and world and themes #being the ones who are like. appreciative of the narrative decisions made and looking forward to where the story will take us and #looking at the game with LOVE instead of hatred and malice #and even if you didn't like lightfall!!! people in the latter category are still the people who i keep seeing be like #'yeah even if i didn't personally like it i can understand the significance of this narrative decision.' #'i acknowledge that bungie put so much time and effort and passion into making this even if it wasnt satisfying to me personally.' #'i have the critical thinking skills to understand that bungie is not a sentient malicious entity trying to ruin my life; me; specifically' #like. do you get what im saying. gamer dudebros who think the world revolves around them vs the fandom members who actually understand art #bc. thats what destiny is. its art. the whole thing is a massive art project made by a group of people that are very passionate about it. #do you hear what im saying at ALL its like two separate fandoms for the same piece of media the difference is so stark #mine #destiny 2 #lightfall #destiny 2 lightfall #eos destiny essays

this is fiona/scourge. to me. they get married and divorced all the time, both for funsies and also whenever they get into a fight/make up. (important note: they swap last names since in mobius the woman takes the man's last name and in moebius i choose to believe that the man takes the woman's last name). and also whenever theyre mad at each other theyll call each other their exwife/husband.

like. theyve been fighting over something stupid for the past few days and are on divorce round 3 and they run into sonic and tails and everybody starts beating the snot out of each other as is usual. something happens idk sonic takes like a potshot at scourge and fionas like “get away from my ex!!” and sonics like “.....ex-boyfriend????” and shes like “what? no. ex-husband.” and tails is like “YOU GUYS GOT MARRIED??????” and sonics like “YOU GUYS GOT DIVORCED??????” and fiona & scourge respond “yeah? and?”

so sonic pauses for a half second to digest this new information, and then says “wait. ok. so if you guys are divorced. why the heck are you still working together.” and fiona responds “um. because we're dating??? ??? youre so stupid omg” without missing a beat while scourge is obnoxiously scoffing/rolling his eyes in the background like this is incredibly obvious information and sonic just. stares for a good few moments. and then says “actually nevermind i dont care anymore i dont want to know anything more about your weirdass relationship”

#archie sonic #fionourge #i guess #iratusmus.txt #i have a mildly hyperspecific vision for this relationship and i need to get all of you on board with it immediately #also the ideal fiona&scourge and sonic relationship to me #is that they think they are SOOOOO so important to him they think his entire world revolves around them #and that they live rent free in his head and they are his personal enemies number 1 and whenever they show up #he is face to face with of all his incredible failures and shortcomings and how pathetic and miserable and stupid and cringe and fail he is #but in actuality sonic literally forgets they exist until they show back up again and hes just like “eugh . its them again” #because theyre just incredibly annoying people. its a little personal but mostly its just general irritation bc theyre just. so annoying. #because the truth is. fiona & scourge are not sonic's personal enemies number 1. #its sonic who is scourge's personal enemy number 1 and fiona's personal enemy number 2 #and they would probably rather kill themselves than actually realize or admit this.

people who absolutely hate crossovers and crossover shipping and shipping characters who barely/never interacted but the fan is interested in what their dynamic could look like, who hate any non-canon shipping are boring as fuck and really annoying when they have the need to go in the comments of these posts and be like "that's so weird why do people do that?" or start ranting how much they hate it

because they can and it's fun, dumbass so stop ruining other people's fun just because you don't like it

if it's not for you that's all cool and fine it's not for everyone but you can just scroll away or block such things you don't have to spread your negativity in the comments where others are just trying to have fun with other people who have the same interests. stop it. you're being the weird one here.

let people have fun in the fandom that's what fandoms are for!!

#when will people realize that they're the ones who curate their fandom experience and it's their job to organise what you see #and what you don't if you don't like it you have every right to block it and please do so if you really hate it so much #but it is nor other people's fucking problem and you have no right to tell them what to like amd what to post #you don't like it? you block it and let people who like it enjoy it in peace #it's that fucking easy #don't go around shitting on it especially not in a space for the fans that's just read and fucking stupid #the time you spent writing stupid annoying comment you could have spent instead blocking it and making sure you won't see it again #but no instead you decided to make yoir dislike everyone else's problem for literally no reason??? #like do you think others care that you hate it? no they fucking don't you're just ruining the good time they were having #the world doesn't revolve around you did anynone ever told you that? #sorry i'm pissed and had to rant lol #fandom #people are ok with self insert and self shipping but if you try to ship a character with someone they never met suddenly you're weird #bitch they never met you either🤨

People who criticize AoB without understanding there’s a cultural difference between rich and poor and western and eastern cultures genuinely have me baffled

How do you dive into one of the more nuanced case study political dramas written in Isekai hoping for it to adhere to your Eurocentric surface level reading you’re used to?

The point the series makes is PRECISELY that life is harsh and sometimes even when you want to make a change, that change won’t be easy as proclaiming you want to save everyone. You chose and pick battles, rhetoric and approaches to get what you want.

Saying “omg why doesn’t everything goes the way WE want it to?” Is the antithesis of the entire series

There are a couple tropes I really love in the space of Miraculous Ladybug fan works, but quite possibly my favorite is when the miraculous holders just get creature from using their powers.

Like yeah, I would say that hosting the power of an abstract concept given sentience, that got shoved into the shape of an animal and bound to a piece of jewelry, would kinda mess with your body a bit.

The little bit of this we get in canon is basically that Adrien loves being a cat and the whole Tikki munches incident.

But I love it when people give them ears and wings and tails, give them eyes that aren't quite human anymore. Fuck with their gender and their sense of body. Sometimes it's body horror, sometimes it's just aesthetic. Love it either way.

I just think it's so fun, a lot of the time it's combined with the like "when a holder and the kawami really respect and bond with each other there's nothing that can be done except having magic bleed into the holder" I think that's fun, but also just making the animal of the kwami a bigger deal is fun. Like if you're going to make it a ladybug you might as well give her wings and antenna and mirrored eyes.

#yes I do like ml #there's just so many characters I like to mess with in my head #also sue me I'm trans and have a certain respect for body horror. for the forced change of your physical self especially when you chose it #anyway I alwasys ramble in the tags #I set up this side blog to hide random writing thoughts I had and oh boy do I have a lot and none of them are on here #and recenetly (and by recently I mean like the past year) I've been hit with so many ml thoughts) #they're all gay #and some of them are cohesive #actually a lot of them revolve around chloe and au's where she gets a meaningful improvement arc #give that gay girl intresting stuff #miraculous ladybug #ml #although one of my ideas is also my very fun very gender take of ml where to conceal their identities ladybug and chat start pretending #to be different people under the masks like they don't need to like explicitly say. they just #switch costumes a lot and they like slyly hint at maybe theres dozens of people who pass around the miraculous to make sure that their #Identities are always safe #and to support the act they also start changing the genders they present as as holders. everyone is like “it's clearly multiple people” #and during this process marinette and Adrien are both like slowly having personal gender revelations #and gabe is like tearing his hair out over having to fight this secret group of superheros that he can never find or catch #but he's still just getting his ass kicked by two kids who're doing the world's most successful costumes change bits #it's like those “fake dating” tropes where they're like “oh but we really do love each other” but with gender #“oh I've got a great idea lets pretend to be different genders sometimes” #cut to “hmh ok so I think I'm not pretending anymore” #oh I do always ramble in the tags

do u think antis have no place in the storm hawks fandom?

While I believe pro-censorship ideology doesn't have a valid place anywhere, unlike some people, I don't have delusions of grandeur telling me I'm some kind of fandom God who can dictate who is and is not allowed to participate in a given fandom ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#no shade to people with delusions #I am a person who has delusions #I just actively go out of my way to avoid letting them impact the lives of *other* people #I've said it before I'll say it again; *your* delusions are not *my* problem #I also just don't think it's ableist to look some who has delusions of grandeur in the eye and go ''world doesn't revolve around you'' #I'm not saying you're a bad person for your delusions #I'm just saying your delusions are not accurate #maybe that's not the appropriate way to handle that #but I'm also not a therapist #and if you're going to act like you're the centre of the universe to a stranger online mentally ill or not #then you risk that stranger letting you know just how insignificant you really are in the grand scheme of things #Storm Hawks #proship #proship safe #anti bs #just anti things #anti censorship

i’ve been on the fence about wanting kids for years but i just spent two days in a house with 5 children from ages 3-13 and man did that solve that dilemma for me real quick

#the answer is no thank you holy shit #look i think kids are awesome and their limitless potential and their curious spirits and boundless creativity are traits to be treasured #but. my god. the tantrums??? the constant screaming whether they’re upset or having fun? the complete lack of thought for other people? #and the energy????? #like i get it i remember being a kid and like. the world revolved around me and my needs and thoughts #i’m just realizing that as an adult i don’t think parenting would suit my ideal lifestyle (nor would it suit my partner’s) #and anyone who deals with kids full-time and manages to keep their kindness and patience for them intact has my admiration tbh #i’ll happily be an auntie (thankfully my brother and his fiancée want kids and will be great parents) but i’m not cut out to be a parent #anyway this weekend has been exhausting AND i’m in texas during the heatwave lmao it’s been a lot #reena.txt

current obsession with stories about power dynamics in interpersonal relationships and the kinds of tactics and leverage people use to navigate them

#a lot of actors and writers will tell you anyway that any scene fundamentally is about two people trying to get what they want #and like there are no universals but i think that’s frequently true #which means that’s true of a lot of interpersonal interactions too #sometimes that want is ‘i want this person to like me’ or ‘i want to help’ etc #or ‘i am asserting my personal autonomy so you don’t think you have unmitigated control over me’ #but sometimes it’s ‘i want this person to feel bad’ ‘i want their world to revolve around me’ ‘i want them to do what i want how i want #without the ability to say no’ ‘i am going to back them into a corner so they can never react to anything bad i do to them’ #but it’s like what are our bargaining tools in interacting with other people. what are our assurances that someone can’t do us harm #anyway #we need to talk about kevin breaking bad the patient you we have always lived in the castle #real people telling me about their real experiences with exes who leveraged everything they said or did against them #my own life experiences and the lack of agency i feel in my own life #uhhhh saw. gone girl #hannibal of course #etc
