Watched the MLB movie and I just. I WANT to gush about it but the fact that Marinette’s regular voice actor and her singing voice actor sound SO different just took me out of it every time and left me feeling very disengaged;; At least Adrien’s singing voice kind of sounds like his speaking voice (and Gabriel’s is 👌 bc my king Keith Silverstein can actually sing and he can sing REALLY fucking well) but Marinette’s. The voices are COMPLETELY different and it threw me off every single time. Like obviously her singing voice is really good and I understand why they picked that person to do her songs but bro you could have at least TRIED to get someone that sounds similar to Cristina Vee. It drove me nuts every time she sang bc I was like “That is CLEARLY a different person entirely!!”
I’m realizing this might have been a dubbing issue but still 😭 I feel like I would have enjoyed the movie way more if it didn’t look like Marinette was lip syncing the entire time bc there was such a huge disconnect between her speaking and singing voice

Ngl, I really think that these bylers that are crying 24/7 about "purity culture" or whatever, are playing dumb when they start with their "but Nancy and Steve were 16 and 17 in that scene of s1!!!1" like... We got introduced to these characters at that age and the people playing them were already adults. So yeah, sorry but I think it's easy to see why most viewers would be uncomfortable with a more sexual scene of Mike and Will and it's not automatically homophobia, I think that would be the case with any of the kids since we got introduced to these characters when they were 12 and the actors were babies as well. We literally saw those kids grow. And I'm not saying byler should only get to peck or hold hands, It'd be cool if they have their epic kiss or whatever, but Will hasn't even had his first kiss yet and some of these people are already talking about sex scenes, like... Be for real 😭
funny you should say that...because i've used the nancy was 15-16 in season one argument (last tag) before while also saying that i understand why people find the sex part of their sexualities uncomfortable to discuss. and i wanna reiterate that, again, i totally understand that people feel like they've seen them grow up etc etc and that they still think of the actors themselves as children even thought they're not anymore.
i don't think it's all homophobia because like you said, people would probably feel the same about lucas and max and discussions of sex (i don't know if anyone is discussing that because there's much less discourse to have there and you can't argue that people are homophobic if they disagree with you) but i don't think it would be justified either. the "but we knew the characters when they were little" argument makes me think me of an ancient disney channel/abc show that old people and girl meets world fans who watched it for the first time in the 2010s will know, boy meets world (1993-2000). classic comic of age show, look at these kids. and eric in the back (he's fifteen).
they're eleven at the start of the show and then, what happens in any coming of age story happens, you guessed it...
they grow up. this is them in the later seasons, when the main characters are still in high school i think. they grow up, they talk about sex and about having sex at prom in season five and then they don't have sex right away because they figure it's not the right time yet or something like that, and then they have sex later and get married, the details don't matter. but my point is, who watches a show for five seasons, over years and years and gets upset at the main characters having sex because "this is crazy they used to be children"? isn't that the point of coming of age stories that cover multiple years or that focus on the latter years of adolescence, that they're not children forever and that at one point the characters "come of age" which usually includes their first sexual experiences?
i don't think the having sex part is particularly important in stranger things but also it doesn't have to be for it to be portrayed (see jonathan and nancy), teenagers have sex, it's just the way the world works. i'm not advocating for sex scenes of any kind especially because stranger things isn't a show that features a lot of sex in general, the only "explicit" sex scene being nancy and steve in season one with cuts to barb dying, but i genuinely don't think the duffers would have any qualms about portraying teenage sexuality in general with the party. if they did, they wouldn't have included erica threatening lucas to tell dustin what she found under his bed (it wasn't the communist manifesto) and they wouldn't have had max looking at a shirtless steve for an amount of time that's supposed to make the audience laugh. it's been 7 years. if they do a time jump, the babies will be about 17, played by actors who will all be around 20, the age natalia was when filming season one. the characters are teenagers, babies grow up. it happens to the best of us. i get why people would find it uncomfortable and maybe i would find it uncomfortable too but i wouldn't be scandalized. the duffers had no problem having a child actor portray everything will goes through in seasons one and especially two, i really feel like sex is fine and...not traumatizing or hard to watch compared to every single thing will's gone through lol. and again, i'm not even expecting them to have sex lmao, but i wouldn't cry myself to sleep if they revealed that everyone in the party actually knows what sex is.
last question: do we have any indication that jonathan had talked to more than one other girl (the girl at the halloween party being the one girl i'm counting for him) before he got together with nancy. i'm just asking because of your last sentence, because if we don't he should have slowed down also😭

Everyone's talking about Wish right now.... The only thing I can say about WISH.......let's hope it's like a Frozen 1 type thing. Where the trailers were ABSOLUTE ASS but then the film turned out really good. TT0TT
I mean.....there is a difference between the two. While the west got weird trailers that didn't matter for Frozen (Olaf vs Sven carrot thing), JPN and other countries got trailers that actually showcased the plot and drama in an interesting way.... And Wish.....well...... Wish at least gives us a villain and a part of an argument.....and I can't see that argument leading anywhere.....great tbh. So maybe not the best comparisons but let's hope for the Frozen 1 vibe!
Anyway I'm not liking what I'm seeing so far, but I'm hoping its better than the ass disaster Frozen 2 and Ralph 2 were. ;w;

(real not fake) the story of david faulkner. who was taken by jigsaw in 2003 for not appreciating the life he had. getting paid the bare minimum of being an orderly and having the heart of gold to clean up after sick people. befriending a few of the older patients that were just ready to leave and get back to their normal lives. he took care of an older lady that’d call him a sweetheart and say he reminded her of her son, even calling him by his name from time to time. when david woke up with a contraption on his face he didn’t know what to think. he was scared and confused and nauseous, not knowing how or why he was there and who put him there. he had to gut someone, someone he later found out was still alive, to get a key. he unlocked the contraption and slammed it to the ground, the first thing he could do was scream and curl up. after he found an exit out into the pouring rain, he somehow stumbled his way back to the hospital and they called the police. he was brought in for questioning and was released when they found nothing on him for premeditated murder. david spent his life in fear, looking over his shoulder more than once while walking down the street, not being in a public space for more than a few minutes, refusing to speak to anyone. not even the old lady that had called him sweet. everywhere he looked put him in fear and all he could think of was that puppet. he needed to get out of there. he was unfortunately let go from his job, so he scraped together enough money and moved west. he picked up small jobs from town to town and eventually he made it to California a year later, furthest from New York. he felt safer than he had in a long time. although, he still put tough locks on the front door of his new apartment and carried pepper spray in his traveling bag. he spent a few years getting to know the town, picking up small jobs here and there and he felt that he could really live in peace with himself. some time went by and he saw a flyer for a job at a record store, a woman named Andie worked there and needed someone to stock the shelves and help keep the place running. david realized this was the moment where he could choose to meet some actual people, or coward away for a few more years, but he already found himself walking in the direction of the store. ten years had gone by since he was kidnapped by jigsaw and he was happy. turns out Andie was a sweet girl and he couldn’t help but develop feelings for her, and he was sure she liked him too. he didn’t think he could ever feel like that for anybody. there another girl that worked at the record store, Bess was her name, much younger than him and Andie. she was very quiet and only ever really said anything to Andie, but after overhearing a conversation they had, he learned that she had a crush on a guy named Scott. he doesn’t know how he didn’t see it sooner. after his and Andie’s first kiss, she kept avoiding him. obsessing over the guy, Scott. he walked over to her house and he tried apologizing for whatever he did, he just wanted to get it right, he wanted to love somebody and he wanted somebody to love him after the shit life he already had. she kissed him and he was relieved. until there was a knife in his stomach and he was up against the wall on the floor. he ended up dying on a bathroom floor, just like how his twin brother did nine years prior. SEND POST. edit: i wrote this at like 4 in the morning a few days ago so who knows what i really said in this post but i spent so long writing it i am NOT rewriting it😭
