i'm glad we get to see alicent being a bitch in hotd. i'm glad she makes comments about rhaenyra's sons. i'm glad she plots and schemes behind viserys's back. i'm fucking delighted we don't see another woman in media submitting to the injustices she suffers with a smile.

Are yyou team green or black? And why?
team green, though I'm not in support of every green character (namely Otto though my opinion of him is complicated. I also have opinions on Aegon and his characterization that makes it even more complicated)
[I have only read bits and pieces of the book, so my opinion is based almost solely on the show. keep this in mind]
I'm team green for 3 big reasons. they're more complex, thought not perfect by any means, more morally "right", and are simply more my vibe when it comes to characters. now this is very simplified and not at all nuanced, so stick with me for a minute.
Firstly, they're more complex. the greens have very deep, detailed, and nuanced lives and stories that lead to them being very complex characters that can't be put into a box. Alicent was a child bride who had lost her mother young became a mother young and suffered at the hands of power and men all her life. her children were affected by this and the world they were forced to grow up in throughout their lives. even individually her kids are drastically different; aegon the child who was forced into a life he did not want and suffered due to his father neglect and mother pain. Helaena who was never understood and grew up treated like an oddity. Aemond who was never seen to his full potential, always ignored or looked over, angry throughout his life. each of them has strengths and weaknesses, flaws and benefits, they're imperfect but never completely horrid. they're also never simplified (not entirely, even when the plot and writers seek to simplify them) to the point that they put on a moral pedestal or made straight evil (i'd even argue that the attempts of the writer to oversimplify them as evil and in the wrong makes them 10x more fascinating). I find TB characters tended to miss the mark on that, always put in the moral light, not even allowed a moment to reflect on their actions, lives, or positions in any nuanced or meaningful way, so they always just feel dull. they're also out on a moral highground that they can never be budged from, which makes them harder to like and honestly, really boring. they get away with everything instead of being emotionally and morally nuanced.
secondly, they're more morally "right". I will never say that any of the greens are perfect, they are far from it (with the exception of Helaena and her kids, who have done literally nothing to anyone, but I digress). what I will say, 9/10 times there is some level of reasoning that has some level of reasoning. Alicent always tries to do whats best for everyone, all throughout the series she tried to do best by the court, the king, her children, the realm, and Rhaenyra. did she always succeed? no, but she always tried and her mistakes were almost always honest. I will say she held resentment towards Rhaenya, but honestly, I can't blame her. Rhaenyra's lies and behavior hurt Alicent over and over again so for her to be angry is expected.when it came to succession, Alicent backed Rhaenyra until it was made clear she and Daemon would be a threat to her children's lives and even than she held mercy for Rhaenyra. Aegon's drinking can be blamed on the abuse and neglect he suffered at Viserys, Otto, and Alicent's (though the abuse and neglect from his mother is insanely different and nuanced. she perpetuated her pain onto him because she couldn't heal herself. so I hesitate to call it abuse, cause its so much more complicated than that) hands. though nothing will justify his rape of Dyana, I personally think it was a bad add in on the writers part, and leave it at that. Aemonds rage after years of being ignored doesn't entirely justify what he did to luke, but he had reason for his cruelty after years of Luke (and jace tbh) being cruel just because they could. TB characters tend to do terrible things in response to either A. nothing B. their own terrible things. Daemon kills who he wants when he feels like it, even for stating facts. Rhaneyra will lie and hurt those around her to protect her bastard children. both of them conspire to protect themselves and allow themselves to be wed, really just cause. while there are times they have their reasons, its a lot less of the time, and typically the backing to their actions, is they were trying to unbury themselves from within their own graves. (to preface, I don't care about rhaenyra sleeping around, it doesn't bother me, but its the fact that she will hurt everyone around her to protect her lies, allowing a child to be maimed and people to be murdered)
thirdly, they're my vibe. I like morally complex character, who are, to be frank, pathetic. I like characters with complex trauma's and issues, who aren't perfect people but its not entirely their fault. I would much rather watch a whole show about alicent, a child bride who tries so hard to be a good wife, queen, and mother while not prepared for any such role. Aegon who is a boy with severe mommy and daddy issues, a drinking problem, a flawed past, and constantly wet eyes. Helaena an ignored girl who has suffered for no better reason then her family. and Aemond, a boy who was tormented, bullied, maimed, and made stronger by it at the cost of his compassion and emotional stability - over a nepo baby who was coddled by her father, her murderous husband with a knack for unneeded violence, and her similarly coddled children (the show boiled them down to this, in my opinion). one is simply more up my alley than the other. I want character that need to be dissected, who have suffered, who hurt me to look at.
also, team black created almost all of their own problems. seeing as the main source of contention had to do with Rhaenyra's kids being bastards, which was Rhaenyra's problem, which she caused, and kept digging and digging that grave (faking Laenors death just so she could marry daemon, turning the blame on aemond when luke maimed him furthering the divide amongst the house, trying to wed Helaena to Jace putting her in danger, trying to take the driftmark throne and killing Vaemond for a claim her sons did not have, etc,) till viserys's death, earns her a lot less pity from me. at the end of the day, her being a woman was only a needle in a haystack worth of problems she caused herself that hurt her claim. if she had just strived to create to connection with ancient and her kids, and didn't make herself look like a threat to everyone who lessened her claim (which alicents kids would be the first people to be taken out) alicent would have backed like she had all season and there would have been no war, maybe conflict, but no war.
theres also the effect of the fans on my opinion. I have faced more cruelty, terrible media analysis, and outright ableism/misogny/(blood and sexual based) purist ideology/etc. from the TB fans then I have ever witness by TG fans. TB fans have ruined almost all of the TB characters for me in more ways than I can count, so I will say I am very biased.
thats why I'm team green. as a whole they are simply more appealing, their stories are more interesting, demand more attention to detail and emotional understanding, and from my point of view were the "right" side to be on in the war (the war was wrong on both sides, but my chips lie in the favour of the greens).
#THESE ARE ALL MY OPINIONS IF YOU DONT LIKE IT IGNORE THIS POST. MY ACCOUNT. MY EXISTENCE AS A WHOLE.#BETTER YET. IF YOU REALLY DONT LIKE MY OPINION. BLOCK ME.#I dont want drama. so dont bother me if you disagree#and to clarify discourse and conversation (even if we disagree) =/= arguing. name calling. harassment#if you can be constructive and respectful even while disagreeing your fine to stay#(the fact I have to clarify this in this fandom is embarrassing...)#defintly could have gone more in depth and better explained some things#but I'm tired and know if I don't answer this now I won't ever cause I'm a chronic procrastinator#so this is the best y'all are getting#the pity I have for all of them compared to any of the TB fans is honest to god my entire reasoning#but so many people don't understand them at all so I can't just say that#and I say this as someone who on my first watch was swayed by the intentional moral framing to hate the Greens and support the Blacks#with my whole chest. but I've grown and reflected and rewatched the show and realized I was wrong.#so I've been on both sides of the argument#I know what I'm taking about#pro team green#pro alicent hightower#I'm damn near anti TB/Rhaenyra#but I say lukewarm feelings on them to be more accurate#alicent hightower#aegon ii targaryen#aegon targaryen#aemond targaryen#helaena targaryen#rhaenyra targaryen#daemon targeryan#luke velaryon#jace velaryon#not tagging TB I like my life and sanity#they're so mean all the time and in the last week I've been harassed by them multiple times

I know media comprehension is notoriously poor in fandom spaces and that this issue isn't exclusive to the Lupin III fandom, but, please... I'm begging you... Goemon is meant to be young in Fuma Conspiracy... he's not a grown adult dating a school girl... don't tarnish this great movie...

you idiots just can't seem to understand boycotting medias. no it's not "just pirate it" or "don't give the creators your money". if you can't live without consuming that media despite knowing that the creator actively supports genocide then I'm afraid you are the part of the problem.

so my headcanons about the time between revolution and flux where yaz and 13 were alone are that they are very competitive with each other, mostly because i could watch hours and hours (or listen to, big finish pls <3) of yaz and 13 having that dynamic that mandip and jodie have in those behind the scenes videos where they play games and stuff and this is just a really long set up to say:
i bet there was a day during that time where the doctor was showing off about something, or trying to because yaz has sorta long since lost the ability to be impressed by the doctor - at least about things that the doctor thinks are impressive, im sure yaz is still impressed by her but the doctor would never guess what the things yaz is impressed by are and wouldnt even think they are things that someone might be impressed by, theyre not things she tries to show off, probably even more likely theyre things she tries to hide, aNYWAY - so yaz is skeptical, maybe countering with a long list of situations in which the doctor’s plans worked out less than great, until the doctor is like “pfft i can solve an alien invasion with my eyes closed” and yaz is like “yeah? prove it”
which is how you get back to the cold open in which the doctor is trying to negotiate with some aliens, blindfolded, and it is going very badly. she probably isnt even facing them. she probably has misidentified them and is calling them by the wrong name and making some very confident claims about a planet the aliens are definitely not from because she didnt guess the species right (all of which is information we probably dont know in the first 5 minutes of the episode but definitely do by the time we’ve circled back to this moment)
of course she does eventually save the day after all, mostly by luck, maybe some kid alien gave something away that made her go OH WAIT SHIT I MESSED UP and she course corrects, which is really fucking annoying because now yaz has to begrudgingly admit both the doctor’s right in that she can save a planet with her eyes closed but also that it was hot to watch her do it. unfortunately.

im out of the "information/ fact checking" game, but im begging yall to look into not just the sources of the articles you like and reblog, but the people who wrote them too.
#rem rambles#this just in. libertarians dont have the capacity for nuance. sorry.#thats a conservative that doesnt want to be ''called'' a conservative. they are just as trash as the rest of them.#there is room for a conversation about how many people are pro-hamas. and how you should really not equate hamas to palestine#there is ALSO room for a conversation about how ungodly demonic the idf is and how that barbarism is pushing people behind hamas#there is ALSO room for the realization that making everywhere EXCEPT israel unsafe for jewish people is EXACTLY what israel wants to do.#so the insanity of the idf makes sense. to stoke the flames. to make it worse. to actively sow dissent and hatred towards jewish people.#and placing that blame on people who are reacting to watching one country starve another and are grasping at anyone to root for- yeah i#can get why people are just blindly like 'houthi's r good!' because no one else is standing up to israel like them. you dont wait for#the perfect team to root for. would it be best if hamas stopped? and then what? exactly.#i can sit here and say ''i support palestine but i do not like hamas' tactics in more recent history. i also am not the biggest fan of#the houthis or hezbollah. i understand why they do what they do and their reasoning for it- but golly their politics are not good.''#and in the time it took me to say that one sentence israel has leveled another city block and had another tantrum about children being fed.#''and rep. ilhan omar's child was arrested-'' was that fun fact just there for giggles or was it there to pretend like antisemetism is#already so violently rooted in democrats in congress and the ONLY resolution to your jewish siblings is to REMOVE them.#and if you DONT root out these antisemites from the left (ignore the ones on the right tho) then YOURE bad and wrong. you dont wanna#be bad AND wrong :(((

ur one of my favourite fic writers evaaaaaa and now that ifk u r pro palestine from gavisuntiedboots blog your my double fave now
i just happen to be awake rn cuz i’m working on several drafts but anyways!!
i am v honored to be one of your favorite writers despite my constant spelling errors that i cba to correct 😪. also yes i am pro Palestine for many reasons and it’s very sad to hear about and see what Palestinians have to go through on a daily basis. i must admit though that i’m not very vocal about many of my beliefs but seeing all the attention their oppressors are getting lately due to eurovision rubbed me the wrong way. how can your show be anti war themed and have ykw who participate… makes absolutely no sense.
anyways you can expect a lot of works from me this week :)

YES.
honestly i'm trying not to be a hater because ultraz is obviously just filling the obligatory pseudo-antagonistic new unit role that every new season of an idol anime seems to need
but even though they do work hard, they are making tsubasa's work more difficult. it's not only their fault that her job has been so overwhelming lately, and the primary blame still lies on the agency that's running her ragged, but their behavior is not helping in the slightest
sucks that eisuke feels neglected or like she favors b-pro, but honestly goushi said nothing wrong. tsubasa is legit just so busy these days that she doesn't have time to eat, and this kid wants to sulk because when she finally gets a chance to grab a bite it isn't with him. that is childish
if goushi did anything wrong, yeah, maybe he shouldn't have implied they don't do any "real" work when he doesn't watch their content. but wtf was eisuke on about "you're the childish one for calling me childish" no tf he is not dude you were being childish
anyway for the love of god someone please give tsubasa the break she deserves

whenever i remember my mutuals have Cared About Marvel Disease i feel so bad for them. you’re ruined for normal media forever now because you associate random frequently used plot points with how the mcu did them sooo badly.
#this is about tee watching ouat lady of the lake and comparing the infertility subplot to the avengers.#it was normal the way ouat did it they were not that weird about it and as a whole that show is normal about women#i am sorry that joss whedon ruined this for u forever#beth.txt#to be clear. yeah it’s weird to imply that infertility is the worst thing that can happen to a woman. but the way ouat has done infertility#plot lines has not been that bad. there was snow drinking that poison in lady of the lake which ultimately was cured#and i don’t think they were trying to say ‘this is the WORST thing that could have happened to her. i think it was just a way of showing how#the king wanted to take away something she wanted.#and the ultimate point of that storyline was about like the circle of life and whatever#and ouat is generally a pro-chosen family show so really none of this matters#can it be pro life at times yes. however they do all that for the drama not the politics#and then the other infertility plotline was maybe a little fucked but it was season 4 a lot of stuff was bad then#hate to say it. hardly the worst thing that happened in season four. i think that award has to go to the hook possession arc#or the rumpbelle fail marriage. i’m allowed to use ship names it’s not cringe when i do it i was 13 this show stopped me from killing myself#well the point is that it hurt my soul to see ouat compared to the mcu. they are not the same….#anyway. sorry tee that you have Cared About Marvel Disease </3 hoping for a cure

as someone who went from fearing chargers, to sometimes using chargers, to maining them (and by them i mean mostly just the e-liter scope i used more in 2 than i do now)
watching people who do not play chargers play the e-liter for the first time or any sort of reason i just go YUP THATS IT START CRYING UNTIL U HIT A SICK SNIPE AND THEN BASK IN UR SECONDS OF FAME THAT NO ONE ELSE CARES ABOUT
#like i was a shooter main through 1 and 2 with some dabbling in various weapons in 2 usually chargers#during the rock paper scissors splatfest i said this was gonna be the start of me actually maining the eliter#id say in 2 my main was like...the jr.....#im also not into competitive play...i like watching videos going into things but im casual and ranked is something i only...sometimes play#but not enough to rank#chargers are like either confidant in their playing or like me stressed#and tho i cant say im like a pro charger despite the time i put into the eliter....i mean its still me after all#it is very...different from the other classes bc most of the time ur not gonna be good at holding a fight up close unless u get VERY lucky#but thats just me and i am maining the slowest charger with a scope#also watching someone talk about the comp nature of splat and how chargers will probably pick up the ballpoint like#i DO not like splatlings...way too awkward for me to play#i get one in salmon run its over its over hang up ur slops bc its over#the cool thing about the eliter is that sometimes you'll match with people who just want to leave you alone#the not cool thing is that people will also very much want to chase you down bc u got caught#mid repositioning#again im not a splat pro i just play casually so ur not gonna get actual good tips from me#also sorry if anyone acutally reads my tag rants bc they can get really long and idk why i dont kjust put all of this in the post itself any#anyway....

Okay I'm home now and i can fully and freely type. Anyway mild spoilers for into the spiderverse i guess?
❌❌❌
Anyway uh. Yeah it... It was a tiny bit of a disappointment. It didn't do it for me at all. I feel like this movie is more of an art exhibit and i mean that as a fucking insult. Like sure the animation fucks my ears are ringing and my head aches horribly (that's on me for thinking i can be autistic and watch this on theaters) but like, the story man? It just so much (DEROGATORY).
It commits the sin a lot of spiderman movies make and that is that it bit more than it could chew. Not because they're bad at handling a complex story, but because they tried to juggle like 5 at once. And that never fucking works (my ear is still ringing and it hurts I'm in pain rn -_+ just wanted y'all to know)
Like it introduced SO FUCKING MUCH and it all was cool yeah! Just like electro was cool, and Harry, and Gwen, and captain Stacy. You know what in trying to fucking say? There's only so much you can do in 2 hours and you can just throw all you have all at once at the viewer because all you'll do is leave them disappointed wanting for more of that.
I feel like a baby. They show me this cool thing but nuh uh! Enough of that! Here's this new cool thing! But nuh uh! Enough of that- and so on. Like there were so many cool characters and ideas and concepts and shit but it could barely balance it all. YOU KNOW HOW BAD I WANTED TO SEE MORE OF THE SPOT?! HE BARELY WAS HERE!
It's like, you cannot fucking make a whole movie as the introduction to your next movie. That just sucks. You're setting yourself up for failure.
Like I'm just so upset bc it was full of amaizing things but it didn't fucking deliver in any of them!!!! And God don't get me started on the references. I think this was one of the worst ways to fill your movie with references. Like at least let me fucking process what I'm seeing if you are gonna waste so much time here, but also just... Don't make it so fucking blatant.
Like man i... This was a very experimental spiderman movie which i appreciate in a way but... It's not what I was expecting. To me, personally, it was disappointing. And also not designed at ALL to watch on cinemas. I think that last bit is just a fact.
I'm just kinda sad man. Like i loved Miles and Gwen's drama and i loved Miguel but I also wanted to see more of, you know, THE WHOLE FUCKING NEW CAST AND THE NEW FUCKING VILLAIN THEY INTRODUCED BUT SHOWED ONLY FOR LIKE 2-3 SEGMENTS MAX???????
LIKE HANDS ON HEAD EMOJI WHAT WERE THEY DOINGGGGG 😭😭😭😭
#luly talks#im sorry to the people who loved this movie i am so upset#on funnier news i found the spot is called la mancha in spanish which is funny bc mancha is what we call a common kids game#in fact i remember that the english name for that is tag we call that mancha#LA mancha#btw i did love Miles' mom having more of the spotlight it was like a little treat for us latinos fr#also. the amount of cop stuff was a bit too much. i wouldn't call it pro cop like some idiot i saw the other day but it. like. hm. y'know?#like this movie feels like an art project something you'd see the fans do and if they did you'd allow the imperfections#but it was made by an studio and there were expectatives in the table like it. it just doesn't stand on its own at all#I WANTED MORE OF PAV AND HOBBIE MAN. I FUCKING DID. HOBBIE ESP I HAVE A CRUSH ON EM#they/them too right? didnt really hear it well but I'm sure i heard em be called they#i will say tho i loved the pear shaped spiderwoman that was super cool#i did literally joke about being too fat to make a spidersona b4 watching the movie and sure she was a woman i aint but it was nice anyway#but yeah it just. it tried to chew more than it could bite. the spot was so cool tho#the spot and hobbie are my guys i love them#man I'm just sad i really am im repeating myself bc im too overwhelmed to retain thoughts so idk if im being clear but like#this movie had a LOT of good things but it delivered on nearly NONE of them#like just commit! you want this to be a story about Miles sure do that but just focus on him and that's it#dont throw in so much and leave us yearning for more bc now we have the old cast AND the new cast both and we barely saw any of these new#ppl interacting we barely fucking know them#anyway just SAD man
