i've been idly reading the first hunger games book (never read them before) and inevitably i've been keeping a look out for mentions of gale vs peeta throughout the book, not because i'm not a convinced everlark girl(gn) but just to form my own opinion about the love story and the evolution of katniss' feelings as written. but i cannot believe years of posts on here had me believing gale was an actual serious contender in this thing and the WHOLE TIME the first book doesn't even end on a ~conflicted reunion in district 12, it literally just closes on katniss holding peeta's hand??? "dreading" having to let go?? PLS BE SO SERIOUS RN
like katniss the character can have as many second thoughts as she wants, closing on katniss and peeta while keeping gale off-screen, a far-off theoretical obstacle to the budding real-or-not-real romance we've just spent a book reading about is a CHOICE on the author's part that screams clear as day what she wants you to take away here. idk sorry to that guy but if one third of your love triangle can't even rate an on-page appearance, he was not ever intended as serious competition

I think another one of my hottest anime-based takes is that no, Kawai is not 'Just as bad as Ueno' and it's kind of a weird take really? Like, Kawai is no saint, not by a long shot, she does deny she had any part in the bullying of Shouko and it is shown that that's wrong, she was complacent in the whole thing, she pins it all on Shoya, like yeah! I get that!
But I don't think Kawai hates Shouko. I don't think she ever really did, she just wanted to fit in with her peers like most children do, and yeah, that did cause her to be complacent and laugh at the bullying because that's what her friend group was doing, doesn't make it right but I think it's important to get that. She probably does genuinely think she didn't have a part in the bullying because it was never actively done, she was trying to fit in with her peers, don't forget they treated Sahara poorly as well for being friends with Shouko, I'm not gonna blame a kid for wanting to avoid that. She reads as if she genuinely doesn't realise the part she played in the bullying and because of that she is genuinely hurt and confused at the accusation. A Silent Voice doesn't really develop her character past it but Kawai is not as Irredemable as some of you make her seem.
Ueno hates Shouko, and she makes it very very clear that she hates Shouko. To everyone around her, to Shouko herself. She is still actively bullying Shouko when everyone else around her has moved on, hell, the first thing she does when she sees Shouko and Shoya together is attempt to take Shouka's hearing aids off her because she still thinks it's just fun and that Shoya will play along. She hates Shouko because she views her as the reason that Shoya lost all his friends, which is blatanty an untrue statement, Shoya lost his friends because he was a bully and no one wanted to be assosiated with him when it wasn't cool to be a bully anymore.
The ferris wheel scene. Is awful. It's the most emotionally charged scene to me. Ueno straight up tells Shouko that she's the problem and that the way she is is just a burden on everyone around her, she refuses to use Shouko's notebook to communicate like Shouko wants, and when Shouko expresses that she doesn't hate Ueno and that she hates herself, Ueno pushes her to the ground and yells at her that she's just the same as she was back in elementary, it is awful Ueno is fucking awful! After Shoya gets put in a coma saving Shouko, Ueno beats her up and yells at her about how everything that happened is all her fault, as if she literally didn't just try to commit suicide because she felt like a burden on the people around her.
I just. Don't get how you guys see 'Girl who was complacent in bullying who genuinely doesn't think she had a part in it and so deflects blame onto another person who had a bigger part' and 'Girl who literally goes out of her way to make an already depressed girl feel even worse about herself because she thinks that she shouldn't have to feel bad about being a bully' and went 'Yep! This are the exact same!' like.????

my autistic ass avoided watching the x-files because i knew it would consume me....
& now here i am fully consumed even though I've only watched the first few handful of episodes of s1 (i'm regaining spoons needed for media consumption), but let me tell you w h a t!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was so excited i started crying because it combines unbridled pining, a skeptic & her believer husband partner, true crime, weird mythology, aliens (which i already knew abt obvi), unlikely besties who are prepared to square up at all times (re; scully being cold towards the agents mocking mulder & mulder being ready to fight g o d whenever anything happens to scully).
i just love the show a lot & i expected this but goddamn!!!!!! it's wormed into my spin category & now my alien spin is returning along with my 'unexplained happenings spin!!!!! i'm being consumed i tell you!!!!

to take a completely different spin from jjk, i need y'all to know i'm always thinking about zombie au's and what oc's would work in them and this is me saying i will write a zombie au of any sort with you in a heartbeat bc the zombie genre is ( maybe unfortunately asdf ) one of my favorites to think about and indulge in :' )

My favorite thing to do is assert that Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) are the pinnacle of cinematic masterpieces and I wouldn’t change a thing both because it gets people so mad because What About Citizen Kane, What About Everything Everywhere All At Once, What about blah blah blah and also because I love Sonic :)
