Sue me for this if you wish but I think Big World Big Adventures: The Movie wasn't actually as bad as everyone says it is and it's high time we gave it the appreciation it deserves, like it's a bit too overhated in my opinion. Maybe it's just my inability to be overly mean and aggressive abt pieces of media that line up with comfort interests but I genuinely don't get the hate towards the BWBA movie....like nothing was bad abt it in my own opinion? The songs were fire all the way through, the visuals are very pretty (the LIGHTING!!!), and I mean like Nia is there and how can you possibly hate anything that features Nia she CARRIES that movie so hard. I've seen some ppl say the movements are too much but like...it makes the engines far more expressive and I highly prefer them having a bit more movement to being entirely stiff because being stiff restricts their expressiveness even more, and tbh realism was left behind the second the cgi series made its debut (Ex: D51s were first produced in 1936 and yet Hiro was somehow the first engine on the island of Sodor) so I don't really look for realism too hard when it comes to TTTE because I mean...the trains talk and are fully sentient, and that's already grounds enough for me suspend my disbelief a TON.

Maybe it is just my Nia bias (AND YONG BAO IS THERE AT ONE POINT!!! Absolutely love him.) but I think BWBA is pretty good, it's one of my favorite TTTE movies. It's just really whack that half the fandom seems to hate or at least mildly dislike this movie, which was a huge shocker to me because I was happy stimming the ENTIRE time on my first watch. It was fun and colorful and expressive and thinking about how it introduced so many international machines to the lineup...like I physically cannot hate a movie that caters to my favorite thing EVER in shows with sentient machines (seeing the machines from other countries). I don't mind the fact that ppl dislike it at all (bc everyone's entitled to their own opinions and all that jazz) but it's more just I can't really find any negatives about it, the only character introduced in it that I dislike is the one they (assumedly) want you to dislike and even then I gotta admit his song slaps. To each their own in the end, I suppose, but the point I'm trying to make is that I think we gotta be at least a LITTLE bit nicer abt this movie. (And if anyone interacts w/ this post, please don't like. Start fights on it or anything. This post isn't mean to spark any discourse or aggression, it's just my personal thoughts that I'm sharing with the fandom because so far all of you that I've met are EXTREMELY kind and understanding and so I trust you all to be normal abt it.)

#ttte #thomas and friends #thomas & friends #Hero of The Rails is my favorite TTTE movie of all time tho :)#always will be #but yeah everytime I've seen someone talk abt this film they rarely say positive things which is just fine y'know-#-it's not like I'm mortally wounded over the fact that ppl don't like it #I just find myself unable to see what could possibly be so bad about it #but that's kind of just a me problem I suppose lmao

I really hate that you can’t put your opinion on the internet without someone interpreting it as a personal attack on them. Especially on here, for some reason people always either take it as some sort of public debate and start to argue with you, its somehow labeled as fandom discourse, or its flat out seen as hate when it’s literally just your one opinion??

I know usually the people who say, “I guess I cant state my opinion anymore!” probably said something really shitty, but on here I truly feel like if I said how I feel about literally anything someone will get offended even if it had nothing to do with them or it’s an overall unimportant topic (like me not liking a game or a character)

For example, if I said something as simple as, “I dislike/hate oranges.” someone would feel the need to make this psa along the lines of, “remember guys, it’s okay to like the fruit orange!! #orangepositivity” or sometimes even get a bit snarky back (while still being indirect) and be like, “Wow, I guess we cant like the fruit orange anymore... love all the negativity in the fruit fandom.”, or “Am I really still seeing fruit discourse on my dash in the year 2019″, but its what I personally think about it, not a “fuck you” to everyone who likes said thing??? And even if I was to say it in a more aggressive tone (Fuck oranges/I hate oranges) its still my opinion??

Its just so ridiculous how personally some people take things and its incredibly frustrating basically seeing someone vague me, referencing what i said, immediately after i’d share how i felt about something and misconstruing it into this evil hate. Things like that would still happen even if I barely even mentioned how I felt about something.

I understand if someone is already insecure about liking said thing, but people should unfollow if they dont like that i dont also like something?? I have no clue how people could get offended I dont think the same way as they do... It’s so annoying that people interpret it as hate. It’d obviously be different if i was like “Everyone who likes cats is dumb and needs to die.”, problematic or morally wrong, but I've never said anything like that... It just drives me crazy!!!!! I know if I get more followers or whatever i’ll see more people who disagree with me and want to make a scene and I should ignore it, but its still so absurd... why can no one look past dissimilar interests and just respect that we have different likes and dislikes. me not liking ur favorite game, liking a character u hate, hating a character u love isnt some declaration of war?? and why would you follow someone when you dont have any shared interests

i made this blog basically focused on games/shows and with some aesthetic shit thrown in, so obviously i decided im not gonna randomly talk about controversial topics but I will definitely say things like “hey i like/dislike this game. i thought it was good/bad because...” because i really do like games and all that and i wanna talk about it!! and i think its just sad i finally decided i should put my foot down with passive aggressive comments abt my opinions when i finally thought i could put express my opinions. i think i wanna try and make a conscious effort to be more confident on here and say how i feel about things i consume without thinking i need to turn off anon/replies or whatever bc i dont like cullenrutherford, dont unconditionally support game companies like blizzard/ea/bethesda/etc, struggled playing a level in okami, havent played that many japanese games, or whatever other thing i’ve said ppl will get upset by

#personal #long post #this is going under a readmore bc its long lol.#the 2am long post under a read more #i just needed to complain abt it idk
