#how different each take on the story is

[ghastbutlikegay]

i just realized that since i actually deliberately AVOID cartoon fandoms most of the time, having a cartoon blog on the fandom website probably isnt a good idea

#my enjoyment of cartoons tends to be like #disconnected from the concept of fandom? #like i dont want to get into headcanons or fic or anything #i want to discuss the media as it exists #and i want to pick it apart and criticize it #and in the case of the turtle franchise #i have been having so much fun comparing each version as i watch them #and seeing which version did what better #what changes between them #how different each take on the story is #from what ive seen theres a lot of hostility between fans of different versions though? #which has me kinda worried that if i post praise for the 1990 movie and criticism of the 2012 cartoon in the same day #ill be accused of talking shit and trying to make people feel bad for liking the 2012 on or something #but yeah with every cartoon i like (not just turtles) #it’s been a lot of me rambling on discord to my partners about like #the writing the animation the voice acting etc etc #occasionally if im especially attached to some characters ill do some silly headcanons #my enjoyment of cartoons is usually very isolated though #it’s kinda like my pony doll collection? #idk how to explain what that means but #i collect information about cartoons the same way i collect pony dolls #instead of it being like. transformative

What did/do you like about Pharah?

Uh, gameplay-wise, I really love characters in shooters who rely on three-dimensional movement techs. Chaining together hover and jump to stay in the air for as long as possible and keep momentum is so satisfying, and picking enemies off from the sky made me feel like a bird of prey. I was a good Pharah main.

Story-wise, there unfortunately isn't much to canonically go off because Pharah is so underutilized and neglected. Her personality's pretty boilerplate "heroic hero" (she's literally inspired by Captain America).

But it's the crumbs/bits and pieces that I really latched onto. Pharah's a confirmed lesbian; her short story with Baptiste implies she harbors a crush on Mercy (fucking thank you.). She's biracial Egyptian/First Nations. She has major mommy issues, having grown up both admiring and resenting Ana. She's the bridge between Old Overwatch, inspired by the idealized heroes who surrounded her childhood, and New Overwatch. She's one of the only inter-generational characters in the cast; someone whose experiences span the gap, which is why I seriously believe Pharah would make a great main character.

There isn't much to go off of, though; she's a very uncomplicated character (she's a soldier for a private military corporation, lol.). But that just means she's a blank slate character, so I've seen fanfic writers run wild and create some really interesting takes on her. My favorite interpretation of her's a dense, herbo gym-bro type (a lot of her liens are about work outs, exercising, and playing sports) who's easily excitable under her seemingly self-serious, armored visage. We see how she tends to gloat and hype herself up when she's on a streak too, so Pharah definitely has a competitive and boastful side under her more professional and militant performance.

Now Mercy? Mercy is a real complex character.

#i was a diehard pharmercy shipper back then btw #the inherent homoerotic experience of pharmercy gameplay. #the homoerotic experience of looking to the skies to fly to safety under the protection of your knight in shining armor #the homoerotic experience of feeling white hot murderous rage at an enemy trying to pick off your pocket mercy #i still kinda despise gency lmao. you cannot convince me mercy would be in love with genji. at all. #he'd make her feel so uncomfortable and guilty. in my head. the canon is obviously different #gency is sexless. absolutely zero bite or tension. #i could go on about mercy and how her character has so much missed potential #i'm no longer in my overwatch fandom phase but #i still think about that new flirty line they added in ow2 where mercy goes “ahh you're like my knight in shining armor!” #and pharah goes “that's what i'm goin for ;)” and i sigh dreamily #really happy that pharah outright says she's a lesbian too but it's hard to feel good about rep when you know blizzard uses it for pr #to be honest i'm willing to bet cash that blizzard's keeping pharmercy in their back pocket as ammo for the next controversy #last year we already saw logs about pharah fretting and taking care of mercy and the two talking about how good it is to see each other #tbh pharah has the same energy/demeanor as applejack. cheerful and competitive in a can of whoopass #but yeah overall pharah's a pretty shallow character. i have IDEAS on how i'd go about deepening her but. whatever #that's sorta what happens when you have to juggle a cast of 40 characters. a lot get left with the bare minimum #ok so i wrote this entire post up saying that pharah isn't in ow2's storymode when she is. she's in the story i just. forgot #because she doesn't do or contribute anything interesting #ok i'm stopping here. overwatch's story is such an interesting narrative mess i could go on for hours #i dunno how you come up with such incredible character designs and give them such an unincredible story #it's also so so so interesting seeing the conflicting takes on characters the writers have #mercy in gameplay and voicelines is peppy and cheerful and optimistic #but mercy in the storymode journal logs is tired. jaded. a total shut in who forgets to leave her room and social #and YES! THAT'S WHAT I WANT!!! THAT'S MERCY TO ME!!! THE DOCTOR WHO FORGETS TO TAKE CARE OF HERSELF #ask me #anon

i don’t get the appeal of an incest ship if you’re only ever going to focus on the good romantic feelings and not the icky negative ones. the resentment the feeling of being trapped shackled wanting out and away from the person who knows so much too much about you since before you even knew to not allow it but at the same time you can’t imagine living in a world without them being away is like tearing a limb a piece of your soul you will never again be complete without them. no one else will ever understand you the way they do no one else will ever get so deep under your skin and you may hate it but you hate the thought of them not being there even more you can’t stand to see anyone else get to a part of them you didn’t and even worse when they get it before you. you push and you push and you push but when they let go it’s like you’re free falling and it doesn’t matter how far away you run you will never be far enough away because you carry them inside you everywhere you go. you tell yourself you want nothing more than to get away but they’re the only home you will ever have and you won’t ever let anyone get that close you’re already moulded to only fit in perfectly with them and you didn’t have a choice but this is who you are. there’s nothing you could do to make them let you go but there’s nothing you could do to make them let you go. you want to be so close to them you want to merge your bodies into one you hate how crowded you feel when they’re in the same room like they’re sucking in all the air and there isn’t any left for you and you want to get away so you can just breathe but you don’t even want to breathe in the air that hasn’t passed through their lungs first you hate that you feel this way you wish you could claw it out of your veins but then who would you be without it without them you want so much and it’s so ugly and you’re ashamed of how raw that need is how you want every part the good the bad the human you wish none of this had ever happened you feel dirty you never even had a chance to find something else be something else but then you look over and you love them so much so much and when it comes down to it nothing else was ever going to be enough for you anyway.

#and this is all still just one type of the different dynamics possible #and even then i haven’t covered everything #it’s all just one tight hot mess of feelings. and it’s so good #there is still much much more and i wanted to write it but it was just getting so long #this isn’t targeted at anyone person or fandom but i have recently noticed an increasing trend of (that is probably just my dash tho) #treating incest ships as primarily romantic and. that just takes away everything that makes them so engaging in the first place #to each their own i don’t believe in telling people how to enjoy their fiction but i just don’t understand it is all #you do you i’m not judging or huffy about it or anything. and obviously i’m not talking about #making fluffy feel good posts/art/stories etc about your ships #but treating these ships the same way and looking at them mainly through the lens of romantic relationships #will just leave you with a huge part of them missing #and you can’t really understand their dynamics and their interactions without that very important context (they were family first) #which is also the foundation of their relationship #.txt

Please understand that, more often than not, works of fiction are a fictional exploration of concepts and ideas rather than a declaration of morality

#there’s a difference between fiction that condones disgusting things and one that’s breaking them apart and analyzing them through fiction #reading comprehension and understanding context is important YALL #please I beg learn how to separate fiction from reality folks #every so often I’ll see people making WILD claims about a person because they wrote a complex and flawed character #most of the people I know who enjoy exploring dark and questionable themes in their work are the kindest and most selfless people I know #while the people who sit atop a pedestal and judge every aspect of a stranger that they don’t know turn out to be the most selfish and vile #i should not be scared to write a story about morally questionable characters finding humanity #but yet here we are #Ive seen this kinda stuff do more harm than good too many times #sorry to post a hot take #just good lord I’m old I’ve seen this shit too many times #stop eating each other #you will see conflict and dark themes in my stories #if you cant handle messy themes in fiction please feel free to unfollow or block me for your own mental well-being #I’m sure I’ll regret posting this later but just putting it out there #hate being reminded that as a creator strangers are staring at you and making horrifying assumptions about who you are as a person

Thinking about book 7 and I am really glad that they are taking their time with it?

I know that it’s longer than the other twst books and more lore, but I think it needs that.

It’s needs the length and it needs all these events to occur.

It needs its time to spread out these events so we can not only learn about the characters but the events that influenced these characters.

Which we didn’t need before in previous books, but this one we do. Because of the situation at hand compared to previous books would not work the same way if they followed the pattern nor would it give that effect.

We need to know why certain events took place. How certain characters came to be and what influenced their relationships.

What led to these events.

And while, yes, the angst is painful and tear jerking, these moments were very much needed.

Because without learning them first hand, without seeing it, we wouldn’t be as hit as we were in the previous books. And this is the only way for us to get that same effect as previously.

We can be in their shoes now and feel the pain they went through.

It’s very different when you’re told about an event that happened versus actually seeing the characters go through it and experiencing it.

So despite the length and the pain, I like that they are taking their time and hashing it out the way they are.

The wait was definitely worth it just for that. And I know it can be frustrating, but for a dorm that was always mysterious and we had barely no info on, it is what they needed to do.

So we, the players, can get a grasp on the story and these characters really well.

And I am thankful they are taking their time with it, despite wanting everyone to be happy you know? And wanting to see that happy ending and for them to be a family again.

Because it will be all the more satisfying once we get there, once we travel through that distance, and we finally get to that ending. As we also feel their relief and happiness after such a long and hard won journey, and that’s what I’m looking forward to.

That’s feeling of happiness, relief, and affection because it was all worth this long journey we had.

#Hana rambles #don’t mind me just thinking about how the story has been laid out and how different it is but very much needed you know #it has been a three year wait and it has been worth it for the content we got #we were deprived both main and side story #so I’m glad we got such a good hashed out main story #because this way we can truly see each character for who they are and how much they mean #there’s something different about someone saying they’ve been through war and then seeing general lilia Vanrouge during the war #watching as he gaurds the egg #watching the birth id malleus birth #learning about silvers birth #learning about sebek and his background #I know other people are unsettled because of how short there books were but compared to those topics and this topics #this was the only way they could have really meaningfully explain and give it to us #and the three year wait was what led to this #I read somewhere that from the get go book 7 would take over a year to finish and we are seeing that now #and why that is #and that’s why despite there’s side events so other twst characters still get their spotlight still you know?

Ok, not to make another rambling Helena post, but I really wish that DC had taken the time to explore Cass and Helena’s relationship more thoroughly pre52. Like they’re mirrors!!

Cassandra Cain is raised in an abusive environment from infancy, spending her childhood training to become a weapon. Helena Bertinelli grows up in a wealthy and loving household, sheltered and unaware of her family’s crimes.

At age 8, Cass sees a man die at her own hands. She runs and spends the rest of her life trying to make up for it, vowing never to kill again.

At age 8, Helena sees her family murdered in front of her. She spends most of her remaining childhood training to become a weapon, vowing to kill to avenge their losses.

By 17, Cass arrives in Gotham. After encountering Batman, she quickly latches on to him as a symbol of hope — someone that uses abilities like hers for good, who values the lives of others just as highly as she does. She wants to follow in his footsteps.

At 16, Helena returns to Gotham. After encountering Batman, she quickly latches on to him as a symbol of fear—someone that uses abilities like hers to make the mob afraid, someone who understands vengeance. She wants to follow in his footsteps.

During No Man’s Land, Helena becomes the Bat. Bruce takes the suit away from her. Not long afterwards, he gives Cass the same uniform.

Like. Let them interact and let it be messy etc etc.

#I just think they could have some really interesting stories with each other if given the chance #like obviously looking at their different approaches would be part of it #but also I think digging into their relationships with Bruce and Barbara would be cool #or their complicated family relationships in general #maybe doing something with Helena’s own fears of her capacity for violence in later appearances #or something with Cass and the control it takes to hold yourself back from doing worse #like how Cass is also shown to enjoy causing fear sometimes #idk there’s a lot to explore!! #cassandra cain #helena bertinelli #rambles #dc

"lol they should make Steph spoiler again she's basically not even a Batgirl" look I'm not too jazzed about the current state of Batgirl lore either rn but if I have to suffer through another decade of terrible babsgirl content PLEASE AT LEAST LET ME HAVE BATGIRL STEPH, IF ONLY IN NAME

#ramblings of a lunatic #dc comics #stephanie brown #ideally we'd have no babsgirls and Steph and Cass co-existing as two different types of batgirls both together and separate #since even beyond personality the types of heroes they were- how they fought what they fought their thinking their approach etc- #-was all very different from each other #and in calling back to their respective eras as Batgirl we'd get a steph who feels more like batgirl and less like n52 spoiler #but unfortunately dc hates me and insists on shoving babs into a role better occupied by steph and cass #leaving neither girl to really be able to flourish as batgirl #< this was inspired by me seeing ppl. not quite gloating. that's mean. but they were celebrating- #-about some steph concept art (NEW STUFF WITH STEPH WOO) being labeled ''batgirl/spoiler'' #like i don't think it's a reflection of story progression (bc it wouldn't be progression. it'd be regression. batgirl was forward for steph) #i think it's a reflection of the fact that editorial feels bullied and strong armed by fans into acknowledging steph (and cass) as batgirls #sips juice. anyway #i lowkey think it'd be cool to have steph and cass be batgirls in different cities. cass already had bludhaven let steph take a stab at it #if we're insistent on keeping babs in bludhaven then let her oracle for steph ala bg 2009 #it'd be neat! we could finally explore the tensions and parallels between dick and steph! #and you wouldn't have to remove steph from gotham either considering dicks there constantly too #you lose lich rally nothing and gain so much #but really I'm happy we get anything with steph considering she's only been getting cameos for nearly a year now #steph nation winning despite it all

composing music for my zelda dnd campaign like how a normal person does

#song of sages #I’ve already written themes for each of my five PCs #plus the first movement or ‘the lost hero’s theme’ which will be a full length composition following link’s story from start to finish #I’ve got bits of the rest of it but those are top secret for spoiler reasons #movement one is ‘link the legendary hero’ and it’s for piano and flute #the sage songs are all gonna have a second part the players will have to learn later #and I WANT to combine them all into one ensemble composition but idk how I’m gonna do that yet #they’re all in the same key but I made them all very different otherwise so they’d feel distinct #maybe I’ll take motifs from each and put them throughout the ensemble piece? idk #meanwhile have I written my plan for session 0 tomorrow? have I made the Map? no lol

i hate when characters are written out of character in fics unless it's people making anders and fenris be nice to merrill. i think that's good mischaracterization actually

#also when anders and fenris come to a begrudging respect for each other #look these people hung out together for seven years. they gotta do more than tolerate each other #there are holes in da2's characterizations and it's interesting to plug them #i think the banters we see don't tell the whole story #i think the banters we see between anders and fenris are at their worst #i think both anders and fenris woudl take merrill under their wing. she appreciates it even though she doesn't need it #because it's different than how varric takes her under his wing #because varric is like. protecting her and teaching her how to navigate the city #whereas anders and fenris are like. trying to change her way wrt demons and blood magic #and i think merrill's smart enough to see their hearts are in the right place. so she appreciates it #even though it's so so so irritating and she wishes they would stop #all's i'm sayin is. there's depth to these characters we don't get to see #and when i have time i may just start actually writing about it #this has been a post #anders #merrill #fenris #dragon age

huh. well. i didnt want to keep my hopes up to high for the yyh live action, and thankfully so bc then it ended up being better than i was expecting! itll never be able to live up to the anime, but it was enjoyable enough at least.

unfortunately it was. extremely fast paced. they condensed so much into so little time, giving the characters very little room to banter with each other and show their, yunno. character. at least for kurama and hiei, which are my favorite characters of ever (tied with my two faves from sth). kurama never even got to show any of his dorkiness or love for messing with others, especially hiei! their interactions were so limited... it makes me so sad :( also the fact that kuwabara made a jab at hieis height even though hiei is now only a few inches shorter than him ..........

while the humor was rather limited, im glad that it was there at all (bc i worried it was only going to be super serious), and there were def some moments that really made me laugh! n i liked that hiei was still a little shit to kuwabara lol. and also that keiko got to have some badassery :) the action scenes were all pretty cool too, and i do think it was cool how they made some stuff a lot creepier (like those demon bugs possessing people and like, elder toguro in general lol)

ill also say, while as weird as it was to have so much of the story condensed and altered, it was also kind of interesting how they were able to tie in everything into a more streamlined story. while i way prefer the pace and storyline of the original, it was neat how they made each major plotpoint slide into the next like they did.

#yyh #yu yu hakusho #yyh live action #yyh live action spoilers #overall when im hyperfixated on a story and find comfort in characters exactly as they are in it #when theres an alternate take on the story where things happen differently it always feels kinda like. uncanny? to me #same with how sonic x can feel to me when it comes to rouge n shadow and its alteration of sa2s events n such #its fun to see new yyh stuff at least tho #i hope if theres a second season that the characters will get to have a lot more interactions with each other #bc their banter (esp between hiei n kurama) is the best ever and why i love them so much

[blueskittlesart]

i miss the champions so much i know there's like no logical reason for them to come back in totk but i wanna see my guys again even if it's just more memories or something. do you think there's any way they could pull that off based on what we know about the game already?

i really hope so! at the very least i hope the abilities you get in botw won't be removed bc i cant navigate that fucking map without revali's gale. even the lack of expedited cooldowns from the dlc starts to get to me after a while at this point LMAO. in terms of actual implementation i'm trying to think if there's an easy way to give us more champion content in totk. In theory, we could continue to recover link's memories and see more of the champions that way, but from a writing standpoint that might feel clunky & at odds with the rest of the story unless it's VERY carefully implemented. My honest answer from a writing & game dev standpoint is that i don't think we're likely to get many more memory-style cutscenes, especially with the release of hyrule warriors a few years ago sort of serving as an extra source of champions content already. that might have been the point of hyrule warriors from a game dev standpoint, actually, if they realized while in production that totk wasn't going to have a lot of room for champion-centric content, hyrule warriors would have given them an easy way to satiate fans who really loved those characters without compromising the integrity of their already-written story in totk. tldr realistically i don't think there's going to be a whole lot of champion-centric content in totk but for now we can pray that i will have to eat these words in 3 months

#a lot of this speculation is also based off my own speculations about what the story of totk will be too so. take this with a grain of salt #but the existence of hyrule warriors at all suggests to me that we're going to get a lot less pre-calamity content in totk if any #because like. they wouldn't have made that game if they knew that precalamity cutscenes were gonna be a heavy feature of totk #hyrule warriors' draw from a narrative standpoint is that it occupies a space in the timeline that no other game can fill #and if they knew that within 2 years they were going to release a game that DID fill that space with the potential to retcon whatever they #wrote into hyrule warriors then they would have given hyrule warriors a different story/place in the timeline imo. #releasing 2 games back to back whose stories sit so close together without directly interacting with each other isnt a smart business move #so tldr i do not think we will see much of the champions in totk. HOWEVER i dont think theyll be gone entirely!!! the writers arent stupid #they know how beloved these characters have become and if anything hyrule warriors sales REINFORCED the demand for these characters. so #i think we will see them again in some capacity just probably not memory-style anymore #asks #totk predictions
