#i still hate this episode though

#it's the fact that her literal boyfriend is standing eight feet away #i just think about this a lot #it's just the way that she so stoically tries to save his life in the same way he's trying to save hers #(that doctorification piece again) #and she tries to act unaffected (like he does) #but that little moment when she looks back at him when he's walking away #and the kids and danny are talking about the government burning up the trees #but she's just looking at him and watching him disappear #it was just very heavy #don't even get me started on the way he watches her walk away #i still hate this episode though #doctor who #dwedit #dwgifs #dw companions #twelve #twelfth doctor #clara oswald #twelveclara #whouffaldi #dws8 #episode: in the forest of the night #peter capaldi #jenna coleman #gif warning #the colouring fought me like no other #i still can't look at this without my eye twitching

steven got them for her

#ive been on a bit of a su kick recently i was rewatching some episodes #just kinda picking and choosing them though but i’ll probably do a full rewatch sometime soon #still really really like this show :] i didn’t realize just how much i missed it #ive never posted or said anything about it before but this show was so huge to me and i think it really holds up still #hard to believe its 10 years old later on this year. grew up on this #lapis was always one of my favorites i think. i remember rewatching her debut episodes over and over again when i was younger #sorry for being sentimental on my not-quite-art blog im just going insane about an old favorite #man i hate how its an. old favorite to me now. absolutely horrid #anyways i hate the passage of time but i think im too young to think that #steven universe #lapis lazuli su #probably wont be posting anything else su related i just had to get it out of my system after rewatching alone at sea earlier

thinking about how akio sees his younger self in utena and wondering if there's any fondness there. doesn't change the horror of what he does to her obviously but i do wonder

#akio and utena #m #long ramble in the tags sorry: #the thing about akio is that he's so evil bit he's also so human #he has feelings. i just don't know what they are (if anything) toward his victims #he loves anthy at the very least i'm sure of that. even if he hates her too. just like she loves and hates him. the lines are blurry. #and i just. i have to wonder whether any of that extends to utena at all. we know anthy at times feels similarly about utena and dios #(and akio by extension.) the simultanious love and resentment. so it's not too unlikely i think. #like. even though he never had anything but bad intentions in getting close to her #i'm not sure it's possible to do everything he did and feel nothing #not that he has any meaningful amount of guilt or remorse for it. i don't think that. #and i obviously don't think he “loved” her in any of the ways she might have thought he did #but did he not care at all? did he not feel any kind of fondness or sympathy or just. idk. pity? for her? #whatever the case it wasn't enough to reconsider having her killed so you know. how much does that actually matter anyway #idk. i think about it a lot. how abusers are rarely entirely indifferent toward their victims #the role he's playing in her life is so fucked up but it IS a role he's playing and i wonder how much he you know... internalizes it? #how much does he believe the illusion of family that he invites her into? because akio DOES often buy into his own illusions. #(similarly i think it's possible that akio is fond of touga too. their mentor-protégé relationship is horrible and abusive #but that doesn't make it less real. you know? maybe real is the wrong word.) #when he talks in episode 25 about wanting utena and anthy closer that's obviously so he can continue to groom her #but is there something genuine there too? i don't know. #again. it obviously does not make anything he does better or even different. but it is interesting to think about to me. #on the other side of that coin does seeing his own past youth and naivete and desire to do good that he (maybe) once had #reflected back at him through her mean anything? #is there resentment there? that she is what he couldn't be? or more likely he just thinks that idealism is stupid. #either way it's something he wants to take from her. anyway ramble over. #i talk a lot about utena's feelings toward akio (familial vs romantic love and the way the two are intertwined in fucked up ways) #but not much the other way around. probably because utena is actually a sympathetic character whose feelings the show very clearly #wants you to analyze and think about. #which is... less true for akio i think. though he's still a complex character with complex motives. he's just harder to get a grasp on.

My Top 4 least favorite Amphibia episodes.

#btw i don't hate sprivy as a ship #i swear i don't #the ship is cute outside of the episode #but i feel like they forced it into the show #the third one kinda reused the plot from a caravan named desire with a similar moral #only with hp putting him and his grandkids in danger with the government #even though he already had a taste of fame in amphibia #the fourth one was just boring #even though the mayor has redeemed himself #i'm stills not a fan of him #and apart of the marcy mention and anne and sprig getting arrested #the ending had a promising plot for future episodes but ultimately lead to nowhere #disney #disney tva #disney tv shows #cartoons #animation #2d animation #amphibia #sprig plantar #ivy sundew #sprivy #polly plantar #hop pop plantar #maddie flour #sadie croaker #leopald loggle #least favorite episodes #i'm sorry sprivy shippers #i really am

"we have casino cups at home!"

casino cups at home:

#I don't hate it #but #I feel like a lott of shavs media videos are trying to do what casino cups did #the ask blog format #and the focus on the casino and the demons/hell has become a lot more common in cuphead fan projects #because of the success of casino cups #any cuphead video they do now seems uncannily similar #I like the artist though! shout out neonross #and the VAs aren't bad either #like nothing can replace Jeromy Taita (he did every character in the og dubs) #but still good! espec king dice's VA #shavs has 3 cuphead series all of them only have 2-3 episodes each #I feel like it would be better to focus on ONE series #sorry I have a lot of thoughts #this post was sitting in my drafts

I know I haven't posted most of these on here, might correct that by the end. But this one I am way too proud of NOT to show here.

I have always been Normal about Digimon, Wizardmon, and Season 1 Episode 34 The Eight Child Revealed. There is no evidence to the contrary. You cannot prove otherwise.

#Digimon #Wizardmon #Gatomon #Wizarmon #Tailmon #Cringetober #Cringetober 2023 #okay fr though I had this episode memorized #also taking this moment to say the english dub ROBBED US #WIZARDMONS GIFT SPECIFICALLY #It's MUCH better subbed but thanks to Capitalism I cant find it subbed anymore #still good dubbed but gf now doesnt wanna see it dubbed BECAUSE its better subbed and she HATES subbed #I'm in pain someone lmk where I can find it plz #i speak #my art

they werent lying that knuckles series barely has knuckles in it

#i pirated that shit Btw just so we're clear. also gonna talk about it a little bit in the tags #nothing too spoilery but also might not wanna read if you want to go in knowing absolutely nothing? idk #anyway he WAS a main character still he was present for a decent amount of the first couple episodes #but the amount of screentime he gets just starts dropping after that . hes barely there at all in the second half ??? #and it feels like theres a lot of scenes mostly focusing on wade and his problems and not near as many for knuckles and his whole deal #overall it feels more like a wade show with knuckles in it than a knuckles show with wade in it. which sucks #and human characters having plot relevance isnt the problem here i dont mind human characters at all i think they can be really fun #its the fact that the human characters are taking over the story and spotlight when the show is called knuckles #and all the marketing makes it look like knuckles is the main focus #and i also would have preferred if they just went with a differnet character to be knuckles' human friend #because i dont particulraly care about wade. and the knuckles (and sonic and tails) i know would not be friends with cops </3 #well at least the story wasnt knuckles training wade to be a better cop like a lot of people were expecting but thats like.the bare minimum #also aside from the issues relating to knuckles' screentime (or lack of screentime) i thought the ending was unsatisfying #regardless of all that though there WERE some parts i enjoyed or found kind of funny or whatever. because knuckles so cutesy as always #knuckles being a cute little guy is the most important part of the show actually #and i liked the parts with sonic tails and maddie even if they were only there for like 5 minutes #(i really wish those three had gotten more screentime. i feel like they could have easily worked in at least one more scene with them) #and its a minor thing but the opening sequence is cute. was honestly expecting just a title card or something #overall the show is just . kind of okay i guess. not the worst thing ive ever seen but still disappointing ? idk how to explain.. #my expectations also werent very high in the first place #so maybe im being a bit more generous than i would have been otherwise. idk #and i definitely would not recommend this to anyone who already dislikes the sonic movies . youll probably hate this more #like people who thought the human characters got too much screentime in the second movie would lose their minds if they saw this

"she met a pinecone's fate" was hysterical the first time around and it's still funny but the longer I think about it the more unsure I actually am about the line

#it just feels so. callous. or like. it doesn't FEEL callous cause it's not portrayed that way and you laugh and I'm still laughing #but like. it's callous that is a callous thing to say and it's not like percy doesn't have dickishness to spare #but on this specific thing? really? he's not like that #like. this is after being told the full story so he knows what happened to thalia #and his response to effectively hearing about how this girl died for her friends and not just any friends but the people he's with rn #is “she met a pinecone's fate” a like. dismissive joke about what happened to her #like in the books percy empathizes with thalia's situation he feels for her it's tragic it's a somber moment😭😭 #she was a demigod more powerful than the others she was hunted even more than they usually are (percy relates) #and she died for her friends (definitely something percy relates to and would value lol) #and on TOP OF THAT. to say this in front of grover and annabeth? who clearly loved her a lot?? #like. percy doesn't like annabeth atp but he doesn’t hate her enough to be crossing those sorts of lines?? #and GROVER. is literally his best friend. can you not figure that thalia's death probably weighs on him #oh wait I just remembered at that point in the episode he doesn't know grover was with them lol sorry ignore that bit #anyway. like I get it it's funny and they have a lightly antagonistic relationship in ttc so it's funny!! #like haha he's ALREADY getting his digs in!! #but. idk. feels a bit mean :/ #pjo #pjo tv #dropping episode 3 thoughts mere hours before episode 4 lmao #I'm not gonna be able to watch 4 tonight though lol

just watched athena begins and oooooooooooooof wow that was like. not a good episode of television 😬 i obv haven't watched s5/s6 yet but i have seen some people criticize kristen reidel by saying she just tells the stories she wants to tell regardless of whether they're in character or fit with the established canon and i got that from this episode big-time

#athena you deserved a better begins episode than #''i had a secret dead fiance whose existence has literally never even been implied before now! #now i'm gonna singlehandedly track down his killer extrajudiciously and have him arrested #because even though the guy has completely turned his life around and helped countless kids from ending up where he did #and also has a family of his own that i will be destroying by having him arrested #meaning i will arguably be actively harming the world by having him arrested instead of just keeping what i've learned a secret #he still needs to go to jail simply because The American Criminal Justice System Is The Only Justice That Counts #and cop shows have the shittiest takes on ethics since fucking kant'' #911 abc #911 lb #i love this show but CHRIST i hate when it does copaganda and it's been really egregious a couple of times now

everyone forgot fabian and i gasped so loud i choked on my own spit

#ok listen I know these are like. basic fears that everyone has #but seeing fabian admit that he's scared of being incompetent and helpless #and fig think that she's still an awful person deep down even though she tries so hard and no one likes her for real #and riz thinking he's never going to fit in or be valued the way his friends value their partners that he's always going to be less #and gorgug and his imposter syndrome #i am actually unwell i hate this its such a good story #i hate that i've just been teary eyed this entire episode but damn this is a good story #fantasy high #fantasy high sophomore year

im bored rn, here's what i'd have liked ash's gen 8 team to look like

#kinda ehhhhh on rillaboom cause i actually think cinderace would work better for him #but we're assuming that goh still exists in this au and he gets scorbunny still cause i love their relationship #anyways rillaboom and corviknight are the starter and bird he typically gets #(even aside from that i just think corviknight is SO good for him #alcremie is so he can get one fairy type cause i hate the mimey retcon. pussy move #he could also have another mon on here that he had to release for some reason but he'd done that two gens in a row beforehand #so it's probably fine #also its the same alcremie he had in that one episode #falinks is mostly just cause i think it'd have had GREAT episode potential. like it'd make for a good mini arc #maybe ash only meets the captain one at first and its all sad cause it has no troops so ash has it tag along #to find some. and once they do then they let him capture them #though im open to sirfetch'd coming back here #and ofc he actually had a dracovish in the show and it works as like the weird one you wouldnt expect on his team #cause i really feel like sm was missing an oddball not as popular pokemon #may do one for chloe too cause she was done dirty. not doing one for goh cause his team flucuates and i like it like that #hes building a sanctuary and he's got some common guys that keep coming but its all up to chance #oh and ill do a paldea one too #i kinda wanted to leave one mon unevolved but eh its fine

i feel so corny for sending ppl asks all the time, but it's so dead around here. anyway what is your favorite and least favorite thing about each of the eds?

Hiiii and please NO WORRIES about sending asks. I love talking about these guys sm 😭😭 I take any excuse to do so gladly.

Ed: - He's a big sweetheart. I feel like this is commonly re-iterated, but I really love how direct and "in-tune" he is to his emotions, even if they manifest in extremes. He loves his friends, and lets them know about it all the time! - Despite this, understanding the nuances of his friends feelings seems to come kind of difficult. If he finds something amusing/funny he will not take much notice of how that affects those around him. A good example of an episode displaying this is "X Marks The Ed" where he really doesn't seem to acknowledge how bothered Eddy is about getting a zit. There are plenty other examples of this in later seasons, but I specifics are not coming to mind atm. It can be kind of frustrating to watch, but I don't hold it doesn't feel intentional or with another incentive. Delayed social awareness is something common with a lot of people, and especially kids.

Edd: - I think credit needs to be given on just HOW often Edd puts himself into the confrontational position of defending/standing up for his friends. I mean, in BPS it is obviously a big deal, but it is not, per say, an isolated incident. Pretty often throughout the show he is the one apprehended by the other kids to "apologize" for Ed and Eddy. He's regularly put in the position of mediator. I wouldn't say he is willing to be in these positions, but he still ends up taking the reins. It is so fun to watch since Eddy clearly has a better hand at sociability whereas Edd is an awkward mess. Yet here he goes again having to defend his friends (Eddy) from the witch hunt. - He is the DEFINITION of the 🤓 emoji like omg dude SHUT UPPP. A good portion of the time he kind of deserves getting his ass handed to him when he is being too intolerable. Granted, he is an enjoyable kind of annoying for a character (at least to me). I can laugh at him because he reminds me way too much of how I used to talk/act in elementary and middle school. In a way it is a little cathartic. I love characters who are a little over-their-head and egotistical. It is a Frasier and Niles Crane appeal (if anyone gets that reference).

Eddy: - Dude is so creative...I mean just look at a majority of these scams. I know the other two also play a role in constructing and conceptualizing them, but a lot of them definitely originate from Eddy. Like, the goal is making money, but the effort and variety is insane. A different thing in almost every episode. IN COMBINATION usually with an over-zealous performance. An argument is to be made that he has a lot of legitimate fun carrying these out. - His fickle tendency to kind of treat his friends like shit. I mean...Ed and ESPECIALLY Edd are guilty of this as well. There are quite a few episodes where I'm just like "come on. Did Eddy really deserve this?" But, in all honesty, he can be pretty mean-spirited in the way that a lot of preteen boys are. With his tendency to push buttons and take advantage of the other Eds weaknesses, he is seriously lucky they are just as codependent to him, as he ultimately is to them.

#thank you thank you sm fr it is nice to write these down after a stressful week : ) #idk if I would frame any of these things as things that I HATE about the characters in a way that it affects my viewing of the show #I think these character fallbacks serve a very good purpose for how each are developed and presented (even when it is frustrating) #like ultimately even though it can be irritating when eddy takes advantage of his friends I still enjoy watching it #in context with the episode and what I know about eddy's character already (same applied to the other two) #asks

okay okay. now that ive got the complaining out of my system i do need to say. i recognize that expecting this show to be brilliant all the time is unfair and it IS important to recognize that its really fundamentally a small dark comedy spin off show. in fact i think one of the main reasons this show GETS so much hate is because the long wait between episodes builds up high expectations and fans want it to be amazing and groundbreaking the whole time (ive actually briefly mentioned this before. there's a whole essay in my drafts abt this rn)

all of that said. i WAS deeply disappointed by the episode unhappy campers, but i also recognize this is an episodic situational comedy show, and i'm not gonna hold it against the show or anything. this is very rambly i just. i think its very good and useful to be able to recognize that this show really can be hit or miss and you can be disappointed with it without having to devolve into critic and anti territory (i previously said i still thought it was a good episode, just not for me, but i have since changed my mind. i do think it was a bad episode actually. there were... crumbs? of it? that i thought were really good? but barely and even at this episode's best, NONE of it feels on par with the rest of the show. but again, expecting this show's best to be the STANDARD is not fair.)

i really don't know where i'm going with this i just want to point this out i guess bc i have never REALLY complained about this show before and i don't wanna come across as pessimistic or anti. but i don't think this was a good episode at all and that's alright

#mine #helluva boss #this makes no sense sorry #desire to express negative opinions vs fear of being grouped in with antis #i am still hbs biggest defender ofc i just have media literacy and critical analysis skills #yeah this episode sucked ass compared to the rest of the show that doesnt mean the show itself is bad or actively devolving #i DO really think the next episode will be better and i AM excited for more. i just wish a lot had been way different abt this ep #okay like. at risk of sounding really annoying. i am worried about criticizing this show because it gets SO MUCH criticism thats #really not fair at all and the last thing i WANT is to sound like that #esp bc so much of the fandom has a knee jerk defensive reaction to ANY criticism bc of. you know. our show getting so #much hate for stupid reasons (or no reason) #and i feel like maybe some other people might also be nervous to express negative opinions or disappointment #(me though? i am incapable of shutting the fuck up. so perhaps this might be some small reassurance to anyone else<3) #being in this fandom is like being in a war trench but someones gotta pull the pin #e: unhappy campers #helluva boss unhappy campers #nyx crit tag

they made Cleo a lesbian which is all I ever wanted but I can't even appreciate it because they handled it so fucking badly because this season's showrunners are allergic to having genuine authentic character moments that matter and I hate being upset but I AM

#seriously I started out with such low hopes then really liked the first couple eps so I rose my expectations and now the #latest episodes have been SO DISAPPOINTING. the last one was the absolute worst so far it was such a joke #i know this blog is for little kids shows but i dont have any friends and this is killing me and i just need to complain #'i hope they reboot your favorite series and make it woke and cringy': evil curse to bestow upon your enemies #like where the fuck did cleo liking frida even come from? literally out of nowhere. she hated frida and they had zero relationship growth #my heart belongs to cleo x joan but i would be open to this ship IF THEY ACTUALLY... HAD CHEMISTRY #it would have been so much better if they pushed the idea that cleo still kinda resented that frida was so popular #and her attraction stemmed from envy and other repressed emotions #also do you think a fucking teen girl from 2002 is going to decide woohoo im a homo without zero angst or guilt??? #FUCK THATTTTTT cleo absolutely called other girls dykes as an insult back then and now shes cool? fuck that fuck that fuck that #whatever. I hate living in 2023 #this is about clone high btw #topher was funny though I'll give it that
