#idk I think Jet gets a lot of hate because of his character design and his extremely flawed personality

[ssreeder]

Sorry for sending that Jet/Suki ask a while ago. Saw your reblog tags under some chiptrillino art and it sounded like you shipped them. We rarepairists get overeager sometimes. I’ll just leave you alone. 😅

OMG ANON NOOOOO!!!

Please don’t leave me alone!! I’m so sorry! I have been struggling to answer asks for about a week (I’m very behind but I love every single ask I get) & I did post my love for Suki x Jet (jetki? Jetski?? Idk anon idk haha) & I’ve gotten a few asks about my Jet / Suki tags - I have just been trying to find the best way to answer.

You’re not overeager at all, I’m just a slow responder & forgetful. I am sort of showing some of their compatibility in my fic LIAB, but I don’t know if they’ll end up together or just friends (we’ll see… jets gotta live)

But they are one of my favorite ships because I think they have a lot of potential (if you don’t like Jet I’d probably skip this ask)

Jet is passionate, a skilled fighter, cocky, charming, a leader, attractive, cares about people (come on now he took in a bunch of orphans and built them a treehouse I’m not arguing with anyone about this) and has a tragic backstory.

Suki is also passionate, a skilled fighter, charming, a capable and strong leader, cares about people, funny, and a beautiful girl.

I feel like Suki would have the ability to put Jet in his place and have all the skills to back herself up if he challenged her. They would compliment each other in their fighting styles as well as their banter because they both have a sharp tongue and a snarky sense of humor. They both can relate to the pressure of being in a leadership position and depending on how you see Sukis backstory they could also share the pain of losing loved ones.

I think out of everyone, Suki has the best chance at making Jet WANT to be a better person and she could give him a reason to actually fear disappointing another person. Jet would also possibly feel truly loved for the first time since losing his parents so young which might help breakdown his cold exterior and soften him a little.

I’ve always really liked them together, and I have a few fic ideas with them as one of the main ships (haha & one with Zuko third wheeling them with his silly gay self) and all sorts of ideas of how they could grow and what a future together would look like… it’s just hard for me to articulate why I like them together so I hope I did them justice by answering this ask lol.

I’m sorry if I seemed like I was ignoring you, it was never my intention to make you feel like I wasn’t interested in answering… I just don’t know how to make my thoughts make sense sometimes (ignore the fics I’m writing those don’t count) so I hope this made sense!!

#I’m so sorry anon!! #I mean I ADORE jets problematic ass #(I don’t dislike jetko I might be writing them a fic next if I can make up my stupid mind) #(fuck it I’ll do a poll & let others decide) #but I think Suki really has the chance to bring out the best in Jet #not that it’s her job #but I don’t think Jet would let her mother him either #he would support her and challenge her and train with her and push her to be a better version of herself #Suki would be his equal and partner #idk I think Jet gets a lot of hate because of his character design and his extremely flawed personality #but I see people make crazy excuses for characters all day so I think we can cut Jet some slack at time #listen anon I’ll rant to you more haha #you’ll just have to DM me #you got me posting my secrets out here on tumblr dot com haha #but again I’m sorry #oh & if anyone sends me Jet hate don’t waste your time #I don’t argue with strangers in the internet #thanks for listening #:) #ask #Jet #Suki #jetski? #haha fuck it idk their ship name #they are my actually one of my TWO rare pairs I adore #but I’m not telling my second heheheheeeee #hush pipp you no nothing

Top 5 Things I Disliked About RWBY Volume 6

(Top 5 Likes)

Well everyone… we made it. I started doing this Likes/Dislikes series on Monday, hoping to get it done before Saturday. The lesson here is to do better about pre-planning. Nevertheless… I did it. Volume 6. The most recent volume. My favorite volume of the entire series. I am so ready to gush about everything that I love about this! But we gotta do Dislikes first, and there are a few. Unlike the others though where nearly all of them are outdated or irrelevant, whether these will be improved on or not remains to be seen. So let’s not waste any time and get to the Top 5 Dislikes of RWBY Volume 6.

#5. Neo Fanservice

This is Number 5 because it more annoys me than anything else, but it doesn’t ruin anything. I’m not a fan of Neo. I find her to be a pointless addition who only exists because of her design. Which she does have a fantastic design, and her being mute is interesting. But otherwise? She was just… there. I didn’t care about the character then, and I don’t care now. I knew that she was gonna come back for CInder’s head, and this feels like the right time. But by the writers own admission, shes there just to flare up CIndr’s plotline. Which… why not use this to flesh out Cinder? Tell us her backstory or at least hint at it. Explain her motivations. Have us understand why she’s as horrible and power-hungry as she is. Explain what the heck happened when Ruby Silver Eyes blasted her in Volume 3 already!

 I know that they’re likely waiting for the right moment, but like with V4 it just feels like they’re dodging it and people are running out of patience. So I feel like there were other ways to make CInder’s plot more interesting. Throwing in Neo feels… well… I hate to say it, but lazy. Which I know isn’t true. Miles and Kerry are insanely hard-working and devoted to this show and away as far from lazy as it gets. I guess they just hit writers’ block? Knew that people wanted to see Neo again and felt like this was the right time? I don’t know. It wasn’t badly written or executed and sets the stage for the future. But still, I do wish that they took a more creative route and let us actually get to know Cinder when they had the chance. It’s disappointing.

Again, this is on here because I know I’m in the minority. A lot of people really like Neo and want to see more of her character. And I can’t lie, with Roman gone, there is some motivation for her and now there’s room to flesh her out. So while I don’t care about her, I am interested in seeing what they do with her. To see what she’s planning because there is now ay that she’s not going t give up on making CInder suffer. But I can absolutely see her still wanting payback on Ruby who was both involved with Roman’s death and knocked Neo off the plane and prevented her from helping him. We’ve got a classic revenge story in the making people. Let’s hope that it’s a good one.

#4. The Reaction to Jinn’s Story

This one is… complicated. Why? Because I don’t hate this. At all. You might think that I’m about to get mad that RWBYQ were all angry at Oz. But… no, I’m not. I fully sympathize with Oz. I don’t think that he’s this horrible monster who did all that he did because he’s horrible. Oz is just a man. A man who has been through so much pain for so long, all because he tried to do the right thing and be with his wife again. He has so much guilt and self-loathing and I just feel terrible for him and all that he’s been through. But it doesn’t change the fact that he’s lied and used people, even if it was because he had to. People got hurt. People have died. All because of him and his cause. He isn’t as horrible as Salem or the Gods, but RWBYQ has every right to be angry at him for what, in their eyes, is leading them on a suicide mission. So no, I don’t have a problem with their reactions.

My problem is that they all have the same reaction.

There is no diversity in how they all take this, nor with JNR. I guess that Jaune, Yang, and Qrow took it worst than everyone else, but all of their reactions are pretty much being angry at Oz and feeling hopeless. The only person who keeps nay sense is Maria because this doesn’t personally affect her, but still. It’s boring to watch and offers no true exploration into the characters’ feelings outside hopelessness. We don’t see them talk about the story or try to debate about it. Whether Oz can ever be trusted again or not. Whether they feel like there are some legit points both for and against Oz. They don’t talk about finding out the origin of the world or about Salem. There was so much room for so much perspective and maybe V7 will go into that. But here? It just feels like a wasted opportunity.

IDK. I still enjoy the plot and it adds a lot of moral conflicts. Oz was wrong, but he also had his reasons. There is no right or wrong answer I don’t think to any of Ozpin’s choices. He’s trying to do the right thing, and that’s not always the best thing or even the moral thing. It’s complex stuff that can cause a lot of complex emotions. But it feels like it’s all meant to say that Oz was bad and there is no resolution or discussion about it by the end outside Oz helping Oscar land the jet. Can V7 fix that? Maybe, especially since the trailer hinted at the right thing vs best thing dilemma. But as far as this volume goes, it was good, but could have been better.

#3. Caroline Cordovin

Cordovin sucks. Big time. I admit she was amusing in her debut episode, but that was it. Cordo os, overall, just a stingy and arrogant old woman. She isn’t funny. She isn’t interesting. She pretty much exists to be another ‘Atlas people suck’ character, especially with her remark at Blake. Now I know that she was meant to be a minor antagonist, and that’s fine. But she went overboard and got the mech out when there were probably better ways of dealing with the heist peacefully. In fairness to her, the good guys can’t explain why they need to go to Atlas so I don’t blame her for trying to stop them. But with a huge-sized mech meant to deal with large Grimm? Really?

But really, none of this would have mattered to me… if it weren’t for the ending. Cordovin’s shift is out of nowhere. She has no epiphany. She never really accepts that this is her fault. We never see her viewpoint shift. And as such, her turn was utterly unprovoked. But most of all… she gets away with it. She gets away with endangering Argu. She gets away with her reckless endangerment. She gets away with escalating the situation unecesarially. She’s going to fudge her report, so Atlas won’t ever know about it.  That is what I hate the most, she didn’t get punished for her actions whatsoever.

Still, unlike Cardin, she had a purpose and unlike him and the Fennec Twins, she wasn’t around for very long. As such, she isn’t the worst villain. But unless it’s to show that she’s been stripped of her rank, I don’t really ever want to see or hear from her again… her and Maria’s bickering was funny though. I’ll give them that.

#2. Lack of Oscar Development

I talked about this in V4, but this was the boiling point for people I think. Oscar is, sadly, underdeveloped. V4 had to rush through his intro and getting him to Mistral, which is a consequence of the separate plotline. V5 was better as he gelled well with the cast, got some training and learned to sue his AUra, and we learned a bit more about how his and Oz’s bonding worked. It’s still rushed, but hey unlike Ruby he got an actual payoff. Plus there’s an emphasis that he made a choice to be there both in his talk with Ruby and when he was faced with Hazel. It’s not a lot, but better than V4 and again, we had a payoff that felt earned,

V6 though… not so much. We see Oscar struggling with keeping control and his growing fear of not being the same after the merger is complete. It’ super understandable and when he nears having a panic attack in Chapter 4, you really feel for him. They do a very good job of getting you to feel bad for this kid, especially in CHapter 8 when Jaune loses it and slams him into the wall out of anger at Ozpin. He snaps out of it and is immediately remorseful, but it was still utterly wrong to do that to Oscar. Qrow was also pretty horrible, but I’ll get to that later. Point is, this kid is scared, being unfairly punished for things that he didn’t do, and is probably about to have an identity crisis. So him going missing? It makes perfect sense.

But there lies the issue. He goes missing… and when we see him again, that’s the end of his arc. We don’t see him sort through his emotions. We don’t see him talk with anyone or with Oz. I’m glad that Oscar made his choice to stay committed and I love his new look. But we don’t get to experience it with him. He feels alienated from the main cast and I think that’s because we have so many characters. Some are gonna have to be shafted, but Oscar had an on-going arc and shouldn’t have been. It’s the same thing with Grif in RvB17, where his character arc was ongoing but got shafted due to both episode count and character amount. But with Oscar, it’s even worse as he’s still fairly new and is Oz’s host. He should be more important than he is. Not more than RWBY, ut he’s pretty much just a tagalong out of there because he has Oz in his brain. Not because of his own character.

This has been a pretty vocal complaint. I’m hoping that CRWBY is going to try more in V7. Maybe have Oscar enroll at Atlas or something and get some Huntsman training. I’m not sure what they can do, but I think it’s time that they do at least something. Because next to Nora, Oscar is the most under-developed character, and he really should not be. 

But hey, at least I still liked Oscar during the volume. Unlike a certain little birdie... on that note!

#1. Qrow’s Development

I did not like Qrow in this volume. At all. Now his attitude after the Oz reveal? Understandable. I think that Qrow is gonna be what Blake was to me in V4. Me hating how the character acted, but when I go back I’ll feel better about it since they’ll bounce back now that they’re past the lowest point. And to be fair in the final few episodes, Qrow got better and I felt more sympathetic when he was clearly having a Summer flashback. Plus, again, I get it. He trusted Oz for so long and found out that he was lied to all along. Everything that he worked for? Amounted to nothing. Any worth that it gave him after being marked as unlucky? That amounted to nothing. Him turning to drink himself stupid? Makes sense and it was good to finally delve into the negative parts of his drinking. Everything with Qrow makes sense.

The problem is very simple. It’ all due to one scene. Had they cut this out, I would be able to look past it. What scene is that?

“Don’t lie to him Ruby, We’re better than that.”

That killed any chance of me sympathizing with Qrow that the volume had. Ruby is trying to comfort Oscar, telling him that he isn’t just some vessel for Ozpin. I know that Qrow was upset. I mean he outright punched Oscar, which yeah it was aimed at Oz, but that also didn’t help. But that just felt unnecessarily cruel. Worst? He never apologizes for it like Jaune did with how he acted. Qrow is just overall useless, drinking himself stupid in Brunswick and just angrily giving up after Cordo refused them entry. Again, I get why. But I just cannot feel bad for him when he’s being such a downer and an asshole. Not even Ruby calling him out did anything until he began to flip out when the plan started to not go according to plan. Which by then… it felt too little, too late.

I don’t know. It’s like I said, I get it. But anytime that Qrow was on screen, it brought things down for me. I think that maybe they went a little too far with it, especially with the jab at Oscar. I’m glad that he’s on the right path now, and I assume that V7 will help make me like him again. But for now? I really did not like it, and it is my least favorite thing about V6.

And with that, the Dislikes posts are all done! Yay! One more post to go: the Likes post!  I hope that you all enjoyed this post, and thank you for reading~!

Transformers Cyberverse

Hey guys im watching the new transformers cartoon and there’s a LOT of negativity im about to spit out. I’m six episodes in and am feeling a level of frustration and dislike I haven’t felt about a show in a very long time. I do NOT like this show. It is bad. I’m not going to go into detail here, its all under the cut. 

Okay so lets start with the art style. This is probably the most subjective of my issues with this fucking show, I do not particularly enjoy this ‘super brightly colored 3D’ animation. Its just lame. It looks ugly. It looks cheap. The designs are mediocre and just a hodgepodge of previous iterations. They do nothing interesting, nothing fun, nothing creative. There’s a lot of ‘copy/paste’ going on among the unnamed characters. I’m watching a scene and like two identical red bots show up back to back that are supposed to be different bots but... they looked IDENTICAL. That’s just lazy. If there’s one thing that NONE of the shows, aside from G1, managed to do, it was make everyone and everything unique in some way. They’re CLEARLY pulling from the comics, and like.... no ones supposed to look/sound/be the same, except for when its plot relevant. Like that one bot that modeled themselves to look like optimus prime, and the one that sounds EXACTLY like Megatron, or the seekers that were all retrofitted to look like one another. What the fuck is up with this homogeneous garbage? And THEN there’s a scene where MEgatron is preaching to a crowd and there’s like, twenty bots in there. There’s all this empty space. The backgrounds are less bright and interesting to look at than the characters, so when there’s all this empty space and all you can look at is the backgrounds and the backgrounds suck? God. 

Next is the voice acting and the writing. Its bad. You can tell that A) none of the voice actors are in the same room bouncing off of one another, that’s for sure. That’s fine sometimes though. It works. It doesn’t work here. The dialogue is stilted and boring. The writing is uninspired. In the first episode Windblade and Bumblebee, both characters we don’t know, have some of their first dialogue together. Windblade asks “Bee what are you doing here” and Bee does some voice-box shenanigans (he can’t speak AGAIN, but whatever) and says “What are YOU doing here,” and Windblade’s response, verbatim is “The same thing you are: looking for the allspark.”  What fucking garbage is that? That’s objectively bad writing. There are scenes where the actors deliver their lines like they’re reading from the script right in front of them, did it in one take, and then didn’t bother trying anything else. 

And then we’ve got optimus and megatron, who sound like people are doing impressions of Peter Cullen and Frank Welker doing their voices, but are not good at impressions OR acting. And you know who they got to play two of the most iconic transformers characters in existence? Nobodies. Optimus’ voice actor has done NOTHING else, and megatron’s va is most known for playing pokemon characters and a bunch of miscellaneous yugioh/anime dub characters, and we ALL know how good those usually are. To be fair he also did Casey Jones from the TMNT show before TMNT 2012, and i never watched that so idk how good he is here, but his megatron is lame. Bumblebee, main character, has done nothing before this. Windblade, main character, has done nothing before this.  I don’t have ANY problems with new talent getting out there, but these are rookies and it SHOWS. 

Then there’s the actual plots. Well, guess what, the plots suck. Bumblebee and Windblade are wandering around on Earth cuz the allspark is here (wow that’s original) and BUmblee can’t speak (wow that’s original) and Bumblebee has amnesia (wow THAT”S ORIGINAL). So the last few episodes have been WIndblade using her Cityspeaker powers to link with Bumblebee’s mind and try and get him to remember where the Ark (lost Autobot spaceship with everyone on board in stasis, wow that’s original) is, so they can find Optimus Prime (wow that’s original), while avoiding the Seekers that apparently own Earth or whatever. And then, in episode 8, they give us a serious triple whammy of stupid. First, they let Bumblebee connect to his own memories so that he can work on them. HOW CAN HE DO THAT??? The whole point was that Windblade has special powers. Guess that doesn’t matter. Second, they introduce Blurr, give us three or four minutes of screentime, and then kill him off, like we’re supposed to care. All he’s done is be an asshole this hole time. Third, they introduce a rust virus consuming planets and apparently it consumes Velocitron. Why is this not a big deal? Why doesn’t everyone know about this? How does it work? Does it matter? You can’t just introduce a virus that can destroy worlds in hours and kills people almost instantly, with no repercussions. This better matter in the future. Its just bad and dumb. 

How can your seventh episode be a filler episode? We learn nothing about the characters, we just learn that A) Starscream’s always been an asshole and a thug, and B) some sport called Cube that’s poorly explained. What’s the point? We learn how Bee and Windblade become friends, I guess? And there’s this godawful line where Bee says “Man, Starscream’s a jerk. Those dang jets.” And then looks at WIndblade, who is a jet, and says “Wow, uh... you are a jet. Oops.” Like, pointing out that what he said was gross is cool and all, but couldn’t that have just been a glance, a quirked eyebrow from Windblade, and a wince from bumblebee. That would have been more amusing. 

Don’t get me started on the Megatron origin episode. We go from learning he was a hero because he was a gladiator, to thinking he’s a warmonger, to thinking he’s a monster in the span of about five minutes of screen time. You can’t just go “Megatron was a hero” without showing that somehow, then saying “No actually he was a brute” immediately after WITHOUT SHOWING ANYTHING? There’s this super brutal thing that happens off screen where Megatron tears out Bumblebee’s voice box so he can’t tell anyone his plans, and that’s supposed to matter somehow, like its not enough that he started a war for power and wants to create a planet of decepticons, he also hurt our friend bumblebee!!! But wait, we don’t care, because his damaged voice box doesn’t stop him from communicating, and the information can be relayed immediately by WIndblade’s special powers. So nothing matters here! 

That’s my biggest take away. Nothing matters. This show isn’t going to try and be pretty and cool with its visuals. Its not going to try and put in great performances by a crew of new voice talent. Its not going to try and tell a more nuanced version of the Transformers Lore that we’ve never seen outside of the comics. It doesn’t even matter that its on Earth because the first eight episodes have just been windblade and bee flying around in a stolen space ship. 

It doesn’t matter. Its empty and boring and i hate that it pisses me off this much, but as a fan of the story, as someone who wants to see new stories, it bothers me when stuff just gets rehashed, retold, and ‘reinvented’ into new forms of mediocre.
