#imagine the show characterization

[firethekitty]

very unpopular trigun fandom opinion but. i really Don’t like when people write/draw wolfwood as being genuinely religious. like wearing rosary and praying every night and saying grace before eating and shit. HE SHOOTS PEOPLE AND KILLS THEM and smokes and drinks and curses and wears his collar as wide open as possible and is a Literal Hitman who was kidnapped by a religious cult as a child. do you guys sincerely believe he’s a good christian boy or something

#like he has an Extremely complicated relationship with religion #we do see him turn to god multiple times in trimax so i think he does believe in god to an extent #and of course the official cross choker art #but. that’s pretty much as far as his faith goes. and i feel like. idk the Point of his character is a walking contradiction #he’s a ‘priest’ but he wears his collar open to show off his chest and yknow Literally Kills People #and it’s hard to imagine he would think of religion as anything but both a mental and literal physical burden on him #but he also does manage to find his own kind of ‘religion’ in both vash and the orphanage. similar to how vash doesn’t believe in god but #more so in humans and their ability to do good. well anyway #talking #trigun #trimax #(disclaimer i have not watched tri98 so i’m saying all this in terms of trimax characterization)

#welcome home #sally starlet #caption is a half joke. #NO JOKE SHES NOW ONE OF MY TOP FAVE WELCOME HOMERS RIGHT NOW. RIGHT BESIDE EDDIE #her characterization so far has been so intriguing. something tells me that she's not as oblivious as she seems #like.... shes the type to show her care in her own way #can seem bombastic and has a tendency to play with people that she can easily command #also a bit rude but like hey! this is sally! she's being silly #I hope she gets worse like eddie and his whole armchair pea breakdown so she can become even more of my top fave #and I think its funny how shes all sweet on the gals and standoffish towards the guys. super awesome. I love you sally #also me slightly projecting but imagine if she's written to be a character that can be seen as an npd haver #would make her character much more hitting for me. in my opinion.

just gonna go ahead and say this in advance—

if Riz does indeed come out in junior year, and he says, “I’m ace” or “I’m asexual” when referring specifically to his lack of romantic attraction, aromantic people are allowed to be upset about it.

#because yes of course some people irl say ace to mean both bc that’s how they personally identify #but in fictional media the distinction is necessary. especially with how few canonically aromantic characters even exist in ANY mainstream/ #popular media. #I assure you I’m not invalidating anyone who is ace and they mean that to include lack of romantic attraction. #But to look at this from a MEDIA PERSPECTIVE its irresponsible to do this w/out clarification that they also know the word aromantic exists #because otherwise that’s just a conflation of asexual and aromantic without any nuance #and an erasure of aromantic people who are not asexual. #Plus—name a single fucking time a character in mainstream/popular media has said the word aromantic. #Because I can name several instances where they say asexual. But I can’t think of ONE where they say aro or aromantic. #(Maybe that Isaac kid does in season 2 of Heartstopper? But I haven’t seen it so I’m not 100% sure.) #anyways. #the way this fucking fandom—and ANY fandom with a canon aro character—discusses the aromantic spectrum #is blatantly just to remove their own personal guilt for shipping that character with other characters and erasing their orientation. #because yes aromanticism IS a spectrum!! But when people talk about fabriz and say ‘he can still be ace!’ (Which is aro erasure) or #‘he can still be aro!’ They never SHOW riz still being aro or having any kind of complex relationship with romance. #I’m angry and I’m allowed to be. #I get that a ship you liked may be hard to let go of or something #But I’d be much less mad if all the fabriz fans said ‘yeah I know Riz is aro in canon and he and Fabian would never get together. #I just like to imagine it sometimes in fiction/fanon!’ Then that would be a WHOLE different conversation #Because then they’d at least be acknowledging that riz doesn’t feel romance in canon. That fabriz is something that actively #Goes against the canon characterization of one of those characters—and that’s fine. Just fucking ACKNOWLEDGE IT. #But most of these people either WANT fabriz to be canon/believe it WILL BE canon #OR I guess feel uncomfortable confronting the fact that they ARE erasing riz’s aromanticism so they don’t even acknowledge it at all. #fhjy #fantasy high #d20 #dimension 20 #riz gukgak #aromantic riz gukgak #fhsy

I’m legally obligated to ask about loneliness into loneliness if you post any time of ask aka FACE SMUSHED AGAINST GLASS.

OF COUUUUUURSE

here's a clip from loneliness into loneliness, the ted lasso fic about dani and jamie both being out injured at the same time, staying together at dani's house, and starting a queerplatonic relationship - figuring out what that means, what they want it to mean, how to navigate something neither of them have a roadmap for.

this is from the night where dani is, to put it succinctly, the big spoon for the first time, bc they started sleeping in the same bed so that jamie could help keep him from rolling onto his bad shoulder. now that he's healed enough to have his shoulder brace off, and has noticed jamie is having troubled sleep the last few nights, dani has offered to hold him tonight and see if that helps him sleep. it's also the first time we get into the thing with one of them putting a hand beneath the other's shirt, direct skin contact, etc, which ends up being. A Thing. this scene could be subtitled 'two people try to have a conversation where nobody says a full sentence the entire time and they both want the same thing that they don't have any language for or idea how to talk about'. it's a bit long, so, under the cut it goes:

When Dani’s hand slips under Jamie’s shirt, pressing against his side just above his hip, the feeling of skin against bare skin is electrifying. He twitches, the muscles under the point of contact giving a small, instinctive spasm. It’s something like a flinch and he feels Dani go still.

“Sorry,” Dani murmurs. He starts to pull away, lifting his hand from Jamie’s side while the rest of his body tenses like he’s getting ready to move. “I should have asked before I-”

“No,” Jamie says. He barely breathes it, really, lower than a whisper. Just as quickly as he’d interrupted Dani’s self-rebuke, he reaches down to grab the retreating hand and keep it there, gripping Dani’s wrist gently but firmly. “No, it’s…” He swallows hard. There’s something strange and uncertain fluttering in his chest, something anxious but hopeful at the same time. “It’s okay. I… It’s fine. I mean, are you… What do you…” What do you want? seems accusatory, What are you looking for with this? just sounds weird. Jamie can’t figure out how to ask, what he’s even trying to ask.

“Nothing. Just this. Just…” Dani’s fingers flex a little where their hands are hovering in an awkward tangle, still caught under the fabric of Jamie’s shirt. “I’m not trying to… Just to… When you helped with my shoulder, it was- was nice. That’s all.” He doesn’t seem to have the words for what he’s trying to say and there’s more hesitation now. His voice sounds embarrassed and it has a nervous edge, and there’s a tension at the grip Jamie has on his wrist like he’s going to pull back again.

“That’s okay,” is what Jamie settles on saying. “I don’t mind. That’s…” He swallows hard, thinking about the press of skin against skin, the warmth of being touched so directly and unflinchingly. The thought of being touched like that, just for the sake of it, the way he had touched Dani when he’d massaged his shoulder after physical therapy, just touch without the expectation of it leading to anything, something more following, is… Well, Dani had been right about that. “That’s nice, actually. I think. That’s- yeah. That’s okay.”

Even after he says it, Jamie waits for a long, still moment before releasing his grip on Dani’s wrist. He hopes he didn’t fuck things up somehow, that his reaction hadn’t made it so that Dani didn’t want to touch him anymore. The more he thinks about it, the more Jamie wants him to do it. His side aches, feeling oddly cold and prickly.

There’s a hovering pause where Dani’s hand stays in place, not quite resting against Jamie but not pulling away either, still there tucked beneath his shirt. There’s barely a centimetre between them and it feels like forever that it stays that way. The longer it goes on for, the more Jamie feels cold and exposed and small, and then everything changes.

Then Dani’s hand moves, settling on Jamie’s side. He leaves it there, his thumb moving in slow strokes over the ridge of bone at the bottom of Jamie’s ribcage. There are callouses on his palm that Jamie can feel, slightly rough against his skin. It’s beyond frightening but he doesn’t want it to stop. The chill is gone, and he feels grounded, anchored to this place and this time, here in this bed. It’s like he’s pinned there, but without the threat that word seems to imply - not pinned. Held. And honestly, Jamie thinks that he might die if it stopped, if that gentle touch was gone and he was left to lay here, cold enough to shiver without it. It doesn’t leave. It stays, pressing a little harder after a while, like the way that Jamie has relaxed and leaned back into Dani’s chest, not flinching again since that first time, has given him permission to settle in too.

#this is one of those moments i am the LEAST confident with my characterization and i hope it doesn't show rip #gav gab #gav answers #jamietarttdodododododo #fic: loneliness into loneliness #me writing this fic like we WILL be spending a lot of time thinking about and dealing with Touch and Touching Someone and Being Touched #and direct skin contact has become something of an undercurrent theme in particular #it's in the scene on the couch too #which is after this. this is the first time they try anything like this deliberately #except for the shoulder massage bit which is where dani got the idea #just had this mental image early on writing this of just #them sleeping with dani's arm around jamie #hand on his side under his shirt #and that was the most like #comfortingly intimate mental image imaginable somehow #and i was like #well now that's gotta go in there

Did they colorblind cast the cast? I know some shows do that to give everyone an equal chance and so end up with a predictably colorblind first season because the writers literally don't know what race the characters will be until the second season. I don't know if that's a thing that happens to animated shows too.

I think that's highly unlikely for MAWS. The concept art for the pitch shows Lois as Asian and Jimmy as Black that early on. My educated guess is that they looked at Superman: American Alien, which also features an Asian Lois and Black Jimmy. Though I wouldn't be surprised if they had CW Supergirl's Jimmy Olsen in mind as well since that interpretation is more mainstream.

Lois is Korean like her voice actress, Alice Lee. Though her dad is voiced by Joel de la Fuente, a Filipino actor. I don't know if that means his character is also Filipino or if it's just monolithic casting at work. Jimmy's voice actor (Ishmel Sahid) is Black as well.

So in that regard I don't think they colorblind cast the characters. I mean, it didn't take CW Supergirl 2 seasons to acknowledge Jimmy's Blackness :/

#askjesncin #imagine getting outdone by a CW show #MAWS was a 2 season order btw so they knew how many eps they were getting #it's very unlikely that they're going to change their approach with the near universal praise s1 got #also can we not treat these characters as if white is the default and “poc characterization” is unlockable DLC you get in s2 #just let maws take the L on this one yall #jesncin talks maws

shadow raced against the clock in a wet and eerie jungle (scared) to save somebody he didn't even know well just because he was reminded of maria's values that mirror his own (that he was forced to forget)

And you're telling me that he doesn't have any friends? That he doesn't care about people?

#I wish an hd remake of sa2 existed just because the cutscenes associated with white jungle would be amazing #white jungle shows an important aspect in shadow's characterization #He begins to break from the revenge mimdset that he was brainscrambled to follow #him saying he's not scared but remarking on how dangerous and terrifying his situation and environment is #After being reminded of somebody he'd lost so violently #I can imagine the feeling you get when you're completely filled with adrenaline #only being able to see whats right in front of you. cant feel how fast your legs are moving but youre definitely running #Sure he had to save the chaos emeralds too. But his main priority was rouge. #IM JUST MUSING. I GO BUCKWILD WHEN I THINK OF SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG AND HOW MUCH HE CARES ALRIGHT

I think it's interesting that in Lebanon when John tells Sam that he's really sorry and that he knows he screwed up a lot with him, this is the John who is still estranged from Sam at Stanford, like even at that time John knew that he messed up but he never had the courage to reach out to Stanford Sam and say he's sorry :((( and/or he saw late seasons Sam's sad droopy browbeaten vibes and thought 'dang I messed this kid up...'

#q #like if i was john and i knew early seasons sam as being fiery and belligerent towards me and then i jumped to late seasons sam #who looks way more teary eyed and docile and looks like he's been through way too much #i would start spiralling... and i would start missing the kid who always had something snarky to say to me... #anyway so many sam and john thoughts lately loll #it's bc i've been reading this AU that has rlly good sam and john scenes that make me cry #like it shows how john is abusive but the characterization is so good and the dynamic with sam is just how i would imagine it #bro i want a prequel tv series so bad... like one that ends with the stanford fight #but i don't want it to have modern aesthetics i want it to look like early seasons... #whatever i'll just read the journal or the spn books when i have time #lebanon

By the way Trish was hoping the entire time to hear some sort of comfort from Bruno and felt upset by his cold and detached demeanor because he's the only person who served as some sort of familial figure and offered her any amount kindness or protection And he did want to say those things to her and when he finally DID offer words of comfort it wasn't ACTUALLY Trish and he only Thought it was Trish and she never got to hear him say those things to her and he has no idea he never got to tell her. Just so you know

#jjba #txt #When i was rewatching Vento Aureo and realized this it made my stomach drop #So you will have to know too #im so normal about this im so normal #Listen i hate mommy bruno characterization like i really really do but #Not only does this disprove it (He shows a cold demeanor to the gang members to try and avoid attachment and provide stability in times of #emotional desperation and not some sort of motherly figure like the fandom tries to say he is instead of a MAFIA GANG LEADER) #I also do think the one familial sort of attachment present is him and Trish. This is not the mom thing #Its just quite literally she has no one else to rely on. The elevator scene she was so scared of meeting a father who's intentions she does #t even know And Bruno is so young but he is the only adult figure she can rely on there. Perhaps its not parental but familial in other way #Either way hes the only person that can support her in that situation and shes frustrated that hes acting cold #But the thing is he has to act cold because he has to keep it together and i bet he didnt want her to become attached to him at first in th #t way PROBABLY mirroring his childhood as well he wanted to keep her away from this sort of lifestyle and not have her be associated with #him or the gang so that she could live a safe life #But i imagine he realized at some point that she has no one else BUT WHEN HE FINALLY TOLD 'HER' THINGS TO MAKE HER FEEL BETTER #IT WASN'T HER HE THOUGHT IT WAS BUT IT WASN'T AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN #This connection never got to grow They don't know this about the other. He never got to say these things and she never got to either #im so sad Im so sad #So like i said this is the only familial thing I think Bruno has going on. #I see Bruno as more of a cool uncle or brother though. I cant see him as a parent. He is so young. Everyone forgets this #But either way he would be the only caretaker that she has. But they didnt get to have that chance #Its just heartbreaking #Im so sad #YOUVE HAD NOTHING BUT HORRIBLE THINGS HAPPEN TO YOU. BUT YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO ENJOY A NEW LIFE. HEAD IN HANDS

this is probably an unpopular opinion but i just don’t understand the appeal of AUs where the setting is something completely irrelevant to the original story. i feel like the characters’ experiences, or at least their circumstances, are so essential to their personalities and decision-making and, assuming romance is relevant, the reasons that they fall in love. for these AUs to work, the inherent quirks of the character(s) have to be so strong that they are recognizable in an entirely new context, but imo this is so much rarer than ao3 would have you believe.

#this was on my mind tn as i was trying to find yuri on ice fics #especially for smth like a 12 episode anime #are victor and yuri REALLY that strongly characterized to where those traits transcend the show’s setting? i don’t rly think so…. #and so i often feel that in these AUs #we have two characters loosely based on and looking like two other characters in a popular piece of media #but to me that just becomes a limiting factor in smth that might as well be a piece of original writing #idk #maybe im too picky and i understand the urge to see your favs in every context imaginable #but sometimes your favs are your favs BECAUSE of that context #and what they go through #lily posts #fanfiction #meta

got stoned and rewatched mother [ouat 4x21] again and holy shit that scene when regina drinks the potion to become barren is fucking painful. i don't even have words to describe this right now other than i love regina mills so much and she deserves the fucking world. this poor woman went through so much and i think that particular trauma isn't talked about nearly enough. it also, at least to me, adds even more depth to her relationship with henry than we had before this, because we always knew regina never wanted to be like cora with henry and actively fought against that but then we see even before she had a child of her own regina wanted to protect anyone she'd love from cora at all costs - even if it meant her own chance at happiness. god i wish adam and eddy treated their characters with care and emotion and depth like they deserved instead of making major character points that explain so much of their actions and motivations into throwaway b-plots for one episode a season.

#regina mills #once upon a time #ouat #cora mills #henry mills #i love this show with my whole heart but what the fuck were they ever doing #there is so much wasted potential in all of their characters #i could ramble for ages about emma swan #do not even get me started on regina #i think i understand that woman's psychology better than i do my own #she is my poor little meow meow #imagine of a&e cared about characterization over pushing toxic straight relationships #maybe we would've actually gotten swanqueen #cj rambles #cjwritesouat

[unofficialadamtaurus]

"Yang's "you never gave up on people, even when they hurt you" sounding like something that would be said about Sun vs. Blake getting hurt by Adam and, in fact, giving up on him." anon..

I literally thought about this the entire time... unfortunately... like. Blake wincing at a comment Weiss made. that line just now in todays episode..

THERES SO MANY MOMENTS WHERE I THOUGHT ABOUT ADAM THIS VOLUME SO FAR... I was live blogging the last episode and I posted this few aka Weiss comment I was talking about:

" “things have to die someday, right?” Weiss says. WHY DID BLAKE WINCE AT THAT. is there something you want to share with the class "

like... girl you are thinking about something. you have to be. like clearly obviously the event in v6 is still bothering her and still hasn't left her mind.

that's clear because they've only talked about him like. once. not even directly. they don't talk about him directly ever. in the scene where they were talking about him in v7...

whole conversation:

Yang: He didn't have a lot of good options. (abt ironwood ig?) Blake: I'm not sure there are many good options left for any of us, anymore. Keeping secrets, *taking lives? It makes you wonder how far we're going to have to go to keep doing.. the right thing.. ... Yang: Blake. *We did.. what we had to do. ... Blake: *I know.. But next time, I want to make sure.. we don't have to. And I can tell you, ambushing a huntress who's just trying to help isn't an option I'm thrilled about choosing. Yang: Then maybe we shouldn't.

*highlighted parts are about Adam (NOT DIRECTLY, but they ARE talking about him) proof:

from the writers documentary. (it's an image.. should show)

Are they still hinting at how this still bothers Blake in this volume?? Since they've done it in v7 or is that out the window? Things still haven't gotten better in regards to what Blake was worried about in this original scene. in fact they've gotten worse (we know).. but she isn't talking about it. NONE of them are even talking about it..

So many people have died!! yet the last few episodes all of the characters are like "oh, another time." and "i don't wanna talk about this right now." GIRL YOU HAVE EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF THE MINUTE OF THE DAY TO TALK ABOUT THIS.

All of them are worried about the same shit.. and don't want to do their worst but ohhh that cannot be avoided because they're not even speaking about it at all.

they're all insane /lh

Tbh I haven't really gotten Adam vibes from anything this season other than the hilarious hypocrisy of Yang's line, but I also haven't been looking for them. Didn't notice Blake's wince at that line either. Maybe it's about Adam? But with how he is apparently The Character Who Shall Not Be Named now, I don't see them doing much with him and particular his relationship with Blake, so who even knows what Blake was thinking about in that moment.

Unless you count Blake's uncharacteristic shyness, meekness, and fear of everything around her as Trauma about Adam that's only resurfaced after *checks notes* an indeterminate amount of time after killing him with her own hands.

#nolanporfirio #unofficial adam answers #rwby spoilers #long post #people dying on the hill that blake leaving adam in the black trailer wasn't 'giving up on him' is so funny to me btw #like buddy she absolutely gave up on him and that's okay. sometimes you gotta give up on people to heal. #sometimes this show's writing is just bad. #yes trauma is complicated and i don't doubt that she could experience relapses even after he's dead #but these aren't relapses. it's her whole character. the show never explains why her fire from the early volumes - #when leaving adam was a RECENT development for her - #vanishes without a trace after V5 #if they just had a fkn CONVERSATION about her trauma but noooo we'll leave it to headcanon #because all great and engaging and totally not contradictory characterization comes from leaving it all to headcanon /s #imagine a blake whose trauma re: adam is properly fleshed out and explored #as seriously as jaune's trauma from pyrrha's death and murdering penny #hey weird that jaune keeps coming u -

[thesparrow1996]

the inner workings of rooster teeth baffle me so much. part two of the rwby justice league crossover movie is supposed to take place after v9 with characterization specifically influenced from the insane events of v9. what is the purpose of that. why do they put this strange level of effort into these things why are they pretending to be in continuity post the vague magic school era of rwby that anyone that didn’t know the show would understand. what is gained from these things existing in the first place

#they made a movie that takes place in between 9 and 10 but it has nothing to do with the show #but it includes characterization that differs wildly between parts one and two due to insane rwby lore dump heavy plot reasons #that no one watching this is going to care about #actually who is even watching this i can’t imagine they’re getting dc fans interested in it is it just desperate rwby people #who else would even care. i don’t even care they are very bad movies why is this what they’re spending time on why won’t whoever is in #charge of rwby now please renew rwby i’m so sad
