#in the non derogatory way LMAO

[housewife-hannibal]

Been looking at Hannibal’s interior (as one does) and I literally cannot figure out what this man’s favorite color is?? Now I’m spiralling though because is it normal to not have a FAVORITE color? Like you own most things in said color? Or is this what truly, definitely, once and for all proves that Hannibal Lecter is a psychopath. It’s because he doesn’t have a favorite color. Or am I the psychopath in this situation? I want any and everything to be my favorite color (green).

His house is so many mixes of reds, blues, browns, even some oranges and greens. Also his overall interior aesthetic is really odd. Not in a bad way though, at least in my opinion. I’ve seen some call it ugly, but that’s besides the point. He has a lot of very vintage-y feel, almost grandmacore furniture. But the decor (wall hangings, lamps, etc) feel very rustic? I think would be the word? He literally has a table with deer hooves for legs I’m pretty sure. Or maybe that was a dream. ANYWAY. Very all over the place aesthetic, it’s driving me mad.

I don’t know. Maybe I’ve come to the conclusion that I shouldn’t be this curious as to what Hannibal’s favorite color is. But now it’s killing me from the inside out.

I am under the assumption that his favorite color is blue. Almost his entire bedroom is blue, the trim(?) in many of the rooms is the same blue, as well as the wallls in his dining room, and lastly a lot of his smaller decorations like throw pillows and such are blue.

Also, I’m Pretty Sure a majority of his suits are blue. The only thing that deters me is his most iconic suit (in my opinion) is red. It’s the one that both Bryan Fuller and Mads have a replica of. And yk, corny horror character obviously loves red because it’s the color of blood! But I doubt that’s an actual factor. Maybe Hannibal just wore red on his murderous days because he didn’t want to get his beloved blue suits covered in blood.

This post was longer than intended..

#nbc hannibal #hannibal #just want to clarify im not using the term psychopath in a derogatory way #using it in the way the show uses it #in the non derogatory way LMAO #sensitive psychopath #so anyway yeah what the HELL is Hannibal’s favorite color #and no #him NOT CARING about color is not an option #that man is as theatrical as it gets #there’s no way he doesn’t think about what color he wears or whatever else #you’d never catch him mismatching that’s for sure #although perhaps he is just educated on color theory.. #which in that case he doesn’t really need to CARE about it because he KNOWS about it #oh god im spiralling again #im gonna stop now #you are obsessed (with Hannibal’s favorite color) #i’m intrigued #obsessively

number one thing that i hate translating tagalog to english is that i cant show the intricacies in speech.

like. the word tomboy. it means a WHOLE OTHER THING IN TAGALOG. i've apparently been called a lesbian almost my entire life and i didn't know. that or my mom used the english meaning in context rather than tagalog when i was a kid then used the tagalog meaning when i got older.

i love intricacies in language, dont you?

#crow talks #yk what even more funny? my mom and dad also use spanish words instead of tagalog sometimes. #some tagalog words ARE taken from spanish but they legit will just use a spanish word rather than the tagalog one that's RIGHT THERE. #they'll use the word then me and my siblings r like “huh??” and then they use the tagalog word. MOTHER FATHER JUST USE THE WORD. #also yeah im ignoring the fact my mom called me gay lmao. #it's a word filipino people use for lesbians. so. a ton of people use it in a derogatory way. #my cousin uses it in a non derogatory way bc they dont wanna use lesbian in public w probably homophobes around. #also my aunt. she's literally gay. so. yeahhh. #WAIT MY MOM ALSO SAID THAT WHEN I WEAR MASC CLOTHES I LOOK LIKE HER. WHA.WHAT DOES THAT MEAN-- #woops rambled. gonna stop now hahah

[kaikree]

one of my patreon sketch requests is a lion version of astarion which is just funny to me

friend: what do you know about BG3 me: there's a vampire guy that looks like a wet rat

#i say wet rat in a non-derogatory way lmao #i experience much confusion about what is attractive when it comes to male characters #sketches

hcs - enha as college students

notes: this isn't even an x reader (it may be in the future 👀) lmao, this is all lighthearted and i by no means intend to insult or deface any of the enhas or see them fr fr this way

heeseung: comp sci major w/a music minor

deep down would definitely want his degrees to be the other way around

but he would probs realize cs just leads to more of a stable job (not with ai on the rise tho 😍 we love going into a doomed field of study)

(as a cs kid i’m ABSOLUTELY projecting onto my little headcanons about him)

i think..he’d be a NORMAL person that enjoys programming more than learning abt computer hardware or theory

seeing as he’s normal he’d HATEEEEE object-oriented programming (the complex part of programming OUGHGG)

he’d probably know exactly what to minor in for his dream job: music production

he’d DEFINITELYYY be in the school orchestra as a piano

he’s not mysterious enough for a bass, annoying enough for a violin or trumpet, or quirky enough for a cello

he’s an attention whore he wouldn’t even LOOK at the violas 💀

but yeah overall i think he’d know his plans for the future down to a T

probs has an internship at microsoft (derogatory)

now for the most important question

would he be a tech bro?

absolutely NOT

for those that aren’t as familiar with tech bros

just imagine a redditor alpha male with horribly gelled hair that brings the LOUDEST gaming pc to class with a horribly oiled, light-up keyboard, and makes sleazy comments about the one or two girls in every comp sci class

in other words: a woman in cs’ worst nightmare (send help i’m one of TWO girls in a class full of tech bros.)

but yeah he wouldn’t be like that at all

he’d definitely suck at rizzing up women (bro plays LoL in 2023, the year of our lord, need i elaborate?)

i can easily imagine him coming into class with gray sweatpants, a white t-shirt and flannel over, and a double-shot coffee from starbucks every day

he’d probably be the most decent-looking dude in every cs-related class i can’t even lie

for the dudes reading this: if you ever need an ego boost, do basic self-care and dress well (maybe even put on basic makeup), and join a cs class

the amount of mid ass incels with no concept of self-care will immediately make you the most attractive man in the class i kid you not

neways enough of me projecting 💀

as a music student

i could absolutely see him eat up every composition assignment (where you compose your own piece of music)

although i feel like he’d have a teacher that prefers classical music that’d be PISSED every time he submits something non-conventional

omg imagine him composing a whole dubstep instrumental for class

if the music production thing doesn’t work out he’d start a band with a bunch of losers in his dad’s garage and make horrible music that’d still get a decent amount of listens and attention bc he’s hot

it’s giving fallout boy but not emo

maybe shitty indie at best

more utc !

jay: english major w/a philosophy minor

first of all

his ass would NOT know philosophy is mostly math before signing up

i don’t think he’d be bad at math at all but he’d fs be regretting it all

but then he’d debate dropping out until whoop there’s only a semester left until it’s over. too late.

he’d dress up for every class for SUREEE

one word: beige.

he IS light academia pinterest

studyblr WISHES it was him fr

macbook user. i don’t need to explain.

he’d probably have his life together on the outside

bullet journal and aesthetic notion and all

i feel like he’d prefer discussions and deep thought (hence the philosophy) and debates over analysis

he’d LOVE discussing his thoughts abt different texts in class

he would NOT like writing out analyses abt random ass stories tho (hs english was a NIGHTMARE)

argumentative essays are his BITCH fr

i think he’d lose points for focusing more on broader concepts and going just a tad too off-topic in analytical essays, instead of focusing on details and cause-effect relationships and all that

now for the important part: his life outside of college

ik for a FACT he’d be the most likely to have a thriving social life outside of school out of all of enha

don’t @ me it’s not my fault the rest of them are MAIDENLESS – heeseung plays LEAGUE for crying out loud !!

probably goes out to the mall or new attractions like museums every weekend

even tho he minors in arguably one of the hardest fields of study ??

bro would finish up calc III homework in less than an hour 🤯

i bet he’d be there on a scholarship too 😒lucky ass

jake: international relations (global politics) major, no minor

note: ik the average writer would probs make him a physics major but that’s BOOOORING and overdone, plus i just don’t see it 🤷

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOTE !!! IR ≠ political science !!! IR focuses on politics around the world, pol sci is more of how internal governments work

(i’m also heavily projecting here bc i’m a politics student send your prayers please and thank you)

i pity IR majors

this boy is TIRED 25/8

tbh the thing with IR isn’t that the content’s hard

a (paraphrased) quote from my IR teacher: “political scientists are lazy, all they do is come up with generic concepts and slap an ‘-ism’ at the end”

it’s moreso the reading and writing.

god the reading.

politics textbooks are so big and expensive it hurts my wallet just to look at the library-issued textbook i have

he’d be running on caffeine and a prayer, no sleep we die like men

not that he’d be a bad student !!

i could definitely see him being that one student that asks the teacher the silent questions no one asks bc they think it’ll make them look stupid (ie. asking them to repeat what they just said or explain a not-so-complex theory)

would definitely word vomit about politics, current and past, to the rest of the enhas (but just to make sure he remembers it all, you gotta respect the grind man)

none of them would understand a thing

jake: “yeah so it’s stupid how there are a whole bunch of states fighting over the south china sea when it’s technically international waters [please don’t quote me on this it’s like 2 am and i’m pulling stuff out of my ass] and therefore has no legal ‘owner’ haha isn’t that stupid?”

the rest of enha, maybe except for jay: 👁️👄👁️

jay: “ermmm akshully 🤓👆it’s in the name, china has legal rights over the south CHINA sea bc it borders it”

i can picture it vividly

imma be honest this man would be a MESS

he’d probably make (futile) attempts to get his shit together like a notion pro subscription, trying to sleep on time, a gym membership, you name it

sadly that’s just the life of a politics student

it’s so hectic it’d be hard to keep up with, but it’s jake, he’d somehow stay afloat

he’d probably come to his minimum wage job after class half-dead but his manager and coworkers would take pity on him and let him sleep in the janitor’s closet

would probably be clinging to the whole “just get through tomorrow and it’ll get better” mentality

it does not. sigh

sunghoon: undeclared until sophomnore (second) year, kinesiology (bio?) major

man honestly

this mf would be irrelevant

probs has a generic major and says absolutely nothing in class

if you blink he’d probs disappear

i feel like he’d initially wanna go for med but then he’d hear about the whole you’re-gonna-sacrifice-the-best-years-of-your-life-for-this-field-of-study thing and said NOPE lmao

which is reasonable

with the amount of ppl doing med in the world he wouldn’t think it’d make a difference if he decided to switch

i feel like he’d just be there for the ride 💀smth abt wanting to “experience all life has to offer” (not in a rich, just here for the business degree way, but more of an “i don’t need a degree to get a job but it might make it easier” way)

so yeah he decides to major in kinesiology, the study of movement according to google

disclaimer i’m not a bio person at ALL so any misinformation is completely unintentional and i will NOT be held at gunpoint to do research about a college major for HEADCANONS at ass o’clock in the morning

neways

he has a decently light workload and therefore a healthy amount of free time

on the occasional he does get a painful assignment he’d procrastinate until he’d staying up and cussing out his past self for not doing it earlier

tbh i don’t think he’d be a horrible OR amazing student

he’s truly MID mid

maybe an average of like … 75% which really isn’t bad tbh the american education system has conditioned us into thinking it is but let’s be fr other than philly cheese steaks what exactly have we ever gotten right.

….neways again

he’d be something like a jack of all trades, master of none

overall a chill guy 9/10 would be fun to hang out with

now for the best part

frat boy sunghoon

idk anything abt frat or sorority life – i’m asian the only thing close to a sorority i’d be in would be like … the school orchestra or book club 💀my parents would kill me – so don’t take everything i say for gospel

you bet your ass he’d be at every party

100% for the booze and vibes he wouldn’t even be there to flirt or rizz ppl up (he’s a self-aware man he knows he has negative rizz but that’s what makes him so ALLURING)

wouldn’t get high or anything tho he’s not all abt that life (that life being running away from the popo)

i’d trust him to walk me home tbh

he wouldn’t hurt a fly the most he’d do is like … attempt to verbally abuse jay

sunoo: art major, english lit. minor

you saw it coming don’t lie

NEWAYS

he’d be amazing at art honestly

making a portfolio would be his Thing yk

yk those big artists that are all about “working on the impulse” and not doing anything until they do ridiculous shit to get over art block

that’s him

but he slays every time he gets over it

god i feel like he’d be the perfect college friend after jay

he definitely has his shit together

i’m talking he does his assignments on time, probably has a half-paid merit scholarship, works a decent job at a taco bell just off of campus, and somehow has a will to live and time to go to the mall every weekend

the thing is, he’s not the most perfect college friend bc he’s slightly more fun-focused and free-spirited than jay, who’s a perfect mix of both

neways no more talking abt other enhas it’s sunoo’s time to shine 😠

i bet his dorm would be the most organized and decorated too oughhgh

he’d be the lucky mf that gets the biggest dorm on the first floor (with like two other roommates but they respect his privacy and all that)

he’d probably be able to get away with dorm policy violations (ie. cooking with an iron or something Not meant for cooking in his dorm instead of the nasty ass moldy ass communal kitchen) by batting his eyelashes and sweet-talking to the woman that oversees the dorms or smth (i’m blanking and i completely forgot what it’s called)

overall the luckiest bitch ever

we should all aspire to be sunoo tbh

if you’re a man and you’re not sunoo … thin fucking ice. do better. /hj

jungwon: biochem major, going for med (specifically oncology, the study of cancer?)

sorry in advance to any ppl in medical 🫶i’m gonna get every part of this wrong lmao

he’s one of Those Guys that’s known exactly what they’re doing since like … middle school

important question: would it be bc he gave into the classic asian parent pressure into becoming a doctor?

they might've played a tiny role in it but i think he'd genuinely wanna go into medical bc he's insane

definitely gets the best scores out of everyone in his class (idk if they use bell curves in med but if not he’d get solid 90s on everything)

i could see him with his life together tbh

homework always done a week before, healthy lunches he makes himself, clear skin, all that jazz

definitely has a merit-based scholarship

probably got a 1560 on the SAT too 😒 lucky ass bitch

i hate to say it

i really do

but he'd be the mf that reminds the teacher abt homework

“ermmmm mr. kim you said we had a pop quiz at the end of class” followed by him being beaten to a pulp

(w reaction/lh)

really cares about getting into a good med school

would DEFINITELY have like two internships every summer

so to recap: basically every asian med student ever (i’m friends with far too many rip med kids)

at least they won't be replaced with ai …

heeseung crying in the distance

NEWAYS

for a med student i feel like he’d be busy 24/7 but he wouldn’t Look like it?

like if you’ve seen a med student, even in hs, they look like they lost a fight to a rabid raccoon

but for some reason jungwon has his shit together like the neurotypical know-it-all he is 😒/lh please don’t kill me

seeing as he’s known what he wants to do since like … middle school in this au, i think he’d fs be on top of all the content he’s learned, if not ahead of everyone else

i’d trust him to be my doctor 🫡

actually no i wouldn’t

riki: theater major w/a visual art minor (get it bc he’s a minor) (i’m hilarious LAUGH)

he’s a quiet little guy, definitely sits in the back of the lecture hall

would milk the SHIT out of being a minority for scholarships and applications

i'm talking his common app essay abt being socially isolated and politically aware, i'm talking abt using any and all minority scholarships possible – in the eyes of the law (and the college board), riki is now half hispanic

i’d say his grades would be pretty decent, not much in the A+ zone (96-100) but at the very least, B+’s

really not that bad tbh

he’d SO be a theater kid in hs

tell me he wouldn't be those mfs that have the whole hamilton soundtrack memorized and break out into random song and dance at inappropriate times

i bet he’d ship hamilton and laurens 💀

neways

i feel like he'd like art as a class but suck at meeting deadlines and portfolio assignments n stuff

which is valid tbh i don’t think any kind of teacher of the arts (not just visual) should be too strict abt that

classes with him and sunoo would make him INSUFFERABLE omg

if you put them next to e/o they won't shut up

which is cute don't get me wrong

but makes trying to work IMPOSSIBLE

but when they're separated he’d be dead silent

you wouldn't even notice he's there tbh

overall a dedicated student with the occasional tendency to be silly and goofy

i feel like his resume would be pretty to make up for the lack of content actually on it

i'm talking canva pro graphics, fancy fonts, graphic design is his passion (not literally)

logically the best career path for him based on his degrees would be a set designer …

but obv he’s either an actor or the manager

probably an actor being a stage manager SUCKS

(don’t get me wrong it’s fun i’ve done it before but oh my GOD. if you ever wanna lose hair really fast become a backstage manager it’ll work 100%)

bonus: best-dressed in class

sunoo - you’ll never catch him slipping tbh 🤷 he’d have the most free time out of the others and would probably spend his time going out and putting together silly little outfits and being cute and adorable bc it’s kim sunoo That’s Just How He Is

jay - light academia light academia light academia light academia light academia

sunghoon (unintentionally) - his sense of style in college would be mid, truly meh, nothing special to look at but his looks make up for the boring attire (hubba hubba 😍) – the type to wear a white t-shirt, timbs, and jeans to class every day (get it 2017 jungkook 😍), maybe even a jacket. his sense of style would be as spicy as salt so not spicy at all, it’s giving unseasoned, boiled chicken

riki - he just Doesn’t Care but thankfully all the items in his closet would be usable (thanks to sunoo, that man would NOT let riki leave the house without running his outfits by him. his logic is that no best friend of his should look like a dumpsterfire !!)

jungwon - similar to jake, no time !! matching sweatshirts and sweatpants ftw

jake - politics majors have no sanity or connection to the real world bc it drives you INSANE after a month, cut him some slack :(

heeseung - the venn diagram of ppl with no sense of fashion and cs majors is a circle.

🌍 and 🔍 obviously for Armand

Fuck yes tysm anon looooove this animal!!!! "Obviously for Armand" is killing me like yes so true he is my brand

🔎: something about the modern era not referenced in the books that you think [insert character] would find upsetting or confusing + why?

This almost feels too obvious but the invasion of Ukraine I imagine would be pretty triggering and upsetting for Armand. For pretty self explanatory grew up in Kiev under invasion slash power of Ghengis Khan subsequent kidnapping and selling trauma.

On a less serious note I think Armand would find combat video games rlly confusing lmao. Ik this is probably a hot take but I have reasoning ! In devil's minion Armand describes to Daniel how he doesn't understand war or violence between men cuz violence to him isn't something he would ever choose, it's not exciting to him and it doesnt like call to him the way he imagines it does to other ppl, he is only so violent because he was born into violence raised to become used to pain and as a vampire violence is inherent + necessary.

So like I imagine if he found out about first person shooters killing games etc he wouldn't understand why they exist 😭 I think he'd really enjoy the technological and mechanic aspects that go into a game and find them really appealing for that reason (I could def see Armand having a gamer phase) but conceptually killing games would confuse him. I imagine while crushing Daniel in call of duty Armand's questioning him the whole time over why it is so overwhelmingly common for mortals to design experiences were they can fantsize about taking life while Daniel is just like oh my god Armand its not that deep ur distracting me 😭

🌍: if [insert character] were human and so was everyone else, what would their life be like? for example: what would their career be? where would they live? what about their relationship to [insert character]?

Oooo don't u dare activate human au brain (excitement). I love human aus cuz it strips away any supernatural justification for the characters being so fucked up and instantly reduces them to guys who r just like that it's so funny.

I could see Armand as an interior designer, smth sort of formulaic but still artistic. Interior design calls to me for him cuz of his passion for designing his loved ones elaborately lavish living spaces as a form of love language (trinity gate, night island). Obvs I have a human au and my Armand live's in New York, so I'm gonna go with that. Interior designer living in New York Lmao whose in the worst ever pseudo polycule with his old friend (derogatory) Lestat, Lestat's husband Armands ex husband (non literal) slash current boyfriend Louis and his bitch he keeps on a leash and does kink with in non consenting public spaces Daniel.

It feels so silly saying this cuz my fic is literally a social media au but I think that in a general human au Armand would not use social media like he'd have accounts and use the Internet but I can not see him blogging tweeting tiktoking etc. having a social media presence requires a certain level of gratification and enjoyment with sharing urself with others and being a public figure that army doesnt have lmao he hates to be perceived + consumed and thats what being online is all about ❤️

Anyways relationship wise I think Daniel is the most interesting to talk about in a human au cuz there relationship is so centrally vampiric like the whole conflict and crazy devotion comes from that, and in my heart and soul a human devil's minion has the same insanity that is justified by Daniel just being very mentally ill and Armand just being very into bdsm and blood play role play shit, love wins. Kidding they r both very mentally ill, I imagine the vampire conflict would translate into daniel being crazy obsessed with Armand and desperately longing for a deeper emotional intimacy and commitment, maybe even marriage, and armand keeps pushing him away cuz for trauma reasons he likes to keep ppl at arms length, so they r just doing bdsm shit but they r in love and army doesn't know what to do with that cuz the vulnerability of being emotionally intimate is scarier then physical esp when u have the power in the sexual dynamic. also Daniel alcoholism plus Armand every disorder and trauma is a formula for big blow out arguments all the time. Maybe they get healthy one day and adopt some fuck ass kid or two (Benji and sybelle wink wink)

Human au Marius wise makes me shudder cuz the most canon accurate stand in would be Marius adopts Armand when he's a kid or takes him in, fosters him, etc which is pretty hashtag disturbing 😭 but if I were to write a human au that's not millennia gate (my fic) that's what I'd do 😊

Armands history with Lestat and Louis I imagine would be pretty similar to canon just to a smaller less vampiric scale cuz queer ppl r just like that they r all exes they r all dating and having casual sex and marrying. I would elaborate more on this but I would just be semi spoiling my plans for my fic Lmao so ig stay tuned

Anyways love u for this anon I love Armand love that animal he is my fav ever shrieks and explodes

Saw your tweet and I knew there was more evidence that some of the Sunrise execs genuinely didn’t favor Inuyasha LOL there was another interview where a producer kept getting asked about the character Inuyasha’s popularity in a series of questions and they kept giving non-answers or directing the focus on other characters, which is such a Japanese way to answer in the negative

AND YET the character Inuyasha still got popular. So they started mentioning how the love triangle (that they pushed and exaggerated, oh and all the anime-only crap) was the reason for the popularity 🙄

The context, for people who don't know what anon is talking about:

If the translation is accurate, this producer at Sunrise is shocked that "a guy like inuyasha (derogatory)" was voted as the #1 favorite anime male character in 2001 🥴

Joke's on Sunrise because despite their attempts at ruining Inuyasha's character he is still the most popular character of the series! Even recently in 2019 he was again voted as the #1 most popular Rumiko Takahashi character (and 200k+ people voted in that poll!).

I don't think I've read the interview you're talking about, if you remember where you read that please share! I believe you though, that totally sounds like something a Sunrise producer would do. I remember reading the interview where they said the appeal of the Inuyasha series is “the love triangle and Sesshomaru being cool”. Lmao my guy, I’ve never actually met someone who did enjoy the love triangle. In the 2019 poll all the most popular IY episodes where inukag-focused (”Return to the place we first met”, “Towards tomorrow” and “Fateful night at Togenkyo”) yet to celebrate that poll they had Inuyasha’s VA re-enact inu/kik scenes with Kikyo’s VA 💀 Read the room!!

[gemsofthegalaxy]

watching Sarah Z's new video on Queerbaiting and i wonder if it's gonna be kinda similar to Rowan Ellis' video on representation where like,

calling out queerbaiting is similar to calling FOR queer representation, where we (a certain subset of nerdy bookish/moviesh internet queers) have been focused on those specific things for a while and they've both kind of evolved past their usage

because queerbaiting imo is still shitty, when done as an intentional marketing tactic by PR and higher up executives for a fictional show. but it's also really hard to tell if it was just the case that nobody on the show had the will to fight for explicit queerness, if it came down from on high as a directive, if it was someone trying to sneak something past the censors, etc. and it ends up just encouraging bickering among fans and in some cases eating our own. as well, some people have pushed back to the point that they prefer queerness to be non explicit, and i've gathered this is sometimes because queerness is transgressive but what popular media tells us tends to be filtered through a marketable lens, therefore things that are truly queer and transgressive come from reading in what may or may not be intentional, but it still queer anyway. i don't fully get this, because i would like full frontal unabashed queer romance, personally. i love romance regardless of the gender of the people involved, shoot me i guess?

and on that note. "representation". it's just, like... i get why people want representation and why they frame their argument in this way- that showing queer stories is a Good, because it allows people to see themselves, and also for people to learn about queerness by sympathizing with fictional characters. but it also ends up getting sticky and into a lot of politics around what is "good" and "bad" and "problematic" representation... and yet, at the end of the day, nobody should be getting their full understanding of a social issue from fictional media alone, first off, and not everything can, will, or should be relatable to every single person out there, so nitpicking about what is good and bad might get into the territory of invalidiating real experiences just because one person has no concept of frame of reference even though, there's also a very real person who has experienced that exact thing.

still. as a fat woman, i do in fact want more fat "representation", as in, i want to see more characters who are fat, especially in stories where they are the leads and their fatness is incidental and not mentioned at all, especially not in a derogatory way. other people might want more stories about fat people facing adversary and rising above it, or other facets of fatness, or somewhere on the spectrum. i do think there is value in showing more diverse bodies on screen. in addition, people who are from different cultures, have different skin colours, etc. having representation is "good" but that is not the only reason to do it, either...

because another thing that can happen when representation is the single goal is like.. well.. what if the story isn't even that good? like. first and foremost i want stories that i Enjoy, regardless of any diversity aspect. a story is more likely to be enjoyed by me if it shares my values, sure, but it's not a guarantee. it still needs some level of quality, or at least something to sink my teeth into. this opinion is one ive involved into over time and still shift and change a bit on, day by day. currently my fav blorbos are horrible rich men ! like, sure, theyre gay (to me.) but like. theyre bad people lmao. and that's fine. but if i was still adamant about not watching stuff that doesn't have mostly women characters in it, i'd never have given this show a chance. i still do like to watch shows by and about women, though.

anyway. rambly, idk. i barely even started the video lmfao.

#gems watch

[mytvd]

can they fly?? is there any other way she could have been yanked vertically like that??

the zooming of the credits sent me

"i predicted obama" "can we still say 'tr*nny mess'?"

the crow on the street signs. watching. observing. the video mentioned that the crow and fog get dropped right away which is already making me so sad.

kai confuses me -- is he really making fun of jeremy for wearing nail polish?? "pete wentz (derogatory)"?? offended at the mention of carson daly?? he and jeremy look equally threatening, is kai supposed to be scarier??

the dramatic sunglasses removal made me wonder if vampires can accidentally compel people by making eye contact. or was it just to look cool

the "chill yourself" clip has been stuck in my mind since i first watched that video and seeing it in context was just ...!

why is bonnie so menacing in that shot????

i'm uneasy seeing pretty much all of these people inside a high school. i have consumed ridiculous amounts of high school media but this is really pushing it

"HAWT-E" lmao

i haven't looked into anything about the production at all but this looks like a really high-budget episode for the first season of any show, especially a teen paranormal romance

that crow noise as she enters the cemetery LMAOOOOO

literally lol'd at [i assume damon] standing by that statue. whoever came up with that shot really ate that day

does elena think "hitchcock" is the movie title

the crow sounds keep startling my cat

there's no way she wouldn't have felt that injury lol

is this the same background music from pll??

matt looks old enough to be kai's dad at this restaurant. no offense to this actor irl -- he just looks tired and his skin looks very dehydrated (vs kai's v moisturized face). why didn't they oil up this man and try another take

"when's the last time you had sex with a puppy?"

i thought it was gonna turn out that elena was lying to jenna, she is dressed for a much different occasion than her friends are

"her mom and dad died" i wonder how many more times this will get stated in this episode (edit: even more than i thought)

it looks like stefan is on a date with all three of them

i had to rewatch this scene because of the background kate bush. i didn't want it to be a cover but wow. the hits!!!

i stan this wardrobe full of diaries!!!

why is this teacher such an asshole

i don't think i ever learned about this kind of hyperlocal town history in school at any point (i also went to a small town southern public high school). i realize it's there for our benefit but lol it seems weird. what actual class is this where on day 2 of school they are learning this information??

mr. tanner quickly became even more of an asshole jfc

why is the closeup of stefan's nose pores comforting to me? (it's bc everyone is airbrushed now)

i love how supportive elena is of bonnie's psychic abilities

elena is v committed to cradling that empty solo cup

where is this?? i know they said "the falls" and i assumed this pavilion in the woods was maybe someone's private property but the bridge with the lights?? where are they lol

holy shit vicki

this is a much fancier woods party spot than the woods party spot i went to in high school. or the cow pasture spot. there are so many coolers, cans, bottles, etc, but no visible litter. wild

how is nobody calling 911 lol like why are all these kids just standing around staring as if nothing has happened?? they would be, at the very least, milling about

the zooms are non-stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have never seen so many zooms. slow zooms. fast zooms. credit zooms.

i know there are things like civil war flashbacks but i would love a 90s one of stefan in his "grunge look"

jenny called damon "an eyebrow heavy performance" and yeah

i can't believe jeremy is drinking a beer while there are cops in the frame???

i hope we find out more about the competition caroline believes she is in with elena

the fray. i'm time traveling

stefan wanted to "be someone new" so he returned to his small hometown, under his real name, to live in his family home??

i know that almost everyone in a movie/tv show playing a teen or young adult is older than their character but again this show is really pushing my suspension of disbelief re: damon making eye contact with caroline. in this shot just having him facing the camera instead of showing his profile and using less harsh lighting would have done wonders to not make me viscerally react to him flirting with a teenager.

elena in front of this giant un-curtained window in the dark on the cw is so pll

from the video i know the stefan is "seventeen" but i wonder if katherine was also seventeen?? or maybe katherine is older than the brothers, in apparrant age & actual age? i just had the thought, "if stefan is only here to check out elena, why couldn't he have waited until she graduated high school to meet her?" which made me think, "at what point in her physical development would it become clear that she is a doppleganger of katherine? like how young?" there is no enjoyment for me in trying to pick apart the age disparity ethics of vampire teens dating human teens so i am disregarding that for this entire show but the doppleganger thing is weird to me

just remembered from the vpd video that queen bianca lawson is on this show, just like she was on contemporary PLL and predecessor BTVS. the eternal teenager

i was committed to only watching one episode tonight but the next episode is called "the night of the comet." fuck

Episode 8 of the bad batch

It just occurred to me they have neither a crawl nor a narrator.

Crosshairs voice is so 🥴 (derogatory)

See this is what they shouldve shown more of for wrecker: someone who actually displays the skills in his job. He's a demo expert but for the most part he fires a gun. I have my own hcs about wrecker primary and secondary and tertiary knowledge but do I trust the team to give wrecker that depth and firmly move him away from the lazy and racist writing of Big Muscle Small brain. No. But this moment w him and omega is cute bc it solidifies how close they are and I'm never against a big guy being friends w a kid.

"I'm not crazy" *annoying laugh*

"I failed my first disarming test too" adding that to the vault w the line "he's losing his touch"

Wreckers walk cycle here is so dbaknskajskss

So is that guy just dead?????

She ran all the way over there w that big ass gun 😭

Hunters armor doesn't seem v protective

Echo's sense of honor and duty is still so strong

I wonder how far they are from the bridge

Man I feel so bad for echo like this whole thing has been him a butting heads with the rest of the batch

"mlst likely" tech cmon

It's funny bc if this was on TV that would have been a commercial break

What do you mean they didn't see them come on 😭

Oh is this the episode where omega kills people and they just don't mention it

"aim for the kid" LMAOOOOO

Idk like. They're so ready to kill the clones but when it's a non clone they use stun blasts and I think it's been like that in every situation so far

YEAH OMEGA IS KILLING THE CLONES TOO?? WHAT THE FUCK???

Yeah I can't. Like this whole fight don't sit right w me the way wrecker is so brutal w the regs and throwing them off places and the regs are getting like pinned under debris

I wonder how they design these parts of the ship like is there already a Way These Work or do they just add what's necessary

Man don't interrupt techs info dump

Crosshairs yelling voice is not what I expected

Damn crosshair really finna roast them

I'm so sorry but echos delivery when

DONT YALL GOT LESS THAN TWO MINUTES?

This is a more subtle arrangement of their theme which I appreciate

Crosshair being unlucky enough for his helmet to fall off lmao

Ouch omega going through all this w no armor

Oooh creepy. Poor 8508

PLEASE THE FUCKING GUITAR FOR CAD BANE

"I'm not like other clones"

Banes got a good look to him here

This stand off was originally boba and bane I remember seeing the reel

This music has taken this episode from scary and kinda heartbreaking straight to camp of the corniest varieties like the tone of it is just too different

Wait it's working a little

This kinda annoys me that tbb can get shot in the chest and still live but literally no other clone but Rex (bc he's a MC) has that benefit

Crosshair w all these bandages 😭

They should show more HUD povs tbh

Tew be honiss.....tbb doesn't need to be a 16 episodes season. If they'd cut out nearly all the middle episodes that don't include crosshair or deal w the empire in some way it'd be tighter as a story since there was so much time dedicated to avoiding developing them. This is why ppl say the lacing felt a bit off, like in canon it really can't have been more than a few weeks at the most but the way it's being handled it's like crosshair disappeared and has been gone for so long he either never existed or the bad batch don't think about him anymore

i think it’s interesting how on that marvel poll people seem to be taking it as a derogatory term. i certainly don’t see it that way since it’s just a descriptor to me, like “that’s a marvel movie” “that’s a DC movie” “that’s a paramount movie”. i do agree that hearing “marvel” does lead me to “mcu” automatically, in like a knee-jerk way, but i also wouldn’t NOT count non-mcu movies as not marvel movies (the amount of negatives in that sentence kills me lmao). e.g. i count spiderverse and blade as marvel movies because......they are

#uhhhh me

[musical-chick-13]

6, 7, 8, 10, 13?

YES THANK YOU. BLESS YOU.

6. Which ship fans are the most annoying?

Oh, God. Um. Most of the popular ones, if I'm being honest. There are a bunch of different ways I could answer this, from "it's everywhere" to "people misunderstand this canon dynamic" to "people make disgusting bigoted comments toward another, '''in the way''' character" to "most destructively moralistic" so I'll talk about the fanbase that historically has encompassed all of these, which is. The J*hnlockers.

I don't think I can EVER explain how utterly unhinged (derogatory) this fandom was when the show was airing. People straight-up labeling their analyses as a "conspiracy," convincing others that there was a Super Secret Actual Finale Episode that would "fix" their ship not being canon. They paired the main villain up with a character who didn't even exist in canon because doing anything involving the women was, presumably, too much to ask. The absolutely horrendous things they would say about the female characters, ESPECIALLY to fans of them who were minding their own business. (Also, they called one of the gay co-creators "actually a straight man" for not canonizing this ship which is completely and utterly WILD to me.) Genuinely there was NO space more unsafe fandom-wise that I have EVER been in. I cosplayed Irene for a con one time and, though luckily nothing happened, I was AFRAID FOR MY LIFE THE WHOLE TIME. Like. The level of vitriol and misogyny and biphobia (I'm not even going to get into that one) was UNREAL. To the point where genuinely I hope we never get new content of any kind so I don't have to think about people who act like this ever again.

7. What character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

...........at the risk of getting murdered. MCU Steve. He was just kind of. There. To me. I didn't particularly care about him because he read to me as "generic good guy" which isn't an archetype that particularly resonates with me, but...then the fandom just. My God. Saying that EVERYTHING he ever did was right, that NO ONE had any points when they questioned him, that he EPITOMIZED goodness in a way no other character did ever, that anyone who liked Tony (or anyone who was ever perceived as being in Steve's "way" about anything, don't get me started on how people treated Sharon) was A War Criminal Apologist Irl and was Singlehandedly Upholding Every Type of Oppression, like it was. SO annoying. I went from indifference to borderline-hatred out of spite.

8. Common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

GOT SEASON 8 WAS NOT THAT BAD, GOT SEASON 8 WAS NOT THAT BAD, GOT SEASON 8 WAS NOT THAT BAD, GOT SEASON 8 WAS NOT THAT BAD, GOT SEASON 8 WAS NOT THAT BAD, GOT SEASON 8---*I am forcibly removed from the building*

(On a more, uh...eloquent note, Lady Macbeth is not a badass gender-binary-shattering Girlboss™ femme fatale, she is a complete mess struggling with layers and layers of psychological issues that she does not let herself process, as well as a HELL of a lot of internalized misogyny. I love her, too, but this creation of her into some sort of suave or cool monarch lady genuinely baffles me. But then again, this play was my Capstone Research Project my final year of college and I wrote a 50-page paper on it, so maybe I'm a little too invested in how people present her, lmao.)

10. Worst part of fanon

Tbh, everyone who insists that two characters [usually (cis, white, abled) men] MUST be in romantic love because they care about each other. Like...don't get me wrong, I love looking at a LOT of non-canon pairings through a romantic lens because It's Neat™, but showing physical affection or willing to throw down/break the law for someone or calling them things like "admirable" or "amazing" are not? Inherently romantic?? Like by so many people's standards I'd be in romantic love with all my platonic friends, I guess, and that's very annoying. Romance isn't the only kind of love that exists!!! Nor is it the only important or significant one!!!

(On a more specific note, there's a fairly pervasive idea that Aki/Himeno is...a grooming relationship? When according to the established timeline and personal events that would. Literally be impossible. People take the "I'm not old enough to smoke" line that happens not long after they meet as some sort of confirmation that Aki was, like, fifteen or sixteen at the time? Or something? Instead of like. Nineteen. Dude has to have time in the three years he's known her to change significantly in appearance, become old enough to smoke (the legal age for that is 20 over there btw), and develop a substance dependence. And given the visual markers of Himeno's appearance when the two of them meet and how drastically her appearance changes in the intervening years, she can't be more than a couple of years older than him? People also take a comment that's meant to convey that he's been at his job three years longer than another character as saying that he's only three years older age-wise than said character. Which, again, given the timeline. Would be impossible. And also. There is an example of grooming in this story! It's really important to the plot actually! It's meant to be seen as horrifying! You would assume that the fact that this relationship is not presented in the same way means something! Don't get me wrong, Himeno's done her fair share of shitty things, but grooming her fight partner was not one of them. There are plenty of reasons this ship isn't for everyone, you don't have to make shit up, lmao.)

13. Worst blorbo-ification

Genuinely I cannot choose between these two, so we're gonna make this post even longer.

Why do people like K*lo R*n. I don't understand. He was given the barest hint of sort-of, hazy tragic "backstory" and people...very much disagreed with me when I said I didn't think that was enough from a narrative standpoint to actually mean anything. And that's not taking into account that this blorbo-ification happened before we even knew that. When all we knew was that he felt kind of lost sometimes and killed his dad while helping head up a fascist empire, people went wild, and not in a "I like villains" kind of way. In a "he's MEANT to be read as mentally ill" kind of way (my God, please stop saying this about every character who is mean and exhibits one emotion) and "his parents MUST have been abusive to him" kind of way. Neither of those things. Has any basis in canon. Just. Just admit you like a character who's not a good person. And that you like a ship that's a dark romance. You won't explode, I promise.

The other one is Light. People want him to be a tragic anti-hero SO bad, I am incredibly tired. He went from zero to beyond 100 in the space of a couple of in-story hours. He's not some misguided utopian visionary, he's a hypocrite with a god complex. I have met too many people like this irl to get behind any positive or sympathetic interpretation of this character. (And don't get me wrong. I think in order to most effectively present the Themes™ of the work as a whole, he had to be written like this. I don't begrudge the creator (in this instance, anyway), I begrudge the fanbase. There's actually a lot I could say about this piece of media and general reaction to it, but my God this is already long enough.)

I choose violence asks

#tw: grooming mention #tw: abuse mention #long post #hope y'all like me being salty lmao #prepared to get a small slew of unfollows as per what usually happens when I do things like this lmao #multi t(ASK)ing #re: the last part-I saw something that said coming into contact w/the title object only allowed him to fully embody the person he was all #along. that he now had something that gave him the permission & ability to do what had always been simmering under the surface. and that's #ultimately how I view things as well #salty mc13 is salty

“the n word is thrown at people who aren’t black too but it’s a derogatory term for black people so other poc can’t use it”

You’re trying to argue non-black people get called the n-word? That’s ludicrous and offensive lmao. It’s thrown at black people and you wouldn’t argue that because somebody is mixed that means they can’t use it.

“Dyke” is thrown at same sex attracted women. Johnny Depp used to call Amber Heard a dyke when they were arguing. She’s bi. It’s not thrown at gay men or straight men or straight women, it’s specifically degrading women who are attracted to women. Yes, lesbianism! Which bi women take part in.

ugh yeah it’s so ludicrous and offensive not like the word sand n-word exists or anything. not like some idiot racists throw the n-word at any dark skinned person they see bc to them we’re all the same. how ludicrous to state that sometimes people are grouped with black people and called antiblack slurs despite not being black the same way sometimes bi people are grouped with lesbians or gay men and called anti-gay slurs despite not being homosexual.

nowhere did i say bi people are never called anti-gay slurs. but if the slurs mean homosexual then obviously they can’t reclaim it. “it’s not thrown at straight men or straight women!!!” actually plenty of gnc straight people get called slurs like dyke or the f slur. by your logic they can call themselves those slurs too now.

#honestly fuck off at this point lmao #anonymous

[meangirlstobin]

omg your tags about by/ler posts being on the same level as tjlc is soooo true. one post floated across my dash the other day and i was genuinely like “damn op would’ve loved bbc sherlock (derogatory)”

lol sometimes I want to ask people where they were in 2012 because its a little too familiar…

I understand it’s a part of shipping to comb through the source material to find things that support your ship, especially when it’s non-canon but some of the posts I’ve seen… um okay! I guess i’m just not sure where the fanaticism comes from??

Also, I don’t particularly consider the duffers the types of writers to hide codes in their writing, at least not on this level. So, I don’t really see the point in trying to make meaning out of the show that way? That’s where it really gets tjlc lmao, like oh so the russian code is telling us that mike will profess his love? is there gonna be a secret episode, too?

At the end of the day, it’s not really that important it’s a mid netflix show. People can and will do what they want but it does make me giggle <3

#the russian code thing is the funniest to me i think #like i believe that YOU believe that 💜 #also dont get it twisted i dont really care about any st ships especially not the kids tbh #i just like having a little giggle sometimes <3 #i guess this is a bit mean spirited but idc do u im just some guy lol #i think ive just been in online fandoms for so long im like okay. moving on lmao #asks

[blinkaftermidnight]

fair fair idk why i figured you had a normalish sleep schedule when you’re a writer (non-derogatory)

YEAH … leah with orange sith eyes would be pretty hot but also heartbreaking at the same time because fatin truly loved her blue eyes y’know. LMAO ALSO i truly forgot that they literally can’t have a pregnancy scare. and now i’m just thinking about gretchen with that wrinkly post-force-lightninged ✨look✨

no but (if i remember what you said in a past answer correctly), leah being assigned to protect fatin and fatin being … fatin, leah finds herself annoyed at first but grows to be amused instead and then that Oh No realization of having feelings. with a side of leah definitely saving fatin’s ass at least once from one perpetrator or another and fatin shamelessly drooling over her lightsaber skillz. my brain is stuck in this now 🥲

No 100% it’s: my sleep schedule (derogatory)

Hot and heartbreaking. Two of my favorite H words lmao. BECAUSE FATIN LOVES HER EYES OMG not me imagining Fatin seeing Leah like full blown Sith eyes and shit and how devastating that would be for Fatin for multiple reasons of course. We’re gonna have to rethink some of the plot since they can’t have a whole accidental pregnancy storyline but I’m sure we could make it work.

Gretchen as the Emperor 🥴 and Leah is tall though maybe not tall enough to be Darth Vader lmao so I GUESS Leah is gonna kill Gretchen and find a way to live happily ever after with Fatin before Order 66 is ever carried out.

I did talk about Leah being assigned to protect Fatin as in full blown Attack of the Clones plot and YEAH Leah being so irritated with Fatin’s antics at first and Fatin running straight into danger to try to learn who tf is trying to kill her and why. Leah saves Fatin’s ass but Fatin also definitely saves Leah’s more than once. Cue fake dating for whatever reason and Leah has to pretend like she’s not a Jedi to blend in and she’s so bad at it AND SO NERVOUS every time Fatin gets close to her.

RIP to everyone who follows me for Leatin but doesn’t like Star Wars. You’re all missing out rn lmao

...I frickin love eddie munson. this is perfect timing.

I like to imagine sometimes what the bois™️ got up to before they turned. I saw this poster on etsy I'm super tempted to buy which is like a missing poster for them (I cant find the original one now which is sad but this is the same idea)

But I like to think that, like, paul spent some time in the punk movement during the 70, I can see dwayne or marko being somewhat involved in the hippies during the 60s (especially Marko, those curls scream high on LSD flower child)

David I agree is the oldest. Maybe turned in the 50s? Do you reckon he was a greaser? Max is the only one in my mind that could have been turned in like the early 1900s because he screams like, I'm a working man my woman belongs in the kitchen but I'll act like a gentleman if you catch my drift

Agreed! Paul might be the youngest, although Marko screams man child in a non derogatory way. You should definitely buy that, btw!! It’s so cool.

Also, I can’t wait to write for Eddie. The series comes out Sunday after lost boys finishes on Saturday. I’m grinding it all today though since I’ll be with a date all day and night Saturday LMAO.

[notesofarichlycolorednight]

s1ep11 rogercop

wow this one's a doozy

first of all acab ofc

but like there's so much wrong with this episode.

"lesson learned" as if the mayor or chloe learn a lesson about the abuse of power at all and never do it again, ever in the entire rest of s1 and through to s5 lmao /s

speaking of, the fact that roger's initial goal was arresting the mayor for his abuse of power turned into "getting revenge" is such a "have the bad guys who have a good point kill a baby or something" but the kid version is so bananas. watching ladybug and chat noir defend the mayor, who again, is demonstrably abusing his power, and then saying that roger is in the wrong, is honestly sickening.

this is also what i mean by letting white guys run the show, literally. the creator can't just decide to make marinette half-chinese and not then examine what the means. bc in this episode, they literally wrote a rich white girl accusing her working class non-white classmate of stealing and asking for the latter's girls arrest the entire time. and thought, yeah, that's a good plot to teach children about,,,,??? i don't even know what. jumping to conclusions???

and let's forget not mention it's the rich white guys fault (kinda, like i know plagg really kicked it off) that all this even started in the first place.

surely, surely there were better ways to teach whatever lesson they were trying to teach without having a scenario like that. like i'm all for kids shows teaching kids about how fellow human beings should treat each other, but the writers did it in such a sloppy and lazy way.

like marinette having to "learn" a lesson about not accusing her classmates in the heat of the moment, when the actual culprits don't learn anything is just. a lot. bc as much as i hate to agree with the fucking cop, but roger is right? the mayor does abuse his power!! esp if he bows to the whims of his teen daughter when she throws a tantrum!!! the fact that chloe can threaten to call her dad to get alya expelled? that she can threaten anyone with her father is like. actually so fucked up. and the writers don't treat it with the weight that it really deserves. yes, even in a kids show!! the fact that the mayor threatens to fucking defund the public school if the principal doesn't do anything about his daughter's missing bracelet! like what the fuck???

they just keep reinforcing white power structures without like. truly examining that. having chloe accuse marinette of stealing and getting alya expelled. having the mayor threaten to defund public schools, which is exactly what conservatives in the u.s. want bc they know it will hurt mainly black and brown ppl, is actually so malicious on the writers' part. like idk what to tell you.

they were like, "now we don't have time to unpack all of that" (derogatory) when they really should've!! they got caught in this weird paradox where i think they thought that bc it's a kids show they couldn't address white power structures, but they also want to teach these big life lessons. and like. you can do that. kids will listen and understand if you don't talk down to them.

i had so much more to say but that's basically it. i mean. 1) acab 2) white power structures 3) not treating marinette as non-white/mixed 4) lazy and bad writing

and unfortunately friends, it's only downhill from here bc we'll be returning to 2, 3, 4 a lot. it's all coming back to me like heartburn.
