i keep thinking i’m done with kevin but i miss his videos sm. i can never go back to watching him, im so disappointed in his apology and i will never feel safe in his community again, but i love his content, i wish the whole thing just never happened.

#cmk #idk i just have a lot to say about it #the more reactions to his apology i read the more disappointed i am in it #it feels like he’s trying to appease his transphobic/racist/antisemetic followers and his trans/jewish/poc followers at the same time #like #if you can’t come out and say support trans people / stop being fucking borderline nazis #i don’t think he really gives a shit at all lmao #at the very least i wish he’d addressed it on youtube #most of the people leaving shitty bigoted comments aren’t even going to see the reddit post #and i’m so sick of people defending him by saying he’s just very offline #the man has an entire massive platform Online #he needs to do the bare minimum research #like?? he’s a youtuber his entire platform is online #i’m probably more upset now than i was when the video originally came out lmao #sold out his trans jewish poc followers for money and then halfassed an apology that was 80% “idk man i just don’t really use social media #also why does he think that because jk didn’t code the game she doesn’t get anything from it?? #like “people can feel it’s not endorsing her directly “ it’s her ip of course it’s fucking endorsing her she gets royalties #and then very publicly says she uses said royalties to fund anti-trans organisations #do people think the second the last movie in the series came out she just stopped getting profit from it??? #she owns the franchise #also can the man stop acting like he’s allergic to the word transgender #fucks sake

Would be waiting for acheron brainrot ramble here

Is it time for Acheron brainrot ramble? It’s time for Acheron brainrot ramble. Prepare for the most stream of consciousness post ever, I had so much fun writing this she has taken over my consciousness and puppeted me for my own ends, and commanded me to demonstrate how peak she really is. So enjoy, hopefully I can get others to love Acheron just as much as I do.

I think there are three reasons why I like Acheron 1) she’s really fucking cool 2) I love characters who guide/mentor others 3) She’s charming as hell.

Hoyo you aren’t allowed to make characters this good.

The music in her trailer, her aesthetic, the amount of fire fucking one liners. THE COLOR RED (I’ll get into it)

“Find me, your end, my origin.” Who cooked here who wrote this who’s the chef please where’s the restaurant I’m eating this up

“On the still waters of oblivion, I guide the wandering souls” GRAHAJDJWJKSSW YES YOU DO OH MY GOD I CANT PUT INTO WORDS HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS LINE SHUT UP EVERYONE SHUT UP. Like she literally is at the edge of existence fighting to help others find their future, I just. RAAAA

SHE CUTS A BLACK HOLE IN HALF?? HUHH AUGHH a black hole that’s the manifestation of meaninglessness in the universe, and she goes “nah” and fucking obliterates it?!!?

“I weep for the departed” Those who have died are gone, and slowly losing themselves even further. For decades, centuries, millennia, even, Acheron has witnessed this, and still cries for them, still guides them to the other side, even if the task itself is meaningless, because someone should do it, someone has to do it, and that someone is HER.

She saves Aventurine, she saves the Trailblazer, she saves the entirity of Penacony. Someone blessed by the manifestation of nonexistent dedicates her life to giving others a reason to live.

Aventurine asks her why people should bother living, if the dice are always weighted in a certain outcome, then why should we keep going? Aventurine asks her why people should bother living if the universe is meaningless?

He fully expects her to say people shouldn’t.

But Acheron doesn’t do that. The dice are weighted against us. Not just in game, but in reality itself. We will all die, you will die, the people you care about will die, I might die, it remains to be seen. However, before that inevitable ending, before the curtain finally closes, we have so many choices to make. If the ending is the same for everyone, it doesn’t matter, and Acheron tells Aventurine this.

Because the Nihility envelops everyone equally, the universe is equally meaningless for everyone, nobody is the special someone destined to have a destiny. Therefore, it doesn’t matter. Aventurine has no reason to live. And Aventurine has no reason not to live. She tells him his time hasn’t come, because it hasn’t. Until that dice roll, until his final breath, Aventurine can still make choices and he can still choose to live for himself, and that’s the answer Acheron gives him.

But she knows that’s not enough. Aventurine will still struggle to live for himself, after all he’s been through, after the mountain of expectations and hopes and dreams piled onto him. So she tells him his friend has already given him the answer. Aventurine pulls out the note written by Dr. Ratio. It doesn’t give him a plan, doesn’t inform him of what expectations he has for him, doesn’t list every single reason why Aventurine should keep going. Ratio tells Aventurine to stay alive and keep on living, because he doesn’t need anything more than that, there isn’t anything more than that. Her caring about Aventurine, Ratio caring about Aventurine, that’s enough to keep him going, because other peoples love is enough of a reason to exist, universe be damned.

existing. The Existence. AKSJAKKSNDKKWEN.

Like you don’t understand, you don’t understand. ACHERON IS ENVELOPED IN THE MEANINGLESSNESS OF THE UNIVERSE BEFORE SHE FINDS ITS EXISTENCE, ITS VALUE, ITS MEANING. Even if it can never be achieved, Acheron is willing to destroy herself completely as she walks farther and farther into the Nihility trying to find the Existence, even if it takes every from her she will find it. Only by giving up her existence can Acheron find the Existence and kill the Nihility. Only by sacrificing her own life and giving up her own meaning can she give it to others.

Red. She tells the trailblazer that when they can no longer see the world in anything but black and white, there will be a brief flash of Red for them.

Red is the Existence. Red is the color of her blade that allowed her to cut that black hole in half. Red is the only color left when she unsheathes her sword. Red is the color of the tears she cries. Red is the color of the words she speaks to us that truly matter.

Red is the color she cuts into reality. In a world of black and white, in which all the light has been swallowed by IX, and the path ahead is blurry, Acheron illuminates the universe’s future in bright red, creating color, creating life, creating Existence in a world devoid of it.

We will encounter the Nihility along our journey, just as we would encounter every other aeon. The world will seem meaningless, and it will be devoid of color, but when the Trailblazer needs it the most, there will be Red. A reason to keep going, a reason to exist, a reason to keep on Trailblazing, because the path of the Trailblaze’s end is also at the Existence, and we will meet Acheron there again. Whether that color will come from us or her remains to be seen, but it will be there for us when we need it.

However, I think we/the Trailblazer will be alone. As that flash of red isn’t the only thing Acheron tells the Trailblazer.

Only when left alone can people pick themselves up. Only when help is absent can people truly fight for themselves. Only when you are alone, can you truly understand your existence.

That doesn’t mean other people don’t matter, that you have to walk the world alone, that you can only exist devoid of others. Quite the opposite actually, other people can be your reason to exist, something to help keep you going. Acheron knows this, which is why she directs Aventurine to Ratio’s note. That’s the meaning he can find in a meaningless universe.

Moreover, people help each other, they provide the tools other people need to exist, the anchors that ground people in reality, the reason why you might want to wake up in the morning, they create the things and ideas that you need and enjoy. It’s when you are ripped of these comforts, stripped of the things that make you want to keep going, is when people fight for their existence. As in a world devoid of everything, can you truly appreciate the things you have, and acknowledge that since there is now nothing, you are the only something. When there is no one there to save them, fools pick themselves up, and that is Existence.

I love Acheron. I love her silly amnesiac tendencies, I love her beautiful design, I love that she’s a Mei counterpart, but most of all, I love what she stands for.

Acheron is the indomitable human spirit personified, she quite literally chooses to exist in the face of absolute nothing. When the world loses all color, does she paint reality in a bright red with her sword, writing her own destiny with each and every slash.

And for that, I will always adore her.

Monica has been through a lot. She’s gotten trapped in alternate dimensions, she’s sacrificed, and she’s always in some type of family drama with two powerful white women (who never face consequences for their actions) 😭 Feige give my girl a vacation and a BREAKKK. She also deserves a lot more development for all she’s been through. And Marvel keeps having Lashana Lynch comeback as different variants of Captain Marvel, why not just make her permanent??

#the marvels #mcu #marvel studios #scarlet witch #captain marvel #monica rambeau #maria rambeau #binary mcu #teyonah parris #lashana lynch #I really wanna see Lashana be in her own franchise as an action lead she’s definitely deserving of it!!

so uh...Scream 7 huh? .....I don't think I can watch it in theaters honestly

#Neve you're amazing and clearly a big part of the franchise but what the fuck #you had the power to say no so they could let this franchise rest #or at least fucking apologize to Melissa and own up to the fucking mistake they made #also how the hell are they going to jump back into sidneys story? #the last 2 she (character wise) barely wanted anything to do with the killings #AND #you're going back to a studio who wouldnt pay you what youre worth in the first place??? girl??? #kevin Williamson directing while exciting this is all a clear ploy to get fans back on their good side #scream #scream franchise #ghostface #sidney prescott #horror

listen i’m not saying that old resident evil was peak female rep and without its faults but its so sad to me seeing how quickly the female characters in the franchise got sidelined or fell to tropes

#resident evil #jill valentine was the first playable female character in survival horror #a badass in re3 #then…. reduced to a sexy brainwashed woman in re5 and since then her role as one of the main protags has dwindled compared to chris #claire redfield was a resilient and resourceful character with solid interests and goals #and was a strong main protag for re2 and cvx #then she gets sidelined because….. ?? why #ada wong quickly got sidelined for the male counterpart as soon as she appeared in re4 #and her character has been more and more dependent on her sexuality #and her relationship to leon #shinji mikami just straight up hates rebecca because he didnt make her strong enough #but she still is only really a plot device in the other things she showed up in save re0 #resizura rants #edit: #sorry i have to add more tags about claire #because she was well on her way of being a more compelling character than leon #she had a direct relation to one of the first protags #her route (claire A) is considered the canon one in the original game #and she got her own main game (that people ignore because theres not a number next to it) #which is one of the most important games in the franchise storywise #which saw the redfields actively trying to take down umbrella! like she had a hand in the downfall of the MAIN ANTAGONIST #but SHE’S the one who gets sidelined?

instagram is bringing back mirabel “princess” discourse for the 483747374637th time

#why can’t she just be a heroine #like will the world explode if she is or isn’t a princess #also encanto literally showed that status isn’t everything and YET #I was reading comments and people were literally like HOW DARE U CONSIDER HER A PRINCESS #like be so real the princess thing is just branding it’s not some life changing thing it’s just marketing #mirabel already has her own franchise (well according to d*sney) #but like it’s funny because when talking about any other heroine as a princess it’s so chill but when it’s mirabel people get so NASTY #encanto #mirabel madrigal #also I just think she doesn’t need any extra marketing as a character? Like she’s got her sisters she’s fine #anyways does anyone know why people on Instagram are so agressive over this😭 #like free mirabel

Fate actually popped off with the shared dreams and memories I think. That the Master-Servant contract can mean not just having a fancy ghost who fights for you but that sometimes you can look into their mind, their dreams, their nightmares, you can see the things they saw that no one else understood.

#kayneth having a dream about diarmuid's past though shows it doesn't necessarily mean trust on both ends #i think it meant diarmuid trusted him but not the other way around #and worse it actually made him trust diarmuid less #but the flip side is fiore's dream about chiron raising achilles #and her realization that she is basically asking a father to kill his own child for her sake #(this only pops up in the manga btw which you should read. you should read the apoc manga) #and then. man. how many servants trust guda enough to show them their dreams? #how many dreams has guda seen? how many nightmares? #it's GOOD. it's EXCELLENT. one of the best things in the franchise. #it's not unique to fate i know but it's so good that it's even there

Jenna Ortega apparently asked her agency to have her released from her contract with scream 🤭🤭 you fuck around and you find out babes !!!!!! You did all that shit to dick ride for zionists only for your film to be tanking before it even started, ruining an iconic franchise whose creator is no longer around AND all Thanks to your own stupidity you managed to lose the main girl not once but TWICE..... So embarrassing

#And they tried to sabotage Melissa's reputation in the progress trying to make it seem like SHE was antisemitic #For calling out a literal genocide and standing up for innocent people.. #They deserve all that's coming to them and she deserves better they dug their own grave #Also apparently Susan sarandon got let go from her agency for speaking at a pro-Palestine event?? Hollywood has no spine fr #Wow anna said something #Scream #Scream franchise #melissa barrera #free palestine #How about you use that same energy for noah whatshisface and Amy Schumer instead... It's almost like there's a bias there #Welcome to the circus

would it be funny if the knuckles series introduced amy and metal? i mean, each episode is 60 minutes and the amount of very well known actors is actually insane (they also have already finished the script before the strike, i think that the filming was over too? i'm not sure)

I NEED the knuckles series to introduce Amy because I NEED her in Sonic 3 just because I love her very much and I'm scared there won't be enough time in the movie to introduce her and rouge and shadow and make them all fleshed out characters. I don't know about Metal? Like, I think he deserves a movie actually. I don't want him to get an episode of a tv show I need a full plot for her, treat Metal Sonic righttt 😫😫😫 I don't like that they gave us Shadow so early, like, I get why they did it but NOOOO stop it give me my boy Metal Sonic!!!! Give me Amy!!!

I'm moderately excited for the Knuckles series. I'm kinda slowly running out of patience for the Sonic franchise that has cops as main characters -_- so I'm kind of worried for this show but I'll probably enjoy it and HOPE they at least put my girl there. I'd probably feel disappointed tho bc I really would like both Amy and Metal to get more focus -_-

#can you imagine if metal and amy got their own movie that would be so cool #i don't think it'll happen but i can dream #also i mean #they don't really need an actor for Metal Sonic girl doesn't speak shes just angry dial noises #sorrey i have lots of feelings about this entire franchise and the series and oughhfff #I HOPE THIS IS COMPREHENSIBLE OK AHXJKSKDK

heard some people saying that hayley atwell's character grace is being set up to be the next ethan hunt and carry on the mission impossible series, and my first thought was "well, she definitely looks just as good in a suit."

#watching them together in dead reckoning... they matching #the only reason i'm slightly skeptical of this is because hayley has said during several interviews that she doesn't see herself doing what #what tom cruise does -- with stunts and all #she Definitely has the acting skills and the versatility and the passion #but she has described herself as an extroverted introvert and talked about how tom cruise is in a total extrovert and very #in touch with his physicality & the environment around him; and that's why he can pull off the stunts so well and so successfully #so idk. she's obviously excelled in the physical action part of being in a mission impossible movie and i she's super capable #but they'd have to set her up as a completely different person from ethan with her own style of leadership for it to work #instead of as a female version of him #also?? with the way that mcquarrie doesn't plan out his films' plot until he finishes filming i'm not even sure that HE knows how the #franchise is going to end #mission: impossible #hayley atwell #grace #tom cruise #ethan hunt

"SONIC CHARACTERS AGES DONT MAKE SENSE!!!" people when a franchise about talking animals with superpowers isnt 100 percent accurate to real life

#alternate caption: ''sonic characters ages dont make sense'' people when a franchise for children mostly has kid characters #''amy has her own apartment !!!!!!!!!!!'' okay? shes also a pink hedgehog why are you demanding realism here. shes still obviously a kid? #same with tails . hes still obviously a very young child even if he does things that real life kids wouldnt be doing #also the thing with shadow ?? when characters from anything else get frozen for a while people have no issue accepting that they didnt age #but for some reason a bunch of people think shadow is actually 50+ evne though its the exact same situation??? hello #also long running franchises where the characters dont age or the timeline doesnt make perfect sense #is such a common thing why is it suddenly a huge problem when sonic does it #also when you think about the in universe standards for how teens look and act most teen sonic characters are pretty obviously kids #idk where this ''well theyre basically adults!!!!'' stuff comes from #its cleraly just a thinly veiled excuse to be weird about them

[thesmokinpossum]

Signora Andolini is only in the movie for like 45 seconds and she's still the character who haunts me to most from the entire franchise. Her whole life was destroyed because of the choices of the men around her, choices she had absolutely no control over but then she took that control back as much as she possibly could and she went to beg the man who had already killed most of her family and when begging didn't worked she held a knife to the throat of that same man. She must have known she was not coming out of this alive and she still chose to do it so that her last child would have a chance to live. There would be no story without her actions and yet the narrative doesn't bother giving her a first name and the son she died to save don't even get to keep the last name she did have.

#she is fully defined by the men around here and yet she still show incredible willpower and independance in her own way #in many way she haunts the narrative but except vito none of the characters are aware of it #this franchise is seriously altering my brain chemistry smh #the godfather #signora andolini

YOU all would be like one yes i would love to see that! because YOU have conviction and passion #these people do not. normie ass franchise to be into dear god #of course. there ARE freaks. we know this. we’ve seen this and proved this. i would know #but like. i’m not saying this in regards to redacted i’m saying it in general

every day i wonder what happened during the design process of equestria girls for them to all come out the way they did. i can see where the skirts thing came from cause they wanted them to be undeniably girly i guess or whatever but. every other weird decision is just confusing

like fluttershys whole outfit, the shortish skirt but especially the tank top. maybe its meant to indicate that shes outdoors a lot with animals, but it completely betrays her shyness and tendency to try and hide herself

they kinda messed up big mac and shining armor? mostly shining armor. his jaw could slice metal. why he look like that

also i only realized while looking at the characters that. okay i was just going to say 'lol cheerilees hair is stupid its like 1 foot taller than her head, why didnt they just give her normal bangs wtf' and i still mean that but then i realized... they swapped her mane and fur colors for her human counterpart ??? so now her usually darker coat and light hair became dark hair and light skin ??

which leads me to the point about the skin colors being weird. like. i dont like how they lightened them up, i dont like how aj and big mac have human skin colors (i have to assume maybe they thought for them that the colors looked bad, or possibly even close to caricature territory, especially with big mac), and the way they outright lightened up the colors of at least 2 normally darker ponies? like i said, cheerilee, but also

luna. even back when i first saw the movie and adored it, i DID NOT like the princesses designs. how did they fuck up some of the best characters in the show, especially the ones that are the prettiest (imo).

i would say that of the 3, cadence is the most okay design (i know we dont see her in the first movie just roll with me here). its clearly her, she looks like her and has her vibe (visually), all around not bad. not necessarily my favorite, theres still something slightly off? but it doesnt rub me the wrong way

celestia... i dont like her vibe. who is she. shes light pink and she has hair spikeys that are meant to look like a crown but just made it look like she didnt brush her hair properly. she has celestias hair but her face does not read like celestia to me. she looks like an imposter. where is my mother

and finally. the pinnacle of the issues with the designs. luna.

WHO IS SHE. THAT OUTFIT? NOT LUNA. THAT HAIR? YOU WOULDVE BEEN BETTER OFF JUST DOING A GRADIENT. OR PUTTING IN LITTLE STAR HAIR CLIPS. THAT FACE? THATS SOMEONES WINE MOM WHO SINGS EXTRA LOUD AT CHURCH. same critique about the hair spikeys as before. AND THE SKIN??? HELLO??? THE PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT GOT TURNED INTO PRINCESS OF MIDDAY. WHY.

the design of the show vs the movies is, i guess now literally, night and day. pony luna is so inspired and pretty and meant to invoke such regality, its very clear what her theme is, and she very much sticks out amongst the others, both in shape and details!

but the human version feels generic, she could easily be a background character (and she basically was), she feels unfinished, the colors on their own arent the worst but moreso feel insulting when compared to the original (i like the addition of pink/pinkish purple to the palette, but not so much to luna as a character. it just isnt her imo), she doesnt even look like an authority figure aside from obviously looking older than the other characters, let alone being someone meant to be somewhat equivalent to royalty. also again she was a minor character here but its like... her pony version has such a stone strong personality, both when shes freshly back from the moon and later on when shes more grounded and princess-like. human luna is just... generic teacher person. did human luna even ever experience significant isolation and feeling completely unseen by everyone she cared about? doubt it.

and yeah, they significantly lightened her skin ?? why ?? theres literally no reason to do that? she wouldnt look like a caricature unless you somehow chose the wrong colors (how possibly would you), and its not exactly impossible to draw characters with darker skin, again her pony form literally has a dark coat !! but also plenty of people have redesigned her human form to have the right skin color and they look great!! and in general obviously theres plenty of characters with dark skin, like... what was the reason they did that. it just feels gross.

dont cross me when it comes to luna dude i love her so much

anyway yeah its been over 10 years since EG first aired and i loved it back then and i still love it but i think a lot more about character designs now. mlp g4 is known for having these really pleasant and well put together designs with lovely colors (for the most part), its so weird how that gets easily messed up, like in g5, but also still in g4 itself(in the spinoffs and the main show lol)? wish i had the motivation to redesign them all lol, i probably will someday. please go look at redesigns theyre very lovely

#mlp #my post #long post #my little pony #equestria girls #in which i talk a lot. this was obviously an excuse to rant about the luna choices #luna was one of the first characters i ever related to dude dont fuck with me when it comes to her !!!! #i actually like the decision to keep the characters mostly whimsical colored as humans since its the colorful pony franchise #and it also means they ideally wouldnt be excluding or alienating anyone by having to choose canon human skin colors #but that second one really falls flat with the lightening and also aj is literally. human skin colored instead of orange #man can you imagine being paid to design human luna and you make her look like that. and somehow shes approved #it costs 0.00$ to not do that. or maybe it cost them money idk but like. i have to wonder if #if they ever made her look like herself in concept or she always looked like that #cause if she ever looked like herself in concept. why change her. #i could probably answer some of my own questions through google but. its late and im tired #its Free to make a dark skinned character and make them look good. it costs nothing. and its easy.
