#I'm a bit late but :) #Mmmhh lots of thoughts about this episode. Nothing really relevant though lol #I like it... Mostly. Well‚ I like Atsushi‚ and I like Atsushi screentime. #I always forget that there's actually a one week timeskip within the Guild arc #I think these chapters were generally better executed in the manga. #But even then it's just... #Why do the make the Guild / Fitzgerald so. dumb. Why do they make them act so wildly irrationally and at the protagonists' advantage #It really gives villain acting entirely mindlessly to make the plot advance and the heroes win. It's really sensless. #I mean especially when Atsushi yielded. Why didn't Fitzgerald take his offer. For real!! #For real. He had NOTHING to gain from proceeding with his plan. He already obtained for Atsushi and the ada to collaborate. #Now they are NEVER going to help him‚ and that's agreat loss for him. #And idk. i hear that little Tumblr post in my voice saying “why would you complain about characters acting irrationally! #Do people irl never act irrationally?” #And yeah I get Fitzgerald was frustrated for losing Mitchell and his fight with Hawthorne. Okay I understand. #But that's definitely too much. That's him acting downright stupid at the heroes' advantage and it's just pretty underwhelming to read? #That said. It's just general notes I'm not particularly annoyed because like. That's just b/s/d to you. Dumbing down the villains a second– #so the author can escape the trap they put themselves into. Very Marvel-esque move lol. #On that exact same note WHY WOULD LUCY HAVE THE DOLL. #The doll is the whole premise for your plan working why would you not protect it with everything 😭😭😭 #I'm not getting in the Lucy / Atsushi scene itself. I love Lucy but I swear every time that scene gets played a femminist dies #(it's me. I'm the femminist dying every time.) #Mmmhh a couple more things. I dislike the ost choice in the scene where Steinbeck is torturing Q it feels so out of place #And I really don't get what's the deal with the Hawthorne / Fitzgerald convo it's so confusing to me. Like it It looks like Hawtorne is– #blaming Fitzgerald for Mitchell's condition (both in health and for her family status) but... #Objectively neither of those things are Fitzgerald's fault? Idk maybe I just have very little media comprehension for this arc because– #a lot of things just seem to happen with no sense. But it's okay #Im complaining a lot lol but its mostly irrelevant things (or like with the dumbification of villains things I've learnt to live with lmao) #But the episode was generally nice. The animation this season is consistently very pretty. #random rambles

the greens, as of right now "work" because they're all messily swimming in this cesspool of fucked up family dynamics. The kids each have their own hangups and gimmicks.

With this in mind, They gotta make daeron different enough from his siblings so that he's not just blending into the background and they also need to make him rounded enough so that the audience can see how he "fits" in to their dynamic

personally i wouldn't mind seeing unhinged, delusional, gay/bi, religious Daeron for this reason. it sets him apart so that he can stand as his own character and it's a fun characterization that i could easily see fitting into the green family.

#look. the nice cute innocent daeron who is cuddly and loveable are all enjoyable but it's a very flat characterization that gets boring fast #i want my The Night That Ended by eldritcher delusional devoted religious warrior Daeron okay ahdjfjsk #Daeron Targaryen #Daeron the Daring #HotD #HotD Greens #it's a pipedream really bc i think they're gonna go the generic 'nice sweet charming charismatic daeron who is loved by everyone' persona #which is fine!!! but i do think they could work more to make him interesting and fleshed out even if he only gets like 3 mins of screentime. #it was enough for helaena in s1 to at least give her some concrete personality traits. same w aegond who had like 15 mins total

[sw-trashship]

I do like Maid Marian's character in the movie but i still have so many troubles with her character. I wish she was more open about what she thought about Prince Jonh's greedy actions towards the town people, that she's in love with Robin doesn't mean anything. Even Lady Kluck openly hated him but Maid Marian was so weirdly polite at him during her little interactions with him that you couldn't tell what she thinks about it. It's like the only think on her head was marry Robin. (But tbh i can't blame her for that.)

#i mean yeah she is a rich woman that wouldn't need to work and lives in such old times #so i kinda gets that she thinks all time about the most perfect man in all fiction but still #give her lines about politics #GOD EVEN SKIPPY HAD MORE SCREENTIME AND WAS PART ON THE ALMOST DEATH SCENE OF ROBIN WHY SHE WAS SO ASIDE FROM THAT??? #yeah it's good for me bc i can put my self insert easily in those scenes without worry about her #BUT AS A FAN OF THE MOVIE IS SO FRUSTRATING GIVE HER SCREENTIME

[crystalbehindthescenes]

its not that I dislike 90s Rei cus she's "not like her manga counterpart at all." i dislike 90s Rei cus shes rude and catty, even worse so in the DiC dub too. If Manga Rei had that persinality (she does kinda get it later) I'd still dislike her cus I hate these kind of characters.

Manga Rei is just harder to like as well but for a different reason: shes supposedly hard to read, which can make a character hard to like relate to or at least just Like. but that's an issue cus she doesn't have enough screentime to determine who she is as a character.

sometimes my dislike for the 90s is not cus "its not like the manga at all!" sometimes its deeper like,, the characterization and writing sucks ass sometimes.

#she can be rude sometimes but shes rude 90% of the dMn series and targets usagi specifically cus the writers think usagi crying is funny #i cant remember where but i remember someone say manga rei is a kuudere while 90s is a tsundere and like #nah kuudere shit is more Hotaru #also I hate Deres as a concept they feel very one dimensional for describing certain characters #aka any girl character in Evangelion fsivnreg #like calling asuka a tsundere does nothing to describe her character or her arc #anyway 90s rei however is so mean esp early on she is by definition a tsundere cus they got nothing goin for them exdept their cattiness #like i get it they went with it cus Aries with an AB bloodtype would basically be a catty hothead but like #idk they couldve toned it down way sooner i feel they only did it bg ssason 4 cus #1) she no longer had the screentime reallg #2) SuperS focused on ChibiUsa than Usagi and even then Chibs kinda replaces Rei on the bullying part #3) Seiya then replaces both Mamoru #Chibs and Rei when it comes to bullying Usagi #toei really can only write One Character huh #like they really just had Usagi get bullied a lot cus for 200 eps they thought her feelings getting hurt is comedy #the materials collection again gives us her zodiac and bloodtype to help determine her personality but thats not enough its still vague #but that's not enough cus those 2 pseudo science things are broad and vague for a reason #and can still point to 90s Rei's personality which i dont want #plus the materials collection kinda describes the girls persinalities as basicallg theyre so pretty youll love them #which like your attractiveness is not a personality! #and i know crystal cut some panels out for Rei in S1 but those small scenes she was catty and rude #and then shes just never like that ever again until she and Minako have their moments later on #like i think Crystal also wanted to avoid the extreme rudeness but at the detriment of cutting Reis scenes out entirely #losing her screentime she alreadh had very little of #Ah you know how Naoko has issue writing Michiru cus her personality is something she wasn't familiar with? #Yea thats me with Rei cus what I have in mind for Rei is Basically Michiru 2.0 #prim proper rich girl kinda thing but I do actually like Michiru cus of that and I don't wanna take from her #manga rei also wouldnt be a himedere miss ohohoho

Have u watched stranger things?

I have. All seasons. I watched season 4 the second it went up on Netflix (both parts) and I gotta say that I didn't like it that much 😭😭

#Eddie was ok he wasnt anything special to me he just existed #im SO glad they didnt bring Billy back like i thought they would from the trailer #but i gotta say one of STs biggest upside for me was that it was a mystery right but like all that mystery is gone this season idk I #couldve just gone the entire show without knowing Eleven's exact past #also its starting to get a bit repetitive #my fav character this season was Enzo thats like how bland this season felt to me personally #i liked that they attempted to give Lucas more character development and screentime though that was good #Max was good #Steve was good #Robin felt... idk off to me? she lost a bit of the edge she had in s3 that made her character enjoyable but i dont dislike her soft side #idk where to start with Nancy and Johnathan #Will and Mike were so boring im so sorry Argyle saved it all #i LOVED murray and joyce even if i didnt exactly think the hopper plotline was necessary #i genuinely enjoyed the heist scenes

Miriam.

Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.

Would be hilarious if I overexamined all her scenes to write about why she's such a cool character....

#Sayaka Maizono had more screentime than her... #And I'm head over heels for this lovely nurse... #Anyway I need to give the biggest kiss to Miriam because <333333

#okay rant time lol. spoilers for 6x18 #i think i will have to say that this may have been my least favourite of all 6b episodes #haha ik i should probably give myself time to process the episode but idk i'd rather just write everything out #i just. just yesterday i was complaining about some people treating 911 like it's the buck show and today... it was the buck show? #and like! an episode being extra focused on one character is absolutely fine!! great even!! i really enjoyed 6x11!! #but in the season finale you expect each character to get a more equitable amount of focus right? #and like. even 4x14 which had a significantly less focus on eddie than one might expect had the will scene #and maddie had a bit less focus in that episode too but even she quit her job and it was obvious she was Going Through Stuff #and these slightly restricted screentimes gave jumping off points for their respective very spectacular s5 arcs #but this episode? like it wasn't that it didn't focus on other characters but it was mostly buck #and... idk man it does make sense given that he had the longest running plotlines this season but also #i just wish we had focused more on other characters as well #and like? as for buck? the couch? #i'll be honest i'm disappointed they introduced romance this season for buck at all when the season began with him choosing to be single #i really thought he wouldn't date at all for this one season at least yk? #and yeah ik we live in an amatonormative world but cmooon a guy can have his happy ending without getting together with someone #also bucktalia feels a little odd to me rn especially given the number of false starts they had #if they'd done this exact same storyline but at the beginning of next season i'd probably love it... right now tho i'm very meh over it #as in there is potential but it's like... idk mannnn why do we need him to end up with someone at allllll... i'm too aro for this shit #starting something new this close to the end of the season instead of tying off the two arcs that were already ongoing for him #was certainly a choice #aah well. at least natalia seems good for him. she came back which is the most important thing buck would want in a partner right? #still tho. i really wish we'd gotten to know more about the new henren baby than we did #i wish we'd gotten to see madney discussing plans instead of just the exact moment where they decide they want to marry on the patio #i wish we'd gotten the entire conversation that lead up to chris hyping (or snarking at) eddie to call marisol #i wish we'd gotten bathena hurriedly packing for their trip and may making fun of them as she helps #i just wish we'd gotten more of others!! #oh well. at least we still got chimney time and captain hen and cheddie working together and hen and eddie leaning on each other #you win some you lose some i guess #anyways if you actually read all the way til down here thank you for your time hehe

Do I need to have a talk with Japan about all the Atticus erasure that's been going on for nearly 20 years, literally since season 2? Because quite frankly it's unacceptable and I'm sick of it.

#YOU DONE MAKE A CHARACTER THAT IMPORTANT AND THEN PRETEND THEY DON'T EXIST 98% OF THE TIME 😭 #Also PLEASE S T O P giving Blair ALL of the screentime and narrative roles that should've been Atty's 😭 #I'd gladly accept Alexis being the only consistently present girl if Atty got what he was fucking due #god i have to sit down and work on my rewrites again because I started thinking about this again now I'm pissed #listen nothing against Blair but also everything against Blair when we could’ve had Atty during the Zombie Apocalypse arc #and it would've been a better choice. it would’ve raised the stakes because he's closer to the group than she is. also Alexis was there so #anyway my version of the show treats Atty with some goddamn respect 🙄 #yugioh #yugioh gx #atticus rhodes #fubuki tenjoin #abby's just rambling don't mind her #the same could be said for Bakura in the anime too #at least they both get shown some fucking respect in the managas because fuck 😤 #at least Bakura gets more respect and screentime than Atty does I mean good for him I guess 😭

destiny has. a lot of characters huh

#shame it cant balance them better LMAO #destiny 2 #reminder that we havent heard from elsie since beyond light #and that crow has had the spotlight for. like 5 seasons in a row #where is ana. where is drifter. where is SHIRO-4 #WHERE IS THE EMISSARY WASNT THERE SOMETHING GOING ON WITH HER #SOMEONE GO CHECK ON ADA-1 SHE MIGHT BE DEAD OR SMTH #like okay. real talk i appreciate that the storytelling has gotten more... linear? #and i dont actually think that you should give character the spotlight just because they havent had screentime in a while #thats not a great way to tell a story #but i WOULD like to say that there are a lot of characters with a lot of plotlines #and so far i dont see why some get to be around for a year and a half while others arent even mentioned #idk im just complaining for the sake of it dont take this too seriously lol

[torterragarden]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again it should have been Marnie helping Hop and the player in the post game instead of Piers

#i like piers but there's really no reason it had to be him #marnie wouldn't have much reason to be there either i guess but like at least she could have gotten more screentime that way #and we could have learned a little more about how she feels about being a gym leader #and how she plans to help spikemuth #like give her literally anything oh my god #also because of this piers and bede have interacted but marnie and bede literally never do :) #sage plays shield

[demilypyro]

So I've seen a few too many people on twitter talking about The Kiss Scene from the new Scott Pilgrim anime. People saying it's fetishistic and indulgent, people calling it male gazey, etc. And while the kiss itself is certainly a bit exaggerated, I felt like writing a bit about why I disagree, and why context is important, like it always is. But it basically turned into an extended analysis on the metatextual treatment of Roxie Richter. So bear with me. It's a long post.

What really matters about this scene is not the kiss itself, but what precedes it. Not even just the fight scene just before it, but what precedes the whole anime series, really. And that's the Scott Pilgrim comic book, and the live action movie. Because in both, Roxie is a punchline.

She's a joke. Her character starts and ends with "one of the exes is actually a girl, I bet you didn't expect that." Jokes are made about Ramona's latent bisexuality, the movie especially treating it as funny and absurd, and her validity as a romantic interest is entirely written off by Ramona as being "just a phase." There's a fight scene, she's defeated by a man giving her an orgasm which implicitly calls her sexuality into question (come on), and the movie just moves on. It sucks. It really, really sucks.

The comic fares a little better. It never veers into outright homophobia like the movie does, and while the line about Ramona having gone through a phase remains, Roxie actually gets one over on Scott when Ramona briefly gets back with Roxie. But Roxie is still only barely a character. Like all the other evil exes, she's just a stepping stone towards the male protagonist's development. She barely even gets any screentime before she's defeated by Scott's "power of love." But Roxie stands out, since she's the only villain who is queer, or at least had been confirmed queer at that point (hi Todd). In a series that champions multiple gay men in the supporting cast, the single undeniable lesbian in the story is a villain. She's labeled as evil, made fun of, pushed aside in favor of the men, and then discarded. Her screentime was never about her, or her feelings for Ramona. It was about the straight, male protagonist needing to overcome her. And that was Roxie Richter. An unfortunate victim of the 2010s.

Fast forward to current year, and the new anime series is announced. Everybody sits down to watch the new series expecting another retelling of the same story, and.... hang on, that straight male protagonist I mentioned just died in the first episode. And now it's humanizing the villains from the original story. And there's Roxie, introduced alongside the other evil exes in the second episode, and she's being played entirely straight, without a punchline in sight. No jokes are made about her gender, no questions are made of her validity as one of Ramona's romantic interests. The narrative considers her important. In one episode, she already gets more respect than she did in either of the previous iterations of Scott Pilgrim. And this isn't even her focus episode yet... which happens to be the very next one.

The anime series goes to great lengths to flesh out the original story's villains and to have Ramona reconcile with them. And I don't think it's a coincidence that Roxie gets to go first. While Matthew Patel gets his development in episode 2, Roxie is the first to directly confront Ramona, now our main protagonist. This is notable too because it's the only time the exes are encountered out of order. Roxie is supposed to be number 4, but she's first in line, and later on you realize that she's the only one who's out of sequence. She's the one who sets the precedent for the villains being redeemed. She's the most important character for Ramona to reconcile with.

What follows is probably the most extensive, elaborate 1 on 1 fight scene in the whole show. Roxie fights like a wounded animal, her motions are desperate and pained. Ramona can only barely fight back against her onslaught. Different set-pieces fly by at breakneck speed as Roxie relentlessly lays her feelings at Ramona's feet through her attacks and her distraught shouts. And unlike the comic or the movie, Ramona acknowledges them, and sincerely apologizes. And the two end up just laying there, exhausted, reminiscing about when they were together.

Only after this, after all of this, does the kiss scene happen. Roxie has been vindicated, she has reconciled with the person who hurt her, the narrative has deemed that her anger is justified and has redeemed her character. And she gets her victory lap by making the nearest other hot girl question her heterosexuality, sharing a sloppy kiss with her as the music triumphantly crescendos.

It's... a little self-congratulatory, honestly. But it's good. It's redemption for a character who had been mistreated for over a decade. And she punctuates the moment by being very, very gay where everyone can see it, no men anywhere in sight. Because this is her moment. And then she leaves the plot, on her own accord this time, while humming the hampster dance. What a legend. How could anything be wrong with this.
