If I said that Jigsaw by Conan Gray would be the perfect song to make an apprentice edit to would that be too on the nose or-?

#listened to that album today and got to that song and went ‘oh this is so Amanda’ #and then I thought how it could apply to all of the apprentices when you think about it (aka tilt your head and make it wanna fit like me) #unfortunately I have never tried making an amv or edit and I genuinely have 0 time to learn rn but. please see the vision #amanda young #lawrence gordon #mark Hoffman #Logan Nelson #(yes I’m including him because I want to. in my version of him in my head he fits the song) #saw series #saw franchise #sawposting #saw #white weasel talks

oh my god what is wrong with this fandom sometimes. just bc we're in the second half of splatoon 3's update cycle now doesn't mean the game is dying and nintendo is horrible and all that... look, i get side order was kinda disappointing, but in all fairness i don't think people had the right expectations of it either. it was never going to be like oe because oe had way more building up to it and side order just... doesn't. and that's okay! okay, guys? okay. literally just chill out, step away from your phone, and take a walk. splatoon 3 is fine. the world is not ending. there will most certainly be a splatoon 4 because nintendo wants to make more money. relax. seriously, relax.

#splatoon #number 1 thing ive learned in the past few years? #media companies would rather burn a profitable franchise to the ground rather than let it end #yes this applies to nintendo #and honestly i think its pretty hasty to think of a splatoon 4 tbh #i dunno #im just sad cuz like #i joined the fandom when everyone was hyped for s3 and now its like #everyone is just so goddamn NEGATIVE all the time #i really hate it #so this is my psa to PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CHILL OUT

So I actually pivoted to rewatching resident evil 2 remake cuz I realized. It’s been so long and I’m just a casual RE enjoyer, I don’t really remember anything about the plot. And I can appreciate Leon’s character progression a lot more now, cuz I forgot how… like… naive and simple? He is. Bro realizes america is owned by corporations and that law enforcement has no real power… like no shit dude omg 💀💀 but i bet it really does reflect the ideals and propaganda people who join the force or law enforcement are influenced to believe in

#resident evil #also like #Leon is like hatsune Miku to me #in that he has become more of a concept #cuz he is just like. a figure you put into all sorts of memes and it doesn’t even make sense #I can’t say he’s stupid tho cuz I cannot be bothered to apply my mind to the weird puzzles in this franchise #truly resident evil just always does its own thing and I appreciate that #ok I felt like I was a bit mean to him bc I DO like how. purely honourable he is. moral compass kind of guy

I really think the best way to consume doctor who extended universe media (especially the books) is to treat it as officially licensed fan fiction. Like sure they have the rights to use these characters, but also there’s a very high likelihood that none of this will come up in the show so if you don’t agree you can just call it not canon and move on

#like the stuff said definitely adds to the universe but also it’s like one person saying their opinion on how stuff works in a franchise #that’s been around for sixty years #there’s so much content it starts to contradict itself #all of this applies to show as well #I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again doctor who canon is a suggestion at best #(this rant is because I don’t think the doctor would choose to be called the doctor before graduating the academy) #(I have opinions on time lord names but that’s besides the point) #doctor who #dw #dweu #dw eu #doctor who extended universe #the doctor #big finish #divided loyalties

“so sad being a harry potter fan/jkr stan and a transphobe pick a struggle” ok but how’s it a struggle? ?? because weird losers i don’t know will try to bully me on the internet ??? y’all are just smug because you were nobody in high school and now you feel like you win at life because you have internet clout from tweens and perverted adult men plus the duds who jumped on the bandwagon because they have zero values and beliefs of their own …. like stop projecting i promise no one gives a fuck that you’re “different” it’s still annoying and your green shaved head and mushroom tattoo aren’t punk or even really that cool at all….get a grip fr …anyways i’m gonna struggle by A) being objectively right and B) enjoying my childish stories that have no shortage of material (and more on the way!) to keep me entertained

#feminism #jk rowling #harry potter #this applies to everyone #males and females #gay or not #trans identified or not #like so much if this movement is deadass made up of people who were unpopular in high school. and now they get off on being internet famous #and i was a huge loser in high school too so this isn’t some stance on social hierarchy #it’s just the kids who never got over not being cool when it actually meant something #so they’re trying to make it mean something now #and the saddest thing is that you’re still losers #and the biggest tell is that followers will always remain neutral #favouring the side of the cool people #hence the male he amount of silent so called allies #they’re gonna switch sides when this one goes under i’m afraid #anyways like it’s always the people who want attention who are the worst about this stuff #like i’m a huge harry potter fan. i was not popular in high school. people barely knew who i was #that is not something that was cool in the 2010s #but i’m still a fan and i’m not ashamed of that because i’m not just gonna flop on my interests and principles #and i’m not gonna let some weirdo who probably does actual weird shit make me feel bad about like one of the most beloved book franchises #of all time #when they were prob the types of weirdos having orgies under the stairs and grooming eachother and speaking japanese they learned from anime #anyways. i don’t know im just rambling im mad and tired and all seething and i want to bully someone about it

I saw someone talking about this post on Twitter and I had to check it myself because I couldn't believe such bullcrap could be real- what the fuck is this person on 💀

#Ngl saying that Clankie “applies to the male gaze” makes YOU sound like a creep #These two are literal teenagers from a perfectly healthy and wholesome kids' show. What is your problem #Also “representation is always good” while misgendering Frankie and dismissing all sapphic couples in media ever sure is a statement #And since when are Frankie and Cleo side characters?? 🤨 Have you watched the show or are you even familiar with the franchise at all #Also they censored the word “lesbian” on tiktok. Like it's a cuss word or a slur #Monster high #Update: tagging this because this mf needs to be called out

i am so tired of fandoms who cant take their shipping goggles off for five seconds i am so tired of people trying to make everything about romance when its not i am so tired of people being so desperate to find a ship for every single character even if there are no reasonable options for them i am so tired of characters being written like completely different people for the sake of a ship i am so tired of people acting like the only meaningful relationships characters can have with eachother are romantic ones i am so tired of people only seeing certain characters as half of their ship and not caring about them in any other context Sorry for being a hater but i have had enough

#im mostly complaining about sonic fans here but im sure this applies to many other things too #and im not saying shipping is bad i have my ships i like too i joke about sonic and knuckles being gay all the time but like #why is that so many peoples main priority #especially with franchises like sonic that are not about romance at all #idk i just dont get how people can only care about the shipping side of things when theres so many other things to explore #like friendships and the worldbuilding and all that #hell shipping brainrot gets so bad with sonic fans that people take relationships that are clearly meant to be familial #and try to make it into a romance thing i Hate it here

Kamen Rider is an experience to get into as a bi or pan person because there's such an absurdly high amount of hot people in it. You are assailed from any and all directions

#this franchise truly has my bi ass under attack at all times #This honestly applies to toku in general but Kamen Rider is especially where my toku brainworms are at #this was in my drafts for a while and I will let it be free now because I do need to clean them #linky posts #kamen rider

Just saw Joker described as a '2nd year' in the P5 Tactica information, which is gaaaaaaaaaaaaaah--

I swear, for a series with a message of moving forward, Persona (see: Atlus) sure loves to avoid moving forward. Never mind complaints about more P5 content -- I'm here for side games and returning character storylines -- they are keeping the Phantom Thieves stuck in a Peter Pan state.

Where is that willingness to move forward that came with the P4 Arena games? For the P3 and P4 kids? Man, just the P4G epilogue alone took us as far as Strikers did timeline-wise.

And speaking of Strikers, the sole actual sequel to P5? Evading or hiding half of the characters we'd be love to revisit, and generally dodging Royal's entire existence? Woof.

#don't mind me just salty that atlus keeps revisiting P5 YET REFUSES to close open threads or even acknowledge whole ass main characters #and just keeps doing these 'it might as well be a dream' games that feel like narrative bottle episodes #might I be completely off base and Tactica WILL add something new to the big picture? maybe. I'd love to be wrong. #I'm just getting worn out after half a decade of a slow burn tease that just keeps adding reasons to hold on with little to no payoff #hard to remain invested in a franchise when efforts to hold out hope OR let go and accept canon as it is could be undermined at any time #a lot akechi related BUT kasumi and the other thieves' royal-specific ambitions also apply. And all of the confidants I'd love to see again #What's going to happen to Morgana long term? Where will Ann end up? How will Ryuji's school transfer go? #What amazing new art might Yusuke make? What government is Futaba going to-- I mean uh what awesome career is she going to pursue? #What will Shinya look like a year out? Can I see Hifumi make a comeback? How's Mishima doing? Chihaya? #Can I see a Kawakami and Takumi NOT riddled with stress for a heartbeat? Some exploration of Jose??? #And the PERSONA 4 CREW! I have been waiting for them to get their 'P3 in Arena' treatment for forever and I am TIRED OF WAITING ATLUS #persona 5 tactica spoliers #maybe delete later #depends how salty this looks to me in a better mood

Making breakfast only to freeze up like a deer when the most wretched idea popped into my head and am now strapping myself to the couch because if I even glance at my laptop it is over for me.

#Telling myself that if I succumb to this madness there is no coming back from it. #I even scoured youtube and I'm shocked that no one's made this connection when there's entire YT personalities #that have made this their entire careers. #YOU GUYS IT'S RIGHT THERE. HOW HAVE YOU NOT PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER??? #but I guess applying literary analysis to a video game franchise isn't exactly common given how much research it'll require #especially if you're not already lost in the literary sauce I guess. #Good god the temptation is so STRONG...... #I'm either a genius or just insane tho I'm leaning towards the latter. #..... i feel like this would make a certain someone cry. #'You're reaching' you say. 'Yes' I retort #'But I can trace the lineage of genre evolution all the way back to the great 18th century Gothics #and by looking at the trope conventions--' #*distant sound of a piano crashing* #..... i may be slightly manic today

Are there any reanimated!Dan fics or do I need to force myself to write one?

Specifically like weird angsty fics but like reanimated!dan in general is just very cool to me as a concept. I feel like a lot could be done with that where you could like brainstorm different effects the reagent could have? Would he have to take the reagent every day from then on? If not is it still addictive in the way Herbert got addicted to it? Someone has almost certainly written something like this before, right?

#re animator #reanimator #danbert #maybe? #dan cain #herbert west #bride of reanimator #reanimated!dan #also no one who remained fully conscious and sane after taking the reagent really lived long enough to unpack all the implications #except for Herbert but he never died in the first place so it doesn’t count #I probably shouldn’t try to apply logic to a franchise that had dr hill’s body reanimated after only his head was injected #BUT.. #there’s a lot to think about there! #what tf would a healthy successful reanimated person look like? #DO THEY ROT? #oh god

Out of curiosity, where does the Cookie Run fandom generally stand in terms of the writing of the series, whether we’re talking about Ovenbreak, Kingdom or both?

Like, is it considered good, great, does is have good elements but there are some flaws in the execution, is the writing flawed but with some good bits here and there (basically the more negative version of the last one), is it just considered bad? What’s the consensus on the quality of the writing?

I’m pretty bad at judging for myself so I just want to know

#also judging the quality of the writing is useful for theory crafting #so you know how likely a series will go down a good or bad route with the potential plot points #I’m pretty sure we’re on the more positive end of the spectrum #but I can’t be sure #I don’t see a lot of things discussing the writing of this franchise #it’s usually about either analyzing a character or pointing out flaws in how the fandom reacts to/interprets a character #so I don’t really have a good grasp #I would love to know though #cookie run #cookie run kingdom #cookie run ovenbreak #I mean personally I enjoy the writing #and I like how we have characters with nuance and complexity to them (even if that doesn’t apply to all) #questions

I apologize in advance for the person I will become if capcom really does explore leon's pain and traumas in a deep and meaningful way in re4 remake

#jay talks #resident evil #it's all I have ever wanted #for him and for everyone else tbh #bc 'pain is all I have ever known' really does apply to everyone in this franchise #but like please give me completely broken and hurt leon yes yes
