[koiryuu]

i watched the 2007 rgg movie tonight just to see what its like and i have a lot to say about it but for now i just doodled my favorite scene bc i could not handle it

#ryu ga gotoku #yakuza #overall my thoughts about it were that it was very funny but mostly in the ways it wasnt supposed to be #the casting was.... mostly bad honestly #kiryu's actor's face made me SO MAD he just pissed me off every time i saw him #he looked like some slick asshole i hated him #he didnt move or emote like kiryu either like that was straight up a different man #majima looked... not good. and sounded worse. BUT. his actor really fucking gave it his all #he was acted very well and conveyed majima perfectly i think. many good majima moments this was but one of them #funniest part by far was the nishiki reveal tho. MY GOD. he looked SO EXCEPTIONALLY BAD. #i was laughing for five solid minutes i had to pause and take a picture #my cheeks fucking hurt laughing at nishiki. dear lord. im very sorry to his actor he just. LOOKED. REALLY BAD. SORRY. #there were also so many random people i spent half the movie going who the FUCK is that?? #overall it was like. if you never played the game you wouldnt understand it. #if you DID play the game.... you wouldnt understand it. also you would hate it. #who was this for??? idk. but im glad i watched it. #actually the throat-sitting scene singlehandedly saved the entire movie. my god. holy fuck. holy shit. oh my god. #they should do that in the game. ill combust into flames. #ok thats all <3

was rewatching the pilot again yesterday for fic reasons and thinking again about the sherlock-style screen annotations they had when barry was doing CSI work that they literally only did in the first ep and then never revisited again, presumably because they realized it'd be far too much effort to work out the details on such a precise level

and thinking about like. that barry allen with the hyper-precise exact measurements that he did by eye (with joe shaking his head in awe so you know that he's a CSI supergenius) vs. the leonard snart who timed his heists to the exact nanosecond (which again, presuming they ditched because it's a logistical nightmare to write dialogue that nitpicky and obsessive, and would be such a fucking pain to do on a week-to-week basis). like. yet another reason they are soulmates tbh. is audhd4autistic a thing the same way t4t is a thing? if it isn't then i'm making it a thing

#never noticed it before i became obsessed w autism but pilot barry is SCREAMING “stereotypical tv depiction of white male autistic savant” #like even the cadence of his speech and the level of clumsiness and social awkwardness was ramped up to an 11 in the pilot #literally i only watched half the ep and he accidentally bumped into like 4 people. #like... the lack of spatial awareness... he's so me. they really did go “the speedforce cured his appalling proprioception" #part of me is glad they dialled some of it back cos like. tv loooves to code characters as autistic in that very specific #way that's like. a big old stereotype. but then be like “wdym you interpret him as autistic. disgusting that you'd say that. die.” #but idk i also kinda liked it... again im ultimately glad they didn't stick w the sherlock-style annotation bc it would make writing casefi #SO much more difficult than it already is just in terms of like. how do you show that kind of thought process in a non-visual medium #in a way that's not incredibly boring and info-dumpy? #but i do have a soft spot for like. early seasons disaster barry allen who can't walk across a flat surface without crashing into something #and has no idea how to have a normal human conversation #my meta

there's something so dismal about how so much of tv fandom's energy nowadays seems to go towards trying to prove to big corporations that their show is good enough to save. like whenever a new episode or series comes out it's "remember to watch it all in 24 hours or it won't get renewed!" "play it on repeat for a month or else it'll become another piece of lost media!" "don't stop talking and posting about it during the hiatus or else this season that's already in production might not air!" "if this tag trends on twitter for long enough we might get eight episodes instead of six!!!" it feels less like we're enjoying a show that so many people worked hard on and more like we're trying to create rituals to please the gods (which replace gods with The Algorithm and you're not far off).

like i haven't even been involved in fandom for that long but even just seven or so years ago if a show did well enough that it was nominated for awards and trending on twitter and having well attended comic con panels then it would be renewed for at least a season or two. and back then being renewed for another season meant "we're for sure going to get a new season next year!" with almost no possibility of cancelation. and even shows that did just okay ratings wise would easily get 5+ seasons.

and it was more fun. when i was watching Doctor Who or Arrowverse or whatever in 2014 i could enjoy and critique the media itself instead of constantly being nervous about whether the next season will be cashed in for nostalgia bait or have its episode count cut or be postponed for three years or just outright canceled because it was slightly less popular than last year. like the fandom would still stress out over potential bad narrative choices or whatever but we would also get excited about the future.

maybe it's just my own perceptions but i just tend to find myself favoring fandoms for shows (or at least eras, i'm looking at you Doctor Who) that have been completed. i like Good Omens and Our Flag Means Death and Strange New Worlds and Percy Jackson and the Olympians and the latest Doctor Who era but i just find it hard to get invested when there's so much anxiety around if there will be a future to those shows and so much of the fandom activity revolves around that anxiety. and then as a result when the show does end for good (whether through cancelation or design) the fandom starts to fade away too because so much of it was based on the temptation of The Future.

and i'm also quick to admit that production in pre-streaming era shows had their own problems (once popular shows running for 15 seasons and jumping the shark just because it's a cash cow, tampered down diversity in the interest of "popular appeal", the whole quantity over quality issue, etc) but at least the fandoms were more optimistic and focused on the story itself instead of just being angry about the eternal potential of cancelation or outright deletion.

(also there are obviously much larger issues to the streaming model re: residuals and everything else brought up during the wga and sag strikes but that's all been said much more coherently so i'm just speaking from my own perspective as a fan. and even then there's still definite overlap between the fandom anxiety over renewal and the real world economic anxiety for people involved with production over "will we have a job/be paid". it's far too early to tell but i really hope the strikes will help to solve this problem.)

#and not even to once again bring up the problems with serializing nearly every show #and how that means what would have been a few minor quibbles and problems are now baked into the formula of a show #and how that contributes to the fandom anxiety around inconsistency between seasons #idk if im saying anything new but ive just been thinking about this with how i feel like the anxiety around prodigy's future #is stopping me from getting more invested in the show/fandom #same with the new doctor who era. i love fifteen so far but i cant stop being So Nervous when fandom is the place i come to relax #anyways im very glad that i watched and got invested in Picard after s3 started airing or else i would have the same problem #idk what to tag this as #fandom stuff #my posts #also not even to talk about how streaming models have made it so much harder to watch things internationally without pirating #like i used to just be able to buy most international stuff on itunes or dvd and have it in perpetuity #but now i drive to canada and cant access things i paid for and fuck you if you dont live in a country where that streaming service works

nobody here really cares about my object show opinions im sure but just to toss my Coin Opinion into the Hat Internet. feel like its weird to try and paint cabby as wrong for spending so much time taking notes on people when it was established not too long ago that she cant remember most things if she doesnt write them down

#i feel like the 'what if i forget' / 'then ill tell you again' line was supposed to be sweet but it just came off as. like idk meanspirited #like i get it bot hates other people defining them thats basically the only thing they talk about as a character #but i think maybe in this situation specifically they need to kind of get over it #i feel like im still watching ii out of obligation cause i still wanna see how it ends. season 3's been pretty mid all the way through tbh #inanimate insanity spoilers #ii spoilers #unrelated to the cabby thing but trying to act like balloon and nickel were the same level of awful to each other is. so weird. #why are they dancing around so much what nickel did to suitcase. like ok thanks nickel im soo glad you're trying to be better now but. #but can we talk about the person who you caused so much stress she started having paranoid hallucinations #like can we bring that up please #anyway. looking forward to tpot i love tpot #brifdi

i dont think anon was referring to sps simple style, sp is a pretty controversial show. from what i've seen, it seems pretty bigoted? i could be wrong. sorry if this ask is rude, i don't mean to be rude, but yeah i think that's what anon meant

Oh no, not rude at all!! Sorry you have to apologize my response to that anon was a lot more srs than I intended I just wanted to get my point across, I'm all for open discussions :] to answer the bigoted question, I wouldn't entirely say no. but I can say that South Park was not made to make fun of minorities and spread harmful messages. The show presents bigoted behavior from the antagonists who are too stupid to realize they're wrong, it's up to you as the audience to realize that what they are the antagonists and that their actions should not be justified and supported. And even then, there are characters who outwardly speak out and work to fight against said bigots in the episodes they're in. However, the show also relies on shock humor. And this is a criticism on the fans part, but they really gotta stop saying "why are you surprised? It's South Park" as if being surprised over something gross or offensive wasn't the point in the first place. The ridiculous shit in the show isn't supposed to be normalized!! It's supposed to be absolutely ridiculous to the audience and catch them off guard!! You're not supposed to get used to it!! You're not supposed to like it, but you're not supposed to read too deep in it either, breaking down why it's wrong and why you found it shocking and why this is SUPER PROBLEMATIC!! Isn't the point. You just gotta acknowledge that "oh that's fucked up I cant believe they did that, that is so wrong" and just sit in shock for a bit and move on. Like, you can't tear the show apart for one joke when its purpose was for you to realize it's supposed to be ridiculous and wrong at the same time, and the show itself being aware of that fact. A lot of the offensive material circulating around on why South Park is bad lacks context. Cartman and Butters dressing up as chinese stereotypes? They are at a normal Chinese restaurant, harassing a Chinese family because they're idiots who believe that china will overthrow the world, they are asked to leave. Ike in a relationship with his teacher? Ike is a victim of a grooming that is not taken seriously by the police because the predator was a woman, portraying how male victims situations are overlooked in real life, the teacher dies in the end. Randy saying the N-word on live television? He is ridiculed and seen as a total asshole, he gets called "N-word guy" by the people around him and retaliates by making it illegal to call him that name, a satirical role reversal portraying the hypocrisy and sensitivity of white people (oppressors) where they make the "slur" against them illegal but not the slurs against the people they have oppressed for years.

But even after all this, I can see that there are other examples that I can't, and I am not willing to justify. At the end of the day, we all have to acknowledge that South Park was made by two cishet white men. (this was why I said I can't entirely say no) Their opinions will not always be right, and I'm sick of fans trying to justify some of their episodes and jokes just because they like South Park, South Park is not one of those shows you want to ride or die on. I personally have a few jokes and episodes I dislike and will absolutely never watch again, but that is not my main focus. Discrimination is not my draw, and I don't think that's the show's either. Now we're going out to discussion territory and more of personal opinion. I personally enjoy South Park because I feel very drawn to the characters and I find their character driven adventures and antics to be really entertaining. I don't care much for the social commentary. Not that I completely ignore it, it's just something I acknowledge is important in some episode's narratives, but not something I pay too close attention to.

I don't think I watch South Park for the intended reasons, and I don't think most of the fans over here on Tumblr do either. I can admit that I enjoy a version of South Park that isn't technically South Park entirely. I enjoy South Park for what it isn't, and that is a situational comedy with four little guys getting into all sorts of trouble <3

And the funny thing about this whole post is that I used to be a South Park hater.

I thought it was just a bigoted show where the only jokes it had were slurs and children saying fuck, right before I actually gave it a chance and was surprised to find out that it was more than I thought it was, and that I actually somehow enjoyed it.

It's kinda crazy to me that I'm technically defending SOUTH PARK of all things right now.

But uh yeah, I like South Park, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was, and I ended up hyperfixating on it. I'm not here to change anyone's mind and make them watch South Park because "it's ACTUALLY spotless and politically correct all the time, you're just sensitive ☝🤓" People are right to label South Park as controversial, and people are right to be offended by it when it's making fun of something it doesn't understand or without the proper nuance, and people are allowed to discuss and criticize the show for it. With all that said, The show is not emblematic of its own fans, and some of its own fans need to stop looking up to it like it's the bible.

Matt and Trey can be wrong, and even fans like me who enjoy it aren't too dumb and ignorant to recognize and rightfully not be in support of certain aspects of it when a line is being crossed.

This whole thing was supposed to end right after I attached the photo of the characters, but then I just decided to write more and so I puked this extra fluff out, sorry about that lol

#taikko asks #me and my homies hate matt and trey meatriders sorry 👎 #<- the meatriders who defend them at every turn and justify everything they do. theyre grown ass cishet white men dude #meatriders who just have a crush on them.....you do you idc its none of my business LOL #SORRY YALL THIS IS LONG #do not ask me about my opinions (walls of text that is too long) #im new to the fandom/south park in general but i watched the whole series already so sorry if this screams 'NEW FAN!!' #be GLAD im a new fan i was too young and impressionable to watch it before #do NOT let 13 year old mikyomix near south park EVER #i dont usually write essays or stuff this long idk if i did good or not lol #south park

I have mixed feelings all around about the live action atla but like honestly, I'm very disappointed in Zuko's scar. Where's the scar tissue, the disfigured eye lids, why is his eyebrow still there, where is the Drama of it all. Like it kinda just looks like they sprayed on a bit red makeup and half-assed some veins, put some prosthetics on his face plsss. (Edit: after further studying, I do see some bubbling of the skin so I will give them that, they tried in a way, but I still wish there was more going on) They want to be accurate to the original show and yet are too scared to make Zuko "unattractive" 🙄 He better be bald underneath that helmet.

#idk if its just cause im not excited about everything goin on with expanding the avatar property that im looking for stuff to be upset about #but its just. doesnt look very good #i do find aang looking so young very jarring but also so fun like yes that is a 12 year old deal with it #and the casting in general seems fine like katara is cute im not touching sokka but i appreciate the brown eyes #i was not looking forward to blue contacts so im glad with that #idk idk idk its whatever ill probably watch it unless it like super bad who knows #atla #avatar the last airbender

Yamato from One Piece is canonically a trans man therefore Yamato from Naruto is also canonically a trans man

kjghskjgdhs i know u are being silly but there's actually plenty of canon material to support a trans reading of Tenzō, and its a reading of the text which is near + dear to my heart

#yamswers #shranstan #obviously i post abt transmasculine yamato bc thats both what im more qualified to talk abt + aligns the easiest w/ his pronouns #in canon translations...but the evidence for trans yamato is not specifically gendered. transfem genderqueer nb agender readings are all #equally possible readings bc evidence 4 trans readings r not focused on his body or discussion of gender but his experience of identity #well. it is also focused on his body but not in a gender way. just in a ''biologically im treated as something other than who i am'' #anyway #the situation with yamato(Op) is absolutely fascinating tho. ill probably never watch/read one piece BUT #every once + a while i poke into the yamato(Op) tag to see how everyones doing + how theyre reacting to the text #i often wonder what oda was thinking when he made yamato(Op)...what compelled him. u know? #yamato(Op) is an interesting piece of trans ''representation'' (in quotes bc idk how well a cis man can ''represent'' a trans man w/o help) #and ultimately im glad that yamato(Op) exists! but the fandom reactions are interesting. both the cis and trans reactions #i have a lot of thoughts on this. aj has had to listen to most of them

home school is frustrating to watch not because the show is bad (i love the show i have so many thoughts) but because despite the wildly different reasons (and stakes and intensity), seeing the education institution systems making students do things without any explanation or logic or reason just because they can and being absolutely unreasonable is very real of them.

#home school #vi.txt #i did not plan to watch this show to think about the horrors of school 💀 #idk man was it just me who has never enjoyed school/college #despite it apparently being the 'best time of life' #i have always hated school/college have always hated exams (in a they give me panic attacks kinda way) #have always hated the rules and have always hated the administration #and have always hated most of the teachers who have so much influence but they are so careless about it 🤷‍♀️ #have always been ​annoying and frustrating and deeply triggering and depressing for me #have never once wanted to live the dorm/hostel life and being made feel left out about it #i was recently talking about how im glad ill never have to go to college or give an exam again because i've finally started working #and he shared the common sentiment of no working is extremely hard and college was better etc etc #and i agree working isn't easy at all in this capatalist world BUT i did not have one moment of peace when i was in school/college #and here atleast i do what i enjoy im not overburdened to memorise i have flexibility i get money and i get weekends!!!! #better among the worst types #anyways watch homeschool
