Season 3 ending

So... It's been almost a week since the last episode, almost a week trying to wrap my head around the end of the show, trying to manage my feelings about it all.

It's hard to end up feeling the complete opposite of nearly everyone on my dash but I've come to terms with the fact that I didn't love the ending. I didn't love this last episode. (I shouldn't feel ashamed or weird for saying so but you guys loved it so much that I feel a bit like an outsider right now 😓)

I haven't been a fan of the show for as long as most of you, but it means so much to me. These characters carved a place in my heart and in my head, and they've made me happy for months now. They helped me get through some stuff, made me discover some amazing artists, meet even more amazing people through this fandom. And I loved the story. Even in its darkest, saddest parts, I loved it. I was invested.

I love Wilhelm and Simon, together and separately. They mean so much to me. And I loved season 1 and 2. It made me happy, and sad, and frustrated, and exalted. But overall, I trusted the show and I was not disappointed.

Season 3 was a lot. I liked the first 5 episodes. I can't say that I loved everything about them: I was not expecting things to get so hard for Simon, with no reprieve in sight. I was not worried about Wilmon being endgame (I know it was a big stress for the fandom but honestly I never doubted that they were endgame), but I was wondering how the show would go about tying all the knots it made (I should even say all the knots it added during this last season).

(Under a read more because it's a bit long and I don't want to bother those who don't wanna read more of my frustrated thoughts ^^')

And unfortunately the last episode was a huge let down for me. Yes, it's partly because nothing I was hoping for actually happened, but mostly, it's because the choices they made did not feel very satisfying to me: ⁕ Simon was barely there. We went from him being bullied online/offline non stop for 5 episodes to almost nothing. It makes 0 sense to me. ⁕ Kristina suddenly feeling better: she was having break down upon break down for an entire season, could barely look at her son or even just talk normally and all of a sudden she's back, smiling and agreeing to everything Wilhelm says? I'm sorry but I don't buy it? Where did this Kristina hid during the entire show? ⁕ Wilhelm deciding to not be king, talking for 3min to his parents about it, them agreeing and him running into the sunset with Simon. I'm sorry, what?? I love that they end up together of course, but it makes very little sense to me? It won't change any of the issues they had this season? They're still gonna be famous? And bullied online/offline? (Probably even more so now?). I'm not obviously saying that Wilhelm staying in line to become king was the only or the best solution, but I wanted more from this storyline. I wanted to believe it. And right now, what we got? It feels a bit cheap (and I feel bad for saying that because the ending was cute and romantic and all, but it felt too disconnected from the rest of the show for me ><)

And apart from these few points, the big issue I had with this episode was: The Angst. So that might be a me-problem, but it was too much for my poor little heart (I haven't rewatched the episode yet, and I'm not sure I'll be able to anytime soon ><). I spent like 40min of the episode with a huge knot in the stomach because the heartbreak between Simon and Wilhelm was too much to handle for me. I can see how it was beautifully made, that having lots of throwbacks to the previous seasons, the Wille song, all of that was great cinematography. But it was just too much for me. I got in the season spoiler-free but for this episode? During the lake scene I had to take a break and check online if they were actually endgame because it was starting to actually give me a stomachache. So yeah, this part might be me being too sensitive but I did not like that they made me see them fight for each other for 2 seasons and 5 episodes, but then just giving up for 40min before finally running back to each other during the last 10min. It was just too much sadness for me ><

So yeah, maybe my expectations were too high? But I feel sad, and kinda cheated. Too many things are left wide opened. Too many things make zero sense to me. And of course I'm happy we got our Wilmon endgame, but I'm less happy about how it happened.

It's a bit hard being on Tumblr right now and seeing everyone who thought it was the perfect episode >< And I don't want to "yuck anyone's yum" (as the saying goes), but I still wanna be able to share my thoughts! I probably won't write super angry/unhappy/complaining posts about the season/the finale, but I still wanna be able to chat about it. I did see some posts on my dash from people not being entirely satisfied with this ending so it's a bit comforting. And I hope we can share some nice headcanons, or just discussions about different plot points.

But yeah, I guess that's why I haven't really been active this week! Trying to get over the double heartbreak of the end of the show + being disappointed with the ending! I'm gonna come back though! I miss hanging out here, I just need to strengthen my heart a little bit more :p Gonna get back to writing about my thoughts episode by episode for this season (I can't promise I can rewatch the last one though 😖 It might take me a bit of time to get there). And I want to continue my song analysis of the show!! I'm not even done with season 2 yet, I have some work to do there ^^

So see you back here very soon 😘

dreaming about whales

#my art #printmaking #static #finally got an okay print. i ended up just mixing some acrylic paint with my white ink to get the colors I wanted #but yeah I literally have so many dreams that feature a big ass whale or shark or other large marine animal #and it always feels terrifying but they’re usually so gentle

[ferretwhomst]

alright guys. poll time

just wanted to ask because from what i can tell the gf fandom doesn't really seem to have a general fandom-wide consensus on this ship. rbs would be appreciated!!! also feel free to elaborate in the tags which option you chose and why! i'd love to hear people's reasoning :-)

#personally i have super mixed feelings on billford #people sometimes boil down their relationship to “haha they fight like a divorced couple” and yeah it's an easy generalization but #i really hate when people skip over the aspects of their dynamic which are Fucked Up #like... bill was abusive and manipulative to ford from the start. and ford was fucking OBSESSED with him #and his time with bill left a lasting mark on him for years and years #that's not even including how bill fucking tortured ford during weirdmageddon #my point is they aren't HEALTHY. they never were #and i think the only way to do their relationship justice is to keep the unhealthy dynamic #while also acknowledging how fucked up it is #there isn't a single world where ford is normal about bill and vice versa #i don't necessarily mean that romantically tho because i don't really ship billford myself #i'm just observing from the sidelines as i take a bite out of my platonic stan twins and fiddauthor fanworks yk #ok this got long. #what i'm trying to say is their dynamic was fucked up as hell and it would stay like that even if they were gay 4 each other #anyways #ferret rambles #gravity falls #bill cipher #gf bill cipher #stanford pines #ford pines #grunkle ford #gf ford #billford #poll

*taps mic* yes hi hello is this working. ahem ahem. testing one two three.

ah yes. we're back to normal now lol

..... were yall surprised ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )

long story short, i just wanted to do something for april fools… last year albedo made an appearance, so i thought of doing the same this year... but i felt like it would be repetitive. so given the recent developments and future events, this idea came up lol

in any case, it's the truth that i've been warming up to neuvillette.... i've been writing more for him, and if you saw my 2023 wrapped post you probably saw him as a 'runner-up'... and i really do mean it when i say he's been kinda occupying the back of my brain since last year hskdljfklsd at the end of his story quest... his tone when talking to kiara.... sobsob ueueue

however, i'm honestly still unsure if i can/want to have an actual selfship with him (ó﹏ò｡) i can't figure out how it'll work out yet... it just feels like with neuvillette's canon personality, he wouldn't even think of glancing my way in the first place, given the circumstances…. and zhongli... what do i do about him.... ough....

maybe he'll be a separate ship (e.g. zhongwrinth is one au, wrinlette in one au) on his own… maybe rinvillette will be a 'pining but not actually dating' kind of selfship.... idk..... on that note, i really should be making a selfship post huh lol

also, he's rerunning in less than 24 hours (like. 19 hours-ish for me) and i hoped this would be a sufficient offering for the hydro dragon to come home early… i'll play him twinkle twinkle little star on my guzheng while pulling or something, since it should arrive tomorrow afternoon lmao… i hope he likes the instrument that 'sounds like flowing water' hdlshdls

in any case, thank you for interacting in the short little event! it was more of a spontaneous decision on my part, but i hope you all had fun and i didn't butcher neuvillette's character too much, he's so hard to muse orz <3

lil doodle bonus of what could have been:

#rin rambles #the april fools' part isn't the ''haha you thought i really liked him?'' but more like ''haha you thought he'd be a yandere? weeelll....'' #lol i'm sorry i got too silly #neuvillette is a complex character i feel like.... especially since his moral compass is so attuned to the side of 'justice' #ofc i could always make him ooc and dial that 'judge duty' part of his into the more extreme scale. you mix that up with love and i think- #-it would make a good driver for obsessive love. but i didn't think you could explore those series of complex emotions in one day. so yeah. #you get conflicted pining neuvillette who's just a little bitter about things this time. lucky you. hsdlfsldkjf #anyway #why is this man so hard to muse orz he took all my brain juices so i'm gonna eep soon.... goodnight....

gotta love how quickly I cycle from ‘so proud of them for sharing that what a time to be a 5sos fan!’ to ‘suddenly worried and concerned my chest aches seeing all this WHY CAN’T THEY JUST BE COMPLETELY HAPPY AND AT PEACE ALL THE TIME IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK??’

#it was the bloodshot eyes luke that got me I think #and michael content. all of that just has me feeling a mix of things #5sos #5 seconds of summer #luke hemmings #michael clifford #calum hood #ashton irwin #so yeah just don’t mind me I’ll be here with my emotions #but I got some good news about a friend ive been praying for for a literal decade this week. and hoping for more good news at the vet tmoz #so like things are okay I hope. I just hate being parasocial and the fact that I can’t just be like ‘hey man you alright’ to celebs etc #but it’s taught me a few things about people irl and that I’m capable of having boundaries and just accepting where they’re at

hot take maybe but Justice For All is easily one of the best games in the ace attorney series

#Yeah yeah I know a lot of people hate big top I have very mixed feelings about it myself but I think it had some great concepts #and both reunion and turnabout and farewell my turnabout are fucking stellar #the first case is whatever it's an intro case but it introduced Maggey. and who doesn't love Maggey #PLUS WE GOT FRANZISKA. COME ONN #red talks #ace attorney

I feel like SV girlies haven't seriously considered "codependent mutually obsessive JuliNemo" yet and that's a shame, really. I've seen a lot of wholesome ChampionRank (really cute but a rehash of every wholesome yuri I've ever seen, not much original content here and that's okay) and one-sided obsessive yandere!Nemona ChampionRank (REALLY do not like the villainization of Nemona's neurodivergence but eh, you can do whatever you want forever) but not as much "these two get on like a house on fire. and boy, it's dry season" ChampionRank.

Where is "battle-hungry socially starved trainwrecks who have no one but each other" JuliNemo. Where is "oh god these two exacerbate each others issues into the stratosphere and this can only end in disaster but I can't look away" JuliNemo. Where is "bringing out the worst in each other and scaring the hoes" JuliNemo. Where is "you two are perfect for each other. Never change, just never involve anyone else in any of this" JuliNemo. There's so much potential here. Toxic codependent yuri save me

#pokémon #pokemon sv #championrankshipping #julinemo #babbles #my juliana is such a mess #she does not make friends easily and can't keep relationships for long at all #whenever someone enters her life she aants to make the best impression so she lovebombs them incessantly #and that either comes across as too much too fast or causes people to get too attached. #but she's young. she is very young. and the people who bothered to match her energy had ulterior motives #so now she's too afraid of getting too close to someone #she'll act the part but never show her true self #and at the slightest hint of genuine connection she'll RUN. #this of course clashes horribly with Nemona's own overbearing personality and loneliness #you know how she wants you to be her ideal rival. and you end up becoming exactly that. #yeah to my Juliana this was kind of a nightmare because. as much as this toed her boundaries #she isn't so inept as to not recognize a bit of herself in Nemona. so she decided to ride this out and appease her #and UH OH! she got attached. fear and need for control and validation from feeling wanted mixed in her head #and she started matching Nemona's energy and the two jumped into dating too fast and oops. they're codependent now #they literally can't handle being away from each other for more than two days or they start going feral #i wish i had the energy to write this one because i'm fascinated by this horrible dynamic. i want to study them in a rat maze #edit: i feel like i should clarify that this interpretation relies on Florian existing and being the one to help Penny and Arven #Florian isn't without his issues. he's a huge people pleaser too. but he's more of a doormat who can't say no

That was Lupin III: Voyage to Danger!

Outfit count: 3.5 (3 full outfits, plus various accessories)

#this was VERY fun. i loved the dynamics between all the characters and it was overall suuuuper enjoyable. lots of funny moments n slapstick. #but the main conflicts are taken seriously enough to have weight. it feels like a good mix for a lupin movie! also it was really #well animated i cannot stress that enough. i love the style of this movie. OH. and i should also mention. the other characters in this movi #had a TON of outfit changes. every character got to have a little outfit fun. like my blog focuses on lupin so i dont rlly screenshot the #others on here but WOW. actually. let me count fujiko's outfit count because i was keeping track of that one. 10. YEAH DAMN!! #anyway anyway very fun!! i would totally recommend this movie yippeeeee #lupin iii #lupin the third #lupinfits #voyage to danger

actually you know whose reaction I'd be really curious about, potentially coming across fourteen in the shops? Francine!

#francine jones #martha jones #the doctor #dw #doctor who #the (second?) last time they saw each other she nodded to him #and i tend to interpret that as a mix of 'thank you for talking me down' 'hey we survived hell together' and 'thank goodness #martha is coming back to us and you and i both know it's the right thing even though i know you're a fucking mess too but also pls go' #not in the sense that martha was trapped with ten but that ten maybe Could have convinced her to stay potentially #or even just that francine was afraid that ten might do so/martha could possibly choose ten over them #also just that in some ways the jones fam saw the doctor and the master being An Terrifying Other Species moreso than most #there's that relief when martha comes back like they weren't sure she'd be walking back inside #so they dont end it on Bad terms technically #but also potentially... sees fourteen and it's a trigger? sees fourteen and is afraid for martha? #sees fourteen and assumes the end of the world is coming back? sees fourteen and is just... oh... hoped id never see you again #sees fourteen and it's an awkward british 'how have things been? good. you? yeah good. got a garden now. oh that's nice' #(was francine there when martha was on that joint call -- she was wasnt she? #i cannot remember if there's any Looks between them there that indicate how she feels about ten at that point) #anyway i think francine should've been in martha's final scene i think francine was the most important part of martha's life #that symbolised the ways that ten had affected that life #and seeing how francine potentially felt after end of time would have been such a strong indicator of how that story ended there #the tenth doctor #the fourteenth doctor #doctor who spoilers #dw spoilers

Also I can't believe I'm saying this about a persona 5 spinoff but p5t is actually... Surprisingly good? The character dynamics within the phantom thieves are much more fleshed out (which is something I always took issue with in the original game), the character screentime is a lot more balanced and mostly no flanderisation (aka yusuke gets to Do Things for once, makoto gets to Not Do Everything thank god, morgana is the most likeable he's ever been to me), the new characters are incredibly fun and executed very well especially for spinoff-only characters, the plot concepts are interesting, the sprites are very fun and expressive, like. idk I just didn't expect it to make up for some of my issues with the main game tbh!! a pleasant surprise for sure

#vi rambling #persona #I HAVENT PLAYED just watched a full playthrough but like. it took me by surprise #spoilers here: #ernesto's design is one of the better persona designs in recent games? giving p2 persona design vibes mixed w some p3 which is ALWAYS a win #toshiro and erina are GREAT. having a persona based on a human is like. something they havent done since p1 which im so down for. #in general their characters are great and not what i expected. i was scared of it being regressive but not at all #toshiro gets flamed constantly and the nuances of his faults are very clear and handled well!! #and well i always enjoy a soppy pathetic suited loser who learns to be self confident. #and they did the smart thing of giving all the thieves a spotlight by having each relate to the different episodes in toshiro's life which #is SO smart thank god. futaba got so much time here!! HARU!!! YUSUKE!!! RYUJI!!! #idk i just was scared of the dynamics being watered down and i arguably honestly got a lot more here than in the original game. #also morgana finally feels like his own character and not an mc voice replacement. hes really great in this one idk #anyways yeah im pleasantly surprised. #obviously there are the expected faults of like well. antags being v narrow mostly and the usual persona dialogue issues and stuff #but overall what a nice surprise

//I said I was going to talk about this so here.

Lambda can't really wildly teleport all over the place (although he sure can look like it), he has to have a place to teleport to. And even then, he has to clearly visualize the place he wants to teleport to in his mind. Anything he can deem as a landmark to use as a grounding point does help a lot. Or having a picture of the place and focusing on that. However, even with that, it can be a struggle for him to go place to place.

Doesn't stop him from being a very effective killer though.

Places may be a bit hard for him to remember but people are not. Especially if it's someone he's chasing down. And since it's thought based (for the most part) teleportation, all he needs to do is think of the person he's going after and he'll be back on their trail in no time.

#//this info has always been bookmarked in my mind as 'in universe reason to justify slashers' offscreen teleporting' #//but also kind of using that and the fear of thinking you got away only for the guy chasing you to be RIGHT. THERE. #//it's a bit more complicated than that but i'm still kind of tired and don't feel like doing that rn #//the building visualization thing also applies when he wants to tp to another dimension #//just with a bit of reality manipulation tossed into the mix for it #//will i pretty up/rewrite this post later? probably not #//posting it anyways #hidden depths: {info} #//yeah i'll toss it there

i think that being happy for someone should neutralize any jealousy you feel, instead of the happiness and jealousy mingling to create The Badness

#eliot posts #man i fuckin HATE The Badness #other notable forms of The Badness include whatever tf emotions i got goin on about my dad #(in that case referring to the mix of burning hatred of him and nostalgia for the few good times we had between the bad ones) #but yeah similar but very different sort of conflicting feelings yknow #i still do want to keep hearing about good things in my friends' lives despite the badness tho

[stonerzelda]

God damn it i slept in until just now WHY!!! But i did have a kiefer centric dream even if it was incredibly stressful. Fine

#i dreamt my bfs dad was casually just best friends with him and he invited me on a tril tk Thailand to go habg out with him so #obviously i was like uh yeah lets go but when we gkt there we knky made it to visiting one market before an earthquake hit except #there wasn't one? just everybody acting like there was one. also thja group of women i think were trying tl steal from him or something and #tried to use me for information #anyway i ended up sheltering in a school for ehstever reason and got separated from everybody #and then there was a drug bust and i had a dimebag of weed on me. and i genuinely feel bad abt this part #i basically planted it on somebody who tripped and their pockets emptied to show they had a shit ton of meth on them #and my logic was well this will just be a minor offense compared to that. #and then i hid in like a custodial closet #and saw a giant lever on the wall labeled 'KIEFER MANHUNT' so ig everything was just to get him lolll #there was more but it got very mixed up and lost any continuity. like donald duck had the same soul as aang kinda shit #very very sad i didnt get much of a chance 2 hang out with him like cant i just have a normal sex dream or some shit LOL
