I'm gonna read Way Too Much into the new RWBY beyond episodes

Hi, I hope it's not bothering you, I just came to shed some light on this question of "why does Jaune's fan hate Oscar?" I'm a fan of Jaune but I think Oscar's character is very good, but I believe the hate that Oscar receives comes from the fact that he appears out of nowhere and gains a very important purpose out of nowhere(ozpin vessel) Many fans or stans wanted this to be for Jaune, who had already been in the main group for the longest time. For me, I liked Oscar's idea in the series, the only thing I would change is adding more to his backstory.

I think I understand but also there's already SO MUCH going on with Jaune, I think him being an ozcarnation on top of that would have been a logistical nightmare, to write. I think they already found it difficult to write him in the ever after, even if they probably planned that from the beginning (him having a white rabbit on his hoodie).

I do wish we got more of Oscar's backstory (and it might still be coming), but I don't mind his introduction to the show. Could've been handled better? Probably. But also I really don't understand why everyone keeps hating on it. It's not like our other main characters had much fleshed out introductions.

i made my hognose tiny glasses and it's the cutest fucking thing I've ever seen in my life

Edit: Btw if any of yall wanted to know, her name is Rosie and she is, as the tags say, a western hognose.

I think the most fun part of monsters inc is boo calling sulley “kitty” and mike wazowski by full government name

why small kittens are always either the most pathetic or the most evil creature you've ever seen

guy who has chronic pain and fatigue: man why can't i do more stuff

their ship name might as well be theseus the way there's not a single original characteristic left there

Sometimes people get their start in fandom with something like, idk, the MCU or light action shows like Supernatural or children's fantasy like Warriors (this last example said with love), where the writing is an inconsistent mess, characterization can change on a dime, there's no themes stronger than like "family" or "stop the bad guy from changing our way of life". And their fandom experience is taking the hints of interesting ideas presented and dropped and spinning them into something interesting, or just fluffy and fun, and then discarding the rest.

And then these people come to a piece of art that like. Actually has themes and good writing and a coherent vision, but they're still trained on The Giant Trash Heap That Must Be Sorted Through, so they start their routine of excising fun yaoi moments and throwing the rest in the trash, except now the rest is like. A professionally made passion project by a group of skilled writers with a hundred years writing experience between them, and this fan is writing the same coffee shop AUs as ever. And it makes something that feels same-y and fandom out of something unique and well-made and, well, interesting.

And like. That's their prerogative, more power to them, but it makes me wanna pull my hair out to talk to these people about a piece of media I actually care about beyond that Trash Heap level.

And if you're someone whose only fandom experience has been Trash Sorting and you're running into people arguing with you abt their favorite piece of media, give them a second thought I guess?

Why is the courtroom sketch art style so beautiful. It's very gestural and expressive and stylized in a weirdly pleasing way. Simultaneously feels very real and tangible but strangely dreamlike. Very odd

what does it mean if people keep tagging my personal posts harry dubois

“sounds romantic”

Look at them!!

Kitty Battler and Kitty Beato are finally finished

As for Zelda, still very much playing, almost finished link's awakening but I don't want it to end because it's just so adorb (I will be sure to also play the remake).

That and I'm in the dungeon where you have to throw a ball at things and it's a bit difficult to navigate, but fun as heck

You've seen me getting into Zelda after thinking it wasn't for me for years, now get ready for me actually playing resident evil w remake and 7 and not only having a blast, but also not being scared at all.

This after my first venture into RE, some years ago, caused me a lot of anxiety. I played Jill's campaign in re1 remake and found it to be objectively great, but also I DREADED playing it.

Maybe I should also give silent hill another try! I eased myself into the horror genre in videogames in 2023 (which I'll eventually make a post on bc all the games I played became favorites) and it seems I'm more comfortable with it now!

Also I finished my first playthrough of RE2 and I goddamn, Leon is hawt.

Yeah, that's what happened. I now find these games sexy, including the parts where you're supposed to shit your pants as you're being chased up and down by implacable stalkers. Ooh Mr x you so silly, punching me just when I'm busy moving shelves in the library ❤️ oh Mr Baker, it's so funny how you bring a different painful looking tool to smash my head in with everytime we meet ❤️

Anyway.

Both Zelda and resident evil are just metroidvanias, in this essay I will
