Watching the live action ATLA Series for… research purposes. I gotta say, so far I can’t stop cackling and I’m only 20 minutes in.

If Misha & Berens really wanted to absolutely make it unambiguous that Destiel was real. Cas would have said “I’m in love with you.” And Dean’s response wouldn’t have been shock. (Which could also be the Cas suddenly talking about feelings as Death was literally at the door since the love mentioned was easily platonic) Because they would have been together previously. And it definitely wouldn’t be written in as “Dean can’t reciprocate” But they didn’t. They just gave them trash. Badly acted, horribly directed crap. And, as they knew the shippers would, they ate it up like the finest feast. “I love you” has many meanings. Heck, Cas had even said it before. Almost the same speech to all of them, in 12.12.

Exactly! It's nothing new. We already knew how Cas felt about the Winchesters. What I find especially annoying about that speech is 1. The things he said about Dean actually applied better to Sam, and 2. It contributed nothing to the story, and in fact, was antithetical to the larger storyline (and I say that loosely) that Cas was involved in.

Cas and Jack had previously been set up as parallels to Dean and Sam. Cas was told to kill Jack, but refused to in S12. Cas made a deal to give up his own life in order to save Jack in S14. If Berens (and Dabb, by extension) really cared about the story and what happened with Cas, they would have completed Cas' sacrifice story with Jack by his side.

Instead, we got pandering of the highest order towards a group of people who have proven, time and time again, that they have absolutely no understanding of basic storytelling or subtext, but who will headcanon the crap out of the smallest imagined clues, and then proclaim and harass others in their insistence that their headcanon is canon.

Day0 flutter shy hasn’t been seen around town for a few days everyone has tried to get into her home to find her but her door was blocked. Weirdly enough with the disappearance of flutter all the animals have been acting weird from the birds attracting people to the pets acting feral.

Day3 twilight has been looking into getting into flutter shys home and working on figuring out what wrong with the animals she realized that some of the animals are looking rotten and weird. Pinkie pie was the one who managed to break down her door only to find flutter shy dead veins growing out of her back it kinda looked like it was giving her wings and animal ears her hair trapped in the veins pinkie ran out of there to tell the others

Day 15 through some point rarity got infected and through her they either found the cure or a way to slow down the infection with mint leaves and honey slowing down the first stage and second stage the stage rarity is at raw meats the iron it it keeps her alive it seams the infection is slowly going away as the veins on her face have slowly gone away it was hard for her to eat meat as she lived a vegetarian life her whole life the meat really hurt her stomach.Rainbow dash has been quiet the main person going out for supplies.

Day 20 apple jack watched her sister die from a stage three pony just a few days ago apple couldn’t handle the loss of her sister going out and killing as many of them as possible hurting her self and nearly avoiding infection with the loss of her left leg. Pinkie went back to flutters house with a knife there wasn’t much she could do for flutters she couldn’t give her a funeral but she could at least free her. She cut her hair off the wall with no real reason a few sobs before burning the house down and making a shitty joke she was attack while watching the house burn she was probably already infected if not from the attack then being near flutters dead body

This was a really bad story and you can tell I was lazy with buy drawings but I’m so happy with how am turned out

This Scene Sucks: Sora's Breakdown (KH3)

"Sora Gives Up & Everyone Dies"

"Sora Gives Up"

You can probably already tell from the title of the video that it sucks. Context makes it even worse.

Much has been said about the scene of everyone facing off against Terranort and the Demon Tide, and I agree with all of the criticisms: everyone stood there and let themselves get fucked over, the scene was badly paced, cinematography was horrible, etc.

But the part I'm highlighting is after that, from around 6:17 and onwards, after the Demon Tide takes out the rest of the cast except Sora and Riku and he breaks down in tears. This moment got so much hype from the trailer showcasing it, and even today, many praise it as an amazing scene, but not me.

Listen to this garbage:

"They're gone. Kairi, Donald... Goofy, the King... Gone forever. What do we do? Without them...I... All my strength came from them. They gave me all of it. Alone, I'm worthless."

What the fuck.

First of all, Riku said a few minutes earlier that they still have their hearts, which means it was not too late, but they have to protect them. Despite this, Sora just stands there and spouts this garbage instead of fighting. I could see him breaking down after the fact, or even for a little bit before he starts fighting, but this is how he acts throughout the whole scene before darkness wins. Riku isn't much better, he doesn't pick up the slack for Sora, he doesn't try all that hard to get him to pull it together, he just says a platitude. Riku comes off as an uncaring dickhead, he couldn't care less that Sora is having a meltdown over people dying, or that said people just died.

The quoted line above is supposed to be this huge callback to the moment in Hollow Bastion from the original KH where Riku takes everything from him, but it fails. Sora lost everything: his weapon, his friends, and he eventually got his act together. Seeing Beast fight that hard for the one he loved was more than enough motivation, but in this scene, he still has a weapon, and Riku is still there (I guess he's just not that important to him anymore).

He also says his strength came from his friends (again, I guess Riku doesn't count), but who was doing almost everything throughout the game? Who was the one saving everybody? Him. It's not this clever deconstruction of the "my friends are my power line" that everyone says it is, it's just stupid. This sort of scene was also done better in the previous world, The Caribbean, in the same game - the scene where he pounces on Davy Jones wass good.

Another thing I see people say is that it's a culmination of his self-doubt in 3 (an arc that I think was so poorly executed as it required him to be ooc to tell this story), and that it was buildup from DDD. Yes, people, this COMPELLING character arc hinges on context from A FUCKING SPINOFF TITLE. I think that says enough.

The scene is also hilarious considering when he sees Chirithy, he's back to being the "sunshine boy"!

In summary, the scene was way too overdramatized in context, didn't live up to trailer hype, compromised Sora's character (and Riku's to an extent, as well as the others who just stood there and died), and the lines were badly written.

Absolutely terrible choice to have Goku surviving his youth due to Bardock’s wish. 😫

Love when there's a scene at the beginning of a movie where a producer clearly watched a rough cut and then said, "oh but what if audiences don't understand the things the rest of the movie reveals naturally through its storytelling? We need to insert a tedious expository scene so there is no doubt"

Would you call Toph an arrogant, condescending, self-sentered, abrasive, ignorant, spoiled brat?

Yes I would.

And she didn't get much better as an adult or an elder, to be honest.

Why Harfoots Don't Make Any Sense (and thus I hate them)

(I originally wrote this as a reply/reblog to another post before posting it here)

I don't hate the Harfoots in RoP because of the actors who play them, I hate them because they make no sense. Allow me to elaborate on what I mean by that.

1. Harfoots are supposed to be nomads but their behaviour and lifestyle are contradictory to this. Nomads would not dress the way Harfoots do because nomad clothing has to offer protection/travelling durability. Most nomads would not have written knowledge on paper but would have either oral lore which were memorised or records on things such as wood, animal bones or even weaving. Nomads also do not farm vegetables (which is something Hobbits are known for) although they do herd animals because veggies can't uproot themselves and continue growing on the road when the tribe moves (there is a such thing as nomadic farmers who have several areas they plant crops at. These type of farmers cycle through these areas in turn so the land will have sufficient time to rest/recover its nutrients but the Harfoots seem quite different). The show writers made the Harfoots nomads but didn't know how to make it so their descendants ended up being pipeweed loving farmers so they just said the Harfoots were nomads and left it at that. This is F-tier writing and effort on the show writers' part.  I find their portrayal of the Harfoots being 'nomads' laughable as my own Hakka Chinese ancestors were nomadic prior to becoming hillside farmers.

2. The Harfoot's physical appearances are vastly differing from one another despite being from one tribe. There is no in-show explanation for this. This wouldn't be an issue if the show writers had bothered to make the Harfoots consist of sub-tribes who roamed different territories and only met up as one big tribe during summer or winter time. The different environment that each sub-tribe were exposed to would cause the Harfoots as a whole to evolve into a people with a large range of skin/eye/hair colour. A perfectly logical explanation right? Too bad the show writers didn't give a rat's arse about logical explanations.

3. Harfoots having a large role in RoP breaks Tolkien's lore. Hobbits (in this case their ancestors) did not do anything noteworthy during this Age and merely kept to themselves. I don't know about you but dealing with a meteor who turned out to be a man with magic powers that other people saw fall from the sky seems pretty attention attracting to me. The show-writers could have written in a Harfoot who, either because they were exiled or got accidentally seperated from the rest of the tribe, is forced to venture out into the world alone. People would mistake them for a human or dwarf child and the Harfoot, not wanting to expose/endanger their tribe, would just roll along with this mistaken assumption and it's only when they come across someone they trust do they reveal they are a Harfoot. All of this could happen without breaking Tolkien's beautifully crafted narrative. Alas, the show writers couldn't be bothered to read his books so they just went 'screw canon!' and wrote whatever they wanted.

4. Harfoots shouldn't be called Harfoots as the Harfoots are actually a type of Hobbit (the other two were the Stoors and Fallohides). As RoP took place before the Third Age and before the Rohirrim befriended them it's entirely possible they had an entirely different race name or none at all (as in they just consider themselves Regular-sized Folk, and men and elves as Big Folk). The show writers could have invented an entirely new name for Hobbits and actually justify their decision to do so. Instead, they chose Harfoot, the name of one type of Hobbit, and claimed that Harfoots were the ancestors of all Hobbits.

TLDR; Amazon didn't put any real effort or thought in making the Harfoots a believable people which is why the Harfoots suck and I don't like them.

Blood Origin character: “My name is Callan, but most people call me Brother Death!”

Me: “Wow, that’s a hell of a nickname! You are clearly very tough, but you don’t really look any tougher than any of the other warriors on this show, who all have basically normal names. Can you tell me how you earned such an amazing name? It must be an amazing backstory! I really want to know!”

Brother Death: “I could, but I’m not gonna! You know why? Because fuck you, that’s why! We’re gonna mention it once and then never again! Character development is for pussies!”

My Play

The screams of soldiers echoed through the halls of the castle, one by one. All the pest of the House Alden, who swore loyalty to them, were now no more.

The Duke should have never put his nose where it does not belong. The long, empty halls of the castle were decorated with the lifeless bodies of servant and Knights.

Their blood painted on the walls and the floors, as their song play for the everyone to hear. To let them know that they will be singing the same song and dancing the same dance.

That no matter what they do, to escape, to fight, it will only play out how I envisioned. The play will continue till all are on the floor, tired, with their eyes closed.

No matter what role you play, be it a tree or a Hero, it will end the same way. Killed and burned, let everyone see the shame of the House.

"Oh! How Sad!" The people will say, out loud or to themselves, feeling pity, sad or happy, or mare maybe a bit of everything, who know.

Really bad Beauty and the Beast short story idea

I don't remember much about the Beauty and the Beast lore, but I'm pretty sure the servants got turned into living objects and some of the objects in the castle came to life. There for I propose this bad love story idea.

It's about a young man/women who had just started to work at the castle when the fairy ,or witch or something, they get turned into a hand mirror and they met another person in the castle who was turned into a feather pen. The feather pen had been there for as long as they can remember. So the mirror and pen start hanging out, the pen helping the mirror around the castle and bonding over how beautiful the castle is even when cursed. After some time the two fall in love and start to get as serious as someone can get when they are cursed to be living objects.

They hear about the plan the other servants have to free everyone from the curse by making the Beast and Bell fall in love. They are of course excited about the idea but come to release that they have never seen what each other really look like. Pen decided that it'd be a good idea to try and describe what each other like, so that they could get an idea and there will be less of a shock Factor when they're finally turned back into humans. The only problem is only mirror can remember what they look like. Pen is having a hard time recalling anything from before they where turned into objects. Mirror encourages them to just draw what they feel like they look like and not to worry too much about it. They will continue to love them no matter what they look like in the end.

Bell and Beast end up breaking the curse and everyone has turned back to their original form but a problem has occurred. Mirror can't find Pen. No one has come forward to say that they where pen or know where they could be. Mirror searches the entire castle looking for them. The last room that they check is a study in a far corner of the castle. In that study all that mirror could find was a small dusty desk with a familiar looking feather pen. And above the desk a memorial portrait of a person with very similar features to that of what pen drew themselves to look like.

Might expand on this later

watching new girl again for the superior couple (schmidt and cece) ignoring the cheating storyline because it doesn't make sense to me and i don't like it

Why do literature professors who want to send a message™ always decide to pick the least interesting stories around?

Bringing in revival into your story with zero repercussions is a death sentence for any story

Its bad story telling and it kills all the tension in the show

1/5 stars

I dropped this because

 I have a rule where I drop the book/manga if the MC is either a character with no personality or is toxic. In this case, the MC is toxic. He's extremely possessive of a girl he barely even knows (not that I excuse extreme possessiveness in other cases) and tries to kill multiple people he deems as threats.

 In terms of the FL I just can't wrap my head around the fact that she immediately likes him. Even though he tries to go on killing sprees multiple times throughout the manga.

I was expecting this story to be better considering how popular it is and how many times it was recommended to me. I personally wouldn't recommend this to other people unless they like bad stories with over-possessive MCs.

But seriously.

But seriously, that year's Call of Duty campaign sucks ass.
