leafstar 🤝 graystripe great if u ignore every appearance except their first one
SO TRUE TBH... also that their sudden drops could actually be pretty interesting if they were intentional and taken seriously, but author bias fucks over both of their characters

TNP is such an interesting arc for AUs due to how much it impacts future arcs, and thus how much changes in it impact those arcs as well.
currently I'm bouncing around an AU where several characters roles get shuffled around: Brambleclaw joins the Tribe instead of Stormfur, Stormfur dies saving the Tribe instead of Feathertail, and Tawnypelt gets the Dark Forest training arc that Brambleclaw had in the second half.

disclaimer: i have only watched the narnia movies, i have not read any of the books. if there is information from the books that relates to any of this i would love to hear it. this post was inspired by @fallingskiesandrisingseas and their character posts of the pevensies
its so horrible thinking about how the pevensies came back to england after basically living another life.
they basically lived a lifetime. they had friends, possibly enemies, lovers maybe, they had people they cared for and who cared for them, they grew up.
and to have all that taken away when they come home, years and years of building a life in narnia gone
sure they have their memories, but not their bodies, friends, kingdom. theres no way they could’ve acclimated back in england after being in narnia for decades. all the costoms they learned, the languages, the repect and adoration they created. gone
i know narnia and beyond is some religious allegory for heaven/an afterlife, but to people who aren’t religious/grew up being taught it, it was devastating to watch. theres no way they would’ve come back home of their own free will.
i mean they grew up, they matured. they knew war and death, love and respect. i mean Lucy became a woman a leader a queen, she had to be taken back to a body that is way to young to know most of that stuff.
i mean how would they even know how to act anymore, act not like nobles, like the commoners they are in england. its been YEARS, theres no way they remember every detail from their past lives. they wouldn’t even need school really, maybe some stuff but would they even want to pay attention. theyre fully mature adults trapped in a childs body.
and how would their kingdom fair when they left without any warning. we see later that it fell to history, but before that happened. their leaders are gone, their protectors, their friends, family, just gone forever. im sure there were people that were trusted to take over, but thats still a big change when losing the kings and queens of narnia
i truly believe they shouldve been able to live in narnia forever. the other movies should’ve been different characters or something else. i love these movies, i just wish they hadn’t ended like that

just saw a post that fueled my motivation to yap hi guys !!!! so pilot charlie is more violent, for lack of a better word?? shes not BRUTAL but she did fight with Katie killjoy for making fun of her hotel I mean yo go girl!! but like she never gets violent like that in the actual show until its too late. she lets adam walk all over her, she honestly SHOULDVE went sicko mode on val the moment he licked her but for some damn reason she didn't. she cussed out susan, which is like okay love that attitude! but like is an annoying old lady enough for her to snap but NOT the leader of the angels also being annoying asf and not listening to what she has to say? okay like I was hoping shed be badass when the angels came down to clap everyone-she was literally screwing around??? she didn't kill ANYYY angels and okay I guess her job was to just protect vaggie cause of the shield but even then it still looked like she was screwing around. WHY ARE YOU APOLOGIZING IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIGHT WHILE BUMPING INTO THE VERY BEINGS THAT ARE TRYING TO KILL YOU?? also that firework thing was pathetic how does vaggie put up with her GOD. like I KNOW she has the power to go batshit, she should've been throwing hands since the START of the fight. pilot charlie would NEVERRR smh,,, also she didn't even be serious and actually kick ass until it was way too late and sir pentious already died but even then?? SHE DIDNT EVEN DO NOTHIN?? she got hit a couple times, daddy had to come and save her, dawg for the princess of hell her demon transformation is basic and underwhelming PLEASEE, only thing I really fw is the eyes but that's just it. like you had a short magical girl but evil scene to change into your shits-bout-to-go-down form but there's only changes to the eyes, and with new horns and a tail and yeah the ONLY sort of damage she ever did too an angel was adam and she just stabbed him and kicked him into the ground, oh and with the help OF HER DAD? and who killed adam? NIFFTY. she didn't get one kill to herself, and her "badass" moments were underwhelming girl u deserve better who the hell in the studio chose to make her like this

So like… whats up with Cozen? Why did they date? Is she cool or does she have the word “REBOUND” tattooed on her forehead. I just don’f understand how or why Brian is so so so sidelined after the Imago
i think she's genuinely more sustainably compatible with brian long-term than taylor would've been...and also still has the word "SAD REBOUND" tattooed on her forehead. i really enjoy when she tries to be like Umm you're not the Leader to taylor during the s9k arc and brian is immediately like "oh she is, actually. yeah no my ex-girlfriend is the leader. by default."
the racism probably but also i cant think about this for too long or i'll get so mad my head explodes. if i think for too long about how he has that really good moment with taylor during crushed & then is just literally never relevant again including in aisha's epilogue i will get so mad my head explodes. it's just so motherfucking stupid how wildbow is so insistent on cinching the "surprise, he's dead!" coming in at the very end to the point where he's forced to erase what the other undersiders think/feel about him, including his own sister. and it's especially stupid because literally at no other point in the book do i recall worm trying to do a cheap twist like that at the expense of the actual character narratives & dynamics. it just feels meanspirited and it adds absolutely nothing. actively subtracts a lot of things, actually. thinking about how wildbow could've just Not Killed Him and we could've had a good brian epilogue and i start gnawing on wood. or if he really felt that there was no possible way for brian to survive the oil rig (personally i think he shouldve fudged it and let him live) he shouldve at least let the impact be felt 4 the other undersiders. man. I miss my fucking boy they cant do him like this. oh my god i just remembered his actual trigger event isnt even in the book either. ok my head is exploding now so this post is over 👍

Round 2 Match 6: They Should Have Been At The Club Tournament
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda below the cut.
Propaganda for Winter:
(CW: animal death, brainwashing, abuse, racism)
Winter, since the day he was born, was pressured to meet the immense expectations of his abusive parents, Narwhal and Tundra, in order for him and/or them to have a high rank within their society. Which also included having to hunt for dangerous prey and going through dangerous blizzards at the age of a young child. Winter lost his brother, Hailstorm, by Hailstorm being imprisoned by Queen Scarlet, - who he thought was dead - with Queen Scarlet being ordered for Hailstorm to be brainwashed and transformed into an entire different dragon. He also witnessed two dragons dying and one severely burned from a cactus bomb explosion within a history cave, which was caused by his sister’s roommate, Sora.
Winter learned that his sister, Icicle, has been ordered by Queen Scarlet to murder his teachers and the RainWing Queen, a dragon who harmed his friends/love interests while trying to stop her from committing murder as well. He also saw his sister severely sleep depriving himself by burning herself in lava, out of her of Queen Scarlet telling her that his brother is dead because she failed to do what Queen Scarlet ordered her to do.
Winter also witnessed a “NightWing” with super-strength slam one of his friends so hard to the point that she went into a coma. Winter unintentionally was BURNED ALIVE by a dragon, Peril, whose scales emit intense hot fire, and nearly DIED because of it, before being healed by a magical magic rock that was enchanted by one of Winter’s friends, Turtle-
He also was severely brainwashed by a racist 2,000 year old teenager, Darkstalker, who killed a good proportion of Winter’s tribe - including his aunt. Darkstalker sent his NightWings subject into battle with the IceWings, which occurred next to the school that Winter’s attending, which is a battle that Winter participated in, after Winter saw father being killed at the entrance of the school.
And now Winter - who, by the way, is a young teenager - is now currently the LEADER of a big town that he’s currently working hard in building that includes members of all tribes to live in. He also didn’t become the boyfriend of Moonwatcher, the girl that he likes (possibly due to his past treatment towards her) which is something that’s he’s heartbroken over that he’s trying to move on from. Winter dealt with so much abuse, trauma, and grief throughout his life and in the Arc. that’s he in, so because of this, I believe he deserves a hang out in the club.
Propaganda for Tim Drake:
he spent his teen years trailing behind batman, and when batman was gone he spent a years time looking for batman. he Really didnt get to ve a teenager. he was stuck in batman's shadow. girl shouldve been at the club!

The great rose killer
Tumblr media
In the walls of heartslabyul there were two kings, one of Knights, and the other of roses. Both had a burning hot past of pain.
The great king of roses, his name was Riddle rosehearts, while the king of Knights was named Leo tsukinaga. One ran from their position in the midst of the war, and the other was never even involved.
"A true leader never runs from those they lead, no matter what. Even in the 'judgement'." Tsukasa said to his dorm leader Riddle. "I've never run from anything I have lead Tsukasa. I take it to the end." Riddle said in response. Across the room, Leo who was watching the tyrannical dorm leader and his unit mate discuss something. Ace was recently banished from the dorm, the antithesis to Riddle. Of course, Leo knew it was injustice. He fought on the front lines of the yumenosaki war, of course he would stand up to Riddle! He saw the pain tyranny led to. Because Eichi clawed and slashed at Leo until he left the school, and his unit Knights.
The final judgement, a common Knights purge. The first known and recorded one was when Tsukasa and Leo fought for control over the unit. But Leo cannot ask of aid from other idols in this case. But he also couldnt turn to Ace or Anzu. So he had to stand alone, the greatest rose killer. Thats what he could call himself.
King of roses, King of Knights, possibly one in the same soon. But only time could tell. Ace was ready to stand against Riddle in the battle, but Leo stopped him saying "I ran before, this time I will be the King they seek! This new land shall be my greatest kingdom! And Riddle will roll in his grave when he sees what I will create!" Ace, Anzu, Deuce, Subaru, Hokuto, and Mao all stood in shock. Tsukasa even more so, but he smiled. Leo finally had become the leader of knights he shouldve been. Riddle turned red.
The only correct rule, he called himself. Riddle stood up after the intense battle, black began to cover his body. The metal of Leo's sword clashed against the blot. They heard a pained shriek of pain from Leo. The thorns that surrounded the king of roses cut Leo down where he stood. In the background Arashi stood, watching her 'king' fall. She drew her magic pen, and a blast of fire hit Riddle. Thorns burned.
"I wont give up." Leo said while standing up with a cut on his left arm. "I will be a king again!" He shouted, his normally smiling demeanor gone. His happy green eyes turned cold as his blade cut through the blot and the reflection of the sword caused Riddle to fall unconscious. Into the depths of memories of pain, and the judgement of his mother.
-------------------
Okay guys, hope you enjoyed this little thing,h I was rewatching the anime and thought of this. The art is my own btw! I worked for like an hour or so. This took like 10 min to write. But the references are from the episode 'checkmate' of the enstars anime for those curious! The sword I found off pinterest and just added the rose to it. If you guys are curious I can post what enstars character goes to what dorm next time. Also im working on the next dorm for yan enstars x twst. So far it looks good. Once im done with the dorms I plan to work on the units.

now that its the 4th i can finally talk about shadow!! yahoo!!! SHADOW SPOILERS BELOW . ASC SHADOW . IF U DON'T WANT SPOILERS DON'T OPEN THE CUT!!!! SPOILERS BELOW!! LIKE. SO MANY SPOILERS. FOR THE WHOLE ENTIRE BOOK. PLEASE BEWARE
ok so that book was surprisingly? not that bad. the BIGGEST thing that happened was BRAMBLESTAR RETIRED!!! SQUILF IS GOING TO BECOME LEADER!!!! (unless something bad happens) and i am SO PUMPED FOR IT!!! FINALLY STUPID IDIOT BRAMBLESTAR IS GONNEEE i still skimmed over nightheart chapter this arc and tbh? he didnt really do that much. talked to sunbeam. talked to berryheart. talked to bramblestar and sparkpelt. did some tasks. FAILED HIS TASKS ON PURPOSE TO LEAVE SUNBEAM BEHIND AND GO BACK TO THUNDERCLAN WHAAAT??? honestly i dont think they shouldve let him back in but whatever AND NOW SUNBEAMS GOING TO THUNDERCLAN TO BE WITH HIM. babygirl just leave him please
sunbeam also didnt do a crazy amount of things it was mostly just interacting with nightheart but there was one thing i wanted to talk about! in one of the chapter (I dont remember which one) she had a dream about nightheart WITH ANOTHER CHICK?? she was described as a silver tabby with blue eyes and i tried to see if that was a cat but the only ones that are even CLOSE are flowerstem from shadowclan and shimmerpelt from riverclan, who are both described as silver mollies. IK it was proooobably just a dream but . what if its more of a vision. what if that actually ends up happening. very interesting....
berryheart still kinda sucked BUT ALSO. she is schemeing with RIVERCLAN to get tigerstar out!!! whaaat!!! specifically splashtail! WHO'S CLOSE TO FROSTPAW!!! i was actually pretty shocked lol! duskfur and mallownose (i think thats their name?) were also there
on the topic of riverclan reedwhiskers death was CONFIRMED. to be a murder. BY SOMEONE HE WAS PROBABLY CLOSE TO. WHAAAT??? I was so shocked! And intrigued! I'm SO excited to figure out who that was. he also said to frostpaw 'there is a darkness in riverclan' which is VERY interesting. also frostpaw has a crush on splashtail and its literally killing me babygirl thats your cousin. ough. also i think splashtail might be evil. i hope hes evil. that would be very interesting
ok time to talk abotu FROSTPAW!!!!!! little. tiny. i love her. she was so interesting this book. BIGGEST thing about her is SHE'S NOT A HEALER ANYMORE! she decided to become a warrior apprentice again because of her (supposedly) fake visions! splashtails been trying to convince her to become a healer again but it is NOt working LOL. though the odd thing is, now she's having REAK visions! she had the vision about reedwhisker where she was in the attackers body who attacked him and then threw him over the ravine. BUT!! cuz she's not a med cat anymore, she only told this to splashtail and.,... and.... she's going to tell whistlepaw too!!!! that means... WINDCLAN CONTENT!!!!!!!! im so excited! BUT. she didn't get to windclan! before she could make it, someone ATTACKED HER! it wasn't shown who it was or if it was riverclan or windclan or someone else but EEK!!! please be okay frostpaw. please. aaaaanyway, i thought this book was pretty good, surprisingly! frostpaw is still my number one fav :3 also i love owlnose & splashtail. i love alot of riverclan. icewing, shimmerpelt.... such cool characters!!! also lightleap and blazefire are cute

Prob know the answer to this but: opinions on either fanny or rachel? Just as characters in General, what couldve been done better abt them, or what shouldve been explored more?
Goes insane
I was waiting to be asked this. I’ve been incredibly attached to Fanny and Rachel since day one cause they were the first KND characters I saw other than Sector V and what got me interested in the show (mostly because I was thinking “the hell is that blonde kid wearing??”)
Fanny is my all-time favourite KND character and one of my top five favourite characters from any media ever. So I kinda like her. Idk how to describe why I like her so much but I think she’s generally written well. I wish that they’d at least attempted to give her an actual Irish accent cause hearing her voice for the first time physically pained me as an Irish person. Also, why did they name her that it’s SO awkward talking about her to people I know irl and it’s worse because she is Irish herself, the gag is so much cruder over here than in the us. Also, they needed to stop trying to give her male crushes it isn’t fooling anyone, numbuh 19th century barely exists in my head. There are a few things I would’ve liked to see explored, like her relationship with her family since I feel like we only got tidbits of it, and I wanted to see her and Kuki actually being friends after op Slumber. And I wanted to see her and Abby interacting more but that’s purely because I like both of them a lot. Also backstory on why she went from being a nurse to a Decom soldier!! What happened she looks so innocent in the op Maurice flashback. When I first watched I expected at least something being implied but we basically got nothing. I just wish we got to see more of the Decom squad and how they work. I have a lot of thoughts about Fanny that I cannot put into words right now or ever and I also do not want this to be too long but just know there’s more! That I could say!
Rachel is my 2nd favourite KND character (who would’ve guessed) and, as I said before, her garish outfit is what compelled me to get into KND. Op IT is one of my favourite episodes because I like how it portrays Rachel. It’s what set KND apart from other shows cause I don’t think a lot of kids' shows at the time would’ve acknowledged how, realistically, stressful the job of being supreme leader would be, especially for a kid. I wish we could’ve seen more of her, especially from before she became supreme leader. I know it’s a small moment in hindsight but the end scene of op fugitive gives me the idea that she acted really differently before she became supreme leader. Maybe it’s just me but compare how she scolded Fanny to how she scolded Nigel in op Zero, the one in op Fugitive just seems more personal and rude. And the fact she wanted to be the supreme leader when Chad left even though it’s established that no knd operative wants to be makes me think she was a bit arrogant before she became supreme leader. I also wish we could’ve seen her interacting with other moonbase operatives like 65.3 and 35. Also her and Chad!! They definitely were close in some way why didn’t we get to see it?!
Unsurprisingly I wish we could’ve gotten more of Fanny and Rachel’s relationship. Obviously, Fanny has a lot of respect and admiration for Rachel, which isn’t connected to Rachel’s status as supreme leader since she felt the same way before Rachel became supreme leader. Honestly, the most compelling part of their relationship to me is that there’s a bit of a disconnect between how they each view it. Fanny admires Rachel but she doesn’t consider Rachel a friend since she claims she doesn’t have any in op Slumber. But Rachel openly calls Fanny by her name which the show itself establishes is for really close friends so it’s clear that Rachel considers Fanny a friend. I’d have to guess that Fanny’s self-doubt and how much she respects Rachel makes it so that Fanny can’t imagine that Rachel would be her friend. These girls need to communicate. Also, they’ve known each other for a long time since they’re both in the op Maurice flashback. And the fact they could’ve been in the same sector cause both their brothers are in sector w. God! There’s just so much potential and I wish the show explored just a little bit of it! At least I wanted there to be a moment where it’s said out loud they’re friends cause I’m sick of people trying to claim Rachel dislikes Fanny it isn’t true (is incredibly biased)

Hmm... unpopular opinion. Or maybe just an opinion
Heathertail was wasted potential. Being the daughter of a leader, her friendship with Lionpaw, her brother is a villian, and shes very compassionate. It feels so strange seeing how her character just drops completely flat after Power of Three even though she has so much going for her.
strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree
HEATHERTAILS TREATMENT IS MY VILLAIN ORIGIN STORY FOR REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i will never shut up about how poorly fanon and canon treated her and how some people called her abusive and uncomfortable for hating lionblaze after he beat her and tried to kill her mentor. “oooo what a shrill harpy” i will rob your house
i also dont like how shes just kinda reduced to “breezepelt’s wife”. breezeheather is cute and all, but shes got so much more going on than that. heathertail is someone who feels very strongly and yet will always set that aside to do the right thing. that scene everyone complains about is actually a great example: lionblaze is trespassing on her land and stealing medicine that could go to her clan. this guy beat her and tried to kill her mentor and then repeatedly stated he would try again in a war, over an assumption he could not confirm. she has every right to tell him to fuck himself sideways. but she doesnt, because she understands that this isnt about lionblaze, its about everyone suffering from the epidemic in thunderclan. so while she isnt friendly in the slightest, she still lets him have the herbs. because she doesnt let her own hangups get in the way of justice (btw this is why she shouldve been the one to sneak shadowclan the herbs in avos. i know her being onestars daughter wasnt hard canon but what a missed opportunity to do something there with her brother)
the thing with onestar and darktail being her family was a retcon but its something they couldve done something with and they just. didnt. cause shes breezepelts wife now so she cant have anything more i guess.
lionblaze basically mistreats her and then she falls off when he gets over that and it SUCKS man.

The mroe I think about it the mroe I realize I don't know what exactly I was to do with Adam and the exorcists in the hazbins fallen au
On the one hand, I want to keep it close to canon, on the other hand, I want to show that really nobody is at fault, and it's just a bunch of miscommunication and mistakes
Like, I highly doubt the exorcists had a choice to be exorcists, and it's not like they can just- retire
I just really want to expand on heaven and how it works and is flawed
Cause like I don't think heaven is doing anything out of maliciousness, like, Sera obviously doesn't like doing the exterminations but allows them out of futy and fear of having hell residents destroying heaven and tormenting their victims who amd eit to heaven further
Like, if I was told rapists and murderers were coming to my house, I'd grab a gun to!
The exorcists likely had no choice but to kill, and overtime just, grew into it
Adam.....well, an asshole obviously, but even then, he wouldn't be a real problem if he wasn't put in the position of being the exorcist leader and able to take out his aggression in the dude who stole both his wives. He'd still be a dick but not a threat
Honestly, idk if I want to have him die in the fallen, I feel like there's a lot more that could be done with him. The finale battle is obviously gonna be included I mean- it has to be, but maybe Adam lives in this au
Or, at the very least, comes back as a sinner/fallen angle. That's gonna be difficult to write, though, if I do go with that
Like, I think the biggest reveal in the au is gonna be that heavens rules ARE rigged....but not on purpose, the rules were made when the archangels ruled and it was just left uo to one seraphim to deal with everything
They were written when humanity was starting out, written when they thought humans woukd stay the same- but they don't, they change, they ahve reasons for doing bad things
But the rules are just that, rules. They can't look at someone's past and see that they stole to provide for their family. They just see stole and send them to hell.
The system is rigged, but it's not anybody's fault. It's just a bunch of miscalculations and mistakes
And even though it's not anybodies fault, the actions that have been taken have affected innocent people, intentionally or not, and they need to fix it
So I mean, I'm not sure how ambitious that is of me, but it is what I want to at least TRY to do
I wanna add another more detailed layer rather than just have 'heavens actually bad and hell is actually good'
I mean, maybe the archangels oversaw people's sins and backstorues and stuff and decided where they went, but then they left for some weird reason. Hey, maybe I make them the real villains, and they dip cause the human project wasn't going how they wanted, so I left it to Sera/the rest of heaven and just dipped to go do smth else
Like, nobodies at fault for what your ancestors chose to do. And even then, I mean their angels. They can't really realize their actions caused so much chaos so even then it circles back to no one's really wrong people just fucked uo and made bad mistakes/choices
Cause like, Sera being portrayed as the bad guy rubs me the wrong way nd Emily saying "killing innocent souls" in cnaon also runs me the wrong way. Like, Emily, I love you....but I can guarantee that MOST sinners are not innocent. You might get some who were falsely condemned or have minor crimes and can change, but you also have people like Valentino for fucks sake
Side note I think what she shouldve said was "you are killing, possibly innocent souls" or something similar
I guess the main theme? I wanna go for in my fic/au is 'change' and that people can be wrong without being in the wrong, or being the bad guy
So that is a LONG rant, I honestly didn't mean for it to be this long- it was jsut meant to be like "idk what to do with the murder angles please help me" and turned into a rant.....
Anyways, I'll save the main theme talk for another day

so ur trolls posts got me to watch trolls world tour again. i remembered liking it but i couldnt remember why, but now i know for sure
I FCUKING LOVE TROLLS WORLD TOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALL THE INCREDIBLE WRITERS WERE SECRETLY ON TROLLS 2 !!!!!!’n
I CANT TBINK OF A SINGLE FLAW IN TROLLS WOULD TOUR!!!!!!!
i was NOT expecting a brilliantly written masterpiece about colonialism, but thats what i got, and its going in the greatest of all time hall of fame in my brain forever.
im not gonna sit here and regale you on the message of the movie. they only said fax, no printer, and its an important message to send kids. alot of the messages kids get about races and borders is “we are all the same 😚” but they came in with the “we are NOT the same and that is both good and bad, both exciting and dangerous so you need to be aware of dangerous ideas of “harmony”” and thats so real. kids need to understand differences are OK.
i love how they backed off the “chosen one” vibe poppy had in the first movie and talked about her flaws as a leader. while her stubborness was a good thing in the first movie to contrast branches pessimistic nature, it wouldnt have worked here, and i can see a cheap writer (like m*chael w*ldron) either insisting she gets away with her selfishness and carrying on with the happy ending anyway, or pretending that wasnt a character trait at all (because w*ldron doesnt watch the first movie and writes a sequel anyway)
my favorite scene is the bubble scene and the woods right after they leave funk where branch confronts poppy. do i even need to tell you why?
i just want to mention it because im pretty sure branch sings a cover of “girl crush” by little big town, which is a country band, and branch said he likes country music earlier and that slays. but when poppy comes in, what they sing is definitley not girl crush, and i cant tell if its giving “trolls can mix music” or im completley wrong and its a different song alltogether. but i cant tell if that song is homophobic or is super gay, so if im wrong thats prob for the best.
the only flaw i can think of is the country music, as a midwestern i can confidently say that was an affront to real blue grass country music. i guess born to die “works” but it didnt represent country as well as the other genres did. theres alot of controversy in the country music fandom with alot of singers who sound exactly the same and produced like its a factory line. but even if people still think miranda lambert and carrie underwood arent true country singers, their songs wouldve worked better than born to die. also the country trolls shouldve been on a self sufficient farm instead of the wild west. that wild western jazzy piano and country music isnt the same.
the only bad part about the movie is that it ended and barb ATE. SHE LEFT NO CRUMBS WITH THAT INTRO. send ask.
Lol I love your review. I love Trolls World Tour a lot too and all their other movies. Great stuff.
And yeah I love Poppy and how she can accomplish A LOT but she doesn't make it on her own, she needs character development and help from others just like everyone else. Characters are surprisingly realistic.
Barb really was goat, the best antagonist in the franchise. I love parallels between her and Poppy, how both had different intentions (Poppy wanted to help and Barb wanted to conquer) but Poppy's method was also wrong and both Poppy and Barb and everyone had to make compromises for all tribes to live in harmony because no one has to change their lifestyle for that to happen, all they have to do is accept that they're different and that's perfect. Just be yourself and let others be themselves.
That song in the end (Just Sing) slaps hard (and so does Can't Stop The Feeling btw).
P.S. Tiny Diamond fucking slays 🔥🔥🔥
