my thoughts on the knuckles series! spoilers below

ok so it was really well done, cinematography wise. the cgi was gorgeous and knux was portrayed amazingly. the plot.... was severely lacking. the main plot of "wade needs to win bowling against his asshole dad" should've been the subplot instead of "knuckles is getting kidnapped by GUN agents to sell to exGUN criminal who worked under robotnik", which should have been the main plot. also maddie and tom tracking down knux for escaping being grounded is never brought up. the lore tidbits from the GUN agents and the cute knux moments were honestly not worth signing into my dads Prime Video account to watch Wade trying to joust on a childs bicycle with a katana. the MURICA propaganda was strong, depicting the Asshole Dad covered in british flags, and wade's family is jewish (which i have no problem with, i love diversity and the chance to show off others' cultures) but in light of the palestinian war (and how america is basically funding israel) it feels like a political statement. i was not here for politics, i was here for funny red guy eats grapes. also nearly all the characters smelled of autism (which is nice, i love the inclusion) but i wonder if the writers/directors were projecting a bit. overall, this show was a bit of a disappointment, and focused more on wade than the title character.

anygays heres my unfiltered thoughts below

confirmed, knuckles only eats grapes and cool ranch doritos, he has the tism rizz

radio death counter: 2

this is just 2 delusional idiots going on a quest

everyone is autistic i love this

DICK JOKE

oh the racism. not cool in light of palistan. and paramount supporting israel. ew. why do wade's friends all have to be part jewish? why the mom's side?

theyre all so autistic i love it

that was a very unrealistic fork stabbing

wade needs a hug gawdamn

NINJA TURTLES BEDSPREAD LESGOO

wall death counter: 2

rip sink

o w the roadrash

HE GOT GAY BLASTED

lmao fursuit wade

p u p p e t

iblis? black arms? WHO ARE YOU DEMON?

gingers

dont duel, idiot, run away

YUHHH JOUSTING MENTIONED WTF IS THIS SHOW

why did the mailman just happen to have a gun flare that says go

DONT DRAG THE KATANA ON THE ASPHALT YOU IMBECILE

ow the roadburn

unironically hate this show wtf

lmao he has a bob

HE RAN PAST THE MOTORCYCLE??? HUHH??

WE GOT THE HAT BABYYYY

ew a child

i can overlook the plotholes. i can overlook the racism. i can overlook the idiocy. bUT I CANNOT OVERLOOK BRITISH MAN. DISGUSTING (i ‘hate’ brits for the bit, no hard feelings)

everyone is autistic i can smell it

HUGE LORE DROP, ROBOTNIK MADE GUN? not even grampa gerald, its def eggman. the implications for sonic 3 and the creation of shadow...

the squares were… an interesting editing choice

SUPPORTIVE WANDA LESGO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

really hope that knux is just causing chaos and eating grapes offscreen. he deserves some grapes.

LISTEN TO YOUR MOM WADE, NEVER TRUST A BRIT

yup, betrayal scene. never trust a brit

NOOO DONT BETRAY KNUX HE ALREADY HAS TRUST ISSUESSSS

they sacrificed dragon fruit man :0

where did they go

how did they commission custom bowling polos so quickly

omg FINALLY THE FIGHT SCENE

youre a loser baby

HOLY SHIT THE CHAOS ENERGY JUST GOT SLURPED RIGHT OUT OF HIM LIKE SPAGHETTI THROUGH A STRAW

YASS STEAL YOUR ENERGY BACK BABES

KICK HIS ROBOT ASS

bro didnt get his balls crushed, he got crushed by a ball

YUHHH PUNCH THE BRIT

final thoughts: 4/10, needed more knuckles, the repeating songs were eh, only eps 1, 5, and 6 were worth it, and i genuinely hate the majority of the main plot. the subplot of knux getting kidnapped and the whole gun thing was cool, but it should've been the main plot. fuck the brits

ALSO WTF WAS UP WITH PACHACAMAC. either he's a figment of knuckles' imagination that got imprinted into wade's head, or he's FUCKING REAL AND THATS TERRIFYING IN REGARDS TO THE LORE. WTF.

and the rock opera scene was ass. like ik it was supposed to be bad for comedic value but it was just bad bad.

#knuckles show spoilers #knuckles show #knuckles series #knuckles the echidna #wtf is sega smoking #fuck the brits (satire)

ok nandor being sooooo respectful of the sanctity of marriage he essentially murders his only remaining wife IS hilarious, but THAT DIDN'T HAVE TO MEAN WHAT IT DID.

WHY NOT A BODYSWAP. FREDDIE'S PERSONALITY IN MARWA'S BODY + VICE VERSA. basically, marwa with guillermo, and freddie with nandor. can you IMAGINE

OR HE MARRIES FREDDIE. (for bonus shenanigans, technically respecting consent: via some miscommunications and double entendre, he becomes married to freddie according to some obscure ancient customs that freddie could realistically, unknowingly fulfill. this could still include freddie knowingly cheating, ofc, if that's something we need)

HE OBVIOUSLY HAS NO PROBLEM WITH POLYGAMY. FFS

i do get that this episode wasn't going to be what the fandom wanted exactly, and i do get establishing that they're horrible people and all, but there's plenty of ways to do that w/out... this. i'd be happy w/WORSE, vis a vis how the characters end up. tho worth noting - just bc these characters try to do something horrible doesn't mean it has to WORK. like nandor could straight up try to murder marwa (wouldn't be surprised if his marital vows didn't explicitly prohibit that) and she can SURVIVE. (also, why is she boring in such a generic way? what happened to "what he likes, i like"? we literally see two clones get together, there's no way the comparison isn't meant to be made, and they made the joke there they should've made here! - 'i couldn't put it down' 'i know what you mean, i couldn't put it down' 'i know what you mean-' putting literally everything else aside, this is ITSELF boring. it's like nothing is built on anything else, episode to episode, and overall, the episode itself isn't so excellent as to work as a stand alone, comedically. why would you not take advantage of a season of build up. you can't just throw some shit at the wall and call it subversion)

this could retroactively be justified, ofc, by some twist i don't see coming. at this point, i don't see how that could be, by anything less than some djinn trickery (the real marwa is on an island somewhere, etc) or some major thematic cohesion. the only real problem i have is that they literally got rid of the only woc*

[*as far as ik, while nadja the character is romani, the actress portraying her is not, so i'm not really counting that]

opinions on riordanverse ; my edition

a lot of people have been doing this so i decided why not right. probably gna lose some followers or smth but anyways. pls respect my opinions! if u disagree, thats fine, but please be polite. unless any of my opinions strikes u as morally wrong then pls point it out to me respectfully. thanks!

- i actually liked drew. im so sorry to everyone who hates her but full offence, why. think about it this way ok, first of all drew became hc because silena died. silena was the traitor, the one who betrayed chb, yet after she died campers celebrated her as a hero? and then drew suddenly has to replace her and live up to idk that legacy she left behind,, when all of a sudden this girl named piper swoops in and takes her place. idk abt u but i wld be salty abt that too. not only that, but as an asian, the chances of drew having faced racism/bullying as a child is pretty high (she studies at brooklyn academy). which means that when she finds out shes a demigod, and arrives at chb where most of the campers are white (this is an assumption btw), she’d obviously be scared of being bullied for her skin color right?? so the first thing she wld do before the campers get to bully her is to bully them before they can do so. (sentence structure here is wack i apologize) ofc this might not even have happened, drew could have had a perfect childhood && was a b1tch for no reason, BUT EVEN THEN HER ROLE AS A BULLY WAS PRETTY VITAL BECAUSE THAT FURTHER SHOWED THE CONTRAST BETWEEN HER AND PIPER,, HIGHLIGHTING PIPER AS A HERO//GOOD CHARACTER,, AND THEREFORE MAKING READERS LIKE PIPER MORE. anyway stop hating on drew please. ALSO WHY IS THIS SO LONGA SDFJHG

- jason isnt bland, the fandom just kinda erased his backstory (thanks to @pjohoo-memes for the phrasing lol)

- reynabeth wouldnt have lasted/would have broken up several times. idk i just see them as two extremely powerful characters who have firm opinions and will definitely clash at some point. in a platonic relationship,, i can see them as really good friends but as lovers? idk i just think theyll break up

- PIPABETH

- i dont really like jercy,, i see them as better friends than lovers. also idt jason and percy were that close..?

- the dam and not my type jokes are srsly cringey and were never funny. ik that seems hypocritical since my username literally makes use of the dam joke but honestly i dont actually like the joke. its not funny to me and has never been funny

- the seven were not best friends. they definitely argued,, and honestly probably werent as close as the fandom makes them seem. like ure dumped with 6 other people, out of which u only know a few. my introverted ass would have jumped off the argo 2 quicker than leo valdez could bomb camp jupiter up. also leo was a dick to frank. so what if frank is bigger sized?? thats not a valid reason to tease him

- the fandom needs to stop hating on octavian while worshipping luke. if u hate luke and u say u hate octavian too, then okay. but if u tell me ure a luke stan but u despise octavian?? imma disagree w u. luke was worse than octavian im sorry. first of all, octavian being a dick was kinda justified. hes been after the praetor position for so long, and everyone keeps saying to “wait for jason” when suddenly this dude, whos a son of NEPTUNE (neptune wasnt liked much by romans), and the camp decides to make him praetor?? dude i would be pissed off big time. and then afterwards, he finds out that greek demigods are real and the dude they made praetor is greek. AND THEN GREEK DEMIGODS COME TO CJ AND ONE OF THEM BOMB IT UP?? octavian has been told all his life that greeks are scum and this dude called leo valdez attacks cj. sure it was an accident, but did octavian know that? no. so it was honestly justified that he was such a salty prick im just saying. also some of yall be hating on octavian for cutting a teddy bear open and thats the funniest shit ive ever heard i swear

- luke didnt go to elysium

- travis and connor stoll r way too underrated. the two have been head counselors of the hermes cabin since luke was revealed as a traitor, can u imagine the stress? luke, the person they probably looked up to as a brother, betrayed them. and they didnt even have time to process this when they were thrown the roles of being hcs. that would have been so stressful and i would probably have broken down if i were them. the stoll brothers taking turns to wake up at ungodly hours because a new camper is crying and homesick and terrified, the stoll brothers having to comfort and take care of new campers, having to deal with the amount of people in that cramped space because not enough campers are being claimed fast enough. having to resolve issues between campers in the hermes cabin all the time. the stolls arent just comedic relief, and we need to stop treating them as such

- tratie shldve been canon idc idc

- demigods of the demeter cabin arent talked about enough and i love the fact that meg was demeters kid. like she isnt the child of one of the big three yet shes so powerful.

- we need to hype clarisse up more her character arc was phucking amazing

- rachel is overhated. sis found out greek gods exist and regularly come down to earth to fuck around and went “ok cool”. queen shit behavior methinks

- the floor 19 crew of mcga is srsly underrated. like do u even remember halfborn gunderson, mallory keen, tj, etc??? bc i feel like we only remember samirah, magnus, alex, and sometimes blitz and hearthstone

- sadie (tkc) was kinda annoying at first. i like her more now tho but i rmb not liking her for a phat while

- tkc and mcga need more love

- carter kane and jason grace arent boring. theyre just really sweet boys who are too good for this world and yes yes yes

- hazel and frank (especially frank) need to be hyped up more. i hardly ever see anything about them. also yall seem to forget that frank was literally made praetor and that even hecate admired hazel and was willing to fight beside her because of how powerful she was

- frazels age gap is kinda sketch but i still think theyre really cute

- nico definitely had trauma from going to tartarus on his own

- GROVER IS PERCYS BEST FRIEND

- annabeth isnt smarter than leo but neither is leo smarter than annabeth. ive seen a lot of discussions about who is smarter and heres my hot take on it: neither. theyre equally smart, just in different ways. leos a genius mathematically speaking. he has no issues solving math problems meant for people much, much older than him. annabeth on the otherhand, is great at strategies etc. she can make an army of 1000 more powerful than the enemy, even if theyre outnumbered. so in my opinion, both are equally as smart//u cant compare their intelligence, because their talents lie in two different areas.

- while i do agree rick riordan isnt a god and that hes bound to make mistakes,, AND that hes given us a lot of representation,, if the representation offends the people its sposed to represent, then theres a problem. im talking about piper as a poc and wearing feathers in her hair. im not a poc, so i cant speak for them on whether or not its wrong, because i dont know either. HOWEVER, i have seen multiple posts BY pocs talking about how they didnt really like rick’s representation of piper, and thats an issue. pocs have been and are still oppressed and discriminated against by many. as a white cis man, we cant really blame him for not knowing (tho he could have done a research,, asked some pocs,, idk), but by representing pocs in that manner, hes influencing impressionable kids/teens into thinking “oh pocs wear feathers in their hair all the time” etc, which isnt true. the pjo/hoo series is extremely successful, and kids who read the books will probably start forming inaccurate opinions on pocs. the amount of fan art that depicts piper with feathers in her hair dont help either. “but rick said so in the books, so its canon” yeah well rick isnt a god and he can get some things wrong at times. im not saying we should cancel him, im saying we should start educating ourselves and not spread false info like pocs wearing feathers in their hair all the time. also that snake song shit where she sang Summertime was just- yeah. bc heres the thing you can be racist, and still include minorities, but portray them in a racist way. And even then, ignorance isn't a thing to admire. Getting those facts wrong still has a major impact. It continues to perpetuate racist stereotypes.

“ With the feather thing, I looked it up myself; it takes less than five minutes to figure out that Cherokees don't braid feathers into their hair. I didn't grow up in the country where my parents are from. I have many other first/second generation American friends who have also been through that, with a bit of a disconnect from their culture. But something that most of us have in common is that when we didn't know something, and when our parents weren't that big of a help, we looked it up. We sought out resources online and through other people from our culture to be able to connect more with where we came from. Some of that took a Google search. So I find it hard to believe that Piper, a girl who Rick's trying to portray as someone who is attempting to connect with her culture and is totally against racist stereotypes, wouldn't know that eagle feathers aren't supposed to be braided into your hair casually. She may be disconnected from her culture, but she's also shown to want to connect back to it. Piper wouldn't be casually braiding feathers into her hair while also telling off people for being racist. It makes no sense.” - reddit thread (down below)

for those of yall who wanna know more please please read this, it has a lot of things i wanna add in here : https://www.reddit.com/r/camphalfblood/comments/gy3gl2/piper_mcleans_portrayal_is_innacurate/

as well as https://finding-my-culture.tumblr.com/post/189422373260/maxie-ratties-and-cattie-finding-my-culture

i will be posting screenshots of these in future posts so if ure viewing this on ig and u dont have tumblr,, dont worry

- the fact that most of the strong female characters in the series refuse to be “girly”, and ngl i dont really like that. just because ure girly doesnt mean u cant be strong.

- piper would have been a great way for him to start making the strong characters act girlier, but instead he went with the “I’m not like other girls” trope which is quite obnoxious to hear constantly, and I don’t think it’s necessarily great for younger girls to read that idea growing up. the closest we've ever had to a strong female character who was also into "girly" things was Silena. when I was younger I admired Piper's "I'm not like other girls" thing, but then I got older and realized that the whole mentality of "not like other girls" is super obnoxious, and a little bit toxic

i have a heck load more that i cant rmb rn but yeah feel free to add more

Back with more random osomatsu san thoughts!

OK SO! I know it’s quite late but I didn’t get a chance to watch the new episode until now! So heres what I think!

* S3 EP 8 SPOILERS *

OSOMATSU- LOL I can NOT get over how he was just in his pajamas the whole time, thats so like him i love it (was going to say he was cute this episode, but they all were!)

KARAMATSU- SO SO PERFECT AS ALWAYS. I’ll listen to your solo concert bby cries - fit was fantastic, hot tbh i love him so much; I feel like he was kind of treated pretty badly in this ep but in the normal comedic way he always is ig :,// at least he got some great moments w the brothers at the end! fuels my major hc that the other brothers actually all love kara but just find it fun to pick on him (this season is doing a lot for that hc actually)

CHOROMATSU- AHHHH GODD HE WAS SO GOOD THIS EPISODE. not only was he adorable when waiting to go on a trip and was so excited when he made the tour guides!! as someone whos always kind of ignored when they try to do things like that, esp for group activities, i felt for him hard and just wanted the poor baby to have his guide followed; now that i think about it they did the campfire right?? did they talk about their feelings or did choro just bring it up and it was shot down i need to know hhhh ok anyways this ep also gave me a huuuge hc (i would call him having a fear of heights a hc but it was pretty much confirmed, he looked so cute when he was nervous but then oso showed him it was ok thats amazing) that he has anxiety over things like having a set guide to follow?? that might explain why he’s the “responsible” one always trying to get jobs and why in au skits hes always portrayed as being the boss or the head of whatever it is they’re involving- anyway my past-choromatsu-girl self almost came out again this ep good job matsu team

ICHIMATSU- PUT ON PROPER SHOES HONEY but he was so ‘ichi’ this episode if that makes sense lol he was just his classic self it was great to see; im sorry i dont have much to say for you ichimatsu! i related to that scene of you trying to find your name at the souvineir store ill say that </3

JYUSHIMATSU- SO CUTE SO CUTE HIS HUNTING GEAR he just wants to protect djfkw put the shotgun down/be careful sunny boy- i loved his interactions w everyone why is he so cute this season i sw2g- also i wish he went with kara! this doesnt relate to him that much and ik it wouldnt make sense in the episode w the jokes but my personal fav groups the matsus split into when they pair off are ichi + todo and jyushi + kara so jsfdjswk

TODOMATSU- TAKE PICTURES OF UR BROTHER PLEASE but its ok bc ur cute like everyone was this episode; SO CUTE HOW THEY ALL TOOK A PIC AT THE END i love totty so much im sorry i also dont have much to say king </3

OTHER: AHH OKAY SO LIKE I SAID im loving how many cute moments we’re getting this season of the brothers just being brothers! That little montage at the end of them hanging out and being bros was so heartwarming i got so emotional for no reason and AHH WHEN THE WIND WAS BLOWING AND THEIR HAIR LOOKED FLUFFY, ESPECIALLY KARA’S, I LOST MY MIND <333333 ALSO SOMEONE TELL ME WHY THERE WERE SO MANY ASS SHOTS THIS EPISODE? MORE THAN USUAL? Also also i feel the need to mention how stingy they are with their money they called 490 yen expensive hfjddwjkds boys no

#osomatsu s3 #osomatsu season 3 #ososan #ososan s3 #ososan season 3 #osomatsu spoilers #i just want to date kara so bad??#lets get married and go to the mountain karamatsu pls wear the same drip #ik they were making faces at the couple but after the other ep i bet theyd be supportive if it was me and kara #actually who are we kidding #they would NOT
