Atla live action 😐
#thats my honest reaction 😐#to be fair ive only seen 20 minutes of the s1 finale bc my parents are watching it but. mmmmm kinda mid#like. the casting is definitely an improvement since the last time they tried a live action but it feels like the writing falls flat#or maybe im being harsh bc ive only heard negative criticism on it beforehand. but fr anytime u bring up the original its already#good and not just because its the original. so much fucking detail went into it to the point of someone noticing azula wielding mai's knive#to how well thought out irohs character is used as a way of uniting the cast especially as zukos foil#i heard that sokkas sexism was toned down and i have to agree that feels like a cheap move. like i get WHY they think it would be better#but its not about how that reflects on real world its about how it affects the story. sokka starts out as a misogynistic asshole because#it makes it that much more impactful when he changes. toning that down makes it flatter and makes his character development weak#and someone pointed out they didnt even make him wear the kyoshi warrior uniform and i know it feels like such a small detail but#come on man. they did that in the original because not only does it help him really walk in their shoes - wearing 'feminine' clothing and#makeup and having suki explain its significance but it also ties in with the shows theme of harmony and intersectionality#i was also disappointed when they had the fire sages explain how the water tribe draws power from the moon because in the original it was#IROH who explained it to aang and everyone else BECAUSE we as the audience is under the impression hes with the 'bad guys'#and it builds up to how he learned from the other nations which reconciles his past as a war general and his character overall#AND its an excellent starting point for the cast and audience to understand how the nations arent as closed off as you would think#plus you would think its only fire nation doing propaganda but they expanded on that with earth kingdom censorship and it WORKS#a lot of things in the live action also feel arbitrary like. they gave momo a near death experience for 5 minutes for no reason#im firmly on the stance of bringing back filler moments instead of putting major events right after each other so that u give your#audience a sense of time passing and to really absorb the story. but i think thats more like shock value than filler and yeah its a small#thing to gripe about but those things build up and its really annoying. the thing abt avatar filler moments is that however small#its at least meaningful. hell even the beach episode emphasizes how isolated zuko and his friends are as child soldiers#i also swore to never watch the first live action since it was that bad but i really liked the stylized tattoos they used for aang#anyway. those arejust my thoughts. im not gonna watch the rest because im a ride or die for the original aftr growing up and#rewatching it at least 20 times as a kid. but theres definitely room for improvement and i wish ppl wouldnt take it as 'better' just cuz#netflix is adapting it. i wouldve killed for them to just reanimate the entire avatar series and touch NOTHING ELSE no redub#no changes to the story. just reanimate the thing and leave the rest alone and youd make easy money just the same#ALSO its very jarring not hearing jack desena and dante basco voicing sokka and zuko cause their voices were the most recognizable to me#i get that its because its live action but im allowed to feel a little sad abt that. and uncle irohs accent was really soothing#yapping

i have a lot of thoughts on minos in relation to pasiphae and the minotaur (both greek mythological and in ultrakill) but i dont really want to make a lot of posts abt it considering. the topic is generally hard to talk about.
#like i dont wanna go around claiming that the myth went 1:1 in ultrakills lore#because for example sisyphus was more based off a book rather than his mythology (thank god)#so minos might be only loosely based on his mythological counter part as well#but like. the fact that with the introduction of the minotaur enemy we KNOW the minotaur thing actually happened? jesus fuck#like we KNOW ultrakill minos thinks that the people of lust are only punished for loving eachother....#while his real life mythological counterpart got mad at his wife for essentially being raped by proxy and she had to defend herself saying#why would she want that. she was cursed/forced to do that because minos didnt sacrifice that bull to poseidon#like i KNOW why that was never really brought up in ultrakill that would be. a weird topic to bring up in a funny robot shooter#and i dont think you could accurately handle the themes of rape through lore books you find in levels of the game#but theres just. something about minos willfully thinking his wife did that of her own accord and him refusing to think about how lust#carries more than people who had sex a lot in ultrakill.#again the myth MAY be different in ultrakill. maybe he never even accused his wife of that. maybe he was more understanding#but theres a non zero chance he did#he could be willfully ignorant and think his wife willingly cheated on him. he thinks everyone in lust is innocent/only had consensual sex#because the alternatives are too gross/immoral for him to think about#it might be because i sympathize a lot with greek mythology women but finding out that the thing with pasiphae happened in ultrakill#DID happen made me lose respect for minos.#... also towards a lot of the fandom for joking abt it.#rape tw

*tries to write a post about the last 60th Anniversary special*
*is too overwhelmed with Feelings to string two words together in a coherent manner*
... anyway thank you RTD for reconciling me with the entire concept of found family after fandom at large tried its best to sour it and poison it in so many different ways.
*whipes tears away, still smiling and a bit dazed*

If there's one thing I like more than time travel it's crossover reincarnation, so.
Botk link reincarnated as Damian Wayne.
An incredible weapon master of all types, but especially prodigious with a sword - he was beating knights at the age of 4 and with his memories as intact as they get for him I can see that goalpost moving even further (probably with traps and tricks, a 3yo doesn't exactly have great bodily control).
He's an excellent survivalist, agile, strong, durable, cunning and creative. He can move like a feather in the breeze, strike from behind with ease. His first kill, an animal, did not stir him as it did the other children. With his poise, grace, skills, obedience, he ought to be ra'as' finest assassin in the making, a jewel in the crown of the league.
Except he never speaks a word. Half his targets escape unscathed. He skates by true punishment on the merit of his skills and achievements in other missions. Testing has shown it is not a physical deformity that prevents his speech, but not even talia has been able to coaxe a word from him past his second birthday.
It is a defect ra'as is growing more and more frustrated by, as each attempt to fix these two final flaws ends in resounding failure. Less extreme solutions are running dry.
Talia fears those solutions. Her child does too, she knows. For them, there is a possible solution, more extreme than anything ra'as would tolerate.
She sends him out of the league. To his father.
To Gotham.
#'gee phoenix that sure sounds like that dp x dc you're normally rattling on about' yeah lol I steal tropes and sell them on the black market#Anyway this has been slowly rotisserie-ing in my head for a while I just like shaking canon like a magic 8 ball#I'd love to explore how link would react to Gotham and how he might see getting suddenly dumped in a found family as the youngest#And how that contrasts with both his expectations in the league and his role as the saviour last hope of a whole country#Because that kid cannot have a modern interpretation of killing. Like monsters? Kill with prejudice loot the corpses.#The yiga might have a little more hindsight understanding and he never killed them anyway but zero hesitation blowing them up#And ganon is so far removed from the concept of 'killing is bad' because a) human??? Monster??? B) literally the problem#C) he's been killing people so it'd even out d) everyone wants him dead So Bad e) been killed already like a dozen times what's one more#I get the feeling he'd assign the same role to the joker like 'widely considered the source of all evil. 'died' several times and came back#personal source of absolute misery for several heroes. Killed many' = slay the monster. Straightforward.#Like yes link always chooses kindness and has a strong morality and Opinion on killing people it's just a lot would be solved#By hitting the joker until he stopped making life miserable for everyone and if that means permanently well that's kind of link's job.#And like with Jason the bats understand that a lot better than they pretend to. But that is a 10yo who should not be thinking like that.#I think it'd be interesting to see how that'd change their reactions to 'Damian'. Like he holds a very similar opinion to og and Jason he#Just goes about it completely differently.#And I'd love to explore the differences between two fictional worlds and how they can go from pretty much the most black/white morality#To probably one of the greyest areas while still holding near identical themes and methods of dealing with that.#Found family compassion as a weapon against evil and copious amounts of weapons and cool gear lol#Also link should keep the arm he's earned it. Reincarnating with all his memories knocked a few other things loose I'd imagine#Mostly because all the loz games I've played have absolutely altered the way I view any link and also I love referencing them.#Damian with telekinesis and infinite glue would be great. A tiny 10yo sword master choosing instead to drop a dumpster on you#In between hurt comfort link beginning to bond with his family and begin to speak and learn sign language from cass#There's also the sound of explosives and a small figure clinging to a flying door as it crosses the Gotham night skies#Speaking of cass I bet her and link would be great friends in this au.#batman#batfam#bruce wayne#loz au#Loz#loz totk

not trying to get at this person specifically and to an extent i understand that this movie could be polarising but anyway none of that is impt i just. i know i rage on letterboxd one liners so often but this is the disease of star power and let me be clear i suffer from it as much as anyone but this concept of person > character (by which i mean: celebrity character created by media maintained by audience and made personal by fan > story and functional element of the media engaged with) is crazy. it's fucking crazy. can't exactly remember who started this trend but wasnt it that shakespeare actor in the 18th/19th century who put special effects in his costume anyway he was a bitch and when you get to heaven you can tell him i said so

the way quarantine changed the way a large chunk of people consume tv is so obvious to me and it needs to change asap
#like not even from a binging pov#but fandom wise ppl r so much more fucking weird and obsesive about their shows#biggest examples to me is#euphoria s1 was like pretty chill and everyone was like yes this is a good show#s2 comes around and its literally all everyone is talking about for that month the memes r over the top and overused#but it means they convinently ignore any important themes and character choices#and it feels like ppl r watching the show to talk about and meme it rather than just watch it for their own sake which is w/e but weird#and then STRANGER THINGS#st has always had a big fandom but its never been that weird imo#like s3 came out and obvs everyone talked about it but no one was THAT obsessive about it#(except maybe some IT fans that overlapped tht r obsessed w finn)#but s4 came out and once again people are so weird w how they interact w it#making so many unfunny tiktok audios and running them into the ground (chrissy wake up)#and being obsessively weird about joe quinn as if theyve never liked a celeb before#like no other actor (except maybe finn but even then i dont think it was ever this bad) got treated this way from the show#like stalking taking pics asking the chrissy girl what he smells like??? its all very invasive and everyones forgotten how to act#i cant be the only one to have notice this weird shift in how ppl consume these show#maybe its just bc a bunch of 13 year olds are watching for the first time and havent learnt how to act#but even then there will always be 13 year olds#and im not saying ppl have never acted this way bc they have but it was always on a smaller scale where a large majority were like ehh#i blame the mcu tiktok and hp

#it is very nice when like. the epiphanies u have start to kinda prove themselves#i realized earlier this year that the theme of one of my stories is vulnerability and being able to open up and how doing so in the moment#is going to feel like dying. but once its over you are going to feel so much more at peace than you were before#and its just#i have told my older brother about how ive been looking into the idea of me being autistic a couple of times. but not really getting into it#but just barely we were kinda talking about some stuff and like the subject of facing your own identity and accepting it came up#and during that conversation i starting thinking about all of the things ive been dealing with recently and he asked if i was okay and yknow#that typically just opens the floodgates right#and so i told him about my thoughts on me being autistic and how that has effected my whole life as well as how the realization has been#effecting my current life. and just spilling a lot of the insecurities i have about interacting with other people and making friends#and he is just. he is so cool. he is so nice. i love my family dearly but my brothers i think are really the people i am the most comfot#around. we just got to have a very real conversation about things and he was so supportive and just listened to me and reassured me that#i am a cool person. like he was telling me that the world deserves to see the version of me that isn’t masking because he thinks im so cool#and that just made me cry?? i dont know the whole thing was just so reassuring. and a lot more recently we’ve both just started being able#to be more open with each other and talk to each other about emotional stuff and really lean on each other a lot more. and he mentioned how#and he talked a little about realizing he needed to be the sensitive and vulnerable person he was when he was little: that that kid was good#and valid and smart for being those things. he told me that if we are going to be okay we need to be those things. because the only way to#make life feel a little less shit is to share and joke and love the people around you#it is so . nice. to be able to have someone to talk to about this stuff. ive spent a good good portion of my life feeling like i was alone#in my family. alone among my friends. always separate from everyone else. and being able to connect with someone who has been there the#whole time is something that has like. rearranged my brain. i am very grateful for him. its made me feel better about the steps i need to#take in my life. and better about my position in the world. i’ll be okay and so will he yknow?#it felt like dying. but i feel so peaceful now#delete later

bsd tumblr/fanfic writers are we ready yet to acknowledge that a decent portion of fyodor's thoughts and actions that we've seen so far seem less indicative of him directly thinking he's God/a god himself and moreso him thinking that he is instead something like a messenger of God carrying out (what he believes to be) his will and intent for humanity for him in a priestly/missionary devout way
#feli.txt#before you come at me for this: this is just based on obversation of things i've seen repeatedly and might be an issue thats all#and this is my personal understanding/observation as someone who yes was raised around a very Catholic context of the world and knows how#these types of people act and exist in religious spaces & contexts#this may or may not be a hot take idk#this is honestly in reference to how i see him portrayed in fanfics a lot bc like.....#some of y'all really take some artistic liberties and twist some shit thinking it's his actual intent when it's not..#perhaps still falls under god complex yeah but idk i think a lot of people writing him don't tend to write it correctly for him#to me his relationship with god is more 'i am a messenger and savior sent by him for humanity and no one could be as close to him as i am'#rather than 'i AM god and i will control everything & everyone for my personal desires and whims and beliefs'#he's not playing god; he thinks he's the representative for him here to carry out god's will#and he overall to me he really gives more of like delusional priest/missionary than thinking he is literally *the* God#fyodor brainrot today 🫶🏻 average bsd fan learn to interpret religious themes in characters & works better challenge go#dont come at me for that im only half serious#but idc if its hidden behind flowery and deep analysis in text; some people really do be out here misinterpreting shit a lot#this is just my honest onion! but his character & intent really does get twisted sometimes by people!#i could go on about this for hours. he talks about god exactly like god is someone else he knows personally and is helping out#rather than trying to make people believe he IS god himself#he talks to god and acts like god has talked to him back and acts like he knows what god wants for everyone else the most#(I am also choosing to rely on the estimate here that Fyodor is viewing things through a Christian/Orthodox lens and from the same#religious environment his namesake author was in)

something abt realizing you're listening to someone sing for the last time really hits in an awful way
#so there's this girl who's a year above me and to say that she's good at singing is an understatement. if the goddess of song#herself were to appear in front of me or anyone who's ever heard a note come from her mouth and asked which one was more talented the only#appropriate answer would be that the goddess pales in comparison. i first heard her voice at the auditions for our middle school musical in#the sixth grade and i've been in shock and awe ever since. it's in the name of her voice that i decided i wanted to learn how to write musi#bc i cannot sing but wanted nothing more than some sort of reason to stand next to her. and by some twist of fate. i took music theory last#semester and guess who ended up sitting directly next to me. and who i also said no more than maybe 5-10 words to the entire time. . whoops#in my (and her) defense. it's not like she's unapproachable or anything. she's one of the genuinely kindest people i've ever encountered bu#the problem is. it's a music theory class. i was the only one in it not affiliated w the music department. and everyone in it had known eac#other for 4-7 years. even my like. actual friend in the class was ignoring me a lil (he wasn't he was just hanging out w his closer friends#and so i kept to myself the entire semester bc i didn't want to feel like i was intruding on anything + am terminally shy#(like. to the point where i get physically ill bc of it)#flash forward to today in ap world w our song parody project. our teacher was showing past examples from previous classes and guess who too#the class last year. and ofc. you Do Not get [name redacted] working on a project w/out having her sing for you#her group made a stalin-themed mr sandman parody and our teacher paused the video halfway through and it was my own personal 9/11#bc there's no good reason for our paths to ever cross again. unless she becomes some celebrity. which i have no doubt she could if merit wa#the only factor at play there. i will never hear her voice again and i'm not sure what i'm going to do abt that.#romeo.txt

What do you think about this
well, that sure is… a lot.
(it's a big long thread, folks.)
"what if [x] media was inspired by [y] mythology?" is a fun variety of speculation, especially with a series that has borrowed names for Significant Objects from various religions. (the adam & eve trees, the noah ark; the ancient weapons and their confusing trio of greco-roman god names; etc.) if oda's willing to steal names from these myths, why not story beats too?
but i simply do not buy what this person is selling. drawing connections between concepts as broad as 'snake person/god' and 'important tree' in a half dozen religions and taking a handful of lines of dialogue excessively literally, all to claim that the secret world ruler is Literally the Devil (Who Made the Devil Fruits for Some Reason But Only Half of Them) is just too big a reach for me, sorry.
