i mean, between whatever the fuck is going on between those two and sy's habit of playing gay chicken with himself? the consent going on is as clear as mud. diversity win, your main couple is pretty unhealthy and have a lot to work through in order to be a sustainable long term relationship. lets turn our opera glasses to the lesser, or perhaps more comedic trainwreck going on over there-
Yeah, exactly. Also they have this habit of trying to cater to what they presume the other wants/needs (Shen Yuan is still caught up on the whole protagonist thing and trying to become the harem stand-in while Bingmei is pretending to be a better, nicer person than he actually is because he thinks his shizun won't want him as his authentic demon self) which is an extra layer of toxic fuckery on top of everything else.
It's great, it's fascinating and I want to put them in a petri dish and leave them there for some time to see whatever the hell grows from this mess, but that's too much work, so I'm just sticking to all these other messy relationships, because I already know they are more to my taste.

What are your thoughts on Sonic Prime, specifically Sonic’s personality on the show?
i like it as its own imagining of the sonic universe, but i think i would like it a lot better if it weren't touted as a continuation of the games. the characterizations, particularly sonic's, just feel off to me? he acts too young and naive to be a match for game sonic, who is canonically slow to trust (often kind of a dick tbh haha)
tl;dr: I really love the show for what it is, but I prefer to view it as its own little universe, like boom or underground

hello! i'm a big splatoon fan as well, and recently i've been trying to make salmonid art inspired by the art styles of pacific northwest first nations (specifically the kwakwaka'wakw people) (i know you're not kwakwaka'wakw, but i don't know anybody who is).
i hope greatly that it isn't appropriative in any way, and if you can, do you have any recommendations on how to use the style as genuinely and respectfully as possible? my goal is to re-imagine the salmonids in a more sympathetic light while still acknowledging their lore and real-life influences.
sorry if this is bothering you or rude in any way, feel free to ignore if this makes you uncomfortable. thank you! (sorry for the wall of text)
Hi, thank you so much for asking.
My initial thoughts and opinions is that I’m fully supportive of a re-imagining of the salmonids, but I think that if the re-imagining is in the hands of a non-native person primarily, I think avoiding utilizing indigenous culture and imagery for them would be the wisest choice 👍 the formline graffiti is one of the main aspects that tie the salmonids to indigenous culture, and that combined with the way salmonids are treated by the lore and the game makes me feel like one of the first steps to re-imagining the salmonids would be to not use imagery/culture of a racial minority, if that makes sense.
Of course I’m just one person, and talking to other Indigenous people to get other opinions is always a great option! Especially Kwakwaka’wakw people, if that’s the formline style/culture you’re using as an influence for the art.

@fictionadventurer replied to your post: Shared the recent work and some plans for upcoming…
Under that theme, is JM treating Elystan like a dangerous criminal an instance where treating a child as an equal is a bad thing (because treating this kid as a political opponent makes him say inexcusable things to a child), or just another case of him viewing Elystan as a pawn?
What I was attempting to get at was not so much the importance of an equality of roles, but equality of humanity. Recognizing the other as a fellow human being who needs to be treated with the same understanding and compassion that one would want for oneself. JM's treating Elystan as a political opponent and only that is a kind of dehumanization. He's no longer a very young human who is going through a series of very difficult experiences and would be adversely affected by deliberately harsh treatment--but instead a potential threat that needs to be contained, like you would contain a vicious animal. Or a bomb. It might be seen as tactically advantageous, but it is ultimately impersonal and cruel--and might just create the very monster it was intended to circumvent.

ST 4 SPOILERS & MY OPINION+THOUGHTS.

I started at 3, on the dot. Ended the entire show at 1pm. I’m not really sure what to say other than I love the horror aspect, very much needed, I'd say...? Feel bad for the people of Hawkins, they really be going through it... lmao.
Anyhow, I love Eddie, didn't think I would like him as much but I do !! Which is surprising because when a TV show introduces a new character, it's a hit or miss. BUT!!
I fuckin love Argyle, too! Him and Jonathan are funny as fuck together, even if they are high most of the time, it's hilarious to see. I really liked the new characters which again, very shocking that I do because once more, it's always a hit or a miss.
NOW!!!!!! For the things I didn't like was that there's so many fucking PLOT HOLES. How did Brenner come back alive when he had gotten eaten previously in s1? Did I miss something or did he explain that or like what the fuck. Speaking of s1, how come Mike got angry that Eleven smacked tf out of Angela (much deserved, by the way, I don't care) yet didn't get angry when she broke that kid's arm in s1...? Is it because it was for his gain, his safety? Like, okay, sure... I guess...
Moving on, I don't really think Joyce would've dropped her kids like THAT over Hopper. That girl really wanted sum fuck, huh? Especially with everything that happened in s3.... she was putting herself in more danger and had she not returned, the kids would be in the stoner - Jonathan - 's hands....?? I don't think she was clearly acting with her thoughts but with her hormones, miss girl really wanted that dick which is understandable, it's Hopper but like.... eh. (half joking, may I add.)
Don't get me started on Steve & Nancy. I hate it. I hated it in the first seasons. Nobody asked for that. It's her own damn fault for going after then-creep Jonathan who snapped pictures of her when Steve, WHO WAS RIGHT FOR ACTING THE WAY HE HAD (other than the fighting, sure) was protecting her and was making sure Jonathan wasn't messing with her...? AND NOW SHE WANTS STEVE BACK? I THOUGHT IT WAS "ALL BULLSHIT" NANCY...? Fuck off. I cannot stand her, I'm fucking sorry. If she died, I would care fucking less. I'd whoop and holler, sorry not sorry. She has no real character development. And in s4, I feel like they lost all that development that they had...? AND FOR WHAT REASON!?!
Speaking of the topic that is being out of character, I don't think Lucas would ever turn his back on his friends. In the end, he came back together with them, yes... but I don't think he ever would do that. Nonetheless, they're teenagers now and they have a lot of hormones and shit changes but I don't know... It made me angry on the others' behaves. Regardless, they came back and grouped but still.
The stars of the season, in my opinion, is the gang from Indiana. (minus the shebang that's Steve and Nancy.) Sadie's portray on Max is, as always, INCREDIBLE. Dear Billy has to be one of my favorite episodes, just for her acting there alone.
(Plus, I got to see Billy again for like 5 minutes which was nice... Still wish he would've survived somehow but I guess not... despite, y'know, Brenner being alive and whatever the fuck. WHICH AGAIN CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN IF HE HAD MENTIONED HOW HE CAME BACK... DID I MISS SOMETHING?)
The plot twist of the finale was so good, though. My only complaint was the villain's speech was TOO FUCKING LONG. IT TOOK UP HALF THE FUCKING EPISODE AND IT WAS JUST... "Oh, that's how we're ending this volume? Okay." Also wish Robert Englund was in more than one episode, seeing as they had made such a big deal that he was there..? But whatever, I guess.
TL;DR --
I enjoyed it for the most part. I just wish TV shows (and movies) wouldn't fuck up their character's arc and development so badly, lol.
