honestly just in general it's very exhausting to try to analyze media that is literally meant to be analyzed, only for the replies to be filled with people arguing not against your analysis, but against the premise that the media can be analyzed at all.

i don't even know what to say about it without starting to really betray my frustration, so i'll just settle with— just don't engage with analysis posts? I'm serious. if you're typing a response to a media analysis post, reread what you've written and ask yourself "is this comment/response against the very concept of analyzing the media at all?" and if the answer is yes then delete it all and go sit in the shame corner. throw your curtains away if you want to so bad and stop telling me that I'm not allowed to hum and haw at the fact mine are blue

“shipping luffy with zoro is weird because luffy is ace” what if I headcanon zoro as ace too. what u gonna do now

-might get kicked out for unrelated reasons (HOA) But small look at the landlord situation. Landlord emailed us some legal documents earlier- which included an admission that he's been getting the rent checks (which he was previously claiming we weren't paying and citing as his grounds for eviction) - as well as documentation of two other instances of attempted extortion.... I've lost the plot completely at this point

I just wanna put it out there that this is a Netflix Live Action ATLA safe space.

Does this mean that I like or agree with every choice the live action made? Definitely not. But it does mean that overall I find the live action interesting to talk about, even when it comes to the stuff I took issue with. It means I'm interested in hearing and sharing critical opinions as well as praise, and I'm interested in interpretations that are different from mine. And I will always try to approach things inquisitively and to judge the show for what it is (which, let's be honest, is basically someone's canon divergent fanfiction put to screen).

But what I'm not interested in is being right, or tearing the show down. So if you're looking for a place to read or share opinions about the live action that skew positive, or that are critical without being angry, or that are relatively neutral with maybe a dab of scientific curiosity, I hope you can find that here.

say it with me yall,

All I'm saying is that Azriel's shadows first manifested when he needed companionship because he had none, he was severely traumatized and in emotional and physical distress, and he needed someone, something, anything to reach out and offer him comfort and help him feel safe, so it's not that far of a reach to say that when the shadows do vanish (not run away or hide, simply vanish), it's because he feels safe enough to be without them

"They won't release ENG Book 6 so soon because the players won't have the cards necessary to finish the book since they haven't had all the events JP server had" my dear, I didn't have the cards necessary to win ANY book, other than maybe 1. You think I care if I'm underlevel? You think I will not chuck my lvl 60 SSR Riddle at that nerd's face and God be damned? You think I'm afraid of facing a 1781929373HP enemy with my 37000HP team?

“Kingdom Hearts being an epic slow burn gay romance would be incredibly impactful to people both personally and as a landmark in queer representation by extremely popular and established characters. It has decades of legitimate buildup and has the potential to be both incredibly validating to queer fans everywhere and even possibly sway the minds of those who love the characters but may not have much contact or knowledge of queerness.”

and

“The Kingdom Hearts series is honestly kind of unique in its unabashed emotional sincerity. How it treats friendships and non-romantic bonds as being both extremely important and powerful, never giving the impression that friendship is lesser to romance, is depressingly still somewhat of a rarity in media. This is very important and validating to many, particularly aromantics but also most everyone who is just Tired of how friendships and romance are often presented in tiers of importance.”

are concepts that can and should co-exist.

Your argument is invalid.

"Star Wars isn't dead y'all are just haters" "Disney saved Star Wars" "It's the Woke Agenda that ruined Star Wars"

My mans, Disney single-handedly destroyed the Sequel Trilogy despite the Force Awakens being the gateway to something potentially fantastic; MCU'd the Mandalorian (a story which originally had nothing to do with the Prequel and OG Trilogy aside from sharing a universe and exploring a sect of a completely different culture/ideology); ego-boosted both Filoni and Favreau to the point where their OC Verse is not only canon but openly disregarding the Star Wars Universe Bible/Lore; gave us a snippet of what an extremely misunderstood indigenous culture is actually like (instead of portraying them as the savages one of the white leads mislabeled as animals that deserved to be slaughtered) only to then wipe out the tribe we got to know for no reason other than shock value thus alienating indigenous/poc viewers in the most disrespectful way possible; completely threw away the entire message of TCW (that being a clone does not make you incapable of being your own person who has their own thoughts, ideals, moral compass and overall identity) by making TBB (a show that does have it's strong points in set design, soundtrack orchestration and overall sound design, but is extremely weak on both characterization and storytelling because they either make the meaningful plot points stretch too thin or focus on the wrong character completely) their go to show marketed for kids instead of the actual kids programming that people shit on for being for, surprise, kids; constantly disregards valid critique from their consumers (to the point where infighting in the Fandom has gotten extremely ugly) that people either give up on interacting completely or simply vanish and take all their things with them (because no one seems to understand where these critiques come from, or how being unable to admit your special little show is imperfect is actually not a good thing for both you and others).

This isn't even accounting for the fact the Fandom seems to have doubled in it's overall toxicity since Disney took over. Which is par for the course when a mega corporation takes hold of something that started out extremely political in nature anyway. The Cash Cow machine needs feeding after all...

I chose the logical course of action.

It’s very funny to see some people use the argument “lack of attraction does not define sexuality” (this especially when it comes to recognizing lesbianism is also about lack of attraction to men).

Because I rarely see the same people who say this to lesbians saying this to aro/ace people whose sexuality obviously is defined by their lack of attraction.

MY TIME HAS COME

🎃🦇👻🍂🍁 HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 🍁🍂👻🦇🎃

Hugs are not always positive. Cuddling is not always positive. kissing is not always positive. gentleness is not always positive.

Context surrounding actions matters. it's what gives them a positive or negative connotation otherwise they are neutral actions. Someone hugging you is not always a positive thing; i was often forced into hugs against my will by my family - hugs are incredibly uncomfortable for me. A lot of forms of touch and intimacy do not bring me the same comfort it does to others.

I wish people would stop viewing certain actions as inherently good or positive when it's the context surrounding those actions that brings them meaning.

for some of us touch is terrible even if it's the "Positive gentle" kind of touch. And that isn't something that needs to be fixed - it's something that needs to be understood and respected. Don't ask for an exception. don't take it personally. don't make it about you and your feelings. Listen, understand, respect. it's not that hard.
