For all there is negative to say about the spin-off and Berlin I at least have the comfort to know that Pina would never mischaracterize and misrepresent Berlin as the fandom did when everyone just decided to shut their eyes and ears in the Viking Gold scene and instead assumed the exact opposite of what happened. Just completely ignoring what Andrés literally said in the scene so just they would have a "at core Martín and Berlin are actually the opposite uwu and Martin is so much better" when the scenes were literal direct parallels of each other and where Andrés and Martín said the exact same things just about different cultures and different groups of people

#i'm awake at night thinking about this shit every night #there's a lot of blatand mischaracterization of both characters in this fandom that annoy me to no end #but literally nothing infuriates me as much as this #just the inability to hear the clear simple words he said out loud in the clearest terms possible just to prove that somehow Martín #is better than him at heart #it's so annoying #Andrés LITERALLY in the scene criticizes the vikings for pillaging iconic art pieces from other cultures and melting it to make their own #shit; which he doesn’t think of as art just because it's old #this is a direct parallel to Martín's “the Spanish stole it from South American indigenous tribes” not an apposite wtf #in WHAT WORLD do you think anyone would compare the vikings to south american indigenous tribes???#There are some things Andrés is worse about than Martin and vice versa #this is NOT one of them #literally both of them showed the same position???#you cannot be glamorizing the vikings so much in your head that you can't hear direct criticism of them when it happens #it wasn’t even subtle #how could anyone mishear this #Martin didn’t want to steal it (which makes no sense in its own right) because it's ancient art that belongs to those tribes (Spain had it #so again makes no sense. but anyway)#Andres wanted to steal the vikings gold because he didn’t think it was art and it was made by melting actual ancient art pieces #that belonged to the greeks and romans and Phoenicians and he didn’t think the 'wine goblets and plates' the vikings made with their #their pillaged gold was worth being in a muesum #thats literally his own words to Rafael #how does that make him worse than Martín. sure no one views the greeks and romans etc as victims the same way those tribes were #but the point still stands that they WERE pillaged of the artwork they made #literally absolutely nothing bothers me more than the interpretation of this scene #i don't care about both scenes in their own right but the shook I went through when I read what people on here thought. man

the way lando’s demeanor changed as soon as oscar came into the interview is just stunning

like he went from lando “media-trained answers” norris to lando “soft, inner-personality” norris

#the soft personality (reserved only for one oscar piastri might i add)#it wasn’t subtle #the change i mean #like i feel like you could 100 percent sense the change even if you don’t know him #their friendship has changed so much and hopefully it continues in the positive direction #f1 #formula 1 #lando norris #oscar piastri #landoscar #mclaren #bahrain gp 2024 #during the f1tv interview btw not the sky sports one!

aziraphale fell first crowley fell harder—in the sense that the realization of how he felt hit him all at once and then he couldn’t keep it in for longer than ten minutes, whereas aziraphale’s “oh” moment was when crowley saved the books and he has been grappling with his feelings ever since. aziraphale “burned so long and so quiet” and crowley spontaneously combusted

#good omens #good omens spoilers #good omens 2 #i’ve seen a headcanon floating about that aziraphale is oblivious and doesn’t even realize he feels the same way as crowley #which #i mean maybe but i just don’t buy it #those looks he kept giving crowley. trusting him to come back. realizing that crowley enjoys rescuing him. the subtle reaction #when shax said he wasn’t crowley’s type #no i think he knows but was in denial for a long time #would have been aghast at the thought of acting on those feelings #eventually accepted them reluctantly and while reassuring himself that no one ever had to know #and then during season 2 his love for crowley became a source of joy #but it probably still would have taken him years to make the first move

I think one of my least favorite jokes is when, in response to seeing a queer and/or neurodivergent person acting “cringe”, someone (usually white) will go:

“Maybe the republicans/alt right had a point”

Or

“Just call me a slur/hate crime me”

We get it, you’re “not like other gays”. Do you want a cookie?

#also (and this isn’t something I can speak on with any authority)#but I believe the ‘just call me a slur’ phrase came from Black communities #in response to more ‘subtle’ anti black dogwhistles #it wasn’t meant to be used to shame people within your own marginalized group because they embarrass you #not even touching the casual use of ‘hate crime’

“no body, no crime” is such a fun song to listen to cause ahaha revenge and then 5 seconds later: the tears

#because este was a victim all she did was call him out and he Killed her and then he wasn’t even subtle about it (his new tires+mistress-#-moving in immediately) and nobody cared enough to see the signs it’s only the narrator that is trying to prove that he did it but then when #-HE was murdered his mistress immediately blamed over evidence that was oh so obvious but wasn’t the husband so obvious too?#but they didn’t care when it was este (a woman) but they cared so much when it was the husband that the mistress was-#-immediately blamed. baby it’s a man’s world

you are truly such a cruel person. i've seen you time and time again say the most rancid things and just being plain out nasty. yes, you did make a good point that that fic was fatphobic and there is a huge issue with that in the fanfic community (and in general), but calling someone a bigot for writing one fic a year ago is absolutely absurd. i would get if it was a repeat behavior and we also don't know how this person speaks in private, but my god your reaction was so hostile. i know what i'm saying to you isn't going to change your mind because you are so stubborn and small minded, but worth a shot i guess.

sure, i might be a bitch but i have a moral backbone

#like that fic wasn’t even subtle #it was just out there !!! uncritical !!! unashamed !!!!#if someone writes an outright racist fic ONCE then i think that’s grounds for disliking them #and calling them a racist #anon #ask #how many times do people have to display bigoted behavior before you entertain the idea that maybe. they just believe it.

not going to write out the essay forming in my head but it’s so crazy to me like i know my vision of dennis is not universal and is mostly influenced by me thinking it’s fun to woobify him with fellow tumblrinas but it’s like…..how are people watching the whole show and thinking he is actually cold hearted angry and calculated and a genius potentially a secret serial killer and that this extends to his relationship with the gang…like idk it’s just funny to me…..there is so much in the show that goes against that

#like I get how he has been characterised across certain seasons but bro glenn himself disagrees…..#also even when the show does play w that it’s like…..#my brain isn’t working bc I might have covid btw #but like. to me all the jokes that allude to those things are more complex than just oh he’s this and that #or oh he might be!!! we never know!!#and at the end of the day there’s so much characterisation that tells us he’s ultimately not those things/could not be those things #he’s a dumbass!! he’s insecure!!!#there are thoughts in my brain rn about this that I can’t articulate on account of the possible covid #like I know the dennis in my head is not the canon dennis. I like to get silly with it #but his vulnerability and his insecurity and dumbassery and his masking as THERE and not exactly subtle!!!#ultimately people can read him however they want but ultimately this is abt how insane it is to me #that ppl actually thought he wanted mac to die from the nuts and was disappointed that he wasn’t….like BRO #I think this + the idea that the gang cannot change AT ALL is like….actually let’s unpack this #need to take a nap or smth #and then make tumblr essays about the piss and shit show #also btw when I say this I’m not like. disregarding the times he HAS been violent and dangerous #I’m just saying this particular reading is funny to me bc girl it’s more complicated than that #anyways. nap time

Honestly I’m kinda glad that the New Life rules are you’ve only 6 lives because it was pretty clear that by the end of Afterlife, many of the ccs were just throwing themselves at death. Less is more

#esp Scott’s vampire death like that wasn’t even trying to be subtle

GUYS FOR THE LAST TIME it’s spelled andrei!!! please stop spelling it andrey!! we CLEARLY see in the shots of sofia’s letters to her mom that it’s spelled andrei. just because his boss spells it andrey on his name tag at the front movie theater doesn’t mean it’s actually spelled that way.

it’s a symbolic representation of the two parts of his character; the part in the mafia, used and unimportant, and the part connected to his loved ones, cared for and appreciated. that’s why sofia spells it andrey in the second letter to her mom in the middle of the movie, because andrei has lost himself in the mafia life and he doesn’t value himself as a person anymore, just as a tool for the family, so that’s what sofia sees him as in that moment.

everyone spelling it andrey is just saying that you only care about his character as far as he can be of use to you, just like his mafia boss and i’m sick of it!! did we even watch the same movie???

#goncharov #it’s just so frustrating because this wasn’t even that subtle of a detail #idk maybe overreacting

The biggest mistake casting directors on the black phone made was casting Ethan Hawke as the grabber, if they actually made him as repulsive as he was described to be in the book there wouldn’t be grown ass women writing fan fiction and thirsting over a man who r*pes little boys

#the character was also heavily inspired by John Wayne gacy like it’s not even subtle #and y’all will be like ‘oh but he didn’t r*pe his victims in the movie’ it was blatantly suggested-#-it wasn’t shown because obviously no one wants to see that even in a movie #the black phone

The Great Notes App Exodus: Gothic Dragons

Gotham has always been protected by a Dragon, even before it was ever Gotham.

There was a way about the land Gotham stood upon, that was all twisted magics and darkness and feral energy that never quite fit in man’s modern world. America had but one Guardian Dragon - except for Gotham, which was near a law and country unto itself.

Gotham was a sanctuary for the supernatural, but it was not kind. Those non-humans who risked its dark streets were the brave, or the foolish, or the terribly desperate. Gotham was a dark city, and it’s people adapted or were driven out.

(But should a threat ever come for her, all of Gotham would rise up in response.)

So Gotham had its own Guardian, but the Dragon guarded the world outside from Gotham’s brutality just as much as it shielded Gotham from those that would rend her apart.

But, of course, Dragons were only so many, and new blood must be brought in - human blood, as it often was, and so the trend of Dragon blood “skipping” a generation emerged.

And the bloodline of the Guardian Dragons of Gotham withered, bit by bit, because it is far easier to kill a human of dragon blood than it is to kill a Dragon of human descent.

(And Bruce Wayne has never hated this truth of the world more - because his parents had been Skipped, human, and if they had been dragons, they’d still be there with him.

But they weren’t.

It was just Bruce, a fledgling Dragon, and the butler left to care for him.)

-

Although Gotham had only ever had one Guardian Dragon, it had at one time had a whole lineage of Dragons capable of taking up the mantle. As the Dragons intermarried, however, more and more lines broke off with human kin, occasionally producing dragons.

But the Guardian Line had been reduced to one untrained hatchling. And that hatchling didn’t much care if it was a Dragon or a dragon that was Guardian of the city, just that there was someone to Guard it.

The problem is, of course, that the hatchling needs training - but he cannot get that in Gotham.

So he leaves.

He comes back ready to pull his city back from the brink, by force if (when) necessary.

Here’s the thing - Bruce is no Dragon, because for all that he is the last of the Guardian line he doesn’t adhere to the rules of that duty.

A Guardian’s duty is to the supernatural beings they protect.

Bruce has already decided that that is not enough. Human or Magical Being, if no one else will step in, then he will.

Bruce might have been the Gotham Dragon, but that didn’t mean he was the only dragon in the city.

The thing about dragon blood is that it tended to turn up dragons unexpectedly in families that had been mostly human. A dragon ancestor could have human children, and their children have human children, and then a dragon. It was a recessive trait when introduced into human bloodlines, and especially if it was paired with yet more human lines, but it also was tellingly stubborn - a human may only have a single draconian ancestor hundreds of years back, but they could still unexpectedly turn up a dragon hatchling.

It was just sheer dumb luck that a bunch of said unexpected hatchlings turned up within the span of the same generation.

#The Great Notes App Exodus #graphite writes #american dragon was a show I held close to my heart the entire first season #and then they changed the art style and I Literally Could Not watch it #But the concept is so cool and I love dragons so here it is transplanted onto the batfam <3 #I also considered a version where the rest of the batfam are all different mythical creatures or even just human #Dick would be a water-based siren because I love the thought of him longing for the sky like his bird-siren ancestors #the thought is that you have three variations of sirens: the nymph-like sirens who are the oldest and rarest version #The bird-based sirens who came after Demeter charged them with finding Persephone #And the most prevalent water-based sirens from when they threw themselves into the sea when they couldn’t lure in Odysseus or w/e #So ever since sirens long for the skies and it’s all very tragic <3 #Jason would be a werewolf because I adore the image of this tiny floppy puppy coming back as this two-metre tall feral behemoth of a beast #and Tim as always gave me trouble so I decided he got turned into a vampire while wandering the streets alone one night with his camera #Babs had latent naga blood that activated when she lost the use of her legs so now if she wants she can spawn a snake tail instead #she can’t go out like that obvi but it’s nice being able to get around regardless of her injury #Cass is human because I thought it was funny that the most dangerous batfam member was the only one who wasn’t a mythical being <3 #Fuck knows about Steph tho #Some kinda vocal mimic maybe??#Something subtle so that she seems human at first (and second) (and third) glance #It doesn’t help that her personality is so loud since it tends to distract people from any of her Otherness
