thoughts on "Welcome Home, Franklin"
(SPOILERS AHEAD)
Okay, this special was really great.
I love Franklin. He's a sweet boy who never had a unkind thing to say about Charlie Brown- he was the straight man to the wacky antics of the Peanuts gang. But I never got the feeling he was more than that in the strips. This special serves as the backstory and character that Franklin didn't originally get, but sorely needed.
And this special beautifully and gracefully rights some of the wrongs that past Peanuts media made.
I was surprised this film even went there in terms of discussing racism a little. Peanuts is an IP that you expect people to be overly-protective of. 'No, the scene in "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" isn't racist- and it's NOT weird that all the kids are white' is more of what I expected to hear from this. But refreshingly, this special addresses it. Like, YEAH, there IS a lack of diversity! It feels so much better for that stuff to be acknowledged rather than swept under the rug.
I love the fact that Franklin is unsure of himself and his ability to make friends. This makes him super relatable and sympathetic, and also makes a clear connection to why he gravitates towards Charlie Brown. The two of them bond over their shared feeling of being "the Underdog", and not knowing how to make friends or navigate social landscapes. Franklin also opens up Charlie Brown to new experiences and knowledge, telling him about discrimination and introducing him to music he hasn't heard before. Not only that, but Franklin encourages Charlie Brown to be less anxious and push himself further. And Charlie Brown is a much needed friend and sympathetic ear for Franklin. They have each other's back and their bond is undeniable.
That's what this special is truly trying to get at. That friends of different backgrounds and experiences from us can help us to learn and grow as people. I think that's a really wonderful message and one that we all need at any age, and one that we especially need now.
Overall, this special really blew it out of the water, and I gave it five stars.
Special shoutout if you were able to make it to the premiere stream in the Peanuts discord, that made it twice as fun to watch!
Some miscellaneous thoughts under the cut
Franklin's music taste is so elite
The music picks in this movie are honestly fantastic. The soundtrack really elevates the experience and every song is awesome
THE BEACH SCENE! It's so rewarding as a fan to see moments that are plucked straight from the strip. It feels like the people making them really know Peanuts
All the little tiny schrucy crumbs- I eat it up. I know screenshots and gifs will be made and posted and I will be reblogging them.
Lucy and Franklin's beef- I wasn't expecting it but it's so funny and adds some really great dynamics into the fold
Since this is about the friendship between Charlie Brown and Franklin specifically, minor inaccuracies Franklin actually being on Peppermint Patty's baseball team in the strip are forgiven. Some fans more scrupulous than I would probably have an issue with this, but I'm not one of those fans. This isn't 100% faithful to Peanuts Lore but I don't mind.
I LOVED the scene where Charlie Brown wants to pull the breaks and Franklin wants to keep going. It shows so much without saying anything, and it gives way for great conflict that makes sense and comes from real places within the characters
And I love how Franklin is allowed to be mad, and he and Charlie Brown fight. We're not afraid to rock the boat anymore, and it makes Franklin feel so much more human
Just the right amount of Snoopy scenes, this one reached the perfect balance of Snoopy and Story
Everything is just so overwhelmingly cute here I had to restrain myself from writing "cute" or any of its synonyms in my review
"We saved you a seat!" <3333
#Welcome Home Franklin#my posts#reviews#Peanuts#franklin armstrong#Charlie Brown#theres so much stuff im forgetting to mention but my ADD mind cant think of everything at once sorry guys

Just a sappy year-end post you can continue scrolling lol…
I’ve written and rewritten this so many times over the past week. The words were failing me on how to sum up this year, so instead here’s a long-winded stream of consciousness:
There are so many things that now have a new meaning for me thanks to the last nine months.
Sequins. Donuts. Ties. Mirrors. Belt buckles. Snakes. Holsters. Back Alleys. Bakeries. Pickles. Landscaping. Gray sweatpants. Honestly, the list goes on.
At the start of 2023, I was soooo excited to watch The Last of Us. I was a fan of Pedro and Mr. Rhoorl was a huge fan of the game so it was like a win-win and something for us to watch together. Little did I know how much that show and Pedro’s subsequent SNL appearance would change the rest of my year.
I still laugh when I think about how long I spent lurking on the Pedro subreddit before I said anything. But little by little, my upvotes turned into me leaving comments and those comments led to me finding some pretty awesome people. Especially those who encouraged me when I threw out a random comment about how I was thinking of writing a fic of my own after consuming so many stories and feeling inspired (I read my first fanfic in March of this year!).
I remember going to the movies one day in the summer. I arrived early (taking solace in having some peace and quiet) and as I sat waiting for the trailers to start, I typed up the skeleton of the Working Title plot on my phone. Fast forward to impulsively creating a Tumblr account and feeling like the eldest millennial ever hoping I wouldn’t get laughed out of the room as I tried navigating this site and interacting with people and their posts.
Then a few weeks later, I was reading one of my favorite series (The Layover) and got this idea about an AU where the Triple Frontier boys start a landscaping business. I was so scared to message Megan about it, hoping she wouldn’t think I was completely nuts (well, maybe she does). I’m so happy I took that deep breath and hit send on that message. It was an uncharacteristic move for me, normally I’d just think ha that’s a funny idea and keep it to myself. But so much of the summer was pushing myself out of my comfort zone so I thought, why not?
Speaking of taking a deep breath and hitting send…who knew that the idea of hosting an online watch party would bring so many amazing people into my life? It all feels like a fever dream sometimes with how it all came together and I’m not sure how everything fell into place but grateful doesn’t even begin to express how it makes me feel.
I’ll spare you the story since this is getting long, but this year had many highs and many lows. And what really helped me a lot during these lows was a lot of you reading this. Thank you for the encouragement, the laughs, and the shoulders to cry on during those low days, along with the silly graphics and gifs that made me smile (or gave me thots). I’m a pretty reserved and closed-off person away from here, but this year I decided to get out of my comfort zone a bit and just … try.
I know I'll probably never meet Pedro (except in my dreams), but damn if I did ever meet him I would love to say thank you. Thank you for putting so much heart and soul into your performances. Thank you for inspiring creativity in me that I didn't think was there anymore and for inspiring others to bear their souls out onto the internet by way of amazing, heartfelt, and thot-tastic stories. Thank you for giving me a reason to meet people from literally all over the world. This place feels like a playground sometimes with friendships striking up in the simplest ways, like “Hey you like Pedro/this character/this very specific photoshoot/this gif? Cool, me too let’s be friends.” I am so thankful to have made some true connections and friends here that I otherwise would not have met.
(And finally, because I'm me, I’d thank Pedro for being so broad and having amazing hair…ok I wouldn’t actually say that because I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to form a sentence but dammit I would be thinking it that’s for sure!)
So to sum up, this year has been one of growth, of taking deep breaths, of silencing the little voice in my head, and hitting send, or post, or reblog. It doesn’t always work, but when it does, it’s magic.
If you made it this far, thank you. I’ve gone through a few tissues writing this so I’m going to wrap things up. I don’t really have a profound way to end this rambling other than to say I’m here if you ever want to pop by and say hello or yell about the latest Pedro photo. I know there’s a lot of discourse on here from time to time about various pockets/groups but I feel pretty lucky to have landed in a corner of this site that is supportive and full of love. There’s plenty of room around the table for us all and I wholeheartedly believe in community over competition. I can’t wait to see what 2024 brings.
xoxo
Jess
P.S. At what point do we test the Emergency Alert System ahead of Gladiator 2? I’m going to need a wellness check.
Pedro tax for your troubles:

hey! do you think these two lovely dorks really have some kind of romantic relationships off stage or it’s just me?🥺 every time when i start to think about this my brain just like ewsxswasszzw
I couldn't sleep all night because I was thinking about that message, lol 😆
let's start with the fact that i love the band since 99. i started listening to them when i was 11 years old and of course i didn't think about their relationship within the band (I didn't even know what they looked like for a very long time because I only had a live aus berlin cassette which i stolen from a classmate and it was without a cover ( I wanted to destroy it because he bored everyone at school by constantly talking about this group 😁 fun fact: this guy is my best friend now and I'm his daughter's godmother)
soo one day in a popular russian teen magazine i saw a picture of them (paul and richard) and a caption under the picture that changed my life 😆
the caption went like this (I just still keep this magazine and was able to translate that, do not think that I remember it by heart 😆) : «A month ago, being in Moscow, the members of the band Rammstein claimed that they loved only women and were not interested in guys! And what they were doing on stage (sticking microphones into each other in different places) was just an artistic image. just a joke. then the cult Germans left to continue to amaze Europe with their music. Poor guys, they didn't know that we (the magazine's editorial staff) followed them. And in Prague we had already seen guitarists Paul Landers and Richard Kruspe admiring each other. Look at these lovebirds, isn't that love?»
and I remember looking at that picture and thinking "omg! this is really love!" 🥰 many months later I learned what fanfiction was and what slash was and how surprised I was that I wasn't the only one who thought that about them, that there was something sweet between them? (it was 2004, for some reason I thought it was 01/02, but no, it was 2004)
and I made so many new friends and we had so many awesome stories in russian fandom!!! and ever since then in my head I've always thought that there was something going on between them. there weren't many videos and pictures back then, but every time I saw them next to each other it made me smile 🥰
then youtube came along and I probably saw all the videos that were posted back then and always watched how Richard and Paul acted with each other
I started making gifs since 2010 and it's always been a joy to find cute moments from concerts with them 💖
and then 2019 happened.
i remember that day so well. i downloaded this huge video from spain and started watching it from the beginning, i wasn't expecting anything at all. and first i saw richard kiss paul's forehead at puppe and i was like WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN?
and then someone sent me a text saying "watch auslander" and I rewinded to that moment and saw that kiss on the lips and you should have heard my screams! I CLOSED MY LAPTOP, I THREW IT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BED. I FELL OFF THE BED ONTO THE FLOOR AND I JUST SCREAMED LIKE THIS: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (and with a lot of russian swear words 😆😆😆😆😆 )
my dad came running into the room and thought I was dying or being killed 😆
I thought my spirit had left my body
I had imagined it in my head for so many years (really many many years!!) and now I saw it for real? I couldn't even in my wildest dreams imagine that this could actually happen.
I still have a lot of questions: how did they decide to do it? why? for what? what does it all mean? was it scripted? i think in 19 yes, and in 22 too. but still every time it was something cute and new and they are adults and hardly anyone could make them do it. they just… decided to kiss each other's ~lips~ every time and they like it? all those thoughts amaze me and i don't have a heterosexual explanation for it (but maybe i am being biased 😁)
of course I don't know and I don't think I'll ever know what's really going on between them, but the whole history of their relationship, what they've gone through to be here when they can just kiss each other is amazing to me! It's so beautiful and I'm just happy that they let us see it too… the tenderness they have for each other? and it doesn't matter what it's called and whether they're together or not, the main thing is that they look so happy around each other 🥰 that's enough for me 💖💖💖

oh yippie more asks:D
i have a lot :3
🍓🌵🥑🥤🌻🧃🧸🪐🍬🦷❄️🌿🏜️🍦🌸🎨🧩
you dont have to answer all of them but here you gooo
oh hell yes this is gonna be so fun <3
🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction?
i don't remember specifically how, but i know i first interacted with shipping on youtube in like 2007-08 back when you could comment on people's profiles and message other users, so i think i must have commented on some like.. pokeshipping amv and just struck up a convo before i followed some friends i made to ff.net and deviantart, and started writing on ff.net lol
🌵 ⇢ share the link to a playlist you love
so i don't use spotify, i'm an apple music girlie and i really only listen to my own playlist i made that is composed of all of my top 100 songs of the year going back to 2015 LMAO
🥑 ⇢ you accidentally killed somebody, which mutual(s) do you text for help?
@actuallyalaska she got me
🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love
every writer i tagged yesterday!! all of whom take part of the @bandomthememonths go read all these great fics by these awesome writers<333
🌻 ⇢ tag someone you appreciate but don't talk to on a regular basis
@judasisgayriot your gifs are a godsend and i always love getting a comment from them <3
🧃 ⇢ share some personal lore you never posted about before
my name is short for guinevere lol
🧸 ⇢ what's the fastest way to become your mutual?
so i'm sort of picky abt my dash lol i try to stick to foblr so if you post mostly fob then i'll prob follow! i do a good scroll through to get the vibe, but if they post a lot of non fob stuff, i usually skip bc its just not for me but no hard feelings ever<3
🪐 ⇢ name three good things going on in your life right now
well i just bought a new (refurbished) computer for the first time in a few years, so that's exciting! i've recently started making embroidery patches and that's been a lot of fun lol idk i've just been having a good time<3 i'm doing a lot of home renovation projects so i'm excited to have a brand new kitchen soon lmao
🍬 ⇢ post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character
not a fandom character but as far as bandom goes, i don't really care for mcr and maybe that just has everything to do with that i'm really not familiar with lore/band mbrs etc., but danger days is the only mcr album i really connected with especially when i was 16-17 and its still one of my favorite albums, but i'm good on their other albums lol
🦷 ⇢ share some personal wisdom or a life hack you swear on
just be kind<3 ik that's super cheesy but i think its easy to forget that other ppl have feelings too and maybe just being nice to someone will make their day.
also don't ever pay full price for anything if you can avoid it. generic brands are just as good as name brands
❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?
i have.. no idea honestly lmao

listen when i figure it out, i'll let you know lol when i'm stuck i eat an edible and stare at the wall until something comes to me

ANY AND ALL!!!! especially when they tell me a specific part they liked - even if its just a line makes my heart go bu-bump<3
🍦 ⇢ name three good things about a character you hate
genuinely i can't think of a character i hate, i really don't watch anything but like. seinfeld and its always sunny in philadelphia lmfao
🌸 ⇢ do you have any pets? if you do, post some pictures of them

🎨 ⇢ link your favourite piece of fanart and explain why you like it

🥹 I just want to say, I'm very new to bg3 and your blog. but I have been on tumblr for a long time, and I understand very well what it's like to be picked on and shunned out of a fandom. I'm very sorry you have to experience it. my blog was always a safe space for me to be myself. a lot of the big blogs in the community disliked me, and suddenly my space became very lonely. I felt like everyone else were friends but I was completely alone.
the only thing that matters is that you be yourself and do what makes you happy. your blog is your zone to do what you like and be away from the rest of the stressful world. it doesn't matter what anyone on here thinks, they don't even know you. and more people appreciate you than you think. big blogs on here are so drama hungry but the vast majority of users don't care about drama and just want to be themselves too in the fandom space.
I love your posts and ocs, they inspire me to want to post about my ocs sometime too! I learned to make gifs because your posts made me very excited about ocs and bg3! just know I am sending you love and support and so many others appreciate you and your blog ❤️
Thank you anon :) I kinda was finding the "right" words to say because another anon already talked about it. I thought it was over but I'm getting anon hate and mutuals are shunning me. Mutuals that would always compliment and show my OCs love and vice versa. Mutuals who I had VERY lovely conversations with. Luckily I have friends in the fandom that I talk to on the daily on Discord but... like you said... it's becoming a very lonely space on Tumblr. I want to continue creating and posting for myself but I've gotten VERY discouraged now that I'm being borderline cyberbullied in my inbox lol and ultimately am being actively pushed out of a fandom because of a bigger blog. I'm so scared to even follow new BG3 blogs in fear of being outcasted continuously. It's not fun.
I saw your other message also and thank you again. Surprised you even saw my little vent before I deleted it. I'm just getting discouraged at this point I guess. Also thats AWESOME that I inspired you. Honestly I need think of a tag because I wanna see people's stuff. Thats really cool :)

Vi's 2022 Follow Forever!
It's 2023 for me now and I wanna say thank you to all the lovely lovely people that I befriended so far who made my dash (and in case of some, my life) so much more beautiful.

Being there for me, helping me out, keeping me sane, giving me advices. I don't know what I did to deserve you. You're so nice and sweet and just amazing. I love you loads and more. Thank you so much for being ❤️❤️
@decemberries dheera meri jaan, meri dharampartner. I can't believe I have a Tumblr mutual who I had the blessing to meet IRL. It was an extremely fun experience. And I love you even more now that I know you personally. You're funny and pretty and so so lovely, but along with that, you're so talented and wise and no I'm not going to hear another word of denial. You're someone who understands me, knows me from up close, and I'm glad that I have you for real in my life now. You're just awesome. I love you so muchhh 💖
@hlkings mari, you're one of the few people on here that I trust and open up with. You're so sweet and wise. Always there for everyone, willing to help them deal with their problems, guiding them, advising them. I can't appreciate you enough. Thank you for being there for me too. I love you a lot you know that? I do. And I admire you too. Your gifs are one of my most fav things on here. Never stop being creative and fun and of course, horny as usual, my favourite whore 💞

The amazingly awesome @witchygagirl threw my favourite Winchester at me and I may have spent a little too long thinking about these.
A: Affection, B: Best Friend, J: Jealousy and K: Kisses.
A: Affection; How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?
Sam loves having some sort of physical contact with you. Sometimes that's full body hugs, other times that's a brush of his little finger against yours. He feels comfortable in your company and will take his lead from you. You want to sit in his lap, he's right there for it. You want to sit in armchairs on opposite sides of the room, he's okay with that.
B: Best Friend; What would they be like as a bff? How would the friendship start?
Your friendship with Sam would be an internet one. He comments on a post you made and that started a back and forth that then spilled into dms and he found himself sending you gifs, memes and random thoughts every day. He is always there for you. He might not be able to respond to messages immediately, but he definitely knows exactly what to respond to make you smile or roll your eyes. The two of you talk about what you'd do if you ever met up, and he is more open with you than with anyone he knows in rl. When he discovered the two of you could screenshare and watch movies and things together, that was a total game changer!
J: Jealousy; How jealous do they get? What do they do when they're jealous?
Sam would like to think he's not the jealous type, and that's mostly right, but there are flickers, just tiny moments when he sees you with Dean. Sure, he is happy you and his brother get on so well, but there is a little nagging voice of insecurity in the back of his mind that says, just maybe, you'd be happier with Dean? He knows it's crazy, and when it hits he tends to get really quiet and pull away from the two of you. Those moments are always fleeting though, and then he feels guilty about it.
K: Kisses; What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?
Sam Winchester kisses are intense with a sense of urgency, coupled with a surprising tenderness and vulnerability that leave you breathless and craving more. His lips are so soft and his hands so large as they cup your face or run through your hair. Even the briefest of kisses from this boy can leave you weak. He has a habit of kissing the top of your head, mostly because he is a huge moose of a man, but he likes that feeling of being your protector, of surrounding you. He is incredibly weak for your forehead kisses though. In those moments he feels so much smaller than his extensive frame, he finds comfort in you taking such tender care of him.

Recently I unexpectedly had two weeks of paid time off work. As something to do with this sudden free time, I decided to set myself a challenge; to write a short story, which is something I had never done before. I've always admired you for having such a talent with words, and I wanted to give it a try.
And Pia... IT WAS HARD! SO HARD! >.<
I wrote every day. I was sweating. I was pacing. I was groaning. I was laying face down on the couch. Just trying to MAKE. THE. WORDS. DO. THE. THING! You make it look so easy! xDD
I literally had several of your stories open as a cheat sheet, to figure out everything from “how does punctuation work” to “how in the world does he transition from internal monologue to conversation so naturally??”
But after two weeks of nearly full time writing, I finished my first 9358 word story.
Is it any good? Probably not. Am I going to do it again? Again, probably not xD
I'm proud that I finished it and as much as I was struggling, I enjoyed the challenge.
But the most impactful thing I took away from these two weeks, is a whole new level of appreciation for your work. Deep diving into your stories, trying to figure out how they work, it honestly blew my mind. YOU ARE SO GOOD! I've always adored your writing because it resonates with me so much and it never fails to take me on an emotional journey. But now I've had a glimpse of experiencing the craft behind it and all I can say is... You truly are one of the best authors out there.
So, thank you for sharing your incredible work with the world.
Omg anon, this message was so great to get.
Firstly, firstly- you're AMAZING!!! You are so good! You had a goal, you'd never done something like this before, and you finished a 10k story? That's basically a novella! Like, holy shit anon, that's incredible tenacity given you've never done it before! Even I wasn't busting out 10k stories when I first started writing.
This message made me so happy, but also frankly really just impressed as well. In some ways it's easy to kind of not see that I've been doing this for 10+ years, I've had a lot of practice, I write faster than I used to, and I didn't used to write this fast when I started out!
I bet your story is a lot better than you think it is. And tbh, maybe you'll find a way to enjoy the process more. :D I think it's awesome you wrote what you did, even if you never do it again *flails quietly*
But also I have this gif saved permanently on my computer and I think you'll very much relate to it even after two weeks:
Also you can have this one too:
And this one!!!!
Actually you can bet I have a folder of a ton of writing gifs because it's a WHOLE mood:
--
I think it's cool though that you gained an appreciation for the craft. Like anything, I think it's great when it looks like it's easy because frankly if you feel like you're slogging it through my writing and every sentence is a burden then I've done something wrong sdalkfjads
But it is something I care about and put a lot of time and thought into, and I'm just so impressed you tried it. That's cool, friend. You're cool.
Hobbies and new skills have to watch out when you're around, it seems like your determination is very Hulk!Smash level! :D :D :D
#asks and answers#why are people so nice#pia on writing#gif post#okay but in all seriousness THANK YOU#and also like#THANK *YOU*#it's cool that you tried this#it's cool that you learned all this stuff#it's cool you got a novella out of it - like congrats that's literally all it takes#to be a writer#is to write some stuff#this ask made me super happy <33333

I was gonna ask about the bookstore, but then I saw Jenna's ask and Aly, I an SO IN LOVE WITH THAT! It sounds so freaking awesome and I hope you get it finished soon! ♡
Can you tell me about the IRL besties, online worsties?
ahhh thanks!! i hope so too! might even fuck around and work on it today lmao
AND YES OFC!!! I legit only have like... 80 words and a rough ROOOUUUUGH outline finished but... thoughts are being THUNK.
Kurt and Blaine are in the same fandom for a show but have gotten involved in some 2013-esque online ship wars. Kurt is a popular fanfiction writer for a non-canon ship that Blaine doesn't like because it conflicts with HIS otp which IS canon (this sounds irrelevant but its all context) and Blaine is a popular gif maker, so even though they don't follow each other, they end up on each other's dashes and have mutual friends.
BUT unbeknownst to them: they've been best friends irl for their entire lives. So they meet up weekly irl to watch their fave show and then like. eviscerate each other online hours later without knowing it kdhakhjhad
One of them gets an anonymous hate message that leads to what they both think is an unlikely online friendship as well as a love-triangle (square?? pentagon?? no clue. idk anything really) that's really only made up of two people
i have. nO CLUE what comes after that or how it ends all i have is a vibe tbh but i would like to start working on it fr fr soon!

(while we're at it, everyone in this fandom needs to read all the pretty things we could be also by her which i will never shut up about ever in my life)
Thanks so much for the ask, Gwen! <3

(1/2)
OH MY GOD AAA thank you so much rowan, that is honestly such a kind and warm thing to say?? It means a lot to me that you found passion in working on your oc page!! I'm so proud of you, you are doing amazing! <3 Being able to express yourself creatively is such a gift and I am honestly so happy for you!!! Good luck with those gifs, I am sure you will make some really cool ones! You are amazing, my friend, and I love you sm!!! <3 Would absolutely love hearing about your dos2/bg3 impressions and ocs! I am always here to gush about those two games because they are incredibly important for me. :3

This is spurred by my social anxiety, and your very well written and interesting post about the insidiousness of the ROP critiques. So ignore if you want.
I’m someone who has not watches the show. I definitely had the initial aggressive reaction of Amazon is Evil don’t touch MY 2nd Age!!!😡
I decided to see if I changed my mind based on tumblr osmosis, and hold off on watching dependent on if I liked what I saw.
I personally liked what I saw of the dwarves and the Nùmenor designs and casting. Like I’d have enjoyed a beard on Disa but otherwise she looks awesome and I have no complaints whatsoever about how Nùmenor looks.
But I have a visceral (shallow and petty) negative reaction to Elrond, Gil-Galad, Finrod, and Celebrimbor’s faces. The “just some guy” complaint.
Is that racist and fascist? Like I know it’s nitpicky and petty, but I don’t want to buy into the toxic conservatism, you know?
hey friend, thanks for asking, always happy to discuss rop in good faith!! the casting of elrond, celebrimbor, and gil-galad is something i've seen a smattering of criticism about, so you're not alone. and i genuinely don't see disliking the casting as a problem (esp not related to anything racist/fashy since they're all white dudes playing white dudes lol!!) but honestly, i'd suggest watching the show and seeing their performances, since it'll give you a far better picture of who the characters are than just in still images/gifs.
i was not sold on robrond (robert elrond) for a long time, because i kinda thought he looked like peter pan--till the culmination of his storyline with durin. then i was 100% fucking SOLD because of the performance and chemistry. that made me reappraise the casting, which imho is GREAT for a young elrond still figuring out his place in the world. short hair and all—i feel like there's a distinct possibility we'll get long hair elrond in future seasons :)
similarly with celebrimbor. i know silm celebrimbor and popular fanon interpretation is very different from charles edwards celebrimbor. but over the course of the show, it was the charm and energy that won me over. and... i get the thirst now. i do. his energy is incredibly charismatic.
gil-galad unfortunately isn't a huge part of s1 (though it's confirmed he'll be more major moving forward--bear mccreary is also composing a gil-galad theme for the soundtrack already!!) not everyone has been convinced, but i'll be honest there is a s1 episode 8 moment that actually really endeared him to me and now i'm similarly sold!
i think it's totally fair to have that initial petty/shallow negative reaction if you don't think they look right for elves/don't think they're hot (sorry 2 the actors lol!!!!) because that's a pretty personal metric anyway. but watching onscreen is a very different experience from just seeing still images and gifs. you might be surprised--i certainly was (...i've written the elrond x durin fanfic i wanted to see in the world and i am now SUPER attracted to robrond. rip my life.) let me know what you think, i promise i'm happy to receive asks and messages and i'm not scary :D

Hey shan,
You aren't stupid, everything you say has worth and you deserve to be treated as such. I think you are very smart and kind and that everything you say is awesome. I don't think bimbo is a negative word, like himbo. They are both positive words I think. Either way, if you don't like to be called it, then please don't let you or anyone else call you that, and if they do send them my way, I will fight them. Also shan, you are a very very beautiful soul, and I mean that in the purest way possible. I truly enjoy seeing you on my dash and chatting with you in the server 💜. I hope that your day gets better and you get treated nicer, personally I think you should wow whoever made you feel inadequate and also tell them to fuck off. They aren't worth your time if they make you feel like shit 💜
And here's a cute monkey family hug for you (I don't actually know what these are but they look like monkeys)
arne i love you so much😭😭 all the sweet messages and cute gifs in my inbox, thank you🥺💖💖
usually i wear bimbo like a badge, like it's me that started calling myself that lmaooo, but ugh, sometimes it just feels like im looked down on and like, nobody takes me at my word, like if i say i know something 100% without question, i have to fight and prove that i know it, and even then most of the time that isn't good enough either!
idk im just really struggling lately, it's why ive kinda been ia in the server even tho i miss u all😭
but i'll be okay, i always am, and thank you for being one of the sweetest people ever, im so lucky to be able to call you a friend❤️❤️

💝☆ put this star into the inbox of your favourite blogs. it’s time to spread positivity!! ☆💝 ପ(๑•ᴗ•๑)ଓ ♡ 🐝💕
Thank you, Ana! I feel happy and honored that you sent this cute message to me. ♡( ◡‿◡ )
Tbh, I never knew a day would come that I would have this kind of interaction with you. I just really love your creations and whenever I see them, it made me really happy. I could feel that you always put your heart into your beautiful creations. Back then, when I see your posts, I always thought to myself, "Oh, this person posted again and it's awesome as usual". And then you started reblogging some of my GIFs too and you would drop some nice comments on the tags too. Seeing you share your amazing works and appreciating other people's works says something. I hope you stay the way you are and I hope you continue sharing your creations with the world. It not only makes people happy but inspires others to be more creative and also have the courage to share their stuff.
Sorry, this kinda turned into a fan letter, huh? XD Anyways, please stay safe and healthy! I wish you all the happiness in life because you deserve it! Have a nice and lovely day, my friend!! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
