Oh my goodness this episode.

This chapter was already unbelievably sad in the manga, but boy did the anime do it justice. I’m just going to sob/ramble here about my favourite parts so I apologise in advance for clogging your dash.

- Sasha, Connie, Jean. That’s it that’s the whole post -- just kidding, I just love them to bits, I love their trio, I love their friendship, I love how they stick together no matter what, I love how they clearly stand aside from the rest of the Survey Corps and cling to each other because they’re all they have. They’re my babies and I reiterate I will make a blood sacrifice for interactions with Connie and Jean blogs. - Sasha’s voice. She’s grown up so much, but she sounds so tired even when she’s joking about food and teasing Jean about his beard 🥺 - She heard Gabi and Falco. Super-hearing kicked in and Jean immediately trusted her and f*** you Floch & co for not shutting up when he told you to. - Gabi. GABI. Oh my god I love this character so much, and her VA is doing such a wonderful job and the pain in her voice and in her eyes, and the unbelievable struggle when Falco tries to get her to face the contradictions in this senseless war but she just can’t process it. I don’t blame her, she’s like 12, she’s had a difficult life, she only knew one way out and now nothing makes sense anymore. - There’s this thing in psychology called attribution theory, according to which people will attribute one of two causes to any given event: internal cause or external cause. “It’s my fault” or “it’s someone/something else’s fault”. I feel like Falco and Gabi in that scene are both standing on one end of the spectrum because what they’re going through is way too big for them (or anyone) to comprehend, and that’s when Gabi breaks. Like, she needs a culprit or she’ll just collapse. That culprit just happens to be Sasha. Even Gabi looks shocked when she realises she’s killed her - I’m 99% sure she just aimed randomly and shot just wanting to hit someone, anyone, and it happened to be Sasha. - Everybody’s reaction to Sasha getting shot + Sasha’s death. Holy shit that hits hard. Everyone is grieving. Everyone is traumatised. - Obviously Connie and Jean are just... hbfjdfbdjhfvbdjb. I can’t even, it hurts too much 🥺 Connie just lost his better half, his twin, one of the two most important people in the whole wide world to him and he broke my heart. And Jean - so heartbroken too. We didn’t get to see as much of his friendship with Sasha as Connie’s, but still; it was the three of them vs the world. - Mikasa. And. Amin. I will DIE on the hill that Mikasa and Sasha were super close and so important to each other and I hate that Mikasa is losing yet another person she loved 🥺 enough, leave her alone 🥺 and Armin, bby Armin, my god Mikasa and Armin’s tears and screams over her body in her last moments, and Mikasa sobbing by her dead body, I’m in pain. - Eren expression of pure pain and suffering, my g o d, I totally blame him for Liberio and for forcing the Corps’ hand but he’... not okay when Sasha dies. - EVEN LEVI IS IN FUCKING SHOCK. I have like 100 headcanons (ok maybe a little less) on Sasha and Levi but it’s always nice to see that even though we actually see them interact maybe three times in the whole series, she was 100% part of his squad, one of his people. Levi Ackerman is a good. - ‘Niku’ 🥺 - And next week we get to see the funeral, meaning we see Niccolo AND PROBABLY ALSO THE FAMILY AND I’M NOT READY FOR THEM. (nor for Mikasa crying at Sasha’s grave) - Sasha’s death is such an incredible shock to every single character and really goes to show that even a secondary character like her matters infinitely in the AoT universe, and she was one of the few rays of sunshine still alive for these characters who have seen, and lived through, too much. There are probably 10000 more things but I need to finish a reply on my forum before my rp partner goes to bed so i’ll stop here.

#aot spoilers #ooc; potato mun #hello i am full of feelings i cannot process yet so have some incoherent blabbering

Episode • 7/8

Mobile Masterlist •

♡ ☾

Authors note• the next part will be the last part I promise guys

Warnings• language, mentions of death I think at this point I can’t remember

Songs• Something - the Beatles/linger - the cranberries/possibility- Lykke Li/ requiem on water - imperial mammoth

•never

•in your entire life

•were you more surprised than when you opened your locker one morning

•and saw a little note float out, and rest itself in the floor in between you and the locker.

•you honestly didn’t want to pick it up.

•what the hell did that asshole have to say to you now?

•you finally lean down and pick up the note

•and you have to hold your hand over your mouth once you open it to stop the crying

•bc you’re in the middle of school

•that’s

•so embarrassing

•lol don’t even ask what school was like the Monday after prom

•right there

•on the page

•is a poorly drawn sun.

•but this sun was different

•it’s eyes were closed

•and it had tears running down its cheeks

•Jaemin wrote you another note for a number of reasons

•the main one being

•he just wanted you to feel beautiful in your skin again

•he regretted everything he said to you

•but the one he regretted the most was telling you you’re not beautiful

•bc wtf

•who

•wtf

•Jaemin had known you for 8 months

•he knew your insecurities

•he knew what to use against you

•and he used it

•and that made Jaemin worse than some of the worst ppl he’s ever talked to

•and he literally can’t look at himself in the mirror anymore

•one time he got so mad he just fucking punched his mirror and it like, shattered

•really fucked up his hand but he didn’t even care at that point

•he was drunk

•felt numb

•so the letters were a way for him to feel something again

•and for him to express his love for you still

•bc no matter what he says to literally anyone

•all he does is love u

•he like truly believes ur his soulmate

•and that he’ll die alone

•and to top it all off

•his parents loved you so they’re always asking where you are

•and vice versa but you told ur mom what happened

•and Jaemin tried to keep it in but one night at dinner his mom is like “i really miss y/n! I told you what we were having earlier bc I knew it’s y/n’s favorite and I wanted you to invite her!”

•and Jaemin starts eating quietly but then starts remembering the first time you met his parents and you ate this so mid bite he just breaks down and starts sobbing

•bc hes like kept this all in

•he doesn’t want anyone to know he actually cares abt u

•but these are his Parents

•so he tells them

•and they are like “bro what”

•and they ask him if his reputation as a high school student was more important to him than love

•and he already knew it wasn’t

•but he was already 10000% sure u hated his guts

•and you did

•but you also still loved him and u hated it

•so you open the letter

•”Sunshine, it’s been a while. I know what happened between you and Jaemin, and I’m so sorry. I’m doing this again, not because I want you to be with me just because you’re single now (you don’t even know me) but because I was there that night. And I heard him. And y/n, I have never heard a more wrong and idiotic being in my life. And I need you to know he was wrong. I need you to know how beautiful you are; inside and out.

First things first, I didn’t get to say it to you that night, because I’m an idiot, and I wish I had, but you looked so beautiful at prom. You’re hair was curled and hanging over your shoulder, and your pink dress with the flower heals; I wanted to marry you right then and there. You took my breath away, even more than the first time I laid eyes on you. But even then you were absolutely stunning. You are so gorgeous in everything you wear. It doesn’t matter to me. I wanted to kiss you, and hug you, and tell you how much I loved you.

But I didn’t.

And I’m so sorry sunshine. I wish I had. I really do.

If you don’t want these letters, then throw them out without ever looking them, I get it. I just want you to have self confidence again; to feel beautiful and smart again. Because I think - no, I know - that you’re the most stunning person I’ve ever seen, and the smartest. And you teach me everyday how to be a beautiful person inside and out.

I love you sunshine.

Always and forever”

•knowing it was Jaemin

•his letters used to make you so happy

•now it upset you so much

•bc what was the truth

•but you didn’t tell him you knew

•you wanted to see what he had to say

•and if you were being honest, you craved his affection still

•bc u were in love with him

•unfortunately

•but it ended up hurting u more

•he would write more letters than he used to

•before, you would get maybe three of four a month

•now you got at least three a week

•and they were all about how amazing you are

•and in a lot of them

•Jaemin would subtly tear himself down

•u read in between the lines to see it

•and you were honestly scared he was gonna kill himself

•you knew all the pressure he had on him; football captain, honors and AP student, the popular boy, the good kid (although that on was a bit tarnished after prom lmao)

•he used to sit with u for hours venting

•and then you would be there to help him

•he no longer had that support

•bc he was such a closed off person, he didn’t tell his friends much of his problems

•well

•no matter what, you were not having it

•it wasn’t that you were weak. you like to think of it as you being strong. bc even though everything he had done, you still wanted to make sure he was okay in the end. you still had the courage to say something to him.

•so you left a note in his locker

•”Dear my secret admirer,

Not so secret, huh? I was bound to find out, what with all the notes you used to give me in third period?

I’m not writing to you for any reason other than to make sure you’re okay.

I can tell when you’re stressed, I think you forget

I don’t particularly like you. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love you

And as someone who loves you, it would be in your best interest if you don’t put yourself down in the letters you write.

No matter what you say Jaemin, you will always be a good person.

You are an amazing captain that your team members are lucky to have. You lead them in a way that they learn to take pride in the accomplishments AND their failures, and to grow from each.

You are a beautiful friend, Always looking out for the dreamies and making sure that they’re happiness is above your own. You listen and you give advice.

You’re a beautiful son, as is no surprise due to the beautiful people that raised you.

You’re one of the top students in the class, you don’t even have to study and you get A’s.

And no matter how much I want to fight it in my head, you were an amazing boyfriend. Until the end LOL.

What I’m trying to say is life is going to continuously beat you down.

So stand up and swing next

It’s going to want to silence you.

So scream.

Fight back, because it’s what you deserve.

And please, stay safe.

I will always love you,

Y/n

Ps. Please stop with the letters. They hurt too much. “

•so

•you slipped that in after the last bell

•and Jaemin didn’t go to his locker right after school, he rushed to practice

•he did have to get a book from his locker afterwards though, so he was in the hallway alone when he opened his locker and the note floated its way onto the floor

•Jaemin was thankful he was alone, bc he sobbed like a little baby

•you were such a beautiful person, so kind and such such a good soul

•and he hurt you so bad

•and yet you still felt the need to tell him all of that

•he started off by sobbing into his locker

•but after about 5 minutes of that his knees gave out and he slipped onto the floor

•and just put his head in his hands and sobbed

•you

•you were at school

•just down the hall actually

•you were in the music club, and you had a meeting after school to bc you had to write a song for the school club banner parade

•(side note. remember previously when i said that you had this club w mark? tell no one, but you were actually still regularly talking to mark! on the first meeting after prom, mark practically ran into the room and when straight to you, and before you could even open your mouth, he was word vomiting how sorry he was and that he had known you longer than any of those assholes and you were an amazing friend and that “ifyoudontwanttobemyfriendanymoreiunderstandcompletely-“ but you had to literally cover his mouth and you were just like “um, well. let’s just start writing the next assignment together, okay?” and before you knew it, you and mark were laughing again together. he actually made you feel a lot better, a lot closer. you both refused to talk abt any of the other dream members, or yerim and miri, but sometimes, something would slip. those were secretly your favorite moments, when mark would joke about something that happened that day, or when he would bring up an old memory of all 10 of you. over the course of the two months since prom, mark had made you laugh the most, and was your biggest reason to smile, honestly.)

•for a timeline, your meetings are about an hour long, sports is two hours long

•you stayed in late to finish some stuff up, as you were the leader of the club

•so you were walking out with ur bass in hand when u heard someone crying really loud in the hallway next to the one you were in

•you went to check and

•who do u see but Na Jaemin sitting on the floor sobbing into his hands

•you didn’t want to pry but you knew it was about u

•so

•you felt like u kinda had to

Through the lens

Fandom : Les Miserables

Modern!AU, 2134 words, Jehan Prouvaire / Montparnasse

Montparnasse is shortsighted and it’s the end of the world

Also on AO3 !

Friday nights were Jehan's favourite kind of nights. All their lessons were behind them, next Monday was still very, very far away, so far that they could barely envision it, homework could still wait a day, and there were two whole days to fill ahead of them. They could go for a walk, break into a cemetary to write, visit a few shops of their accointances, drop by the library, crash on a friend's couch for a creative session (involving ink, paint and not too many clothes) or a movie night, and still have enough time to cuddle with Montparnasse and sleep in. Even better, when they had finally moved together, Montparnasse had taken upon himself to spend more time at home. Especially Friday nights, since he knew they were important for Jehan.

And so they were now seated on the couch, each at one end, a colorful, hand-knitted plaid thrown on their intertwined legs. Cups of hot cocoa and plates of cookies were strategically placed within their reach. There was no noise in the flat, no music, no noisy neighbours, nothing but Montparnasse (the cat) purring like a tiny motor from where she was sprawled, between her masters' knees. Jehan had opted for some light reading for the evening, and was currently engrossed in a very nice steampunk story about a poet and an adventurer. Well, engrossed to a point. They kept glancing up at Montparnasse, who seemed very interested in whatever he was reading on his phone. The light of the screen gave a blueish glint to his eyes, and a beautiful shine to his hair. Huge concession to the evening, he had traded his black suit, elegant shirt and tailored jacket for a t-shirt, slighty less tight pants and a knit jacket that were way more comfortable. All black, of course, his concession didn't extend to colors. He was reading something apparently fascinating, because he barely moved, only sweeping from time to time to get to the next part, apparently unaware that Jehan was looking at him. Or maybe he knew, and was enjoying the attention. Both were possible, and both were good.

He was browsing through a sale of Armani jackets, when a book suddenly appeared in his field of vision, startling him.

- Here, Jehan chirped, read that ! It's amazing !

They leaned back, waiting for the small chuckle that would soon follow. Montparnasse took the book, brought it close to his face. Very close. And stared at it. And stared at it more, without any reaction. And was he.... squinting ?

- Ma rose, Jehan asked slowly. Is there....

They were cut by a growl. Montparnasse was still not looking at them. His nose was almost burrowed in the book, and he was frowning. After two years, Jehan fancied themselves an expert in Montparnassese, and they could read him... Well, like a book. That attitude, that noise, were more than just a passing annoyance. Something was wrong.

Very gently, Jehan moved fowards, taking the time to pick up the cat and put her on the floor. Montparnasse still hadn't looked up, focusing entirely on the page. Or pretending very hard. Slowly, to give him all the time he needed to retract, Jehan put a hand at the top of the book, and after a few seconds, pulled it out of his boyfriend's grasp. Montparnasse entrelaced his now empty fingers, keeping his eyes firmly lowered.

- Alistair ? Jehan asked again.

They almost never used his given name, opting for pet names instead, and this time, Montparnasse glanced up, briefly, before going back to contemplating his hands. Jehan took them, unfolding the tense fingers one by one. They were cold, as usual, and they held them tight to warm them.

- Alistair, they tried again, tell me...

- Tell me what ? That I can't see from further than a couple feet ? That I broke my sight trying to see in the dark ? That I'm fucking blind as a fucking bat ? Ha ha, very funny, yes ! Go on, laugh ! It's the best fucking joke of the fucking year !

Jehan let the anger wash over him, stroking Montparnasse's skin with their thumb, trying to soothe him. As they expected, the outburst didn't last. Montparnasse soon slumped on himself, eyes down again.

Tenderly, Jehan slid a hand under Montparnasse's chin, lifted his head, until he looked at them, and wiped the small tear pooling at the corner of his eye.

- I'll take you to the optometrist, okay ? And, they added, I promise not to tell anyone about this. Cross my heart and hope to die.

Montparnasse's only answer was a small noise, but there was a tiny smile tugging at his lips. Jehan grabbed his arms and pulled him towards them. Montparnasse resisted a little for show, then let himself be caught in the embrace. Jehan bundled him in the large flaps of his shirt, covering him in swaths of gaudy tartan, and wrapped their arms around him. The buttons of their overalls dug in Montparnasse's back, and he wiggled around a little until he was comfortably leaning against their chest. Jehan retrieved the book from between the cushions, and started reading out loud. Montparnasse laid his head on their shoulder and closed his eyes, letting Jehan's voice lulling him.

~*~

Jehan was sitting on a bench coincidentally set just in front of the optometrist. A notebook was open on their lap, but the page that should have welcomed their newest poem was instead covered in meaningless doodles. As promised, they had made an appointment for Montparnasse, and had walked them there. But Montparnasse had been very clear : he wanted to go there alone. Jehan had kissed him for good luck, and had taken residence on the bench.

Thirty minutes had gone by, and still, no sign of Montparnasse. That wasn't a bad omen, of course. At least, for Montparnasse. He was able to take care of himself. No, that small twinge of dread Jehan was feeling was more for the doctor. Montparnasse didn't like to be poked and prodded, and he knew how to make himself heard. Jehan just hoped that the doctor they had opted for was patient and not too pushy. Or they would be in way more trouble than just a need of glasses.

Finally, as they started to think that they should do something, maybe burst into the office, grab their boyfriend and run, Montparnasse exited the glass doors. He didn't look particulary happy with the situation, but not very angry either. Jehan made an effort to trust him and not check his hands for any trace of blood.

- So, they asked as soon as Montparnasse sat beside them, how did it go ?

- I need glasses, was the stern answer.

His tone was so bitter than Jehan reached over and pulled him against them, very gently. There was no resistance, Montparnasse let himself be hugged, leaning his forehead against Jehan's. They stayed like this for a few minutes, giving Montparnasse the time to relax and get his footing back.

- Do you want to go and pick your glasses ? they finally asked. Or would you prefer contacts ?

- I can't, Montparnasse answered with a dry, unamused laugh. My eyes can't handle them. Too dry, they said. Glasses or nothing.

Jehan held him a little tighter, stroking the short hair on the side of his boyfriend's skull with his thumb. Montparnasse emitted a noise that sounded a little like a purr.

- So ? Do you want to go and pick some glasses ? And then we can go home and binge-watch Say yes to the dress.

- As if I watched that kind of shows, Montparnasse scoffed, but there was the hint of a smile in his voice.

- I know you can't resist talk of 10000$ dresses and Armani-designed cakes.

- You know me so well.

~*~

Choosing glasses was, of course, easier said than done. Montparnasse was very picky in all his fashion choices, and glasses were no exception. He'd been at it for the best part of an hour now, the unwanted pile kept growing bigger, and the clerk's patience was getting thinner. But no matter what she pulled out of her drawers, it couldn't find grace in his eyes.

- Ma rose, Jehan called from where they were browsing through an assortiment of very colored frames, can't you find anything ?

- They are all awful, Montparnasse groaned.

- All of them, really ?

- I don't think there's anything even worth trying in this shop.

He glanced pointedly at Jehan who was sporting a very fancy frame with flowers carved all along the legs.

- Come on, ma rose. I'm sure we could find something. Let's see...

- If you come at me with another pink frame, I swear to god I'll burn the store down to the ground.

The clerk looked vaguely worried now. Jehan smiled at her to reassure her.

- You only need them to read, Jehan remarked, so you'll only wear them at home. I'll be the only one to see them.

- You're the only one to see my pajamas, and that doesn't mean I'm not going to choose something not stylish.

- Not stylish ? You sleep in...

- What do you think of those ? Montparnasse cut hastily.

He was holding a sleek, black frame, with elongated lenses. Probably one he randomly grabbed in the pile, but Jehan had to admit, they looked quite good.

- Try them on ?

Montparnasse glanced at him, then at the glasses in his hand. He looked ready to throw them on the floor. But finally, he slipped them on. Jehan stiffled a gasp, even lifting a hand to their mouth.

- What ? Montparnasse asked. So horrible ?

- No... not at all. You look...

- I look ?

- Stunning.

Montparnasse raised a graceful eyebrow and turned to face the mirror. He studied himself at an angle, then another, lifted his chin, lowered his head.

- It's... not bad, he finally said.

Jehan joined him, laying their hands on Montparnasse's shoulders, and bent down to look at him over his head.

- They fit you very well, they cooed, and they really bring out your eyes.

- I think so, Montparnasse said with a smile.

- Are there of a satisfying brand ?

Montparnasse took off the glasses to look at the small letters on the lens.

- Prada. They'll do.

The clerk smiled, visibly relieved to have found something before the black-dressed man decided to destroy her shop. Jehan smiled, too, pushing the glasses back on Montparnasse's nose.

- You look amazing, my love. Look at you, you're as handsome with glasses as without. You're really a sight to behold.

- A sight you love ?

- A sight I adore. I should take a pic right now and hold it dear.

- Maybe you should do away with the heart-shapped glasses, then.

- Never.

~*~

They were once again settled on the couch, books in hand and hot cocoa within reach. Montparnasse was half-laying against Jehan's chest, toying with the corner of a page. The glasses, brand-new, had been resting on his lap for twenty minutes now, and still, he hadn't made a move to put them on. Jehan hadn't said a word ; that was a path Montparnasse had to take on his own. They slid their fingers through his hair from time to time, but other than that, they didn't move. Even the cat was sitting at the end of the couch, watching them intensely, her tail swaying lazily back and forth.

Montparnasse extended a hand towards the glasses, slowly, as if they could bite him. But they kept sitting here, as innocently as possible for a pair of glasses. He lifted them to the light, studying them, watching the light play through the lenses. Finally, when nothing bad happened, he slid them on his face, adjusting them slightly, and stayed like that, simply looking through them.

- How does it feel ? Jehan asked softly.

- ... clear, mostly. Things aren't blurry anymore. I can focus.

- I'm glad for you.

- If only I could not look like a nerd.

- The most good-looking nerd in existence, I assure you.

Montparnasse nudged them with a groan and settled a little closer, Jehan's arms wrapped around his waist. The cat came on his lap to claim the now free spot and curled up into a small ball, perfectly nestled on his legs. As they picked up their book, Jehan whispered in Montparnasse's ear :

- You know, I'm sure you look awesome, wearing nothing but those glasses...

- My, aren't you a naughty one, Jehan Prouvaire ? And here I thought that you were mostly a pure spirit...

- You know very well that I can't resist you. And I have a soft spot for people with glasses. So, you with glasses....

- ... gets you weak.

- Very weak.

- Well I might find a way to revive you...

Books fell on the floor, completly forgotten, followed by a disgruntled cat, and soon, a whole bunch of clothes. But not the glasses.

I love the gifset you reblogged with Pete and Gwen! I was just wondering what was wrong(?) with the Homecoming review you mentioned in your tags? What are your thoughts on Homecoming? :) Anyways love your blog and your writing! Have a great day!

Thank you! So I have somewhat unsuccessfully attempted not to be Really Negative about Homecoming, except on twitter where I’ve clearly given up altogether, but heads up: I’m about to be pretty negative because I care way too much about Peter Parker. My opinions are my own, etc. Right off the bat: I actually do think Spider-Man: Homecoming is going to be a fun summer movie. It’s probably well-written and engaging! It looks like a good movie about a teenage superhero coming into his own and I’m excited about the diverse cast.

It also, in my own opinion, looks like a terrible movie about Peter Parker.

There was nothing wrong with the review (it was in USA Today) so much as that literally everything it described made me, a person who loves Peter Parker, cringe. Full disclaimer that I haven’t seen Homecoming yet and it’s plausible I might like it in the end! I won’t, but it’s plausible! So everything I’m talking about is based on interviews with the cast and creators/trailers and released scenes/etc.

But I’ve got so much beef with this movie I practically own a cattle ranch.

I’m just going to try to hit my main complaints: Ned Leeds, or, This Should Have Been a Miles Morales Movie, Peter as a New Yorker, Peter Parker vs Spider-Man: A Fake Argument, and Why We Actually Do Need To Know How Ben Died, Thanks. “Traincat, how much have you thought about this?” I don’t want to talk about it! Except I do, under the cut:

1) Ned Leeds. This has been pointed out before, but it bears repeating until all my metaphorical cows come home: Homecoming’s “Ned Leeds” is literally Ganke Lee, Miles Morales’ best friend. Look at Ganke. Now look at 616 Ned. Back to Ganke. Yeah. He looks like him, and he appears to act like him from the little we’ve seen. “Ned” knows Peter is Spider-Man, the way Ganke knows Miles is Spider-Man. Ned is enthusiastic about Peter being Spider-Man, the way Ganke is. Ned’s playing with Legos in a Homecoming trailer, Ganke loves Legos, etc. They didn’t even try to hide the fact that they stole a major Miles Morales character for the benefit of a Peter Parker movie.

It’s possible Ned Leeds will resemble Ned Leeds more closely when the movie comes out, in which case I look forward to Spider-Man 3: Still At Home, where Peter passionately makes out with Ned’s wife and then Ned dies in Germany. But I have my doubts about that.

One of my problems is that I, personally, am not particularly interested in Peter Parker in high school. (WHERE is the movie where he is 30, teaching high school, and played by Alfie Enoch? I want it. You want it. We all want it. Look at him. He’s perfect.) If we’re going to do a teenage Spider-Man, why NOT Miles Morales, who IS the Spider-Man currently in high school, and who HAS been a kid since his introduction several years ago. Peter graduated high school in Amazing Spider-Man #28. There are over 700+ issues of Amazing Spider-Man alone. It’s time to leave the idea of Peter Parker as a character perpetually in high school behind.

BUT, if we were going to make a Teen Peter Parker movie, make it actually about Peter, because the way this is marketed (the gaming laptop commercial? The Audi one where he’s taking a driver’s test? The banking quiz? I cannot think of anything that screams Spider-Man less than German automobiles) sure looks like this is a movie about Relatable Teen Hero Boy-Man, who may be a good kid but he’s not Peter Parker, and who is here to sell you, the viewer, some stuff.

(I cannot believe consumerism giveth the Spider-Mobile, and consumerism taketh it away.)

2) New York! Where I am typing this post from, actually! True story: I never would have even read this review, but my mom read it and to quote: “There’s going to be a problem. Aunt May drives him around.” NAH. N A H. Listen, I know people in New York have cars. I know people in Queens have cars. I know this so well that I have my aunt’s car, which before me sat in a parking lot in Queens 360 days out of the year. Almost any scene you could tell in a regular car, you could tell in a subway car. Also, you can see Washington DC in the trailer, which means that at some point the movie is going to take Peter out of New York, a move I cannot possibly see the point to. I’m going to be an Obnoxious New Yorker for a hot second: Other superheroes might live in New York, but Peter Parker is New York. He has to have a relationship with the city itself. This is one of the things I think The Amazing Spider-Man movies did wonderfully: looking at New York actually felt like looking at New York. The scene with the crane operators, the webbed I LOVE YOU, Gwen’s fire escape, or when he jaywalks through traffic in Union Square. The big fight in Times Square. Homecoming already didn’t FEEL like New York from the trailers and now a chunk of the movie isn’t even taking place in it? Aunt May’s going to drive her nephew around? What’s the point? Why would you strip the New Yorker (”fuck you” means “have a nice day”) from a superhero defined by it?

(PS it’s because Peter is a heavily Jewish-coded character and taking the New Yorker out of him makes him less so. See also, down below, the removal of his guilt/responsibility complex.)

3) He’s Just Always Spider-Man, Guys. The USA Today review also includes a quote from Tom Holland about how “Spider-Man is not Peter Parker” and they’ve “made quite a clear divide between the two” and not to be shady but I think the biggest mistake people make when writing Peter Parker is thinking that there’s ANY difference between Peter and Spider-Man, except that sometimes he has to pretend like lifting the couch takes any effort. He’s always Spider-Man. The kind of confidence you get from being able to throw a Jeep, or crush steel pipes with your bare hands? That doesn’t go away just because you take off a mask. It’s a shallow take. Peter, as a character, isn’t a very reliable narrator of his own personality – you have to look at his actions. Don’t get distracted by his jokes. There’s no divide.

This ties into my problems with the apparently heavy presence of Iron Man – the review calls him a “reluctant father figure” to Peter – beyond my disbelief over not trusting Spider-Man of all characters to carry his own movie. I understand that the MCU is as built over RDJ’s portrayal of Tony Stark as the 616 Universe is built on the legacy of the Fantastic Four, but one of the things I keep in mind when writing Peter is that he doesn’t truly respect anyone else’s authority but his own. As soon as that spider bit him, that was it, he was his own ultimate authority. And now he’s the “Kid Avenger” and Iron Man is making all his tech? Why, when Captain America: Civil War went out of its way to highlight that he’s a tech genius? Why the effort to make Peter Parker less than he is? Oh, right, Relatable Teen Hero Boy-Man. As an advertiser’s daughter, I don’t like being so OBVIOUSLY sold “Spider-Man! He’s just like you! Buy an Audi.”

4) Ben Parker Must Die. Uncle Ben’s death won’t be shown in the movie, they said! HUZZAH, a million voices cried out, drowning out my own cries of, BUT HOW DO I KNOW WHO PETER PARKER IS IF I DON’T KNOW THE EXACT CIRCUMSTANCES OF BEN PARKER’S DEATH.

But this is fine, I said. This is okay. You don’t need to show Ben Parker’s death to feel the impact of it, of course! A skillful storyteller can get around that easily!

Yeah uh so Ben’s death isn’t going to have a large impact on Peter in the movie at all, apparently, which is AN ISSUE when this is THE defining moment.

From this article:

As for why Ben was left out, Watts says he wanted to go all out on focusing on how awesome it would be to become Spider-Man, going from a geeky teen to possessing superhuman powers. Dealing with the fact that Peter is partially guilty for a loved one’s death would have put the dampers on that.

Cool cool cool so you wanted the power and you didn’t want the responsibility. To quote tumblr user myvisagewasted: “Literally the thematic point of Spider-Man is that if you can shatter someone’s face, you GOTTA put a damper on that” and I 10000% agree. Peter, in 616, was initially selfish with his powers. He was an angry teenager who declared he’d only take care of his aunt and his uncle, and that “the rest of the world can go hang.” The Uncle Ben dies, and Peter starts to change. Putting “dampers” on the awesomeness of suddenly being as strong as forty men is called character development, and stripping the guilt complex from Peter is, whether intentional or not, further attempts to hide the character’s Jewish coding. You don’t have to dwell on how much of an impact Ben Parker’s death made on Peter, but I do strongly believe you cannot brush it off because it wouldn’t be fun.

(Ask me about murder lovebirds Spideytorch, or, What If? Uncle Ben’s Death Didn’t Change Peter.)

How Ben dies also matters with regards to who Peter is – for example, in Spider-Man Noir, Ben dies before Peter becomes Spider-Man, and he isn’t shot but rather ripped to shreds and partially eaten by the Vulture. As a result, Noir!Peter is PRETTY COOL with guns and shooting people, whereas 616 Peter has an extreme aversion. If there’s no specifics about Ben’s death, how do we know who Peter is?

Anyway I also believe Peter isn’t his fully formed self until he feels partially responsible for the deaths of three loved ones, so. There’s that. (George Stacy Or Appropriate George Stacy Stand-In Also Must Die.)

Anyway, this has been Traincat’s Unpopular Spider-Man Opinions, the Homecoming edition, thank you for reading, I’m still gonna see the movie because I love Liz Allan and I am Doing It For Her. And also to see if I was right about 10 different theories. Send in the clones.

Ok, how about all the even numbers? Thank you! :)

Gah, thank you so much!!!

2. Who constantly tries to get the otherto shower with them?

Owen. Naked Claire plus the possibility of a shower sex? Yes,please! Also, it’s a responsible water conservation. Claire hates it when he’s doing it when she’s running later because he hogs all the water, and because it usually ends with shower sex, which is a disaster, work ethic-wise.

4. Who is incredible in bed and completely knocks the other offtheir feet the first time they have sex?

Owen.He’s 10000% different from every other man she’s ever been with, and the factthat he was never holding back, and that he was giving as much as he wanted totake was such a turn off she thought she would die it was so good. It took hera solid few hours to recover, poor woman.

6. Who is horny ALL OF THE TIME?

Owen. Especially in the beginning of their relationship whenthey were barely ever leaving the bedroom. Claire even joked that he couldbasically subsist on sex and food and nothing else, which wasn’t that far fromthe truth, to be honest.

8. Who knocks on the other’s door cryingat 4am?

Claire. After the incident and before they got together, sheused to have the worst nightmares, and she’d often crawl into his bed in themiddle of the night because it was the only way she could sleep at all.

10. Who takes like 10 minutes of persuading to get out of bed each morning?

Claire. Contrary to popular belief, she’s not much of a morning person,and just because she had no say in that for years didn’t change the fact thatshe loves sleeping in, and the mornings are actually tough for her, especiallybefore the first three cups of coffee.

12. Who picks fights for no reasonjust so they can have kinky sex?

Ha! Both! I mean, come on!

14. Who has an adorable sneeze andwho sneezes so aggressively they pull a muscle?

Claire has the adorable one and Owenbasically makes the walls shake when he sneezes. It makes her laugh every time –honesty, it’s too hilarious.

16. Who smells the hell out of theother’s shirts when they’re away but pretends that they don’t?

Claire. She can barely ever spend anight alone, so when he’s not around for whatever reason, she wears the hellout of his clothes. Owen knew pretty early in their relationship that she wasthe one, but it was when he came home earlier than planned and found her fastasleep in his hoodie that he knew that there was no going back, no what.

18. Who would survive the apocalypseand who wouldn’t stand a chance?

After the events at the park, theywould both be fine, although they try not to joke about this kind of stuff- itfeels a bit too real sometimes.

20. Who greatly exaggerates being sickevery time they feel even a little poorly just so the other will take care ofthem?

Owen. He’s a giant baby when he’s sick and he loves, loves,loves Claire’s attention, so if pretending to feel slightly worse than heactually does could make her stick around – well, what’s a man gotta do?

More Q’s :)

I’m gonna use this text post to type down first impressions of the new drv3 characters as I meet them? I’m putting these here just so I can see how they change as I watch through the game. under readmore for obvious reasons

(note that I do not have the game, I am watching playthroughs on youtube like a scrub)

akamatsu kaede: cute as heck both design-wise and personality-wise. A+++ protagonist, also very refreshing to have a protag whose talent is not either good luck or ??? or nothing? (finally insert red matsu joke here ehehehe yesss)

shuichi saihara: a really nice sidekick character so far? he’s cute and fairly friendly given the situation which I like. here’s hoping he doesn’t die early or turn into a dick like komaeda

shirogane tsumugi: interesting that they made her someone who designs cosplays for other people and not herself but?? I think that would make her more of a shsl cosplay designer than a shsl cosplayer? cause the word cosplayer implies you... wear the cosplays... I dunno that just kinda bugs me a little for some reason. other than that I don’t have much of an opinion on her yet

amami rantarou: other than his ??? status making him pretty much immune to early death and the fact that he’s the obvious fangirl-magnet character of this game, this dude honestly left zero impression on me? I literally almost forgot to include him in this post because I kind of forgot he existed

chabashira tenko:

no further comment is necessary

(in all seriousness she’s cool and I like her eccentricity but her “hates all men” trait is kind of overbearing)

yumeno himiko: MY CUTIE MY ANGEL MY PRECIOUS BAB SHE IS MY INSTANT FAVE PROTECT HER AT ALL COSTS THENKS HIMIKO 4 MY LIFE. IF SHE DIES BEFORE AT LEAST CHAPTER 3 I AM GONNA VOMIT 10000 ANGRY SUNS

iruma miu: her design was my favorite leading up to the game’s release but literally the first line out of her mouth made me dislike her immediately. which is impressive considering teruteru is my favorite character from this series. her perverseness isn’t amusing like teruteru’s, pitiful like tsumiki’s or even fascinatingly out-there like yamada’s though. it’s just straight-up gross, and unlike those other characters the way she uses her talent just makes her less endearing rather than more. maybe she’ll change for the better later but as of now I don’t have high hopes for her. if she lives longer than himiko I might ragequit this game for a while

kokichi ouma: a little shit but a glorious little shit. his voice is unexpectedly deep but? it fits him well weirdly enough. I’m gonna be nervous around him during the class trials though

kiibo: his mannerisms seem not so much like a robot as they seem like a kid pretending to be a robot?? essentially seems like this game’s version of gundham except robot rather than cursed lord of darkness. I like him though and I hope the game doesn’t take that highly predictable route and instead does something more clever with him

[after this point I have no more english translations to go on, only the raw japanese version, so these following opinions are formed solely based on the characters’ voicework, sprites, and what little I can glean of what they’re saying]

hoshi ryouma: HIS VOICE?? IS SO DEEP?? GOOD GOD WHY IS HIS VOICE SO DEEP?? he seems chill and kind of like the brooding buff guy type... excepT?? he’s a tiny hamster man?? I don’t understand but I like it. he’s a cool cat. please don’t fucking kill him off early like all the other non-standard-designed characters spike I beg you

harukawa maki: she seems kinda shy and a bit standoffish? but not in the rude way, more like the “I’m just not good with people” way. I totally get that. we’re in this together maki. judging from promo art her role is gonna be pretty important so... I wish her good luck in this surreal killing adventure

shinguuji korekiyo: I wish I could understand him right now cause he seems downright intriguing. I can’t really get a good read on what kind of character he is from his voice and mannerisms alone. however the fact that his va voiced iyami makes his “utsukushii yo” significantly more unsettling to listen to

momota kaito: seems like a cool but also kind of dudebro-ey older type? I’m really curious as to how his talent plays into his personality and character quirks. he gives me vibes that are this weird mix between leon and hagakure. so far he seems cool, but I won’t be surprised if he does something dangerous and assholey out of either fear or selfishness later

toujou kirumi: gentle yet confident voice + polite speech pattern = instant like. her design is cool as heck too. she is a character who makes me feel safe and I feel she would have my back if I put my trust in her. her actual dialogue could possibly contradict that but for now, she puts me at ease. if she ends up being a culprit I will be sad, but that would also be quite an interesting twist

gokuhara gonta: hoooooly crap he takes gentle giant to a whole new level. and his passion for insects gives me even more reasons to compare him to sig? ohmygosh. I can tell a lot of people are gonna get attached to this character, myself included. which means I’m prepared to have my heart shattered into pieces later by these sadistic writers ;v;

yonaga angie: I had a feeling I was going to like her a lot and I was right!! her design is Adorable. her expressions are Adorable. and her voice is Adorable!! she seems a fair bit quirky (and semi-religious I guess?) but even without completely understanding her now I can tell she’s gonna be a really fun character. if she lasts long enough. *whispers while clasping hands together* please spike

monokuma: ah sweet monokuma, how I love to hate thee. your voice is somewhat jarring now that ooyama-san has stepped down, but in every other regard thou art the same old shitty monokuma

monokumas: some more eccentric shitty monokumas engaging in some more eccentric unsettling banter. so far monodam is my favorite because he is pretty much me throughout most of these games. monofunny is a close second. I’m neutral on the rest except for monokid who I kind of wish would just shut up sometimes

#text poast #dangan ronpa the third one #ndrv3 spoilers //#can't wait to look back at this after I've seen the whole game #and laugh at how wrong I probably am about half of these characters

what happened to S2?

okay, I’m going to do it. I’m going to write (rant) about Voltron Legendary Defender Season 2. I won’t look onto the content, those who have watched it already know what happened. I want to know why the fandom reacted as it did and I’ll write my VERY PERSONAL opinion on the subject, because I think we may be forgetting something essencial here...

I’ll continue under the cut in case you want to avoid spoilers tho! ALSO IT’S LONG. THIS’S BEEN A PSA

Alright. Before it aired, everyone was already going nuts about S2. The staff’s comments and other theories were driving the almost six months content deprived fandom crazy. And I include myself in this category. I mean, I binge watched it in ONE sitting, at midnight when I had to go to class the very next day.

When I first finished, I had a bitter taste in my mouth. Where’s my klance? Where’s my 5 people team?? What’s going on??? WHAT’S GOING ON¡¿¿’? I read a few tweets of those who also stood up watching the episodes and they were also complaining a bit about the season. I went to bed angry, confused, upset.

Heck, when I woke up I was still bitter over the thing! I even complained about it with people who I had tried to convince about watching it in the past. I just said stuff llike “they’ve ruined it, it’s over, blablabla”. But I’ve cooled down. A day’s good enough to cool down.

Okay, Dreamworks, I’m dissapointed, We’re dissapointed. They did not manage their cards the way they should. However, I think we have to understand something.

Yes, we can complain about some things. (I’ll say facts and then I’ll check those facts, don’t kill me yet pls)

We can complain about the character development on this season. I mean for... sake, what the quiznak did they do to HUNK? The ONLY thing he did this season was 1) used for food jokes and 2) be rude to Keith? ??? I mean he kinda stood on his side later but I’m PRETTY dang sure the way he behaved the 1st season can’t be compared to what happened on this one. I’m still shook about him, Hunk does NOT deserve this.

Other thing that can be adressed is Pidge’s "glorification” (to put it in some words). I myself LOVE Pidge, WILL ALWAYS WANT to protect my child, she’s my fave and I’ll keep her safe. However, the focus on her intelligence (which NONE of us deny nor turn a blind eye to) overshadowed the other charcters (Hunk, he’s a freaking ENGENIEER, Lance, WHO JUST STOOD THERE LOOKING LIKE AN IDIOT) in more than one occasion. I know it’s important because she’s a girl, a KID, and a power character, but guys, please, everyone needs representation.

And then, Allura. My queen, my beautiful woman, a figure of pure power and respect to me, who was turned in a hateful being from 0 to 100 real quick. I’m not saying her hate is NOT vaild, I mean, the galra ARE the race who, I don’t know, killed her father, her people and destroyed her planet? I know she must feel some resent towards them. But where’s my forgiving Allura? Where’s my heart-caring Allura? Or where’s my emotive Allura, who speaks her mind? She instantly shuts down whatever’s related to galra without giving them the chance to explain themselves, Keith included? even tho she’s known him for long enough now?? She gives him the cold shoulder and doesn’t even talks to him directly. Even for Allura, that’s low. I repeat, even though this IS valid, could’ve been written 10 times more better and not just “I don’t trust the galra, I won’t ever allow myself to talk to a galra ever again” gibberish (or toomfolery, as Keith would say lol) and then WOOPS this is KEITH I forgot and I’m sorry. That could’ve been better.

Then there’s my sweet angel, my prince charming, my son, my sun, Lance. This boy had been boosted up SO MUCH in the panels, in the interviews, EVERYWHERE, to the point we were all expecting a Lance-centred season, and were rewarded with like, 4 minutes of screening (of course I’m exaggerating here, but you get the point).

Of course we can also talk about the Keith-Shiro focus that went on the WHOLE time. We started with Keith and Shiro on the planet, we ended on Keith going to Shiro who had just gone -poof-. I’m pretty sure I can say 80% of the content was Keith and/or Shiro centered. I Love (Capital L) them both, I’d die for either of them. but the lack of balance between them and the rest of the crew is alarming.

Heck, even ZARKON. He went to “chill, I’m powerful enough to live happy and reign everything that the light touches” to “ VOLTRON! VOLTRON! VOLTRON! VOLTRON! VOLTRON! VOLTRON!”. Like yo man, take it easy, you’re old, you’ll die from a heart attack at this point.

Some of us can also say where’s klance??? where¿¿¿ whERE?! YOU ALL PROMISED TO EXPLORE SEXUALITY WHERE !! I DO NOT SEE? Other than that pool scene which was gold and the occasional and very scarce Keith/Lance interaction.

I won’t complain about Coran because he was literally perfect and I’d give my life for him. I love him.

So? What was good about this season? Let me tell you something. We’re forgetting a very essencial part of this series.

This is a kids show.

This is a show whose target market are KIDS and younger audience. Also some of the older people who watched the original perhaps? We’re secondary audience. The show’s not construced for OUR liking, or to our vision. I am an Animation student, 6th semester, and I know this. You have to make CHOICES to what’s better for your wider audience. That’s how the story goes.

I won’t say that some of the things they did are jusified. I won’t forgive them about Hunk, or Allura. Pidge can pass because she’s my fave women need representation. But hear me out. We weren’t left on the side of the road just like that.

I mean, there WILL be a 3rd season.

Shiro and Keith’s screen time is reasonable. Last season there were waaaay too many things left unsaid about these two that led to futher explanation on this one. Keith’s purple burns and his knife, Shiro’s EVERYTHING¿ like what. And I know, “it’s the same for everyone!! we don’t know anything about the paladins (except Pidge!!)!!” well, yeah? What’s the problem if this season’s focused on two of them? Everyone needs their space, their time. This was theirs. Soon the others’ will come.

Lance, my boy. Even if this season did NOT do him justice, there’s a huge promise of a wider exploration of his feelios and emotions later. His true perception of things and himself has only seen the surface a handful of times and it’s only been piling up. This, just like Keiths and Shiro’s case in this season, can’t be left unsaid just like that.

Zarkon. The guy didn’t know an Altean was alive, let alone Voltron had been formed again. Weeps, I wouldv’e reacted the same yo. My life, my reign, the empire I’ve been building for the last 10000 years is being threatened for the first time. I’d take desperate measures too.

And about the shipping... again.. this is a kids show guys. The TV media IS a bit too careful on these waters. I myself didn’t see TLOK but I think that, the thing that made korrasami canon only happened until the last episode? The very last? And we’re only in the 2nd season?? Don’t forget we’re only fans.. don’t take it on the creators. This is no our show. We can be upset, we have a right. We might have been queerbaited (won’t be the first time, won’t be the last) But please, do not exaggerate on this. We’re adults, we’re fans, and we have to be those this show deserve. And for those who still want to believe, I’ll repeat: we’re only in the second season.

So yeah, this are my thought. Anyone who wants to discuss further whatever can always message me or whatever. I love Voltron. I’ll stand with Voltron. I got onto this heck of a ride and will till the end.
