kergiby replied to your post “the problem I still have with female!Thor months later is that it’s...”

I agree with this. It was always my biggest complaint and of course, my friends said I was just being sexist for not liking FemThor

*shakes head sadly* I think it's a great idea and might even have great writing, but isn't being very well executed. Pretty much all they have to do is give her a different superhero name and I'd probably be satisfied (depends on how they go about it). I mean, if it was Thor spelled to be a girl, it would be one thing (it's Norse mythology; it could happen). However, it's not, and so I'm uncomfortable and upset about the situation.

If you have to close down your ask or anon asks for a while, we’d all understand.

Yeah, honestly I probaby will. I would have done it way earlier except for I've gotten a lot of positive anons and I know that a lot of people are scared of coming out into the open and sticking their name attached to this stuff right now. Not everyone's willing to fight like I am, and some are scared. I've been keeping it open mainly for them, as a space for them to come rant and then fight for them (like the anon I just put up). 

I won't do it tonight, because I just finished that massive comparisons post. I probably will end up shutting down anon for awhile though

kergiby answered your question “Um, are you watching the same show? Makorra literally had only two...”

So much love for you right now.

Thank you. *big sigh* Honestly, that's what I've been wanting to do since this whole debacle went down anyway. I feel so much better now.

kergiby replied to your post “So like…what was the reasoning behind having the lightning-bending...”

I'm pretty upset they just shoved an ill-developed ship in at the very end. Like, woo representation and all that (Bi here) but like, the fuck? It was a shit ending and it has me... disappointed in the finale as a whole now.

This. The thing was, Korrasami could have actually been a great ending...if they had built it up more and actually properly wrapped up the Makorra relationship. But out of all the seasons, really the only things that can truly be interpreted as romantic in nature in the Korrasami relationship are the following: the "I'm here for you" and the hand holding at the end of Book 3, Asami being the only one Korra wrote back to in "Korra Alone," the blush in "Reunions," and the last five minutes of the finale. They just had very little interaction in general, and even less that can be considered romantic. Like...I'm just so disappointed at the ridiculous lack of build up. The relationship felt forced and shoehorned into the last minutes of the finale.

And then they just left the Makorra relationship hanging...like the way they broke up (with a kiss, clinging to the other's hand, and an "I'll always love you"), their clearly unresolved feelings during the entirety of Book 3, and then Mako acting like Korra hung the moon throughout Book 4. Like what was the point of the Mako/Korra field trip to see Zaheer? If that had been a Korra/Asami field trip, the finale would have made INFINITELY more sense. They could have had Asami comfort Korra on facing Zaheer and whatnot (I mean, she was there and perfectly able to go), but no. They had her make that trip with Mako. Why? It makes no sense. Not to mention the fact they spent literally half of Remembrances on the Makorra relationship, ending with "She continues to inspire me." Plus that last interaction they had in the finale, which was essentially an unstated "I love you" scene. It's just...immmensely frustrating. It was bad writing, pure and simple.

I loved the finale as a whole, and thought it was fantastic (especially in terms of Korra's character development and the wrap-up of the Kuvira arc), but those last five minutes are so frustrating for me (especially as a writer) because Bryke basically said "fuck it," threw the whole narrative away, and ended with so many unresolved things, specifically in regards to the Krew relationship, the Makorra relationship, the Korrasami relationship, and Mako and Bolin as characters. I wish they had either had Korra end up single or had wrapped up the Makorra relationship properly and laid the foundations for Korrasami better. Like, I'm happy for the Korrasami shippers and I'm glad that there's represntation, but it was very poorly done representation and threw away the entire existing narrative. As it stands, I came out of that finale with the sense that it was a Makorrasami ending, which is confusing as hell, and that Bryke were just trying to avoid fan backlash and shipping wars by making the ending ambiguous but not ambiguous. Spoiler alert: it didn't work.

kergiby replied to your post “I’m about to get into it over false/manipulated rape statistics and...”

I almost want to see this now.

No you don't. I basically gave her all these ways the statistics she posted were manipulated, misinformed, or flat out wrong and that I didn't think we had a rape culture but rather a sports culture and she turned around and said "I haven't done any research on the statistics themselves but we live in a rape culture because people don't come forth due to the fear of embarrassment and fear they won't be supported if they do come forth."

Like I don't even quite know how to respond to that because THAT'S NOT WHAT A RAPE CULTURE IS and I currently can't articulate that in a way that sounds non-assholeish.

kergiby replied to your post:Just a reminder that I am a huge fairy...

Just curious, do you know the Fairy Tale The Riddle by the Brother’s Grimm? Cause no one seems to know it and my brother and I did an operetta based on it.

Yes, I do know it! Yeah, it's not one of the more remembered fairy tales, is it? I actually read that for the first time a couple of months ago, I think. It's not one of my favorites but I do like it quite a bit. I always thought that the Princess was actually clever in thinking he might talk in his sleep about the answer, even if she was a bit ruthless about her treatment of her suitors. I never understood the reasoning behind why the guy married her though. He could have just accepted the money from the girl at the inn if it was money he was after, and I couldn't think of a reason less shallow than 'she was beautiful'. 

That's cool though, that you made an operetta based on it. How well did it translate into stage form?
