All things considered, Snirius seems less problematic to me than it looks, because basically both Severus and Sirius are two single guys who are not canonically married to women and don’t canonically have children with those women either. So shipping them doesn’t mean shitting on their canonical partners —who happen to be women— because they don’t have any but you're not ready for this conversation yet.

What are your thoughts and opinions on the new How To Train Your Dragon Live Action?

Eh, kinda a mixed bag.

[🚨NEGATIVITY INCOMING🚨]

On one hand, I don't really care. It looks very uninspired, too 1:1 to the original movie, which then begs the question why it was made in the first place. They're playing it too safe, Toothless looking basically the same as his original counterpart underlines that. If you're not going to even try to do the story (or major visuals) in a different way, what's the point? So it kinda looks boring to me, and thus I'm indifferent to it. Especially with lacking the expressiveness that animation has, and the overall visuals reminding me more of cosplay than believable re-imagining. (It actually looks surprisingly low budget, the lighting in the hand touch clip seemed so fake.) But, if it introduces new audience to the franchise and to watch the original movie, then that's good at least!

On the other hand, I'm really annoyed at this "let's remake animations with live action, the BETTER format!" as if the original movie wasn't the one to win the awards. It just also feels like an attempt to milk the franchise and DW wanting a piece from Disney's live action cake. Are they attempting to "improve" the original movie with this? That kind of audacity is irritating to me, even if it's the original director at the helm again. Animated movies are still held on lower standard in Hollywood despite all the work the industry has done to change that.

So I'm both indifferent and annoyed by it. I don't personally care about it and just ignore it, but on the other hand it's a big symptom of this remake trend that looks down on the animated movies, and that I hate. I certainly don't mind people being excited for the remake and liking it, I just will ignore it and hope this live action frenzy will die down 🤞

one thing is butchering the book, another one is to write such a bad, parody-like script where none of the characters feel like those of the past seasons. what is this

Really annoying that all my sponsored ads on the app version of this hellsite are for god damn diet shit. Seriously this shit should be illegal, hell all medical related ads should be but of course I live in the United States of Advertising so that isn’t going anywhere. 

Anyway, I do not need to lose weight algorithm. I have extreme vitamin deficiencies from childhood food insecurity and am only now able to afford to eat properly. Fuck off with that shit.

truly amazing that destiel really is the love story that was created from going off-script and saying fuck you to authorities that try to undermine it, both within the show and outside of it

One of the tropey things in movies and shows that I really hate, is when there’s a team of detectives, or a team of monster hunters or a team of what have you, and one of them is really geeky and constantly spouting facts about the world, or talking about their niche hobbies. Birding, trainspotting, metal detectors, physics, anthropology, entomology, horticulture, forensic science or what have you. The other members of the team always roll their eyes at the geeky character, like “oh boy, Frank’s going on about his THING again. How irritating.” 

NO, IT’S NOT IRRITATING. IT’S FASCINATING. Every time one of those characters starts spouting random facts, I am always super interested to learn something new. This goes the same for folks in real life who tell me about their passions. PLEASE PLEASE teach me about literature and biology and chemistry and auto-mechanics. Please. I am begging you. This stuff is ENTHRALLING. Also, stop treating people who love random facts as un-cool and annoying. Yes, those characters can be annoying, but really, why don’t you just make their annoying traits be something that isn’t about their intelligence or level of knowledge. Idk, just stop making fun of people for being interested in stuff.

There’re only like 2 jedi left during Mandalorian-Book of Boba Fett timeline, and the jedi STILL prove to be fucking hypocrites. Like as if you two haven’t broken the freaking HARMFUL attachment rule already and keep putting too much pressure on a FREAKING TODDLER!!!
