Welcome back. Was wondering why it said follow next to your name. Also @cuter-girls-from-vns-anime-manga is still around
thanks Roar, glad to be back!
pope is doing well on bluesky at the moment:
Head of the cult of the Ponytail Love ponytails so so much! I mostly post Manga Caps and anime gifs! I go by Qwar or Pope, He/Him, 28 y/o
not sure when he is coming back here and i'm not surprised either. this website is out for blood and hates us all.
You say it's a dead blog but I occasionally see posts, so I don't believe you. Why would I unfollow if there might occasionally be content on here reblogged again? Seems counter productive
shit you right not a dead blog.

Okay but what struggles or conflict has she even had?
@roar104
-She gave herself some kind of functional amnesia about her parental abuse and abandonment. That is not the behavior of someone who’s not struggling. That’s the behavior of someone who is absolutely on the edge and barely holding it together through a complex system of self-delusion.
-Discovering her force powers isn’t a “pure uwu” magical girl full of love and softness experience for her. She’s someone who’s known helplessness and has a deep fear and equally deep rage and nearly murderates Kylo after he’s on the ground. She nearly fell to the Dark Side in that moment, if we take Daisy’s performance + the novelization together.
-Luke saying she went straight to The Dark because it had something she needed/wanted
-Her trying desperately to be the Good Child for Luke as part of her complex system of delusion re: authority figures and wanting desperately to please them - and then, in a very rapid and terrifying switch, unleashing her suppressed rage at authority figures at him. Lashing out at him, brutally, attacking him when his back is turned and then, in the middle of a nonlethal fight, pulling her saber to her and igniting it and pulling back her arm as if to strike.
Another moment of nearly falling to the Dark.
-The throne room offer isn’t a hero moment if we’re not supposed to understand it to be a real offer and Rey as genuinely tempted - it’s not heroic in SW to be a trembling freaking Lifetime movie heroine turning down an Abuse offer from An Abuser (tm). It is heroic to, in a lifetime of powerlessness and being Nobody but wanting desperately to be Somebody, turn down being co-tyrant of the galaxy (the offer is to “rule together” not be his subject!) with a hot guy you’re kinda into enough to want to reach out and feel up his big warm hand and share lightsabers and fight together, back to back all sexy with.
There was a filmed line where Luke accused her of, re: Kylo, “open[ing] yourself to the dark side for a pair of pretty eyes.”
It was meant to be a goddamned real temptation ffs.
For power, for sex. To make the galaxy that had made her feel so helpless and unsafe and and small and worthless/like nobody bend to her will. To have the dark “prince” she wants to bang.
If she were a male lead nobody would have a problem with temptation for power coming along with temptation for sex.
But because she’s a heroine people have to mentally rewrite her to strip that from her or hate her; I’ve seen antis post TLJ admit that they hate her for being attracted to him. And a lot of fanboys believe the sexist idea that horniness in women diminishes them rather than being part of just being a full human person.
If Rey were Ray and Kylo were Kyla everyone would be able to look his heroism in the throne room and his genuine temptation in the eye. But Rey is female, so people have created their own complex system of delusions about her character.
Which is fine, but the vicious way they’ve treated female fans who actually get what the story is doing really has made me run out of patience with them.
Especially the fact that they think it’s more “feminist” for Rey to functionally be an eternal child, Luke’s obedient baby girl who’s never had a dark thought or sexual feeling in her entire life. That is so fucking absurd to me. To come after a story for letting a heroine not have to be “pure” - like, since when is a Victorian view of female sexuality more Woke than what we got in TLJ?
People are so sexist female characters don’t even get to have any complicated sexual feelings at all or else somehow they’re dirty and inferior - so people engage in this collective denial bc they cannot stand her as she is. But without temptation there’s no actual heroism???
The fact that anti types and some male fans cannot stand a heroine having fear, rage, desire for power and horny, dark, complex feelings (which she handles ultimately bc she’s a big damn hero... but you have to have those feelings to be heroic in handling them!) is their own damn problem at this point.
They’ve spent three years “shooting the messenger.”
What would your ideal burger be?
I have no idea tbh i wouldn’t want anything super over the top but i cant think of anything i would want that i havent had already
Do you understand why people hate the prequels so much? Do they just not understand the story? I get that having full CGI characters might not have been a good idea, or 99% of all clones in ep2, but otherwise they were pretty decent.
People hate the prequels for a variety of different reasons!
It wasn’t exactly what they expected when they spent all those years dreaming about more Star Wars after the OT
Anakin wasn’t the proto-Vader they wanted, was instead someone with actual emotional issues and more power than he knew what to do with
They don’t like George’s style choices (the ‘40s inspired dialogue, for example) and say it’s bad because of that.
Ditto Hayden’s acting choices, because they wanted a badass super awesome pre-Vader, not an actual Anakin Skywalker who was haunted by his anxieties and fears.
They think it was all CGI instead of the actual thousands of practical models they used. And they want to hold ~20 year old movies to standards that aren’t always fair.
It’s often “cool” to hate them, because so many other people will harass you if you like them.
Oh noooooo you have to pay attention to the actual plot to follow the politics because politics actually are sometimes convoluted!
They’re kids’ movies and that’s only okay when they’re a kid.
The internet hype machine often says you’re only cool if you hate the prequels.
OTHER ENTIRELY DIFFERENT REASONS, some which are valid and some which aren’t.
I don’t and never have had a problem with people who just simply dislike the prequels, because I generally get along pretty well with those who are just here to have a good time and like what they like. Those people are fantastic, regardless of whether they do or don’t like the prequels!There are people with reasons that I’ve never even thought of, there are people who fall into the exact categories above (either just some of them or all of them), there are people who only sort of fit the above, there are people who don’t fit this at all. There’s no one reason to paint every prequel disliker with, as convenient as that would be! XDMy frustration comes in when they try to say they’re objectively right and I’m objectively wrong. When, no thanks, we’re both subjectively right for ourselves and only ourselves. The only universal truth is that there is no universal truth on who’s right about whether the prequels are good or not.Do I think a lot of people hate the prequels because it wasn’t what they wanted it to be? Yeah, sure, and they probably are some of the loudest voices you’ll hear, because they’re the ones who go around and get in other people’s faces about how terrible the prequels are and how you’re wrong wrong wrong for liking them. But a lot of people just simply don’t care for them, they weren’t to their tastes or they didn’t find them compelling, maybe they didn’t come at them from the right frame of mind or maybe they did and it still didn’t work for them.But, eh, there are plenty of us who do love the prequels and it’s not exactly hard to find content for them on tumblr and, sure, it gets harder when you head over to Reddit or whatever but it’s not like any of us are entirely alone. It can get annoying when you see it so casually thrown out, but, eh, I’m just going to be over here loving what I love and having fun and hoping that making a fun place to be, one that’s full of enthusiasm and joy and happiness, will get others to see, oh, hey, that actually does seem pretty fun! ♥

Don't you just hate it when you're looking at the adorable megumin & all of a sudden you find lewd stuff? :/
yeah, its awful, do not lewd

What's your opinion about the doom movie?
It definitely should have been made with demons and Hell in mind instead of “ancient DNA from aliens”.
I don’t recall if people have ever talked about whether or not demons were meant to be in the movie in the first place. Anyway, that was a stupid move and the DOOM movie is one of the few movies that legitimately deserve to be remade in this day and age. Is Hollywood willing to accept references to demons and Hell, though? That remains to be seen.
The FPS sequence? Yeah it was cool but it happens way too late to salvage the movie.
