thank you @jonghyuns-skeletonflowers you’re always trying to make me play with the cool kids. i haven’t done one of these tag games since my old blog in like, 2014.
rules:
say hello
write 1-9
write the latin alphabet
write the quote “the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.”
write whatever you want (i.e. quote/lyrics)
write the urls of everyone you tag
and I tag: @sacrinecro (you can totally ignore this but i think you’re cool and i wanna see more of your handwriting) and @plutospheres-blog (so you can have something on your blog besides free iwatobi sdfd) ✨❤
you know, i actually like my degree, and i’m totally happy about being so close to the finish line but something i despise is how my university handles things, i can’t even joke about “why did i think taking this class was good idea” because we don’t actually pick classes, you get accepted into your degree after the entrance exams and then you have to push through for however long it takes you to graduate.
that’s a long winded way of saying i am tired of my social psychology class, and i can’t even joke like “haha i regret picking this class” because i did not, i didn’t ask for any of this 😭
i love coming into dead fandoms no matter how much drama there is inside, unironically enjoying VLD knowing full well how the fandom was and how the show ends is the closest i will get to starting shit on purpose, i'm too nonconfrontational for real fights but this is fun.
thoughts on voltron: legendary defender, season one, first five episodes. this will be like witnessing your mom watch a show for the youngins and being confused the entire time.
warning for spoilers, obviously, but idk what for because i’m later to this show than the alteans were to the war.
i almost closed netflix bc i saw that the first episode is one hour long wh-
this is how shiro is introduced? harsh. but i like that in the first few minutes, the galra are already established as a force to be reckoned with.
first scene with lance, hunk and pidge, already showing their dynamic and their current situation! also, lol, lance getting told "you're only here because the best pilot in your class had a discipline issue" way to create tension between characters, keith isn't even there and we already know lance kind of hates him.
i like hunk he reminds me of po from kung fu panda hehe
what's pidge's thing with the kerberos mission? he seems very very invested in it, even for a character that science oriented.
OH IT'S KEITH. man i'm actually really impressed with the character introductions in this first episode, they're so clever and very effective, they show the most important facts about the person without slowing down.
keith really lived alone in that desert cabin for however long huh
where's the cat going
oh the cat went home, neat.
i love how at this point it seems that only blue chose its paladin, for the rest of them allura did a personality assessment off first impressions and assigned the rest of the lions, she really said "the bond cannont be forced... by anyone except for me" ma'am these are 5 random people from earth.
apart from that, i'm loving how intuitive piloting is with the lions!
lol lance fully killed some people there
listen if pidge doesn't turn out to be related to the people in the kerberos mission... just :( the way he reacted to shiro quoting the commander? there's no way he doesn't know them.
"go. be great." SHUT UP 😭
blue woke up yesterday and she's already getting beat up give it a rest it's been 10.000 years.
FUCK OFF SENDAK. I know of you, you lame ass excuse for an antagonist.
shiro i love you that's all i have to say.
THE COMMANDER IS PIDGE'S FATHER I KNEW IT HHHHH
the mice are so cute i can't believe allura is a fairytale princess with animal sidekicks.
YEAH GIANT HERO ROBOT!
ok second episode let's go:
this druid lady has a very cool character design, not sure what's her point in the story tho
pidge when are you gonna tell us your secret?
third episode!
it's really not fair how cool shiro is, paladin of the black lion, and "the champion"
oh no, shiro was forced to fight for galra entertainment? mmmmm yeah why not i love pain and suffering.
the little people who live on arus are very cute.
i'm sure shiro only attacked pidge's brother to keep him from fighting the gladiator don't be mad pidge :(
oh so the thing was the same gladiator, makes sense.
OH PIDGE'S NAME IS KATIE she's matt's sister this makes so much sense, i'm very sad, i can't wait to know her story.
ok episode four, the iconic failed team cheer i used to see on twitter.
the way lance pronounced varadero beach made me want to cry but at least it's the first mention of anything related to cuba, so i'll take it.
why'd they already beat up lance gdi give the boy a break.
episode five, i'm stressed.
NOT THE FLASHBACKS I CAN'T KEEP IT TOGETHER :(
kerberos mission: takashi shirogane, and samuel and matthew holt :(
pidge you are such a badass you have my heart too, also it's so sweet how rover has like a little personality.
"hasta la later, keith" MAKE IT STOP
(but ok that does sound like something i would say to be annoying)
hunk and bolin from legend of korra would be such good bros you can't change my mind.
ok the galra are the bad guys but they have style, "nothing stops me but triumph, and death" that's cool.
THAT FLYING ROBOT BETTER COME BACK OR ELSE.
damn even the mice have a kill count everyone has a kill count.
love lance waking up only to shoot a bad guy and then dramatically faint again, maybe he has hispanic heritage after all, he has the flare.
"we are a good team" hell yeah you are buddy.
final thought on the first five episodes: honestly? i’m impressed, the pacing is great, the characters are well defined and they all get their little moments to shine. loved the pidge focus on episode five, and i’m very excited too see what happens next. that’ll have to wait because i haven’t slept and now my brain is repeating that voltron forming sequence they play EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
i made this handy graph to explain to my friends why i like red/blue dynamics so much and why i'm willing to suffer through voltron (derogatory) and free/the untamed (lovingly), and i decided i can shit post on here too, enjoy
info about my blog under the cut, if you’re the kind of person that needs to know. have a nice day 💜
non-exhaustive list of obsessions: avatar the last airbender, legend of korra, the kyoshi novels, voltron: legendary defender, the camp half-blood chronicles, the all for the game series (and anything that is to my fancy at any moment.)
about me and my blog.
you can call me kay ✨
i am on ao3 as kuarahy.
english and spanish, mostly english unless necessary.
i studied literature for a bit and never got over it, you can expect a lot of overly enthusiastic rambling from me because of this. i have a passion for storytelling and literary theory, but i am not an expert on anything i talk about.
i’m here to talk about things that make me happy, and i value respectful discussions about the less-than-perfect aspects of the content i consume, so if you’re of the Everything Wrong With school of media criticism, then this is not the place for you.
fandom stuff.
i love ATLA and TLOK equally and i’ve read a fair share atla/tlok comics and consider them all canon, if you like to pretend they don’t exist, this isn’t the blog of you, friend!
i unironically like all 8 seasons of VLD and i still find many positive aspects even with the mess they made. yes i will still praise these positive aspects. no i don’t care about the ship wars.
i have most harry potter/marauders and related content tags blocked. HOWEVER if you go to my ao3 you'll see i've posted one fic within this fandom. this was done as part of a fan event i joined with a friend. i don't think i'm ever going to publicly write anything for HP again. i do not to support the author or what she stands for. fuck JKR.
a very recent obsession of mine is the all for the game series, i try to be good at tagging but i'm not always successful, and this series has a lot of triggering content embedded into it. please be careful when navigating my ramblings about it.
on shipping.
you might notice that i post about various ships in my blog. this might seem strange if you’re used to people only blogging about their otp to the point of making their “rival ship/notp” a dni criteria. this does not happen here. i don’t mind shipping, i think it's fun, and i reblog shippy fanart, mostly because i’m a sucker for romance and pretty art. that is the extent of my enjoyment of most ships, both canon and noncanon. i like romance, and it’s fun to read and write idiots falling in love in different ways and worlds, but it's never too serious for me.
my love: [ insert phrase ] tags are for all kinds of relationships, not just romantic ones.
i don’t take shipping seriously enough to entertain discourse about it. these characters are paper dolls to me. do not come here to argue about ships or how or why some might be the worst thing to exist on this planet since global warming. i am a grown adult who knows how to discern reality from fiction. i've got a job and other stuff to worry about, DO NOT even try.
anti behavior of any kind is a bad investment of your time, pal.
my url is a play on szeto and secretary, because when i made this blog i was a tired college student and he’s the closest thing to that, as the only nerd avatar we know of.
that’s all~ if you want to be mutuals and even friends, my inbox is always there.
by bad decisions i actually mean going on dates and sleeping a lot, and resting from the absolutely shit show that was my december.
i like saying it like that because i used to not let myself have fun in this way out of self consciousness, as if i had to earn times of rest by working myself to the bone. i don't actually think anything i did was a bad decision, just that nothing i did was "productive", which was the goal.
even in my early twenties i didn't let myself have fun like this. it's good, even i have to be very careful because of the pandemic. alas 😞 i'll get back to work after this weekend. not that anyone is anxiously waiting for updates on my two wips, but i wrote a lot before i decided to take my rest, and some friends beta-read for me, so i have a lot to work with.
lot's of fun things for the rest of the month. take care, please.
stopped writing my voltron fic to make time for my avatar fic but now i can't go back to my voltron fic because i'm trying to get hired at this company while barely making time to study for my college midterms which is harder because the training period at this company ALSO requires written exams, in conclusion, i am a bit tired and i miss writing with no pressure involved.
