Day 1: Soulmates
@dukeoftheblackstar
Exactly, Stella is a good villain, dumbing down women in order to highlight the villainous acts of their male counterparts is quite annoying but unfortunately very common in media.
Me personally? I think someone ( cough Brandon ) saw the outrageous reaction to the corny dildo thing in the last episode, so he decided to Chaz-ify Striker, which is annoying because if they wanted to keep Chaz around they should've just let him live. They also made his personality kinda contradictory imo. Is he the angry wrathful cocky asshole from Episode 5 or is he a joke?
Viv is a very fandom-oriented person, so I'm not surprised that she's struggling so much with structure and tone, but she needs some real writers on her side.
Okay Vivzie, I'll give you some props... This recent ep was miles better than episodes 2 and 3. Not too good, but it was okay. I appreciated the ending, gave me the vibe that Stolas really will move on this season (thank god for that)
However, they almost lost Strikers personality completely, the dick statue was once again, corny and unnecessary.
Also, they lost me by trying to make Stella dumb. She's meant to be an asshole/ a scorned woman, not a bimbo.
Ill make my critique on the Stolitz texts in another post though.
Adult, post-war Snape meets adult Lily. He cannot recognize her anymore. The Lily in his head and the Lily in front of him are too different to be even related. The more he spends time with the adult Lily around, the more the ancient Lily fades away from his memories. Suddenly, she doesn't appear so holy. Suddenly, he realizes that he is his own. That all he's done, he owes it to himself.
Suddenly, he understands how easy it was for Lily to cut him out of her life.
He has enough of this charade. Let him walk free.
He too is not the same anymore.

So, I wanted to create an appreciation post for the ships that are scorned and receive hate.
For the ships that are treated with homophobia, and are belittled for no other reason than for being between two people of the same gender. The ships whose beautiful emotional developments are ignored, and instead stereotyped into false pictures of “lustful yaoi pairings,” which they are most certainly not.
For the ships that are overshadowed and ignored due to their more popular competition:
For the ships who, conversely, are “too popular,” or have “taken over the whole fandom.”
For the ships who are sent hate for ‘queer-baiting’ in spite of their beautiful, long-developed bond:
For the ships that are considered ‘abusive’ or ‘wrong’ because the characters have problems (and work them out, in DirkJake’s case!):
And the ships between two characters who are “clearly straight,”
(Yes, I have actually seen this argument used against Kagehina XD)
Because every pairing, no matter how minute, mainstream, or controversial, deserves respect. It’s okay if you don’t ship it. Hell, I don’t ship all of the pairings in this post. However, that gives you no excuse to behave with hostility towards the people who do.
(I will likely continue making edits to this post. I didn’t include every ship that has ever received hate, of course, and I may have mis-categorized a few of them. I understand that not everyone will like these ships for a variety of reasons, but I would appreciate it if everyone avoided any shiphate :)
I swear I would kick some sense into Yoonbum out of love tho.
Only person I’m rooting for in Killing Stalking is Officer Seungbae. Like, really.
Me: *develops celebrity crush*
Me: *naturally involves that celebrity in my daydreams*
The celebrity:
I'm actually so fed up with the writing decisions taken this season. I recant my previous defense of Season 2 ep 2. As a fan of Stolas, the writing choices taken were awful.
The complete disregard of the development in episode 7 ( the best Helluva episode btw ) is not just annoying, but unsatisfactory. We are given the impression that Stolas might man up and stop chasing a prick who seemingly doesnt give a shit about him ( we know that Blitz obviously does, but Stolas does not ) but instead of keeping their interactions cordial and awkward/strained, they throw them right back into the horny bullshit they had before. I'm mad that the series wants us to root for stolitz ( which I DO ) without actually putting in the effort to show them repaire their "situationship".
What's the point in continuity? if I watched episode 5 and then watched season 2 episode 2, I would have ZERO clue that anything even happened between them. Vivzie is losing the plot (literally)
Vivzie is ruining Stolitz ( a ship that has insane potential to flip the switch and show two broken and hurt people grow TOGETHER. )
When we have to see them acting like absolutely nothing is wrong in ep 4 I'm going to pass out. Ridiculous.
( also random note, episode 3 was not funny. fucking at all. Brandon's 2017 humor really jumped out. Chaz's song got a chuckle out of me but that was it. it was tacky imo and Crimson is not only a fucking idiot but a terrible villain as well. )

Anime L deserves better wtf
1. Manga L
Origami Frog. He is the detective cryptid Mothman told you to stay away from, but you didn’t listen, and that’s how you ended up talking to him in the back alley of your local ice cream shop, trading information about your long-lost hopes for three pieces of exclusive Scandinavian candy, only found in a small shop in Syrjäntaka, Finland. General Score: 6/10, he cleans his ugly, dirty feet on The International Bill of Human Rights, but hey, at least his smile is cute.
2. Anime L
The Gremlin-Ghoul Chimera. His true self is black coffee mixed with poor life decisions, chronic depression, and half your weight in sugar, topped with strawberry frosting that’s actually three months expired, but you don’t have the heart to throw out because it was a present from the noisy neighbour who you know looks into your trash. General score: 5/10, his cursed moments only seemed to be enhanced by the animation.
3. Japanese Live Action L
Who Needs Eyebrows With Deductions Like These. A human glow-stick made out of untamed big brother potential, nostalgic contemplation, and cream puffs; he tried his best, and succeeded, but the waves of regret over the results are just as big as his desire to solve cases fast and furious. General score: 8/10, he’s a sweet, brave, adorable asshole who just wanted to eat cake and serve justice.
4. Drama L
Now That’s An L That I Could Get Into. He’s the fashion blogger gay friend that you’ve never actually seen eat a vegetable in the twelve years you’ve known each other, the one you’re too afraid to ask for advice, because you know he will stream all your secrets to his 6.9 million subscribers, and then he’ll smile at you and you’ll forget he ever did such a thing. General score: 10/10, this boy knows his angles and his cases, he’s my perfect, imperfect boy.
5. Musical L
Kermit The Singing Frog. He’s the witch friend who has a hundred bottles with spells and a black cat named Sushka that he swears it’s his familiar; he is always awake no matter the time or day you call him, and whenever he enters a house he also says hello to the spirits nearby, because, c’mon, he’s a bit of a meddler sometimes, but he’s not that rude. General score: 8.5/10, his songs grabbed my heart, just to smash it into tiny pieces in the finale.
6. NoteFlix L
See If I Give A Shit, Light. Art student whose blood is 45% Starbucks latte at this point; if you try to tell him that art isn’t important, he’ll take a picture of your face, photoshop it into a fursuit, put it on a billboard in the interstate, and call it “Fury in Furry: a commentary on the consequences of pissing me the fuck off, mixed media”. General score: 4/10, he did an amazing job, but not even him could save such an awful script.
7. Bonus round: SilentReaper L
Classic DeviantArt, Babey. If you had your first Death Note phase in the late 2000s, it is virtually impossible you haven’t seen this bad boy; if you look directly at him for twenty seconds and then close your eyes, I can guarantee you can smell the hairspray you used throughout middle school. General score: 5/10, the perfect mix of canon L and fanon L.
More passionate than hope, far deeper than despair.Caribbean, 21.
