I think my favorite youtube videos are the ones with a minuscule number of views and it's some random American with a southern accent showing you some majestic scene of nature during a long hike or something
Ok so confession as a kid I used to try to run like Sara Steele. Like I'd run with my fists waving in front of me like I was holding swords like her.
a lot of artists dont know how to draw bullets and to be real it bothers me a lot. here's my simple guide on bullets
is there a term for "miserable misanthropic loser with a comfortable life that grossly exaggerates society's role in their self-fulfilling prophecy of being a miserable misanthropic loser" because I notice this archetype of person always hijacks labels like "NEET" and "incel" (the latter of which was originally coined by a bisexual woman in good faith)
which of course never accurately describes them or their lifestyle because their problem is just that they're so angry and self absorbed they can't even realize that 90% of it is just them. and then they always try to gatekeep these labels from people who aren't as angry and miserable as them despite having similar (or the exact same, or even worse) problems because then that means it's actually possible for them to realistically improve themselves and it's not all society's fault that they're the way they are
I think it sucks that these people always take over such communities and labels because they can be useful and they could be good communities to encourage people to get better but these fellas always want to turn it into a misery circlejerk where they pretend that willingly not going outside and being unable to relate to healthier people is the worst thing ever, they're such based loners, and no one else knows true suffering
I have sympathy towards people who have been screwed over in life and are struggling mentally but it's really obvious that a lot of these people are actually the architects of their own misery. They're just in denial of it, but instead of trying to work on it, they lash out at everyone else
The series Ahsoka is coming out soon, and in light of the recent comments by Ashley Eckstein...
... I figured I'd also point out that people hated Ahsoka.
Every complaint you've heard about Rey? It had been hurled at Ahsoka about 7 years prior.
“Oh, she’s fighting Grievous and she’s only, like 13?! That’s so OP!”
“She feels like a Mary Sue written for a prequel based fan fiction.”
“Oh, she disobeyed an order from Yularen on Ryloth?! She’s so snippy!”
“Ugh, I hate her and her stupid voice!”
“She’s always pointing out stuff other characters have missed, like she’s so perfect! She's a Mary Sue with an annoying voice and personality.”
And honestly? I remember that period. People despised Ahsoka (and sometimes voiced anger towards Ashley Eckstein too), just like they hated Hayden Christensen, and most Prequel-related content.
But guess what? They weren't the target audience. Said Eckstein in her 2018 book It's Your Universe:
“Ahsoka’s arrival on the scene was met with mixed reactions. She had a big personality and was very snippy. [...] She talked back to Anakin, and some even called her bratty. Critics didn’t quite know what to think, but kids loved her. Finally, girls had another character besides Leia and Padmé to play on the playground — and now there was a lightsaber in their hands.”
They didn't "fix" Ahsoka, as you'll see on some click-baity YouTube thumbnails.
She had a fucking character arc. There was nothing to fix.
The whole point of her character is that she starts out as immature and petulant as Anakin is in Episode II. This forces Anakin himself to grow up, so he can better take care of her.
Eventually, they both mature together... and at some point, Ahsoka surpasses Anakin by learning and implementing the Jedi teachings, while Anakin remains stuck on that first part (no thanks to Palpatine).
Same thing goes for Reva. The character has a goddamn arc.
I'm all for putting a "save the cat" moment to make these characters more likeable (and even when they do, like they did with Rey, then somehow the problem becomes that they're too likeable), but at the same time, I think parts of the fandom should wait and see before prematurely hating on a character (who almost always "just happens" to be female, weird!) to see what story is being told.
removing your masked character's mask is a mistake aesthetically ideologically and sexually speaking but i won't deny that catching a glimpse of a little skin in the spaces beneath the eye holes or the gap where the mask meets the face gets me a bit hot under the collar
FNV takes place in Nevada, meaning they are the Common raven (C. corax). I think they're really funny looking :)
